About This Pub
Ah, The Highlander – it's one of those cosy pubs in Hitchin that really knows how to make a visit memorable. From the reviews I've had a look at, the staff stand out as absolute gems; they're always on hand with a smile and quick to sort you out, which makes the whole experience feel warm and personal. The food's another highlight – fresh, well-prepared dishes at prices that feel fair, and it's spot on for everything from a quiet meal to a lively family do. Plus, with a decent range of drinks and that inviting outdoor space, it's easy to see why folks keep coming back for more. On the downside, though, parking's a bit of a bother; you might end up circling the block, and it's not the budget-friendly option out there, so it pays to plan ahead. All in all, it's a solid choice if you're after a proper pub vibe with great grub, but just keep those little niggles in mind for a smoother trip.

Staff always friendly and attentive. Nice food at reasonable prices. Best local always family go-to!
This is a great place for a quiet meal. The staff are very friendly.The food is great @ a great price. My only problem was finding somewhere 2 park but don't let that put you off.
We have used the Highlander for many-a-celebration over the years and always had an excellent experience. Today was another of those occasions. The communication from Charlotte (the owner) was great. The food was enjoyed by all 16 of us dining, from young ones to older ones! The food tastes fresh and uses high quality ingredients. All the staff were fantastic and it felt like a home from home from the moment we arrived. We will definitely be back again to enjoy future celebrations with you. We can always trust you to ensure we have a memorable day. Thank you Eric, Charlotte and family!
Fantastic family run business, friendly staff, top quality food, good choice of ales/drinks, pleasant outdoor section with plenty of seating.
Not cheap but worth the money.
