super pub.super food.super staff..really enjoy the hospitality.
We’ve just enjoyed yet another super meal at The Halfway House. Fantastic home- cooked food, warm and friendly service as always. We can not fault this place, and since finding it 6 months ago it’s become our favourite pub. Thank you once again!
We held our Golden Anniversary meal at the HWH on Friday night and I couldn't fault it for one minute. We chose the banquet for 20 people and the food, the service and the atmosphere was second to none. So glad we decided on this rather than a huge, impersonal party. Thank you Peter and Paul and everyone else involved. Great night all round
We had our daughters wedding reception here on the 16th, Ash and all the staff really did us proud. The food and facilities were amazing. We couldn't have wished for a better day and everyone who came said the same. Well done to them.
We had my mums wedding reception here and I would give it more than 5 stars if I could! The food was delicious, the staff were lovely and polite. My children loved the park area while my family and I enjoyed the beer garden in the sunshine, I will definitely be back soon.
We arrived mid-afternoon and were pleased to find that lunch was still being served. There was a great selection of meals available plus chef’s specials.
The atmosphere was very friendly and the pub is dog friendly.
The food was very good, wholesome and tasty.
Our desserts were somewhat delayed which mortified the staff. The wait was worth it though as they were delicious.
If we are ever back in the area we know where to eat.
Thank you for your hospitality.
We are regulars and often Visit for a fillet steak and a pint of real ale. The fillet steak is cooked to perfection and is of high quality. The choice of ale on tap is always great. The home-made cheesecake is scrummy. Highly recommend.
Top place for a few beers! Great ales and friendly all round. Great food as well! The bloke who does the quiz is just the best!
The Halfway House is not exactly our local but its certainly worth the 30 min walk to get there. Called by last night with my wife just for a beer, we love the fact that there is normally 5 hand pulled bitters on usually its Marstons Pedigree, Bass and 3 guest beers. If we are undicided we will have a paddle which consists of 3 one third glasses of the guest beers; its a great way to try them all without getting too drunk.
A spur of the moment decision, we decided to stop and eat in the small restaurant area and we were treated to a great meal with top class service. Highly recommend the black pudding starter and chicken curry.
Peter and Paul have built this village pub into a great business, it does sometimes get very busy but luckily the bar is still a haven for those wishing to just enjoy a pint and meet friends.
The Halfway House has outstanding food and excellent service. My husband and l loved the atmosphere and highly recommend The Halfway House. Will definitely go again.
I have been here once or twice and found them accomodating, my dog oscar the lab is here all the time and insists that I go with him.
I had such an amazing day from start to finish.could not of picked a better venue for our special day,to which every single member of staff gave us one hundred percent of there time.The food was delicious, our guests loved the menu choices,had very good feed back from them.
Evening food was delicious too,I was told best wedding food they have ever had.
I have a friend with food allergies ,and they was very accommodating and also had a choice of food.
We had a fare few children at our wedding so the play area was spot on,and happy parents not being bothered by bored children .
A great big THANK YOU,from myself and my husband to staff and the HALFWAY HOUSE,for making our day truly amazing. X
