The Highwayman

In the shadow of Sheriff Hutton castle, a listed olde-worlde inn is ready to welcome weary travellers and hungry diners. Warm your toes by the glowing coal fires in winter and relax in a comfortable, rustic interior, in the knowledge that this is probably how Richard III spent his time at the pub hundreds of years ago. And no doubt he would be licking his lips in delight if he could see the menu today. Steaks aplenty - from an 8oz sirloin to a 16oz T-bone - mixed grills, Gressingham duck and lamb shank are just a snippet of the wide variety of home-cooked treats available. Lunchtime snacks, starters, salads, pasta, pies and vegetarian and gluten-free dishes can all be found here, lovingly prepared from locally sourced ingredients. The Highwayman is a true historical retreat, just a ten-minute drive from York.
