David Adamson sees this forest’s neck appeal, especially locals
If you wash The best places to live Lists, it is likely that you are too late to move there.
Hightown is apparently one such place that has come to the respectable No.29 “Big -Britain in the UK’s Poshiest Villages” list by real estate agents Savills and Lifestyle, The Telegraph.
Every person I have since mentioned, a place where it has never heard of what I think could be just how locals like it.
But if you are Household in the area – Sidecar’s financial advisor, portfolio in their arms and at the center of the coastal areas have stained the horn’s bordered glasses – go straight from Anthony Gormley’s sign Second place, Go to Hightown Train Station and Popta Road for lunch at Hightown Inn.

The story of the building is much like many other pubs that have suffered in the last five years – the cost of hospitality hits its margin on both sides to the point that it has to be closed.
Fortunately, Nord’s GSG Hospitality saw the potential and quickly founded the main chef Daniel Heffy’s Carte Blanche in a modern pubin.
By November it was ready and running. By Christmas Day it was “messy” (director Ashley). By January and on the day of my visit it was as if it had always been there.
It has all the hallmarks of a great land community pub – if you want to eat fish and chips on a table with a 12 -inch record, you can, as you are right – but the dining room shows that this place is definitely that food seriously.
Only three steps, bistro chairs and table fabrics are all you need to separate the premises, but the membrane of the atmosphere and dress code is not passed through. This is still a pub, just very nice.
Beginners attracted me; Beef tartare (£ 15), soup of the day (£ 9) and especially ‘posh shrimp sandwich’ (£ 14). But I made a trip to the net in one thing, so I decided something about what the menus are now euphemistically call “bites”, Scampi jalapeño Aioli (£ 9).
I would say that if they call a bite, there is no way to control the mouthpiece. Four fats, perfect and fresh Scampi tales arrived, definitely the ideal fit in the afternoon a snack over a few pints. The dough was light and not excessive, and Aioli had a yellow tone just made. It could have been a tad pokol, given jalapeño, but it was still wonderful, complementing the dough well. I control three and a half.
The next was the reason for my trip; Pork Schnitzel crisp capers, sardelli butter and jewel salad (£ 21).
This was perfectly baked because any durable Schnitzel should be few. The coating was that the attractive golden brown and pork well seasoned and perfectly cooked, not remotely hard or chewing. The capers were fantastically exploded, but kept their beats. But for me, the Sardelli butter is a winner. I have that block in my fridge for the morning toast. Or should I say that if I had a block of it, I bother to eat breakfast in the morning.
The jalalate salad sauce had lightweight, lemon and excellent. I usually choose vinaigret, but this is better suited. The chef knows best.
In fact, I tried to do something similar to this week the previous week – Chicken Schnitzel lemon with butter – and bollocks it’s good and right. The chicken was not almost smooth, the bread coating was too thick and the sauce distributed more in contact with butter. I should have just waited until I came to Hightown and saved myself for two hours and load washing.

For dessert it was and was supposed to be vanilla crème brûlée (£ 9).
Crisp, creamy and just the right decadent level without going to all Louis XIV, this achieved what you wish for a good dessert to do; Correct the meal through your own merits, leave you full, but not overload and complete with a satisfactory bell that I don’t think it really cannot be improved; A simple joy of beginner, main and dessert. Maybe old -fashioned, but sometimes old habits are the best.
Ashley says the locals have warned him that they will come in the spring and summer Hightown Inn does not know what to hit. I think this team can last comfortably.
