    Our first visit in a long time. Sadly under various managements, they have been more miss than hit over many years. But under new management again, and we have heard good things. First impressions on walking through the door was “well this is an improvement”. Although the layout isn’t any great change, it just feels more loved and welcoming. Good to see several people there. One of the reasons for choosing the Halfway was the menu, having a teen for company I wanted them to have options that would appeal. They opted for the cheese and bacon double burger, and I for the steak and ale pie. Have to say we were both really impressed. My heart sank a little when I saw calabrese as the veg, but no it wasn’t mush, it was cooked to perfection. So our thoughts on the Halfway have changed for the better, and would definitely go back.

    Good food, great value. We were offered a table right by the bar, but our request for a window table was dealt with efficiently and with a smile. First visit to the Halfway House but will definitely visit again. Food and drink orders promptly taken by friendly staff. Really pleasant experience.
