About The Highway

A sprawling Plympton landmark, The Highway pairs generous pub fare and cold pints with an electric, open-air beer garden. Regulars head straight for the leafy courtyard—settling under heaters beneath the big screen while live DJs set the pace. Inside the bistro, the kitchen turns out King Henry pork cutlets with whipped feta alongside crisp fried haloumi and hearty roasts. Round out a long table lunch with a Buffalo Trace Boston Sour or catch the footy over garlic focaccia and chips.

  • Heated Beer Garden & Live DJs: Catch the footy on the massive outdoor screen with live DJs, warming heaters, and cold pints.
  • Relaxed Bistro Fare: Modern pub staples like King Henry pork cutlet with whipped feta and fresh barramundi served by attentive floor staff.
  • Seamless Milestone Events: Dedicated coordination with private bars, dance floors, and custom menus for milestone celebrations.
