Excellent food and attentive service even though the restaurant was full for Mother’s Day. We were a big party of 11 and everyone was very appreciative of the food and friendly efficient staff.

Can't fault it. We live in Highworth and had said we needed to try The Highworth at some point. Our wedding anniversary on Sunday 17th March presented itself as a good occasion and we booked for the Sunday lunch. Welcomed to the hotel, staff were very attentive and the lunch was lovely. Will definitely visit again for something else.

We didn’t bother with a starter and went straight for main course. The belly pork with black pudding and Savoy cabbage was all nicely cooked but the gravy was too salty. We ordered sweet potato fries as a side, again very nice. For dessert creme brûlée.....yummy! Excellent service and altogether a lovely evening.

No reception on arrival. Had to ask to go to our table. Cold room. Not offered wine or wine list. Felt as though we were putting them out. Food was fine.

Good standard of food with generous portions, prompt attentive staff. Pity the special desert which sounded very good had run out. Minor hiccup with the bill which was quickly addressed

The table we had was in the conservatory which was great although the door to the garden was off of this and continually left open. Food was excellent although I did think the roast potatoes had been deep fried. Had 3 courses which were all very good.

A group of six friends - dining as a 'thank you'. The first courses were amazing, very good value and really nice. The main course was disappointing, not in quality, but in quantity. Those who had chosen roast pork had two meagre, thin slices each. The trout was also a very small fillet. The chicken dish, however was plentiful and delicious. We were given one dish of mixed vegetables between the six of us, however the two fish dishes already contained some beans. There was also a dish of cauliflower cheese, which was enough. We noticed that other tables, some serving only two diners had the same amount of vegetables served. We did not leave hungry as there were sufficient potatoes etc and we did not complain as we were there as guests of our friends and we did not want to embarrass them. Overall we were happy with the value and meal, but would hope for more generous servings of roast meat, fish and vegetables next time.
