Welcome to the Highlander Taphouse.

After more than 15 years building one of the Quay’s favourite bars, Cliff and the team are back! Bringing his passion for great hospitality to a brand-new home. Named after the historic Highlander Hotel that once stood here, we’re creating a proper neighbourhood bar where everyone feels welcome.

Whether you knew of the original Highlander, remember the old Quay Taphouse, or you’re discovering us for the first time…

Pull up a chair. The next chapter on the Fish Quay is here.

“The staff were super friendly and looked after us really well. This place has loads of potential and I’m sure it’s going to be a real gem.

Our local is The Spread Eagle, which is amazing and as they’ve taken over this place too, I’ve got high hopes! I’m sure they’ll work their magic here as well. Definitely worth a visit, we’ll be back!”

“A wedding party of 16 (and then some!) at quite short notice. They were super helpful and communication was fab. We turned up on the day to be met with tables reserved for us all and a complimentary bottle of fizz. The staff were incredibly accommodating, friendly and attentive. The service was fantastic, the food was also outstanding. Would I recommend the Highlander, 100%. Thank you again Cliff and your fab team.”
