Highlands Inn in Wealden

Really good food, service was very good and very polite. And not too noisy for a busy place

Really nice and spacious area to have an indoor meal and drink of some sort, as usual good to book in advance for table service. A good range of food and drink to have here as well.

The food was mediocre. It was edible. The service was poor. I think they had been busy, but quiet when we arrived. Staff seemed disinterested, chatting amongst themselves.Maybe very young for the job. When we asked for the bill we didn't receive a bill to check, which I think is very rude. But maybe your staff never check their bills when they go out to eat. He just shouted the price over to us. Very unprofessional. Maybe he is a student and not interested in his current employment.

Stopped in for lunch on the way home food was lovely, big portions reasonably priced made me very surprised by the other reviews I’d seen before eating

The plates were very hot but Strangely food luke warm. Had Sunday roast. Chicken was stuffed with sausage meat . Disappointing ratio was more stuffing than Chicken . Was tasty. Dessert was Scillian Lemon Cheesecake, was more like a sponge cake. Service was provided by lovely young ladies who were attentive but unobtrusive.

Good gastropub, really good service, had the lamb shank

Had a lovely meal, service was fantastic, and went the extra mile for off menu meals. Really enjoyed our meals and our Son was very happy 😊

Good choice of beers, Harvey's and other local brewery's on draught, good choice of food with pretty good service.

I got asked for ID for been 33 year old my birthday on this Sunday be 34 year old food was disgusting get a new chef, when went to order the food at the bar staff said what table number are you on I said no table number on the table, bar staff have attitude problem not good customer service, the nachos no cheese hardly wasn’t great chocolate brownie was dry and horrible would I come back again NO! I emailed the owner he emailed me back saying to ring him to discuss the issue's, I posted on highlands Facebook page and on Instagram deleted my comments under nachos picture he deleted the comment and blocked me, clearly customer isn’t always right anymore and they need to learn some manners and learn Customer service the owner is disgusting

Friendly as usual. Very busy due to the great weather. Bouncy castle for my granddaughter.

Good that there's a decent outdoor seating area. Good there's plenty of parking. Bad that they play music all the time. We sat outside so we could talk, but there were speakers out there too unfortunately. Nice food but far too small a meal for £18.50, another couple of sautéed potatoes would have cost them very little extra.

Awful visited on Wednesday 17th July worst experience ever would never come back again, I ordered a drink got ID I said it’s fine I have ID and bar staff was rude and aggressive and horrible, I ordered Gallic bread, nachos, chocolate cake, Nachos was awful no cheese when went to order bar staff said what table number you on I explained no tables number on garden tables they all had bad rude attitudeI asked for pain they was so rubbish, I emailed the pub owner replied and said ring me to discuss the issue, I rang him today he was rude and abusive I asked or refund for rubbish food and poor service he said no way, he wouldn’t listen to point kept saying it’s about ID no it is not it’s about poor food and awful customer service, avoid this place rubbish owner and was so rude to me, this was awful experience and it’s expensive and for rubbish food

Great place amazing all round experience! Shame we don't live near! Will be back for more as my auntie lives near here! Thanks for making our day xx

Amazing time at the highlands, we were made very welcome. It's a no nonsense kind of place but really friendly. The charm of the people there in the three weeks of work we spent there was hilarious. Top top top

Excellent meal tonight at the Highlands Inn The food was delicious and the service was superb. Emily, our waitress was an absolute delight. Now to be known as the toffee sauce queen. THANKYOU

Lovely place if you want to sit and wait an hour, have to then ask someone to actually come and take our order. Then for an hour wait for starters then when the mains come to watch them take two of the plates from a different table and try to give them to us after watching them physically touch the food and them saying sorry we got the tables mixed up!! When I said but they touched the food the waitress then said it’s ok they didn’t eat anything so here you are and tried passing me the plate!! I explained that’s unacceptable and wanted a fresh dinner for her to walk away and a minute later come back with it. I left the meal and was still expected to pay full price for not even eating it !! Definitely not returning and a waste of £190 for a family meal when only 4 people actually ate

Simply a lovely place to eat or drink plus being dog friendly is a bonus

We've been here many times in the past and always rated it highly. This was the first time for a few years and sadly it was nowhere near what it used to be. The food was bland, cajun chicken for example with no discernable flavouring or steak that was tough and extremely chewy, and the service was slow and poor with young, inexperienced staff who seemed to lack direction.

Friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere and one of the best steaks I've ever had 😋

Very good. Nice car park. good menu

It's extremely rare for me to give 5 stars to a pub so I can assure you this place is worth a visit! I've got a rapeseed allergy and most pubs will swerve me when they hear that but the staff here couldn't do enough for me! The food was amazing and the staff couldn't be more friendly. Even recommending places to go after we ate. Special thanks go to Ruby and chef Gayton and Nat for being amazing! Thank you we will definitely be back!

We booked here for a Sunday roast a couple of weeks ago with our son,daughter in law and Grandaughter. Not having been for quite a while , we didn't know what to expect. It was very pleasant. Two of us had the beef , which was beautiful, and one had the pork. He would have liked it slightly less cooked, but as I told him, you can't really do that with pork. Another had the trio of meat and our Grandaughter had a burger. She started with garlic bread, scoffed that . Then she polished off her burger, chips and beans. She then asked for the waffle and whatever it came with. Compliments to you. She ate the lot. Good going for a 10 year old. We all thoroughly enjoyed our roasts. Service was good. Very friendly staff. We will come back. Thsnkyou

Visited out of the blue to get out of the rain and stayed for lunch. Had a lovely veggie burger, very tasty and moist

Co op is a lovely store and is better than tesco. Ridgewood has waited 10 years to have their own store in the community with the pub on site as well . Well done, co op 👏 👍 👌 😀 🙌

Didn't eat here .drinks only was very busy which means it must be good

Amazing food, great atmosphere, and very friendly staff.

Food was great, pub is nice, lively. Service was rubbish, all young waiters and no organisation. Waited an hour for our meal. Then didnt get offered desert, just given the bill. Not good enough!!

Visited for lunch on the way to Battle. The service was excellent, the waiting staff couldn’t do enough for you. I had the steak pie which was homemade and gorgeous. One of the best pies I’ve eaten. My husband had the steak burger and he was equally pleased. To top it off we shared a sticky toffee pudding just because the main course was so good and we were not disappointed. It was scrumptious. Highly recommend this pub and will be back if in the area.

A great place to eat, amazing food served, not too long to wait, a good atmosphere

5 of us arrived for Sunday lunch. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, we were severed by numerous members of staff and everyone one of them had a smile on their face. The service was excellent and the food was delicious and the price was very reasonable. Would definitely recommend.

We had wraps they were not good, will not return

First time at this venue, and very impressive,

Yummy vegetarian linguine And biscoffe cheesecake 😋

always pop in whenever we visiting my sister in Ridgewood, Nice place for a beer and a chat : ) Havent eaten there yet but menu looks good

We went for an Easter lunch with my husband, toddler and in laws. The restaurant has a lovely, welcoming atmosphere, the staff are very friendly and helpful. Service was a little slow, considering the place wasn't that busy, but we didn't mind it much. Our son loved the pictures of the terriers and especially the Highland cow, so we had lots to look at while we waited. The food was delicious and plenty on the plate for the price. There is a very good, simple selection for children, which is great for our picky toddler. It was the first time we went, but definitely not the last. I'm glad we discovered this place.

Inattentive staff..our food order was not written down and we were asked twice if we had ordered the sea bass or salmon...I hugely regret not speaking to the manager at the time, but my food was awful. Overcooked ,tiny salmon portion served with a barely visible drizzle of hollondaise sauce and a couple of soggy sliced potatoes was further ruined by triple lumps of broccoli not the promised tenderstem broccoli....and priced at £18.95 was the final insult...a rip off..The only saving grace was the excellent Harveys bitter. No plans to eat at the Highlands in the near future....

Good good, fun monthly quiz, friendly

London prices! F&C needs big improvement (tasteless). Waitresses probably on basic pay (no experience). This place can improve big time and earn double $$$$ easy.. I know what im saying (6 years mng London Central)

Excellent food, excellent service. Great variety on the menu and brilliant quality of food. Friendly service and nice atmosphere

Husband & I both thoroughly enjoyed our Roast dinners. Beef & pork were exceptional as were the rest of our dinner. Fantastic service even though it was very busy. Could not fault it

Heating on really high, not comfortable. Good food though!

Lovely pub, excellent food, value for money, would recommend

Food and service were decent on a Sunday afternoon.

Always a delight to go to this place. Great Food & Service.

I haven't eaten here for a while and it was absolutely lovely as usual. The food is divine and the waitresses are all friendly which makes it so enjoyable. If I had to moan, a couple came in with 2 dogs and the dog sat on the sofa where a couple had been sitting previously. I feel dogs are best placed on the floor as I don't want to sit on a dog hairy seat.

Great family owned pub, large open beer garden and great food Still no change, still a great pub, all 3 of their pubs are to be fair. Great for watching the footy too. Oh, dog and child friendly also

I’ve driven past this pub / restaurant a few times over the last couple of months and it looked nice from the outside. decided to bite the bullet and come in here one evening with my mrs. Booked a table via the website and then drove here - it has an ample size car park for anyone driving here. We turned up and shown directly to our table (next to a bunch of loud rowdy men). As the pub was quite busy we decided against asking to move tables. Our waitress took our drink and main orders but when our food came (after what felt like an eternity) from a different waitress - our original waitress forgot to put through a side order! Although it didn’t take long for it to arrive - but would have been nicer for it to have come out altogether. The food was lovely and looked delicious. I had the bacon and cheeseburger and my mrs had steak - to which I was gutted I didn’t order the same as that looked unreal! Pudding and I was spoilt for choice! Two of my favourites were on the menu - sticky toffee and waffle & ice cream. I went for the waffle and my mrs went for the crumble of the day. Prices were reasonable considering how lovely the food was. I picked 3/5 because although the food was delicious the pub itself was quite noisy and the fact that my side dish didn’t come out with my main - that was the only downsides. I would perhaps come back here again - maybe mid or early in the week next time when I’d hope it’s not so noisy!

a really nicely kept pub/restaurant; would recommend a visit if in the area

Oh..wonderful...5 of us, 3 gluten free. We had a wonderful meal. Well done with the haggis burgers! Delicious 😋

Service was good ish that could be todo with being so busy. Atmosphere was great Food was nice. I will definitely go eat there again

Great food. Had a haggis burger which was unique but well executed. The Atmosphere was great and the staff were very friendly.

Had a brilliant evening here they managed to fit us in at late notice and nothing was to much trouble. The service was quick and efficient we were a party of 11 and all of us enjoyed it.

A very cozy restaurant with good food! The waiters were all very kind and we had a good time :)

Lovely family meal for 10 people including 4 young children to celebrate my birthday. Lovely food great selection and really friendly attentive service. I love the atmosphere here and the fact you are not all crammed together.

Would certainly go again. Menu is quite varied and prices are generally on a par with what to expect in the locality. The restaurant is spacious and light with a high ceiling so doesn't feel too busy. Decent sized portions, we had turkey and leek pie with mash, cabbage, carrot and broccoli. Only niggle is that the carrot and broccoli were a little under done. Otherwise, we were served by a pleasant young man.

Went there for a Christmas Dinner with the company, and the food was plentiful and very good.

Matt was a great host for the cheese and wine tasting on 13 December. An excellent selection of local cheeses paired with a wide selection of wines. Really enjoyed the cranberry Aperol cocktail. Would definitely recommend attending the next event if you get the chance. Thanks Matt for a wonderful evening.

Fantastic evening at The Highlands Inn Christmas Quiz. Great cocktails and excellent menu choices. Always wonderful food and wish the pizzas could be added to the menu. Thanks to Becca for such a fun evening.

Quick bite to eat mid-week. The food was delicious and the service good

Had dinner here last night and the food and service was excellent.

The Highlands is one of our favourite places to eat. The prices are reasonable and the food is good. It always feels welcoming.

A fantastic roast dinner with all The trimmings, attentive staff and we didn’t feel rushed at all which was nice. Highly Recommend

So disappointing, we had fish and chips, it was so soggy .... I won't be going back. Normally one can't go wrong with F£C.

Great service and great food. Will visit again.

Food was excellent very tasty and well presented staff very friendly and helpful plenty of parking

9 people for Sunday roast and kids pizzas all perfect and all delivered with a smile, roast potatoes were perfect crispy on the outside fluffy inside

Good food, comfy environment , perfect place to meet up with friends.

First time here and will definitely be back, best roast dinner I've had in years, staff were friendly and attentive

Great place for a Sunday roast, particularly the nut roast for vegans and vegetarians! Even a vegan Yorkshire pudding! The roast veggies are perfectly cooked and seasoned and the meat eaters weren't disappointed either. Mum's fish and chips were great too, couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Delicious roast beef Sunday lunch, will definitely be returning

We showed up without reservations and got a table for an hour and a half (it was reserved for 2pm)which was fine. Staff were nice. Roast was alright, potatoes weren’t the best. They were very good at accommodating dairy free and also did chicken when it wasn’t on the menu. I don’t agree with £6.50 for two little slices of pizza and some chips for a kids meal, could do better with a little side salad (no offence but most places do kids 3 course for like £8, I know places are different, just feel you should look at this again) but over all it was alright. Would still go back id just choose differently.

Great pub, food was excellent, hot and delicious great atmosphere and excellent service

Fantastic Sunday dinner, they had no lamb left so we had beef which was just as nice as when we had lamb, but the service was very slow this time, good but slow, will come again soon

Had an absolutely delicious Sunday roast here today, we went for the full monty and all the meats were perfectly cooked and tender, with fresh Yorkshire's and delicious veggies and sides. The starters were amazing too, we were both stuffed! Would highly recommend.

Bom atendimento, comida gostosa Valeu!!!

Worth more than five for the choice and quality of the food alone. Looks modern and plastic, but when you eat there it is an enjoyable experience

Cracking flat white with oat milk served by smiling staff certainly brightens your day. Especially a nice break from “working” from home.

Lovely outdoor space. Great sized pub. Variety of non alcoholic drinks for drivers. Food looked tasty but was only there for a drink with a friend. Would definitely go there again.

Lovely place!!! So busy but everyone was happy was such a nice atmosphere.

The atmosphere on a sunny evening is just great. That's what drew me in. Lovely terrace. Massive pub..comfy and good food. Nice scene liked it

Very friendly staff, beautifully cooked food, atmosphere relaxed and layed back, we had a lovely time

Always a safe bet in Uckfield. The bar area is massive, as is the restaurant. There's a huge garden area as well, and they renovated the car park recently, which was badly needed! Really good food and drinks selection, great service and a top atmosphere!

Always a warm welcome from Chloe and her team. Our go to pub / restaurant. Good home cooked food, nothing comes with the ping if a microwave! Food cooked to order and how you want it, sometimes iff menu if they can. A few seats in the pub area, or the sports bar for a more authentic pub experience.

Excellent food, had the grilled salmon and a fantastic banana sponge with vanilla ice cream, accompanied by a lovely pint of Harvey’s bitter. Quick and friendly service as always.

Food was great, staff very friendly and efficient and the price was great too.

We had roast beef meals. It was absolutely delicious. The beef was pink and vegetables done just right. Perfect "compliments to the chef". I would most definitely visit again

Food and service value for money

Lovely little pub, highly recommend

Good food and nice atmosphere. Staff pleasant although slow on drinks, no second drink offered!⁹

Great prompt service from Tess; really well presented and prepared food and a welcoming approach to non-alcoholic cocktails. Highly recommended. Very clean and tidy, with atmospheric lighting. Slightly spartan feel, not helped by the low customer numbers at 12:45 on a Thursday - maybe a little colour or table furniture would raise the warmth.

Great food & service! This place does not disappoint! Also dog friendly so our friend's quiet dog was welcomed. Love it!

Food was lovely and staff great. Could do with a lunch time menu as very much dinner portions (not that I moaned) ha ha.

Very good food and nice atmosphere

Both food and service were excellent. Staff very friendly

My daughter treated me to a wonderful birthday lunch here, and what an amazing find. Great place, friendly staff, and fabulous food. I absolutely loved it ❤️

Booked a table for 12 people on the 25th April at 8pm to celebrate the life of my Dad. The food and staff were fantastic and would definitely recommend this place. A big thanks to Chloe for looking after us

We dropped into the pub tonight for a quick drink, the sever, who saw me from the restaurant side, did not come to service my drink requirement until I beckoned her, at which point she was not respectful, or helpful. Last time you will see me, such a shame, as you are local to me, so now I will use the Railway, a receptive pub.

What a fantastic meal and great service! I ate here with a group of friends on 24th April. We each chose something different from the menu and all of us commented on how tasty our meals were and that we hadn't expected it to be so good. We ordered 10 minutes before the kitchen closed and despite this the chef delivered 10/10 meals. I am about to book again for this weekend for a family lunch.

Great food, friendly staff, a pleasure to visit

food and atmosphere here is nice!
