Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the steaks and pies, with one describing the steak and chips as really nice and another calling the steaks well cooked, hot and plentiful. The pie of the day, chicken, vegetables and stuffing, was called a proper pie, not just a pastry top, and the steak pie was described as filling and quite tasty. Close behind is the friendly staff, with one noting the dog got fussed over straight away and another saying a table was reserved for a last minute Sunday visit. A guest ale from a local brewery and the salmon also earn praise, and kids' meals come with beans or peas and chips. The criticisms are specific: a prawn starter that lacked the promised chilli, and a chicken, bacon and avo salad with burnt bits and dryness from overcooking. One reviewer in a party of ten found a dish arrived the wrong way and had it replaced about ten minutes later. One group suggests booking first because it was busy. The war memorial in the garden to a Spitfire pilot left one visitor pleasantly surprised.

“A group of us came here tonight, great food and a lovely place too. Will definitely be coming here again. Probably worth booking first as it was busy”

“Visited The Highlands Inn in Uckfield for the first time and it was a really positive experience. Good choice of beer, solid food, and the staff were genuinely welcoming — especially to the dog, who got fussed over straight away. It’s a friendly, easygoing pub with a warm atmosphere, and you feel comfortable the moment you walk in. Definitely somewhere I’ll be returning to.”
- Jennifer Marshall
“Food was delicious. We were not rushed to leave our table after eating. Very clean. Very friendly staff. Inside & outside area very smart. First visit, but it won't be the last. Thank you.”

“Really friendly staff. Felt very welcomed Explained I was coming as a last minute on the Sunday and they reserved me a table for when I got here. I had a steak and chips which was really nice. Would recommend”
