After a very muddy and wet hike around Ashridge woods my wife and I managed to find a gem of a restaurant. Although we could of done with a shower and a change of clothes, we were fortunate enough to get a table. If you want good British food at reasonable prices this is the place. Fish soup starters, lamb and pork for mains and souffle for dessert (see menu for full details), the food and accompanying drinks were very good. Our only quibble, coffee liquor was not the best. But happy enough to give 5 stars 🌟 .

Today we just didn’t fancy cooking, so as we were driving through Berkhamsted we just parked up and picked the first pub we passed. OMG what a gem!!! The staff are amazing and helpful the food is to die for. And I am speechless with the desserts. We were so impressed we booked there and then to come back!!!

We visited on Valentines evening when it was really busy. However every aspect of our dinner was amazing. We really couldn't fault anything! Front of house greeted us and we were quickly seated. Our waitress was brilliant - every attentive. The food was of really top rank London restuarant quality. Drinks great too. Love the decor and atmosphere. Not bad value either - you'd pay twice as much in London.

Service was a little slow but it was a busy Saturday night and the food was incredible. It far exceeds “gastro pub” food. Can’t wait to return.

Dropped in Sunday after a decent fog walk with a group of friends. For a big place gives off a very warm and cosy vibe. A lot of people agree, very busy, if going for food absolutely must book. Good beer and wine selection, didn't have food but looks good. See photo.

I could wax lyrical about this place, or simply say -- you've got to try the food and enjoy the service. Simply stunning Chateaubriand, perfectly cooked, and sublime gorgeous flavour. This place was busy, two days until Christmas, yet the staff were calm, efficient, and phenomenal. Restaurant food, cooked well, served with a smile, in a friendly atmosphere.

Dined here for our annual Christmas family get together. It was overall a very nice experience. Food very nice and service was great. Only downside for us was fighting our way through the barking dogs in the bar area to get to our table. Thankful the restaurant is dog free. Parking is available behind the pub and in the multi storey car park.

Went for 'Set Menu' as a late lunch at 2pm and it was very nice. Friendly servers, nice buzz in the restaurant, and food very tasty indeed ~ not a heap, like cheaper eateries might do, and well presented on good quality plates. The napkins are proper cloth ones, and the wine my wife chose was delicious ! Thoroughly recommend the excellent value of the Set Menu. Nov 2023 : The lure of a FREE glass of Prosecco (as a marketting Birthday treat) was taken up and we weren't disappointed again. Still gorgeous food from "A la Carte" menu, and the wine was very decent too. Deserts were beautiful and complemented the main course. Servers were very attentive and extremely pleasant, with helpful guidance too. Will definitely be back !

We are regulars at the pub, and it’s always 5⭐️ every visit 🥰 We also held our wedding reception here in September and I cannot fault one single thing. The entire team were amazing from start to finish and made our entire day seemless, beautiful all while serving 80+ guests with big smiles and love! Every single guest was blown away by the food & service. Can’t recommend this place enough. It will now always have a special place in our hearts 🥹🫶🏻

I was on a narrowboat holiday with friends and had the good fortune to visit this classy brasserie. We had a fantastic evening, service and ambience were first class. Food was amazing and the duck leg on bean cassoulet with chorizo was out of this world.

Lovely ambiance and drinks, however the value for money of the vegetarian dish I ordered left a lot to be desired 😩 The harissa aubergine main sounded delicious on the menu, but alas what I received upon ordering, I can only describe as a gut punch of disappointment for a £15 main… a measly half of a singular aubergine, with five lonely 3cm x 3cm x 3cm cubes of butternut squash arranged in a wide circumference around the aubergine 🍆 This could of easily been a small starter if the garnishes were arranged in a tighter formation, yet somehow it was decided that this petite serving, if laid out across the plate, was deemed acceptable as a substantial £15 main. Everything else was delicious , so it is really only this dish which put a downer on my meal. Please up the vegetarian food. Just because it is a plant based meal, it doesn’t have to be diet food.

The quality of the service right from the front of house to our servers was excellent. Our food was great tasting and hot. One of our party pointed out that there could be more choice but the seven different meals that came to the table all looked lovely and my steak this time was fantastic. Will go back just for the service. We'll done and thanks for looking after our birthday boy.

What a great experience! We have had many good pub roast dinners in the last 8 years in the UK - this one ranks as the best. All 5 of us had roast beef and all 5 of us demolished our food! An absolutely brilliant cut of beef, done beautifully pink with all the trimmings! 😋 We had a beer and bottle of Pinot Noir which was equally delicious!🍷 The service didn’t match the quality of the food but that didn’t detract from an amazing lunch! I would highlight recommend this brassiere/pub for a Sunday lunch!

Visited last night with my husband for dinner. We sat in the bar area for a cocktail first, which had a lovely atmosphere, buzzy and friendly. Service was swift behind the bar which lots of staff. Then headed downstairs for dinner when our table was ready. Highly recommend booking in advance as it was a full house. Really nice setting for dinner, service was great and food delicious. Everything came out in a timely manner despite it being so busy. See pictures attached. We had a lovely bottle of wine, 3 courses and a cheese board. My only gripe was that was portions are on the small side and my husband wasn't full. Starters were exceptionally small for the price. Highly recommend for dinner and or drinks.

I have eaten at the Highwayman numerous times and have frequently experienced good food and good service. Three of us had lunch there today. Whilst the food my colleagues had ordered was good the sausage baguette I ordered had the smallest chipolata I have ever seen - split in two, it didn’t even fill half the baguette. Very disappointing and poor value.

Part of the Brasserie Blanc chain with a similar menu. The restaurant is lively at the weekends and can be noisy with groups so possibly not an ideal setting for a quiet couples dining experience but certainly great for family and group dining. Couples might prefer weekdays. Nice food from a reassuringly small French themed menu and prepared on site to a high standard. Great classics on offer such as Cheese Soufle, Mediterranean Fish soup and even Escargot! For the less adventurous there's a lovely Beef Burger on offer which is one of my favourites. Look out for the voucher deals too!

Had a lovely meal of duck a few weeks ago, so decided to book a Sunday roast …. 22/1 big disappointment! The beef was lovely and tender, Yorkshire: fine, gravy: fine, however, thereafter, the roasties were tasteless, and looked like they were partially cooked the day before and then deep fried to crisp up on the day. The vegetables, although cooked well, were so few we felt let down, and left still hungry. With a price of £19 for a roast, ( I would happily pay this if deserved) you might consider a Toby Carvery for real roasties and unlimited vegetables and a more reasonable price of £12
