Here is just a little info to let you get to know us better...
Here is little potted history of our pub and the local area... if you have a spare minute or two and maybe a cup of tea (or is that a G&T), we think it's well worth read.
If youd like to put a name to a face, allow us to introduce you to the crew...
Manager
Charlotte is our General Manager, since joining in the summer of 2025 she has quickly become the heartbeat of the Highdown! You can find Charlotte pouring pints, welcoming all customers (and their dogs of course), and most importantly bringing the community together by hosting our monthly dog walk with her two sidekick golden retrievers Buddy and Ace! If you can't find Charlotte listen out for her legendary laugh ringing our from behind the bar and you'll find her in no time.
Senior Deputy Manager
This one is madder than a box of frogs. Having worked in pubs for most of her life, she has recently joined the B&P crew and taken it in her stride. Cheeky and cheerful on the outside, it's her crazy cackle that you can hear throughout the downs that you need to watch out for!
Deputy Manager
Jesse is our Deputy Manager, the mastermind behind everything bar related! Whether he's crafting the perfect cocktail or keeping the cellar fully stocked and spotless, he handles it all with precision. When he's not behind the bar, you'll find Jesse all over the pub, running food, clearing tables and jumping in wherever needed. If there's a problem at hand, he will have the solution.

This girl has got to be the biggest ray of sunshine we have! Always with a smile on her face, Ellen is one of our Tea Room girls and helps run the place on the weekend. She can do any section and does it with a grin. Hash browns for breakfast and mash with gravy for dinner - she's our kind of gal!
