    The pub was much cleaner and better presented since our last visit a few years ago. The food was underwhelming, the pie appeared to have been overcooked in an air fryer as it was like opening a brick with a knife and fork. The veg was instant mash and frozen peas. A good chef would benefit this pub enormously.

    Always amazing food and great, friendly service at the Halfway House! (Even when members of staff have to deal with unpleasant customers just because the lettuce leaf wasn't the right one for them....) Food portions are always more than enough and great value for money! Never any issues with this place! Look forward to returning again very soon!

    We had a super Sunday lunch. Great portion sizes (just right) with a delicious selection of vegetables. Of course, plenty of gravy too! The team were well-supervised, efficient and friendly. Food & drinks arrived promptly. We will definitely return. This time we will bring some cash for a tip too! Thank you to the team at Halfway House.

    Food was enjoyed by all 3 of us but there could be alot more meet free options available. Things don't have to be vegan or vegetarian as alot of people just don't eat meat, vegetable lasagne, pasta's or pizzas are simple enough, would visit regularly if more of these options were available.

    Lovely meal and great value. Asked for an extra item which was no bother at all but I wish they would ask if you want pepper on your egg as I had to send it back as I can’t eat pepper. Would recommend.

    As always the food was outstanding, the service was excellent and the atmosphere was fantastic. The Roast beef was perfection. Wish this place had a larger function room, would definitely book it for family functions or even our wedding reception next year. This place never disappoints and the staff are always so accommodating.
