| Not impressed,very expensive for what you Get.This Shouldent be presumed to be a village Inn! More like a upmarket restaurant without The quality.The front of house bar person Was rude and uncourteus,try the Angel across The road,better quality beer and a warm welcome! droutes - 5 May 2012 17:45 |
| Oh what a great find this is. A sympathetically restored old Inn with a contemporary twist. Modern, artistic wallpaper complements a sympathetic restoration of the old fixtures and fittings. A great view can be had of the windswept high street in this picturesque town from the glazed window seat which portrudes from the front of the building. Sitting there, thinking of times of old yet relaxing in the warm atmosphere. The furniture is quite modern but comfortable and there are a number of interesting rooms along the stone corridor in which you can sit and socialise. The beer garden at the back in the lovely little courtyard compliments the good seating area outside the front. The beer is superb; a good selection of well kept real ale with some local choices. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and polite. a1ex_e1 - 15 May 2011 09:21 |
| I have stayed at the Highway on a couple of occasions, and always a good experience (if slightly dear). It is essentially given over to food, and one would struggle to drink without eating as all the tables are generally reserved for diners, and the bar counter is tiny. Indeed, it can be awkward to get served when people are congregated around it. That said, when the weather is fine, there are tables on the pavement and the garden is a good one. However, given the tourist trap that is Burford, most everywhere else is highly food-centric too and you can't knock the HI particularly for that and - when quieter and/ or there is space - it is one of the nicer bars in town. Ale normally runs to two taps and are generally in good nick, although it can be variable. I'd try it first over some of the more obvious 'pure' pubs'. grovetown - 10 May 2010 00:23 |
| At first I thought this was a tea shop (probably because there is one next door and people were outside it having afternoon tea) but I spied a couple of handpumps and ventured in. Not so much of an emphasis on eating as other Burford establishments (though that may have been the time of day) and two ales on Hooky and Prescott's Track Record - which I went for and was quite reasonable. Lady behind the bar was friendly enough and it was a reasonable enough place to stop for a pint - better than the other options in the town. anonymous - 5 May 2010 20:59 |
