The Highwayman in Great Yarmouth - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We had a wonderful Sunday lunch together in the Highwayman restaurant to celebrate the Patronal Festival of our church in Hemsby. There is a fabulous view of the sea from the restaurant. Food lovely and staff lovely 😍 Thank you all very much. Xx

Had dinner. Nice place. Good service. Good food. Excellent views

Excellent food at a good price in nice surroundings

We had Sunday carvery lunch with 3 doggie’s on our first visit. The staff were extremely helpful and the food was excellent Highly recommended Well done Highwayman keep it up Roger

Nice place.could be so much more.

The carvery was faultless. Everything was cooked to perfection. Best root mash I've ever had. Giant yorkshire puddings and plenty of choices for everyone. The place itself was dated and the pelmet curtains retain a smell that's wafted when the AC or the fan that looked like AC came on. There were lots of staff. Couldn't tell if any of them wanted to be there. Think they could all do with a course in how to be customer focussed and smile.

We've just spent another lovely week at Hermanus. As always we had a wonderful time, despite the weather! The newly refurbished accommodation was spotlessly clean and comfortable but, the staff are what makes Hermanus so special, always warm, friendly and welcoming. The Highwayman bar/restaurant provides a varied menu and at very reasonable prices. A relaxing break amidst beautiful scenery with excellent walking routes. What more can we say except, Thank you.

Friendly staff, nothing is too much trouble. Great food, Sunday carvery is a 10/10 good selection of meats & veg lovely place to stay family run business, dog friendly has a heated pool & kids play area we have been coming here for over ten years highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

UPDATED REVIEW Gorgeous views and they keep a great pint here. More reasonably priced than the pub in the village, too. Staff are lovely, most especially Liz. Good pub grub, reasonably priced, decent portions and yum. Sunday carvery is popular and again, good solid pub grub. There's a wheelchair ramp to get into the bar or one of the function rooms, although the turning circle is tight, especially if you're in a powered wheelchair. The doors are glass and the doorways are standard sized, not the 1 metre required to claim wheelchair accessibility. Wheelchair access to the disabled loo, I found out, is around the outside of the building. No signposts or anything. Right in front of the disabled loo is a path of deep, deep gravel. Guess what happens when you try and take a wheelchair through deep gravel? Yep. You get stuck 😱 What's the point of having a wheelchair accessible toilet with a moat full of gravel that PREVENTS ACCESS? I ended up grounded out, having to shout for help, in full view of a function room full of people. So excruciatingly humiliating 😔 The lack of accessible entrances and the gravel moat means I can only rate this 3 stars, which is a shame. In response to James from management's reply, where he states "we are a family run buisness (sic) and not a multimillion pound company" may I remind you that if you claim to be wheelchair accessible, you have to meet certain criteria. And you unfortunately don't. Accessibility reviewers have been asked by Google to check up on claims made by places, hence the update to my review. And whether or not you are a family run business (THATS how you spell it) or a multimillion pound company, you are bound by the same UK laws governing disabled access. And wheelchair users such as myself are 'nice' - see the positive comments above - but we're fed up of being treated like second class citizens when the law says we are EQUAL. So...YOU have a lovely (THATS how you spell it) day 😁 and try not to get so butt-hurt by criticism. 🅿️ Parking spaces? ✅ Good sized car park, not lined out in boxes 🅿️♿ Accessible spaces? ❌ No dedicated accessible spaces, however, see last remark ♿ Wheelchair accessible? ❌ There is a ramp at the back, however the entrance is through a couple of standard sized doorways with glass doors. This doesn't meet accessibility criteria of 1 metre width. In addition, it only gives you access to the bar and one of the function rooms. The rest of the complex is down a set of stairs. 🚻 Toilets? ✅ Although I can't comment on them, since I'm a wheelchair user. 🚻♿ Accessible toilets? ❌ Going to have to rate this as a no, since the whole point of accessibility is to allow you to have independence. When you place deep gravel in front of the only entrance to your disabled toilet, you are cutting off the disabled person from their independence! 💳 Pay by card? ✅ 🛜 WiFi?❓ Unknown, however I didn't pick up any potential networks while I was there. 🦮 Dog friendly? ❌ No dogs allowed inside

A very lovely friendly welcome for a very enjoyable carvery meal for Sunday lunch with scrumptious desserts of raspberry and white chocolate roulard with ice cream perfect all with excellent service

Went for a wake, but a lovely spot with sea views. The food and service were good.

Great value Sunday Lunch. Good all-rounder for a family meal next to the coast in Winterton on Sea. Staff also helpful and friendly.

We had a 13.30 reservation for the Carvery. Staff were super friendly but the food did not live up to expectations. The pork was tough and overcooked plus there was no crackling left, and none was offered when I asked. The sprouts sere undercooked and solid. Roast potatoes overcooked and burnt. Swede was not properly mashed and lukewarm. Was disappointing, as it had been recommended to us by a family member.

The bungalow we had over Christmas was lovely nicely laid out all that we needed was there the ownley folt the bar and restaurant was not open on the Friday Saturday or sunday

A lovely roast, cauliflower cheese was an optional extra, but one portion was enough for all of us to share. Smelt a little bit of fresh renovations, or cleaning, but not overpowering. Dog friendly, we were sat in the non-dog area, and there were good activity sheets for the children.

Been staying at Hermanus several times a year over the last seven years and can honestly say we have had some great times with friends and family and have always enjoyed the great walks along the coast. especially at the breading times for the grey seals and common seals at Horsey gap. But recently prices have gone up. It’s a sign of the times but this price raise has made them more expensive then renting a cottage which has more space and added privacy. I know Hermanus have more facilities like pub restaurant and swimming pool. But some people go for the break and peace and quite and do not use the facilities. Sorry to say it will be a cottage from now on.

Lovely food served by pleasant and polite staff.

This place is awesome staff food and beer when near pop in a really nice chill out place

First time and most certainly not the last. Went for Sunday lunch, chose roast pork, with roast potatoes a boiled potatoe stuffing 2 small sausages and exceptional Yorkshire pudding.Separate veg so help yourself to what ever you prefer from carrot,green beans, broccoli, and mashed swede. Be aware the swede has something for extra taste maybe mustard. Then a banoffee roulade with ice-cream. Staff very polite and professional. £12.95 for lunch £7.95 for dessert 😋😋. Returned 20 July, sampled beef lasagne and chocolate fudge cake and custard 😋😋. Returned 3/9/2023. Sunday lunch followed by apple,pear and raspberry crumble 😋😋. Service VG.❤️❤️🌈🌈

Good service , lovely location, great value and sunday dinner

Fabulous Sunday roast dinner, service and views looking out to sea 😊

Lovely staff make all the difference.

Beautiful location, lovely people, delicious food. Highly recommend.

Great food at reasonable prices.

I took my parents there for Fathers day, it wasn't overly busy which was nice. The lunch was lovely, giant Yorkshire puds, lovely meat and plentiful veg. My dad is a big eater and he was full when we left. Very nice indeed.

Very nice beach. Car park near the coast it cost a few pounds. Also small place for drinks. You can walk down the beach where at the right time is the year you can see, sea life as seals. The village is really cute with authentic houses .

Pleasant quiet clean and tidy with a easy stroll to beach ⛱ over the dunes .friendly staff..

Night facilities good dining friendly staff

We had trouble finding some where to eat. We see it advised so we popped in. The staff where lovely . We had 4 steaks and a childs sausage meal. Drinks where very nice. Well appreciated.thanks

Lovely friendly place. Good selection of food and drinks. Very friendly and helpful staff.

said open from 12 to 3 but wasnt open till 4pm

Glad to see it open again after the fire great food as normal friendly staff

Fantastic place to stay, with great staff !

Simply one of my favourite places on earth.

Lovely veggie curry, really enjoyed our meals. Staff were friendly. It was a busy evening.

Used to be a great carvery really not good this year .

We loved the carvery and hope it returns but in the meantime the plated sunday lunch is excellent value for money and very tasty.

Visited twice, great service and nice food

found by accident looking for the round houses, superb Sunday carvery, great value for money, happy days!!

Really good food. Excellent staff would highly recommend. Good quality food with good sizable portions.

Food was average, waited ages for the bill, Was very reasonable price and maybe quality was not so good as it was so reasonable. Didn’t wow me for such a beautiful setting and have stayed here many times before it was one of the first times I left Hermanus feeling a little disappointed. However I would not feel discouraged to return as I love the setting of this place and have eaten before here and enjoyed it, maybe this was a one off. I would give credit for how well they were set out for Covid safety measures.

Always worth the fifty minute drive to eat here midweek in the summer or for Sunday lunch. First time for lunch since restrictions so no carvery but the amount of food we received was as much if not more then we would help ourselves to! Plenty of freshly cooked veg and the usual enormous homemade Yorkshire puds. Great value for money, £41 for 2 courses for 2 adults and 1 child. We were able to take our dog too , but do tell them when you book you are bringing a dog so they can sit you in the appropriately. Never disappointed here.

Hi yes take your life in your hands finding this place, the smell in the large cold room reminded me of school dinners, huge Yorkshire pudding didn't make up for half cold meal just average, superb views, not worth the trip, all right if you have kids and dogs 🐕

Excellent place to visit, all well organised for covid safety to not spoil the experience. Staff were all very pleasant and helpful, food on site is superb, especially the cheese on toast with a pot of tea. Highly recommend the walk around the different gardens and woodland areas, plenty of wildlife to see throughout the grounds. Many thanks for keeping everything open for people to enjoy

Lovely place to visit, great food worked well with coronavirus, staff wore masks and were very polite and helpful , we sat outside to eat, the tables were nicely spaced out, we never stayed on the site, but we did enquire, very nice sea views,and quite close to the sea, you do need to walk down hill, so not ideal for wheel chairs. swimming pool on site and club house and pub, we ate in the pub. The round chalets looked good from the outside, you can view the inside online. Also not very far from Hemsby Beach.

Lots of food. Reasonably priced. Attentive staff lovely place to stay

Had the roast pork, and it was so tasty, and the yorkshire puds are huge. I have been going to the Hermanus for 40 yrs, and the decor is the same lol.... but it doesnt take away that the meal was so good, and fruit crumble was amazing.

Lovely food, very polite and friendly staff. HUGE puddings 😊

We are here whilst the eat out to help out was on which made it good value for money. The standard of food is good quality pub grub at affordable prices. We didn’t find the staff very attentive and had a job to get their attention every time we needed something. They do seem to turn a blind eye to the queue waiting to be seated but this could be down to it being busy - just to acknowledge people in the queue would be a good idea. We will return next time we’re staying in Winterton.

Great location with good staff and clean, stayed in round house for a week Could do with lined curtains oh , room very light in the morning

The sign in the bar says they don't do fast food, just good food as quickly as possible,it is as true as their word.

Good honest pub grub combined with a beautiful setting, friendly and accommodating staff, very clean with good Covid procedures and most importantly, taking part in Eat Out To Help Out!!! Great family evening meal thank you.

Brilliant! Love this place and have been going there for years for carvery meals with the family. Many nice memories.

The food is fantastic value for money

Not the usually stand up help yourself carvery at these strange times. Everything was table service, we sat in marquee 9 of us and still thoroughly enjoyed. We chose one meat, 3 veg, all served with roasts, sausage and stuffing and a huge! Yorksire pudding, all this was pre ordered. It was delicious, staff were amazing in keeping to the strict regulations and all wearing face coverings. Felt very safe and enjoyed a lovely family meal at our favourite holiday place . Thankyou ☺️

Came as a family for Sunday Roast - despite seeming to have a lot of staff they mainly kept themselves tucked away inside the building resulting in long queues to be seated, long queues to order and an apparent lack of interest in diners who had finished meals and were waiting for plates to be cleared and deserts to be served. Roast was nowhere near what it used to be like - such a shame as this was such a jewel. Did not feel welcome, felt we were an inconvenience.

We popped to Winterton mid week for a walk on the beach and a visit here after seeing on their FB page that they were open. So well organised, felt very safe and comfortable whilst there with our young son and dog. We had a delicious meal sitting in the garden , and the marquee as it did start to rain. Can’t wait for their carvery to start up again which is the best in Norfolk. Must mention the young staff who are a credit to the restaurant.

Goodness me - what a find - the chef here is absolutely superb- this is Michelin star food with large portions and very reasonable prices. Having eaten in restaurants all over the world- to find an establishment with such a talented chef locally is just heaven. So tasty and fresh - have been back several times already!!

Don't be put off when you first arrive as it seems to be in a time warp. Brilliant Sunday lunch, could not be faulted. I enjoyed the Steak pie, but roasts available including Pheasant (note to self to have next time) and huge Yorkshire Puds almost the size of a dinghy !

I have always enjoyed coming to eat here,friendly staff and helpful,great location also.

Delicious Sunday carvery with huge Yorkshire puddings

Great food and wonderful staff 👍

The Highwayman offers a Sunday carvery. It is a "churn" type venue BUT the food is good, there is plenty of it and the staff are very welcoming

Stayed at Hermanus Holiday park as part of hubby's birthday celebrations and eat in The highwayman Restaurant. Very nice decor in statement black & white. Sadly as it was October we couldn't enjoy the views as it was dark for evening meal but in the summer or at lunch time the views would be lovely from window tables. Food was nice, nothing earth shattering but well cooked tasty & good sized portions. Staff were helpful & friendly

Good quality food and we were sitting in a room off the main dining room with a beautiful view of the sea. If you want the same it's tables R3, R4 or R5. Lovely friendly staff but do book because it was busy.

Nice carvery on a Sunday looking out over the sea in Winterton. Not all of the tables have as nice a view as we had and its set up a bit like a canteen. The food is nice though and reasonably priced

Staff helpful food great good place to come to

Stayed a week at the Holiday Centre and the Restaurant Food and staff superb.

Sunday roast was plentiful and tasty

Excellent Value Sunday Carvery.

Worth going just for the view! As well as location offers bars, restaurants, family entertainment and lovely designed circular accommodation.

Lovely Carvery! It's the Best ! Friendly staff! & management! What a pleasure to look forward to going year after year when I'm on holiday! This carvery is far by the Best!

Had a great meal in lovely room and very nice table settings

Carvery is excellent value for money. Sit outside for coffee afterwards.

What a really pretty little town

Excellent service and food in the restaurant, highly reccomend the table by the bay windows with views overlooking the sea and nearby dunes.

A good alround value meal,a very good selection of meat and vegetables with plenty of seating space,check out the Yorkshire puddings 👍

We came over to Norfolk for five days to visit my Dad who works out here, he knew of this restaurant and took us out for a meal. We arrived, having not booked, we were in luck to be seated by a waitress. The table decor was very fancy, a lot of effort had clearly gone into the restaurant. All food was absolutely excellent, the lasagne was to die for! Not one of us could fault the food, the kitchen staff obviously very talented. The waitress, on the other hand, why was she running everywhere? On the wooden floors, you could feel the bounce from underneath you as you were trying to eat. She was racing around everywhere, huffing and puffing, it really ruined what you would expect to be a really peaceful meal. If the place was hectic with customers, I would understand, as she appeared to be with only one other staff member, but the place was quiet and having previously been a waitress myself in a large country pub, I could not get my head around why she was getting so stressed, running around the place and getting so out of breath because of it. Taking a table’s order and then running up to the till to put it through. The restaurant is only small, fifteen tables maximum? Running from one side to the other is not necessary. It really ruined the atmosphere of the meal, we couldn’t relax and I got similar vibes off the tables around us. She ran past us as we attempted to ask for the bill, had to suddenly stop in her stride, so out of breath. We were seated right up next to the front desk, we overheard her cut off a customer mid conversation when they were asking about a booking so she could run into the kitchen as soon as the bell went. Really disappointing to have to give only three stars as the meals were faultless. Waitress needs to understand that she is a human being, not a robot. Slow down.

Really nice place. Restaurant modern and clean. Food really nice quality. Chips very nice and crispy with my mixed grill. Nice views from the restaurant.

Very welcoming staff...lovely relaxed feel and very good value for money. ..would highly recommend

Love staying at Hermanus. Comfortable restaurant with good sea views and excellent carvery. Very good value for money

I have never been but it looks swanky

A very good place to eat lots of choices

Lovely food in a lovely setting. Staff were very helpful & friendly.Have heard people come from miles for the Sunday roast but we weren't around to sample those delights....another time I'm sure

Superb roast, and baby/family friendly. Great carvery. Is a little warm in the height of summer

My wife and I were staying local and went for Sunday lunch carvery could not believe the price for the quilty of food we received

This is very handy if your staying at Hermanus and the view would be hard to beat. The food is very nice and very reasonably priced. The decor is in desperate need of an update but this is outweighed by the location.

We booked a Friday evening here as we were having a short break in Winterton. We arrived to find a table in the window with great views over the sand dunes, so thought how lucky, however this was spoilt by the fact of repeated staff and customers standing at the front step smoking, which is literally by the window we were seated at, so felt like we were in a zoo! I see James, the manager comments on reviews, so perhaps could take action for future customers? We were the only table in, which is always a worry for a Friday night in May. The food was average for the price. I ordered a lamb kofta as a starter, but was informed that they had no lamb, but could do chicken, which I went for, but when it arrived, they were tiny chicken skewers, the kind we have bought before frozen, not worth the money. The rest of the meal was okay, but not as good as I would hope. On a positive note the waiting staff were great. Friendly, helpful and attentive.

Today we went for a family carvery here and would certainly recommend it.There was such a fab selection of freshly cooked and prepared meats, vegetables and desserts for only £12.95 for 2 courses!!! It was absolutely delicious and as a fab gesture for Easter everyone was given a chocolate egg too. The staff were friendly and the location had beautiful views, will definitely go back.

Went for sea view meal but couldn't see it. Because all the windows was misted up. Served flat Pepsi and most of the food was dried out or run out. Polite staff.

Excellent food service and quality

Great family carvery, great friendly service in restaurant. Good value for money. Highly recommended.

Yes lovely and popular. Dog friendly too. When Highwayman came up on my Google review I thought it was my local pub where I live and scored it a 2, sorry. Two compley different pubs of course.

A really good place to go with excellent service.

Dined here today, following a New Years Day walk along the beach seal spotting ! Our party consisted of 4 adults and 2 small children. Warm welcome from staff, stunning views indeed - as we were seated by the window in the Conservatory. The food was lovely, very reasonably priced, and tasty - from the lamb Kofta starters to fabulous chicken fajitas, burgers and puff pastry pie ! The service was prompt, attentive and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, we will definitely be back, will try the carvery next time !

Really really really nice food. If they were closer to me I would spend all my time in there. Their cheesecake is to die for and highly addictive. Sure the place feels a bit dated, but it doesn't detract from the lovely food and they do their best with what they have.

Very good service and the food is always to a very good standard. The staff are always helpful and friendly.

We found this by restaurant by mistake as we took a wrong turning! It was a Sunday Carvery and we were very late but everything was served with a smile and a few laughs.

Good Carvery and bar. However, parts are in need of decoration detracting from an otherwise comfortable and welcoming environment. Set on grounds overlooking the sea, providing a scenic outlook together with picturesque holiday accommodation.

Very small pub but steak night was good
