About Us

Here is just a little info to let you get to know us better...

History

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 you'd like to put a name to a face, allow us to introduce you to the crew...

Aimee

Manager

Aimee studied Costume at uni going on to work on shows such as The Lion King and The Olympics. After a few years she was lured away to pub life, swapping fixing costumes for pulling pints. Aimee joined B&P in 2015 starting out behind the bar and quickly realised being part of the Brunning and Price family was where she wanted to be. A keen hiker in her spare time, she loves nothing more than being outdoors, climbing mountains but always finishing with a nice glass of wine in a good pub. It sounds like her change in career path was a perfect fit.

Adam

Deputy Manager

Adam joined us at the Highwayman in September 23 and we couldn't be happier to have him here. From just up the road in Kendal, Adam joined us from the glamorous world of hotels having previous worked at Castle Green and Lakeside Hotel. He is our bar/cellar guru and finds all the exciting products that come to the bar and brings a great passion for all things beer. A keen lover of all things fancy dress, Adam loves any reason to throw on a hilarious costume at our events! In his spare time he loves nothing more than a delicious crisp lager in the sunshine with family and friends .

Sinead

Supervisor

Sinead is an absolute trooper and is also a local girl who's 'born and bred' in the area. A horse and general animal fanatic, if you need any interesting facts on the like, she's your go to girl! An ever present you're almost guaranteed to see this 'lunchtime legend' if you pop in from a nice brisk walk.

Kitchen

Richard

Head Chef

A Staffordshire chap and confirmed family man with two lovely children, Richard got a feel for the local pub culture by running a kitchen or two before doing his graft at Piccolinos in Manchester... a scoop for us then. A bit of a Gun's n Roses nut with an appetite 'for food' rather than for 'destruction'. A keen Mountain climber Rich has completed more UK Mountains than we could count and knows the fells like the back of his hands. He loves collecting trainers and partial to a rum or two when relaxing away from his busy kitchen.

Lee

Senior Sous Chef

Having spent many years working at top restaurants in Edinburgh, Lee first came to us here at the Highwayman back in 2019 when he was an agency chef and immediately became part of the pub family. A couple of years later Lee joined the team officially and we can't imagine our kitchen team without him. Outside work Lee's passions are music, football and space and will happily chat to you for hours about the three over a pint of Peroni at the bar.
