Highland Restaurant in Broxbourne

i cant give no stars thats why its one star. made a booking for last night for 8 people hired mini bus turned up and place in darkness totally closed. any way went down road to Mento's bar and grill brilliant food so thank you Mento's for providing a brilliant night.

I've had better. Toilets: The bathroom is sub par, the hand dryer is worse than shaking you hands, the actual room is cold, and the taps were broken but still functional. Dining area: Seats were uncomfortable, cramped to the point where I had to walk out of the restaurant plenty of times (I'm claustrophobic) Food: I had garlic mushrooms as a starter, the mushrooms were good but the sauce was bland, no flavour at all. The Sunday lunch was okay, potatoes were soft, pork was really herby, turkey was actually good, peas were good not mushy, apple sauce was cut into bigger clumps of apple but has a nice flavour. For desert I had profiteroles, and call me greedy but 3 profiteroles covered in a messy, sticky chocolate sauce is not a desert. Service: Service was slow, yet they did their job kinda effectively. Overall: Would I eat there again? No. Would I recommend it? No. Was it awful? No. It was okay, but not recommended at all.

Went here for dinner last week. Food was very good and had some live music which was good but not intrusive. Unfortunately wasn't able to have the meze as my wife is pescatarian and daughter has narrow tastes. Had a mixture of dips and veg/ fish dishes for started including calamari and halloumi. For the latter the waiter asked if we wanted it fried or grilled which is always a good sign. All very nice. Daughter had fillet steak for main for which there was a decent sized portion for £30. I had pork souvlaki which was good and wife had octopus which was really good. Not massively busy in there for a Saturday night (4-5 other tables) which I was surprised about given how the good food was. Decor may be a bit of an issue as feels a little in need of updating but that's not a big issue for me as the food was good. Staff very friendly. Would definitely go again.

My wife is writing this review as she chose this restaurant for her 70th birthday celebration, the day before her actual birthday last week: I wanted a traditional Sunday lunch for my family and a few close friends. There were 26 of us and I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Jimmy and his staff were so welcoming and friendly - nothing was too much trouble. They were attentive without being intrusive and, although the restaurant was very busy, we were made to feel it was a private party. Everyone in our group, aged from 5 to nearly 80, couldn’t stop thanking me for choosing this place and were full of praise for the food and service. Most of them had not been there before and said they would definitely return. We had a delicious three course meal, with a good selection of starters and desserts. The carvery main course had three excellent meats, all the trimmings and several vegetables. Prices are very reasonable, portions are large and service charge is not included but I was more than happy to leave a 10% tip. The following Sunday just my husband and I went back to enjoy another lovely meal. Thank you Jimmy and all your lovely staff!

Another Sunday, another roast dinner. Highland is a fairly run down restaurant and looks very dated & tired. Definitely needs a glow up. The food is fairly tasty, but mediocre. They serve carvery roast with all trimmings. A choice of starters & desserts and it’s 3 courses for £18.95, so fairly good value. All staff were friendly and attentive. Not necessarily somewhere I would visit again unfortunately.

Lovely restaurant, first time we had ever been and we will definitely go back, we had quite a wait between starters & main BUT all the food was freshly cooked and was piping hot and very large portions, the sirloin looked amazing, much prefer that than a dinner that comes out luke warm. Staff are all very friendly & polite and nothing was too much trouble for them. Drinks are very reasonably priced all in all we had a great night celebrating our sons birthday.

My second visit Saturday evening on 3 February with our friends, arrived at 19.00hrs sat down and waited 5 minutes for a waitress to take our drinks order while we decided what to have,drinks arrived 10 minutes later. Soon after the waiter arrived to take our orders. Considering their was only 3 other tables with customers already there before us I was surprised that the starters took over an hour to arrive, then the long wait for our mains by 21.10hr I called the waitress and asked her if she could find out about our order, she returned and said it’s being processed 21.20 it arrives. So 2hrs 20 minutes later I’m looking at the most tiny pitiful T bone steak that looked like a small steak chop, the fillet side of the steak just didn’t exist and the other half was like shoe leather I gave up trying to eat it and just hate the chips and called the waiter and complained £29 for this NO! He took the plate and returned shortly afterwards and said their was no charge for my meal. My friends also had issues with their food. I noticed the table in front of me also complained about the delay of their food arriving. I found the music to loud as well and by the time we called for the bill around 22.00hrs I had enough. We didn’t leave any tip and told the owner when leaving. Won’t be going back.

Was here for works Xmas dinner party. Food was okay but the atmosphere was brilliant and people that work there were lovely x

Had our yard Xmas party here and the food was great, good service and a really good atmosphere

The food was absolutely amazing staff very nice can't rate it enough

We had a really lovely meal (steak) at this restaurant, they were very accommodating and we're extremely welcoming and friendly. I'm looking forward to eating here again in the future, and I would definitely recommend the food, delicious - my steak was cooked perfect.

Fantastic authentic Greek restaurant, not some faux copy. Excellent Greek Cypriot host Dimitri (Jimmy) Demetriou.

We had my daughters birthday at Highland Restaurant , the food was so delicious and delicate. The staff is so polite and helpful.Totally recommend it👍🏻

Great place to go yo. Food lovely. The waiters and owners are very accommodating. And friendly. Lovely environment. We had the meze .

Hidden gem that you need to visit. Authentic Greek Cypriot food, live music cooked by the owner Jimmy.

Always a pleasure coming here!!,nice white crisp napkins and tablecloths.Always feels you've come to somewhere special, which of course 'you have'. Staff always polite,friendly and helpful. Looking forward to my next visit !! Edit . Back again for a Sunday Carvery, spent a leisurely couple of hours or so ,enjoying the food and the atmosphere . And still very good value for money of under £20 for a superb 3 course meal

The Greek meze night was excellent - the food was delicious, great service and the entertainment was the finishing touch for a fun night out!

Nice food and super helpful staff.

Fantastic restaurant, and does the best Sunday dinner ever!

Very satisfying Sunday roast. Thanks

Very busy - left us waiting at table between drinks & courses. Very pleasant staff.

Had a brilliant night at this place as always. The atmosphere was amazing, the food was lovely, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Didn't wait long to be served and the entertainment was excellent. Looking forward to going back again soon.

Amazing food and such an amazing staff. Gave out roses and balloons to the woman today on valentines day. Such a nice gesture. Finishing touch.

very friendly staff and food was delicious

Great place to celebrate a special occasion,,, can't help But have a good Time 😀

Great place for steak!! Really enjoyed

Great food, lovely friendly staff, great atmosphere, would definitely recommend the Highland restaurant.

Had a great night out, great food and great entertainment with Mario and his Elvis show, food was superb, can't wait till the next one

Mario night, always an excellent evening, thank you..

Had a very enjoyable new year's eve meal. The live music was great and a lovely atmosphere. Couldn't have picked a better restaurant to celebrate the New Year.

Nice restaurant and good quality food not much choice for vegetarians or vegans and dessert menu not clearly marked to inform of vegan/veggie. We had Sunday roast carvery but no option of a nut roast or anything veggie that would go nice with gravy. Staff don't know either which desserts were veggie. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere.

5 of us went for a Christmas party evening, good service but the food really let it down, I had a cannelloni for my main which was dried up and bland and had the caramel cheesecake for desert which was soggy, really disappointed after paying £37 and having to go home and eat!!!

20 of us went last night for our Christmas meal we all had such a great time food was hot and delicious and we all had different meals the staff was very good and friendly can't recommend enough

Went here for a work Christmas dinner. Wasn’t impressed at all. Table booked for 7:30 yet wasn’t served food till after 8:15 even though we had pre booked from their Christmas menu. My starter was the garlic mushrooms. Which was basically button mushrooms swimming in tinned mushroom soup that had had garlic added to it. My main was the turkey dinner. The meat was dry, the potatoes and vegetables were exceptionally salty and the Yorkshire pudding was very over cooked. My dessert was the lemon meringue that was soft almost soggy although I’m quite sure a meringue should be firm on the outside. Very disappointed especially as it was £36 per head. Definitely wouldn’t recommend.

The restaurant is clean and presentable staff were friendly and attentive the owner polite friendly and decent unfortunately was all let down by the food which at best was mediocre there wasn't anything that stood out for me the meat was fatty and was very greasy this I'm basing on what I ordered and not too suggest other things on the menu were not better drinks were quite heavily priced as well i think if the food was better thought through with more attention payed to its quality would make this dining experience a whole lot better than it was Staff were 8/10 food was 3/10 atmosphere 5/10 cleanliness 8/10 value for money 4/10 that's my honest opinion

Last minute decision . Food fine, staff friendly and the Abba tribute very good. Will definitely come again

Atmosphere was what you made it. An Experience.

Went there for Sunday roast definitely gone down hill I’m sorry to say . What’s happened to the beef used to be a great big bone in rib now you get some sorry looking beef that you can buy from Morrisons waited for at least five minutes before the roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings arrived. Staff lovely manager lovely they just need some professional help . Been there during the week when it wasn’t to busy food lovely . As soon as it gets busy they go down hill . Will definitely give it another chance but definitely will not be returning there for the roast dinner

Good food and friendly service, I would ring first beforehand to check as they do theme nights over the next 3 months and it can get booked up.

Great food, great price, great service

The food was absolutely lovely. I had a porterhouse steak, my partner had a lamb shank. Both meals were outstanding and the portion sizes meant that neither of us emptied our plate. The service was very good and the chocolate martini is to die for!

This is place looks like a normal steakhouse from the outside, but it's a step above. The service made me feel like a lord. Not only is the food amazing, they have entertainment on some nights it's worth checking out.

Wow can’t recommend this place enough, first time visit here for a birthday meal, and the food was unbelievable, my steak was cooked to perfection, and the service was amazing really pleasant and friendly staff, and the owner of the restaurant is really down to Earth and out going! If you ain’t been I’d definitely give it a go!

Lovely restaurant for family and friends With great service

I visited this restaurant recently for the first time and overall we enjoyed our meal and the service and ambience was great. Looking forward to trying the steak next time!

Beautiful food (18oz as per the photo and my greedy face). Very reasonably priced and staff were super friendly. Had a lovely birthday meal and will definitely be back again

Love this place, service is excellent the staff are brilliant food is great and the entertainment is fab..

Great night had a friends hennight food lovely service wonderful elvis night didn't want it to end

Just had the Sunday carvery and absolutely stuffed. 3 delicious courses. Good selection of veg and 3 meats. The staff are most attentive and friendly.

Incredible tomahawk steak we enjoyed! 1.6kg shared between the wife and I. Probably the best steak we have ever had in the UK. Everything was perfect! Onion rings to die for! Ended off with great coffee martinis Service was impeccable and friendly as always.

Great food and great services and friendly people.

Had a fabulous entertaining evening with Mario the talented Elvis tribute artist, last Saturday, celebrating my mums 70th birthday, with 18 of family coming from all afar areas. Hosted with great communication and direction to his team by Jimmy. Nothing too much effort.. Food was tasty. Especially the lamb , moorish..can't wait to next time we go there..

The staff are lovely and friendly, they danced with us! The food was very nice and the singer was very good. An all round great night was had by all,I definitely recommend it for a works do.

Great place to dine 40 of us dancers + entertainment

We have been a couple of times recently. The first time we got offered a bread roll but this time we didn't. The toast with the mushroom starter wasn't as crunchy as last time and the potatoes weren't either. Last time they were some of the best I'd ever had. Still excellent though. My only criticism, as with many restaurants is frozen brussels. I absolutely hate the texture and find it a let down. As it's a carvery I don't have to have them but..... fresh ones are so very much better

Had a Christmas party here and venue was good, food was good and entertainment wasn't bad either.

Definitely to be recommended. 3 courses all of which were superb. The roast potatoes were golden and so crunchy. Service good and extremely friendly.

We went on a Sunday so was limited to only a carvery. Starters were ok and fresh bread and butter was in great supply. Customer service was great overall. No children's menu and they ran out a lot of things like ice-cream and biscuits for children's desserts.

Had a 90th birthday party great tribute act robbie William's very good and started the party staff and food excellent could not fault it at all thank you highland grill

Great service at value for money prices. Very friendly and helpful staff and management team. Great quality food well cooked and presented.

Enjoy my meal and the manager was very nice

Tribute night was amazing. Food was very tasty and very filling. Staff very attentive. Would highly recommend.

Sadly the tribe act cancelled at last minute due to Covid BUT the replacement act was brilliant. Food was very good along with great service. Was not too crowded either so felt more Covid safe. Was so nice to have a good old dance after way too long. Overall we have a fabulous evening and look forward to returning soon

Excellent food, fab staff, perfect service!! Steak was cooked to perfection 👌

Young waitresses helpful BUT cakes tasted as tho they had been defrosted. The scones were hard and tasteless and the cream also had no taste at all. Plenty of tea and coffee was available

We had a family meal for our golden wedding anniversary,we have been here for various family meals.We usually go for the Sunday roast, which is a set menu for £16 99pence .This comprises of a starter,the roast dinner,which has two choices of meat all the trimmings.There is also a vegetarian option or fish if you do not eat meat.,a pudding with about 6 options also the same for the starter.The staff are very friendly and helpful and efficient.

My wife and I both really enjoyed the steaks we had here. She had the larger fillet, while I went for the T bone. Both were cooked just the way we asked.

Great night for a friends Birthday , food that everyone else had was good however I had the Lamb Shank and it was the worst Lamb shank I've ever eaten, it was very fatty and grey looking, came with mash and no vegetables, Comedy entertainment was fab, staff attentive after a slow start.Hand Dryer in the ladies needs updating as was useless

Just had a great meal in a relaxed environment. Staff were friendly and attentive. Thoroughly recommended

Wonderful romantic evening and great entertainment.

All 3 courses were very good. Loved the tribute singer. Service very good and reasonably priced. Have booked another night with friends already

Truly amazing food and wonderful staff although the portions were big at times. Would recommend

I order a fillet steak which is normally a very soft meat, small and quite thick, If cooked well it would melt in your mouth. Well the steak they served me was not a fillet steak and it was as hard as my shoe…. disgusting food. i had to pay an extra £7.50 for that and i would definitely not recommend this place at all. The starter was nice but very disappointing!!

Being Fathers Day, the restaurant was busy with many family groups. I had garlic mushrooms starter in a cream sauce - delicious!! There was plenty of choice of vegetables and meats. I chose roast beef. and I can honestly say that I have never had such tender roast beef. There was a good choice of desserts too and I had my favourite warmed, chocolate fudge cake. How they can do this for £16.95 is amazing.I am so glad to see that they are now able to take small groups and I shall certainly return.

Amazing Luther Vandross tribute night! Great food friendly staff. Thank you! A***

Great food. Good service. Friendly staff who make sure everything is ok for you.

Fab experience,great night with good food.first time,but will definitely be back.

Just had fish & chip lunch ,take away, for my birthday treat. Really excellent thank you Jimmy. Cant wait to have a meal at the Highland....

Such a helpful place and great service. Now a regular for ordering our Sunday Roast Dinner which is plentiful and great quality. Nothing is too much bother. Thank you so much!

My Sunday lunch was delivered at 1 p.m., as requested and piping hot. I had ordered gammon which was cooked to perfection. I was amazed at the selection of vegetables - more than I would have cooked, even for Sunday lunch, at home!There were roast and mashed potatoes, sliced carrots, peas, parsnips and Brussels sprouts and delicious cauliflower in white sauce. There was also Yorkshire pudding and stuffing balls with hot gravy in a separate container.This was a man-sized feast and I shall certainly order it again. It was delicious.

Best steak I ever had!!! Amazing and the owner is very welcoming. Highly recommended it!!!!

Excellent food, excellent service and now offering the most amazing takeaways. A definite recommendation.

Great place, Great staff, Great food! Great price! Nothing more to be said.

As always Jimmy and his team did a great job of keeping everyone safe and as always the food was top quality. Looking forward to seeing you in December x

A fantastic evening at this family run restaurant. From the warm welcome, to the delicious food, to world class customer service it was a great night and definately will be going back again. Jimmy and his family are amazing hosts and know how to treat a customer.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch at the Highland. The Sunday lunch is very good quality.

Great food and very friendly staff

Very impressed with the food and service received, it was top draw. The restaurant has met all covid requirements and not once did I feel uneasy. The food was a great choice and good value, delivered hot and a reasonable price. Well worth the visit

Food was beautiful and wonderfully presented. Me and my husband had a lovely time. The staff were so lovely and accommodating and it had a really welcoming atmosphere.

Another lovely visit to The Highland. Was a lot quieter than normal but this made it even more ideal for social distancing. Food and service excellent as usual. Burgers are massive so perfect for a hungry teenager. Our 15 year old son said it was probably the best burger he had eaten! Looking forward to our next visit

Lovely restaurant and wonderful food would definitely recommend the ribs absolutely delicious. Lovely staff too.

Took the EOTHO offer and had the Steak. Service was just right and all staff were polite and friendly, tables were well spaced (as per COVID) Very enjoyable food in great surroundings.

Visited the first time since lockdown this evening, a normal 1st class service, food beautiful, and staff that look after you, great place to chill and eat,be back very soon!

Last time I had a kebab that good was in cyprus.

Food was great, had a gorgeous fillet steak, and prawn cocktail starter. Couldn't fault that! Service started off great, attentive, but then after we finished our meal and plates were taken it was a full 45 minutes before we were able to get the bill (didn't have drinks either) so that put quite a dampener on the evening.

Good social distancing ,a varied menu, lovely food

We came to visit on a Sunday and they were serving a three course roast meal. The portions were tasty and generous and we left very full. The restaurant is big and spacious. I would be happy to come back again next time I’m in the area.

We visited on Sunday for the roast. Lovely food, very good quality and professional service. We will be visiting again.

Very welcoming, very well space out, the food was fantastic, I had a Greek maze starter, then won the best Greek kebab iv had,Since I last visiting Cyprus, *****

Brilliant service and the food was amazing 😋
