Highwayman Inn — Restaurant in England

DEAD MOTH IN BURGER !

We were having a nice family meal tonight celebrating our girls going to university, so a pretty special occassion. We chose the Highwayman in Sheriff Hutton as we have been 3-4 times before and have always had good food and a pleasant experience .

Tonight was going smoothly until my daughter found a full size dead moth inside her Halloumi burger and nearly vomited! Leaving half of the meal on her plate.

On noticing the moth we called waiter who took the offending plate away and apologised. The owner came over and said the following to us '' its a Monarch Moth and they are everywhere this time of year, I don't know how it got in there', then offered us a small apology and walked away.

Before paying, we requested a small deduction from the bill to the young waiter - 5 minutes later the owner reappeared and said he could only offer us £5 off or a free dessert! After small negotiation he reluctanclty deducted the cost from the bill but couldn't look me in the eye and then took my card for payment which came to £92 and said "£92 please, thank you!!!" with no further apology.

We kept the situation very quiet , and controlled and did not make a scene. Our lovely family meal experience had been spoilt, followed with an unbelievably poor reaction from the owner as if this was a normal everyday occurance. This experience has upset both my daughters, my partner, and myself and made us feel physically sick. We are not a family of drainers, moaners or free loaders but feel we need to write this review as we felt we were treated poorly by the owner (not the young waiters - always good) and this has put us off returning to the Pub for future meals.

Warning - check your meals for dead moths as apparently they...

Had the pleasure of visiting the Highwayman Inn in Sheriff Hutton recently, and I must say, it was an excellent experience! We demolished a lovely roast, and it was absolutely delicious. The roast was perfectly cooked, with tender meat and all the trimmings you could ask for. The portion size was generous, and everything on the plate was full of flavour.

The inn itself has a warm and inviting atmosphere, making it a great place to enjoy a meal with family or friends. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring that we had everything we needed throughout our visit. It’s clear that they take pride in offering good food and great service.

If you’re in the area and looking for a hearty meal, I would highly recommend stopping by the Highwayman Inn. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, you won’t be disappointed. I’m already looking forward to...

We stayed at York Meadows Campsite in our campervan and had a walk ( about a mile) to this fanatstic pub. Unfortunately there was no food on at the time due to staff holidays so can not comment on the food but looking at reviews and talking to the locals in the pub it is very good indeed. The locals are very friendly and we were made very welcome and had a lovely afternoon and early evening chatting with everyone, and also people staying in the campsite who called in as well, alovely pub, highly recommend, looking forward to coming back and trying the food. They are dog friendly and our Tyler enjoyed all the attention she was getting and loved...
