    The Highlander is a great pub featuring some fantastic traditional bands and have a good assortment of food and drinks. The sad thing about the Saturday evening we went was a group of people felt it was ok to bully myself and my wife off our table so as they could take over the space. This seems to be ok these days. Whilst this is not the fault of The Highlander, there was little we could do about it. It didn’t spoil a great trip to partake in the NC500, but we would think twice about spending time and money in there going forward.

    Booked a standard table prior to arriving, server tried to put us on a high table despite requesting standard seating having emailed prior to request. Server was rude as a result. Meal was terrible, macaroni tasteless. Bar staff very good and great atmosphere to the place. Shame about the food.
