Sunday lunch absolutely DISGUSTING and when we complained we were told "you can't have refund just cos you complained" None of us ate the meals given, as they were unpalatable and the gravy was like dishwater Chef came out with real attitude before she even spoke to us and said " well you've eaten 1.5 meals so can't have money back" Wouldn't give us the name of manager "you'll have to ring in the morning and speak to them" DO NOT VISIT THIS ESTABLISHMENT UNLESS YOU WANT RUDE, ARROGANT, CONFRONTATIONAL PEOPLE SERVING YOU!! WE WERE NOT THE ONLY ONES TO COMPLAIN AT THE SAME SITTING

We had a very enjoyable evening. We originally went in for a couple of drinks, and we ended up playing bingo and entering a quiz night. The staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough for us. We would recommend anyone to pop in for a drink. Thank you, Highlands, for a fab night.

A nice comfy pub near the promenade but unfortunately the food was terrible, it was such cheap products used. My food was extremely greasy, I complained but nothing was said and left basically all my food and still paid for it!! Never again, avoid the food of going there . Very Disappointed 😔

Absolutely rubbish. From the moment we made our order, and almost an hour to get our food at the table, the experience was dreadful. We went to the bar and placed our order with the gentleman who wrote it in his little book. He turned around to type the order from the book into the POS system and was going make the charge, when we reminded him we need to order drinks too, before giving me the bill. The food eventually came for three or the four-member party. He gave the meat lasagna to a vegetarian and the veggie lasagna to the meat eater. I'd ordered a chicken skewer starter and a curry main course. The curry came first, but as we were still waiting for the final plates for the child in our party, I just ate the curry, expecting the starter to arrive later. We told him the horrible mistake with the lasagna's which we found out was the last veggie lasagna, so he told us they'd make another veggie pasta dish instead. At this point we asked where the four other small dishes were and apparently, he explained the chef had 'lost his head'. A further wait for the correction and two of the missing dishes, and again I had to ask where my starter was and the child's chicken tenders. The tenders came and he said after almost an hour he hadn't ordered the skewers at all, and I didn't order them. We did see him write it down as it was my first request. Maybe I should always request a receipt to check in the future. Overall, the service was appalling, and the food was simply rubbish. Not recommended at all.

Went in as it was recommended as dog friendly. We were planning on getting food and drinks, the bar had signs that it was closing from 6pm for a private function which was fine, we went in and the atmosphere seemed great had a good buzz to it but when we asked bar staff if they had a free seat for food and drinks he just stared at us and said it’s just what’s there. We would have stayed for a drink and then went elsewhere but the staff member just seemed off with us (maybe he doesn’t like the Scottish haha!) so we went elsewhere 👍🏻

Not a successful visit. Having sat down and made ourselves comfortable, viewing the menus placed on all the tables. At the bar, at quarter to eight evening time, we were told the kitchens were now closed. No food. We had been looking forward to eating here... Can I politely request if the food is no longer being served simply remove the menus from the tables. Disappointing.

Having frequented The Highlands for many months we had been anxiously awaiting it's reopening following a MAJOR renovation. On entering: WOW! The Highlands now looks amazing with an incredibly tasteful colour scheme, furnishings, all new seating, tables, well, EVERYTHING looked stylish and upmarket! We were so impressed as we sat down and took in our new plush surroundings. As it was a Sunday we decided to order the Lamb roast dinner and mushrooms in stilton sauce for starters. We soon wished we hadn't. The diced mushrooms (2 each at most) arrived in a ramekin. We both looked at the tiny dish in disbelief. Surely some accompanying crusty bread would have helped bolster such a measly portion? Then things got worse. The main course arrived. It was well presented but, again, the portions were miniscule. Especially the farcical slither of lamb! Surely someone was taking the p*ss? Anyway, after taking a photo of my plate (if only to confirm my eyes weren't deceiving me) I began eating and discovered the food was barely warm. And then things got worse. Yes, even worse. The waitress approached and asked if everything was ok. I responded with a "No" and shook my head. Unbelievably, she just turned and walked away without saying a word! I'm not one to cause a scene but this was not on. I stopped her and asked why she had ignored my complaint and hadn't enquired what the problem was. She looked like a deer caught in headlights and clearly had received no training on how to deal with such a situation. I decided not to cause the young girl further distress and paid for our "snacks". Suffice it to say, we will not be returning to our once beloved Highlands. Yes, the pub was a bit dog eared but the food was first class. And that's what matters.

James the assistant manager and Tony are fantastic. We eat here once or twice a month. For a budget pub restaurant, the food is always on point. What’s even better, is the service. James the assistant manager is really friendly, helpful and always smiling. Then there is Tony. So helpful, accommodating and has a really good aura around him. All the staff are great, but these 2 are next level
