The Highworth in Swindon

Popped in for drinks last night, we were welcomed by lovely, smiley attentive staff. Great atmosphere, highly recommend!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wanted a special place to enjoy a meal but when we arrived didn’t feel that welcome . Restaurant not busy but kept waiting a good 20minutes before we had order taken . Once food arrived never seen anyone to ask if all okay or if we needed anything. Felt so disappointed as celebrating our 43rd wedding anniversary.

Lovely setting and staff, the food is nice but just not quite 5/5. I've been to The Highworth 3 times now, twice for a roast and once for afternoon tea. I will say, the afternoon tea was one of the best I've had, the food was great. However, the roast dinner for me is just missing something. I find the gravy a little watery, the veg and potatos a little bland but the meat and yorkshire pudding has always been delicious. They are very generous with their portion sizes which I do appreciate and there's good variety. Their service is impeccable, the staff are attentive without being irritating and all very friendly and polite. I'm happy to pay the service charge as I think they absolutely warrant it, however the overall pricing of the food is a little bit much for what's on offer I think.

A lovely hotel in Highworth high street. We were looking for a last minute booking and the staff were very helpful in accommodating the two of us and our two small dogs. The room was lovely and clean with a nice king-size bed. The room was called High Jinx. The breakfast cooked fresh and was one of the best we have had in a hotel served on a very warm plate.

Wonderful afternoon tea with Prosecco! Very impressed with the Gluten Free products, all staff polite, friendly and very attentive. Absolutely reccomend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I've visited The Highworth a few times recently; afternoon tea for a Baby Shower (twice) and a Sunday lunch. The staff are so friendly and attentive, we had two young lads serving us as well as Annie on Sunday (3rd) and they were all great. The Roast Dinner was so tasty, full of flavour and the cauliflower cheese was amazing! Followed by a yummy sticky toffee pudding. The afternoon teas I've had have been delicious, lush selection of savouries and yummy cakes too (love the brownies!). Highly recommend for a celebration/event and lunch also.

We went along for their Thursday Night Grill. Being a special occasion I pre-booked and paid the supplement for the Fillet steak. Well worth the extra as it was the best fillet I have ever had. The basic costs is £12.50, but the cost does go up if you want to add additional sides. Don't be fooled by the price as its the same quality you get on any other day. An extensive wine list is available along with a variety of cocktails or mocktails to accompany the quality of the food. The Hotel is run by 3 sisters and nothing is too much effort, even when busy, everyone is made to feel special.

Had a large lunch booking for a family birthday yesterday. We were seated in a beautiful side room which was perfect for the event. Good food and very friendly and helpful staff.

Lovely building and tastefully decorated. Good food (uncomplicated menu something for everyone) Also excellent staff every need taken care of

Visited for a sunday lunch and thoroughly enjoyed. The food was excellent quality as was the service. The 3 course menu is great value and it was lovely to have a fish option alongside the roast dinners. Would definitely return the next time we visit Highworth.

The Sunday dinner was excellent, it’s nice to see this lovely building / venue brought back up to scratch. It has suffered from poor management and has struggled to find its place within the community. The new owners seem on the ball and the food was very good, at £25 for a three course Sunday dinner, it’s well worth a visit.

A group of seven of us stayed at The Highworth Hotel for 2 nights Bed&Breakfast 13-15 June 2023 for our annual reunion. The bedrooms were well equipped, beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean and we were all very comfortable. - so much so that we hope to return next year! Two points to consider before booking however are, firstly anyone with mobility problems would struggle as there is no lift and some of the stairs are fairly steep and secondly, sadly there are no single rooms for solo travellers who are obliged to pay for a double room. Top marks to the staff who could not have been more helpful and I’d like particularly to pay tribute to the wonderful Lauren who looked after us at breakfast each morning with cheerfulness and efficiency. Nothing was too much trouble. Thanks so much Lauren! You are a star! Likewise, Katy who greeted us on arrival and who served at the bar was a delight at all times. Look forward to seeing you next year.

We chose this hotel for our annual college reunion; its position suited us very well as one couple live in the town and another is not too far away, so they can come for a day. We are so pleased we found this hotel! The staff, without exception, are very pleasant and helpful. All my 'organising' e-mails were responded to promptly by either Katy or Emma and they recognised and took notice of requests. No deposit is asked for and one can cancel with no problem as long as it is at least 48hrs before one's planned arrival. Their restaurant is closed on Tuesdays, but there are eateries close by and it was no problem finding somewhere. Breakfasts were delicious, and unhurried. Lauren was so attentive: she ensured we were looked after very well. Nothing was too much trouble. I like crispy bacon, and it duly arrived. The way the hash brown was cooked made it the best I had tasted! The friends who lived nearby were welcomed for our final breakfast which was a lovely way to finish our stay. We told Lauren we want to book again next year, and we're all looking forward to that!

A lovely surprise birthday dinner, organised by my wife, Donna. The staff at The Highworth were excellent, the dinner was super. A memorable, enjoyable evening.

We had a meal here a few years back and it was ok with VERY slow service, However, the Highworth is now under new management and you can tell. We have a lovely meal last week, and the food was amazing - they also had a very good and varied vegan menu which my wife enjoyed. We have the whole 3 courses and all are great - again nice to have 3 good vegan courses and not just "Sobert" for the desert for my wife. Staff friendly and attentive (but not ott) and yes... quick service. Would highly recommend it.

Pleased to say that our first visit to The Highworth since the change of Management in December (?) was really enjoyable The staff were friendly and welcoming and service attentive. We spotted one or two changes in the usual menu but actually chose from the special vegan menu - a delicious squash and leek risotto. Looking forward to trying new creations in the future

Went here with some friends for a beer or two away from the noisy pubs around Highworth. The bar area had a nice melow vibe with people sat around talking and laughing, but in a way that added to the atmosphere rather than overpowering your own conversation. Staff were friendly and quick to collect our empty glasses. I think the owner was there too, and they took the time to talk to us and check in that we were well looked after which was a nice touch. Haven't stayed the night there but if the rooms are as good as the rest of the hotel grounds then I expect they'll be neat and tidy too.

I visited The Highworth at the weekend with my family for lunch. We were greeted by one of the new owners and made to feel comfortable and relaxed, which with a new born baby as part of the party, this was much appreciated. All of four meals were delicious and hit the spot on a wet autumn day. We ended up staying for most of the afternoon and had desserts too which were home made and were the perfect end to a lovely lunch. Will be revisiting soon and looking to try the afternoon tea too.

A really good meal here, freshly prepared and good value on a Wednesday night (2 meals for £20). The Highworth is a classy place and the staff are helpful and friendly. It's a sleeping giant of a place that deserves to do well.

We went for a pre-ordered cream tea but when it eventually arrived there were some OK sandwiches and a pile of garish cakes which we had not ordered. When just one small dry scone each arrived, we asked for more but that was refused. The jam was of a poor quality with no discernable fruit in it. No butter was offered. Throughout, the service was slow with no staff in evidence at all for long periods. The bill included a service charge - which we declined, but they nad not deducted the £5 per person deposit which we had paid. We will not be back.

Very welcoming. Lovely food enjoyed by all our party of 8 not one complaint. Will be back again soon.

Food was excellent, and service couldn’t fault anything would certainly go there again Was also booked at short notice

Groupon purchase , best one yet ! little gem, in the centre of the town but so quiet, and the orangery was very comfortable.

Walked up on Friday evening for dinner. Lovely meal, just what we needed. Service was excellent, steaks were cooked perfectly, starters were tasty and we felt we'd had a lovely relaxing evening out. Prices are very reasonable. The Highworth is always clean and has a...

We stayed at the hotel recently as we were hosting an event at Thyme. The staff, particularly Lauren and Jen, were excellent and made our stay extremely enjoyable. The hotel had scaffolding at the front but I can only assume this was because of improvements.

We had dinner while staying at the hotel. Good choice of dishes. Food was well presented & pipping hot.

Can't fault the food, we had 2 course Sunday lunch, my prawn risotto was lovely, my friends roast pork was beautiful and cheese and biscuits selection was really good. The service however needs a lot of work. We sat in the bar as we had...

We thought we would have something simple like beer battered fish & chips and a bottle of white wine. The white wine arrived lukewarm and needed ice cubes in our glasses to make it drinkable - they don't appear to have a wine chiller cabinet....

Great location, lovely hotel in an old natural building and clean. Service is poor, with average food and presentation. Afternoon cakes and sandwiches and presented to you in normal smallplates,no came tiersvar this venue. We were seated, tea orders taken but did not arrive for...

Another fabulous Sunday lunch! Great service, delicious starter, main course and dessert, excellent value. Plenty of COVID precautions.

We visited for Sunday Lunch, for the first time since the Coronavirus Lockdown and were unsure what to expect. We needn’t have worried, the food was excellent and e restaurant felt Covid secure, with all safety measures in place. We’ll certainly be returning soon.

Following an email from the Highworth re take away service. We ordered 2 roast pork Sunday lunches. Really glad we did. Efficient, friendly order taking, friendly collection process and lovely food. We have also tasted their fish and chips, again, superbly cooked and presented. Excellent...

Again, brillant Food and Wine was served. Very nice and friendly staff. Was there the second time on a Family Occasion.

This is the second time we have stayed here but the first since new ownership in 2016. What a difference!! We had a great stay. Lovely, quiet and snuggly rooms, good drink selection, great food and very very good service. A special thanks to George...

We had Christmas party lunch at the Highworth Hotel for a group of 15. Amazing lunch, Some had traditional turkey others had roast beef, or pork belly. There was also a great variety of winter veg Also great choice of starters and puds.. A great...

The starters of Prawn and Crayfish and Goats cheese tart looked very appetising and were delicious, the fish and chips, burger and stroganoff were all devoured quite rapidly with no waste. Only one sweet of assorted ices and sorbet has everyone was full, this bowl...

I had the pleasure of meeting friends here for a sumptuous afternoon tea. It was delightful. Lovely and peaceful, beautiful surroundings and a calm atmosphere. Good service and very nice food. Would definitely recommend.

Visited here last night for a drink with my partner. We were served by a lovely woman and the cocktails were awesome! Nice clean friendly cosy atmosphere! Will be returning!

Visited with my partner for lunch. Was a warm sunny day so sat outside in the courtyard area. Was busy for a monday and we were told straight away there was a slight delay with food orders. I ordered the seafood platter, amazing. Beautifully fresh and wonderfully presented and just exquisite. The food that I saw being served to other customers looked amazing too. Top quality food at reasonable prices. Gentleman who served us was so polite and friendly, possibly a manager, and the whole experience was perfect. Plus they allow dogs.

Food was acceptable, but nothing more - they do not do vegan well - tried offer me prawns! Adapted a meal - with limited success!

Having been in The Highworth a few times we decided to have Sunday lunch here again. I wasn’t disappointed either and we discussed we must visit more as it’s in walking distance. We skipped the starters knowing we’d want pudding. I opted for the roast lamb which was really delicious. It was cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth and was not chewy at all. The roast vegetables were also very tasty. My husband had the fish pie which he said he throughly enjoyed and it did look nice. I couldn’t resist the sticky toffee pudding as if had it before and it didn’t hit the sides!Service has always been good for us here. On every visit we’ve had eating, nights we’ve popped in for a few drinks and also when we stayed our wedding night last year. I can’t advise what the breakfast was like on that occasion as I was a little worse for wear. However, my husband said it was very nice and it did look high quality. Thursday nights are steak night which is also very good for value. Highly recommended.

We went in for a date night and really enjoyed the food. The service was good and we were not rushed. Good portions and prices. I really reccomend the restaurant. They offer a decent cocktail menu and it is lovely to pop in for a drink. The courtyard garden is great to relax in with friends or family.

The Highworth proved an excellent place for a meal. The steak was superb. The staff are friendly and the service was excellent. The room was not full, so the atmosphere was not buzzing.

We booked the courtyard garden room for ours sons 21st birthday lunch.There were 22 of us, (4 generations!). We had Sunday lunch which was amazing . We were all well catered for and extremely well looked after. The food was lovely hot and tasty.

We’ve visited here twice for Sunday lunch in recent months. Both times the food and staff were good. The first time service was a bit slow, but it wasn’t the end of the world as we weren’t in a rush, and the second time everything came promptly. The staff on both occasions were really genuine and friendly, and were patient and courteous when dealing with the more elderly guests.

This establishment really does serve a tasty afternoon tea. A really good selection of cakes and finger sandwiches along with a scone per person; all served with generous amounts of jam and cream. Service was excellent.

I came here for a meal with my girlfriend and parents as we had both driven down for a family wedding. As it was late and on a Tuesday we were hungry and were hoping to find somewhere for food. I rang the Highworth about 20:15 as the owner of where we were staying recommended it and the lady on the phone was most helpful and said we could get a table no problem and were serving until 20:45. We got there with 10mins to spare and I just double checked with lady and she recognised it was me who had rang and said come straight through. The drinks selection was great, plenty of ales, gins and wines to choose from. Decor in conservatory was lovely and the food was great! I had a Sirloin steak which was perfectly cooked rare to my liking. All the other food was lovely too. It was a great find and fully recommend this place for just a drink or a meal with friends, family or a couple! Would come again if we’re down this way :)

Long wait to be served although table was reserved several items on the menu not available. Food okay once it had actually arrived.

(Reviewed initially on hotel site - old review deleted)

I read several of the reviews about the service and not letting the customer taste the wine. We have found the service exemplary and the food was gorgeous. We went in hungry and came out stuffed. Well worth the visit and very cheap for the standard.

I was one of a party of about 30 for lunch last Saturday. The food and service were excellent.... BRAVO !!

Very nice restaurant staff very friendly good food and price reasonable. Bar prices are also good considering this is a hotel.. highly recommended

We stayed here as it's near our daughters house and we were visiting. Its fantastic. The Sunday lunch is incredible value for money served piping hot, beautiful tender meat and home made roast potatoes. Starters and desserts fabulous too. Our room was spotlessly clean, crisp linen and lovely pillows and thoughtful design touches as in a full length mirror, designer cushions etc. The staff here are incredible...Tereza did an amazing perfect breakfast for us and the bar staff are fab and all knowledgeable. George is great and John..very entertaining and I actually had a wee hangover from drinking black sambuca with them but they are great guys ...the whole place is spotless..friendly...amazing food...and in a perfect location. Linda : you should be very proud...I don't often take time to review but had to!

We visited here on a Saturday evening and had a table booked for 7.30. We arrived early so went for a drink in bar which was nice and busy and had a good atmosphere. At around 7.25 we sat in the hall (where the 'reception' desk is) and waited for someone to show us to our table. We waited until 7.35 but hadn't seen a single member of staff during that time. My husband eventually went to the bar and said we had a booking - the member of staff seemed surprised that there wasn't anyone in the hallway.

Since our last visit there has been an improvement in the quality of food - would now say it is excellent. A really nice restaurant to eat in. Good service and a menu to cover most tastes. We came away feeling we had had a great meal and were well looked after by the staff.

My Brother got married at The Highworth at the weekend, a beautiful venue for a wedding. Everything was perfect, food excellent, staff brilliant. Thank you

13 of us went for a Sunday lunch and had the worst roast dinner I’ve ever eaten. 2 people were happy with their meals, one is 9 years old and the other had fish. One other wasn’t as disappointed as the rest of us but they said they like a LOT of salt in their food.

Nine of us visited the Highworth Hotel and Restaurant for my wife's 60th for Sunday lunch. Had the room at front of the hotel on the side as you walk in. Great room, really good meal, great service, excellent value would highly recommend. Only slight downside was we had a couple of additional items added to our bill, when we mentioned this it could of been handled better

Have been to the grill night twice in the last 4 weeks, both time food and service excellent. Plenty of choice, must try the homemade onion rings! We had grill deal 2 steaks and bottle of wine for £35, Once again staff and service excellent, so lucky to have this lovely establishment on our doorstep.

Not the best at making cocktails in fact we asked for our money back as they had absolutely no idea how to make a mojito & what they gave us was not drinkable. The service is not the greatest but the food is not half bad, it’s a shame they can’t train there staff properly as this would make it a great place to return to but sadly we will not go again!!!!

Stopped for tea on way home during a long trip. The tea was 5 star. Unlike the wishy washy stuff served in pubs. Served by Anthony, who was very professional and friendly young man. I asked if it was possible to have some shortbread with my tea, and he kindly found some home made ones for me.

Second visit to The Highworth and once again fantastic food, as we were eating later only had main courses but they were both excellent. The trio of sausages was good quality and very tasty with the mash equally well made and flavoured with apple. The pulled pork burger was really tasty with crispy onions and a very well made BBQ sauce.

We have been a few times for a meal with friends as it is a central location for all of us.

Had early dinner here in the conservatory. When I called to make the reservation, the staff member was very helpful and offered either a table in the conservatory or the private room at no extra charge. Menu is fairly concise but that is better I think than having loads of choices. The food was very nicely cooked and presented, we were a family group of 9, and we chose braised short beef rib, cod n chips, crayfish risotto, papardelle, so a real range. Great attentive service even though they were busy. Would go again. Maybe try afternoon tea!!

Our first visit to The Highworth and what a fantastic find. Afternoon tea was great, lots of tea. Will most certainly be back to try breakfast, lunch, dinner and maybe even one of the interesting looking rooms. Thank you.

Been to this Hotel/Reataurant several times now. Great food, even better service, staff are really friendly and helpful

Lovely gem of a place. We came in he midst of the warmest summer i believe the UK ever had. Perfect for sitting out the back for a few drinks.

Went for Sunday lunch. Sat down at 2pm and left past 4pm and in that time had 1 course! When our meal arrived it was nice, good standard but nothing amazing. But it was all sooooo slow. Then when we finally had a chance to order desert they had run out of most of it! When trying to pay was slow so we got up and went to bar to pay. Never asked if we wanted more drinks, if food was ok etc. Staff polite just all very slow. It was not even busy and there seemed to be plenty of staff. 2+ hours for meal, dont think so...

The Highworth have a steak night every Thursday which offers two meals and a bottle of wine for £35 which is not as cheap as some other places but is still ok. We called and asked for a table for two at 19:30 and where asked if we could do 19:45 to which we agreed, when we arrived we found a near empty restaurant but they claimed they where quite busy so could we sit at are table earlier (seemed strange to us).

Went for a meal here with friends, really nice food. Looking at others’ choices makes you think maybe I’ll have that next time as it looks so nice, but mine (rib eye steak) was spot on. Everything well cooked, well presented. Cheesecake proper New York baked so I was very happy. Cosy relaxed feel, but with staff right kind of attentive to our needs. Most enjoyable evening. Would recommend for food and general atmosphere. Car park is tight to get into, so a small narrow car would be helpful or maybe consider parking elsewhere and walking back to it. Consequence of it being an old coaching inn (am guessing)

Resident due to emergency works being undertaken at my home, the welcome given to me (and my puppy) by staff and management at the Highworth has been really wonderful. Linda's commitment to customer service is exemplary even when other regular customers take issue with the dog-friendly environment of the hotel (see 'disappointed' review below) and in no way reflects on the quality, service or atmosphere of the place.

Met some friends at The Highworth Restaurant and enjoyed a marvelous Sunday lunch finished off with drinks out in the sunshine on the rear patio.

A warm welcome, friendly helpful staff plus great food in excellent surroundings. Very happy with our first experience of The Highworth Hotel. We will definitely be going back soon and would be happy to recommend them.

I did not enjoy visiting this tired hotel/bar/restaurant and found that the service was dreadful. Our lunch involved something done to bread to make it absolutely inedible (I think it was frozen and then microwaved or similar) and a situation with a loud, untrained dog which upset diners very badly managed. Really awful.

Myself and my mum visited today for afternoon tea after getting a voucher on groupon. As with most things off groupon because of the price you are not always sure of the quality but this afternoon tea was just perfect! Lovely, friendly service, fresh sandwiches, cakes and scones and unlimited tea! All presented really nicely aswell. It was a sunny day so we sat out in the courtyard and it was nice and peaceful. The hotel itself has been newly decorated and looks really good. This was definitely a bargain for the price, I have paid a lot more for afternoon teas before that have been served stale and dry so this was lovely to receive and would definitely return here!

Dinner for six, no complaints all food served well and friendly staff should be busier for a Saturday night. I liked the semi traditional menu done in a modern food style Drinks reasonable priced

Fabulous quality Sunday lunch- one of the best in the area. Includes meat from the local butchers, epic homemade yorkshires, crunchy roast potatoes and plenty of veg served family style. We had a delightful afternoon.

Easter Sunday lunch - food was very good and good value for money. The only reason for 4 stars was the service, we had to wait 45mins before our starters we’re served. The service was too slow. The staff were polite, but when I asked for some bread rolls for my now very hungry boy, I was told there was no bread, despite butter pots on the table!

Had a Groupon Voucher, good value for money, we had coffee which was a tad bitter, sandwiches,Scones and Cakes were very nice, service was very good but unfortunately half way through the tea there was an awful smell breezing through the restaurant which made me feel sick, we just put the cakes in a napkin and left straight away.

Decided to treat my Mum to a afternoon tea at The Highworth. Wish I hadn’t bothered, Awful service from the start. terrible over priced food. We left very disappointed and hungry. No choice of sandwich fillings. would definitely not recommend.

Visited here with friends and ordered from their normal menu. The food was really expensive and the portion sizes were tiny.

Went for lunch with two friends, only ordered drinks and burgers, all was delicious and the service very friendly and relaxed. My only feedback I would give and it’s certainly not worth marking this lovely place down on, was the food was served on wooden boards. We all said ‘Yuk’ as they arrived. Although they appeared thoroughly clean, I think it is something most diners nowadays do not like... please get some lovely plates, or even slates, but please lose the wooden boards.

I booked this on a Groupon voucher for four of my family. Unfortunately they came away rather disappointed. Their feedback consisted of ; poor food quality, three finger sandwiches, a scone each that were all rock hard and certainly did not appear to be freshly baked and a chocolate cake, crunchy brownie and a mousse which were ok. They sat in the orangery, and felt that the table could at least have had a tablecloth on, to cover the Formica. No decaf tea was available. The other table having afternoon tea left their food and it appeared they weren’t impressed either.

Had afternoon tea with my wife, had a warm welcome on arrival and taken to our table. Food was great can’t wait to go again for a evening meal.

First visit to this restaurant, Sunday lunch with good friends. We had a table in the conservatory, it was light and airy, lovely atmosphere. Excellent set menu, food was exceptionally good and the staff were brilliant.

Last night we had a fantastic Christmas dinner at the Highworth. The food was gorgeous so compliments to the chef, the service was friendly and with a smile so a massive thanks to the lady & me behind the bar and serving, and the decor was great. Thanks again for a brilliant Christmas meal.

Had this as a Groupon offer with friends, fantastic service, lovely food & a great place to spend an afternoon. Didn’t feel rushed & the food was absolutely delicious, would highly recommend.

This was a 90th birthday celebration for 40 people. The circular tables were laid with crisp white linen. The service was friendly and efficient. The food was beautifully prepared and presented, hot and delicious. What more can I say? Delicious. A very memorable occasion

Good position many places to visit ,rooms are being updated and very nice too.very good food but a bit pricey,not very suitable for old or disabled persons as the stairways are steep and bendy and some without hand rails,my sister and brother in law stayed here for two weeks and are in there late 70s so the stairs to there room did not help to there long flight back to Canada ,good idea not to park at front of hotel as that is in the middle of traffic lights ,you must drive off and pray.

My wife and I had a Sunday lunch at this delightful restaurant. As part of a hotel it managed to maintain a unique restaurant experience. The décor and seating options from the Orangery room to the comfy dining area (had a quick look at the sumptuous private dining room) are tasteful and artistic. The food was a classic production of a British Sunday lunch that was very well cooked and presented. All the service staff were professional and attentive with a genuine touch of friendliness from the all. Only minor downside was 2 poorly executed cocktails. This venture deserves success and support.

Plush surroundings, tasty food, good value. If a gentle pace is your thing then go for it.

Visited for afternoon tea after a family walk. Not really sure what afternoon tea consisted of, so we were very pleasantly surprised when the food arrived. Generous portions of sandwiches, scones with jam and cream, and three cakes each (please see photos), plus plenty of tea. We all enjoyed the food and were pleasantly full up.

Went in for drinks and a catch up with friends. Very smart and clean. Good selection of drinks, wine and cocktails. Higher priced then others in the area but worth it. Lovely courtyard garden and friendly staff. Worth a visit uou wont be dissapointed

The food itself was ok although not very exciting. Cheese and pickle, cucumber, and ham and tomato sandwiches. Plain scones (1 per person) and 3 cake varieties. I was pretty underwhelmed and thought the amount of food was very poor considering the price. I emailed The Highworth to voice my concerns but no one has bothered to reply. So I guess I will add poor customer service to my list of gripes! Definitely room for improvement.

We had sunday lunch at The Highworth yesterday. We had 2 courses for £15 each. Prawn cocktails to start , one roast beef and one roast pork, with lovley yorkshire puds and great crackiling with the pork, lots of fresh seasonal vegetables. The food was piping hot on nice warm plates. We had no room left for pudding , Finished the afternoon with a bottle of wine in sunny courtyard garden. Staff and service great.
