Hotel details

The Highbury Barn dates back to before the 18th century. In 1899 it was sold for £92, 5 shillings and 5 pence. This included the pub, brewery, one gallon of rum, three-quarters of a case of minerals and half a cake. The original 'Bill of Sale' can be seen in the lounge bar. By the early 1970's the pub was extended into what you see today. There is rumoured to have once been a secret tunnel from the cellar through to the Abbas Hall area of Cornard, once belonging to the Convent of the Blessed Virgin and used by monks to gain entrance to the pub. This area of Gt Cornard, once known as the Manor of Cornard Magna was even mentioned as in the Doomsday Book. To the rear of the property there is a large garden with a small play area for children.

Food & Beverages

Jason, owner and chef, has recently taken over the running of the pub and has refurbished throughout. He has an excellent reputation locally for food and has worked at many prestigious venues in the area, gaining AA rosettes for a number of previous restaurants that he has worked in. The restaurant can seat approximately 65 people for a formal sit-down dinner or every day dining, and up to 150 for a carved buffet or function. There is a patio area in the garden suitable for al fresco dining. Breakfast is served Monday to Friday from 07:30-09:30 and Saturday to Sunday from 08:30-10:00.
