Halfway Hotel

Reviews

1. A Thomas ★★★★★

   We visited on Meat Free Monday (1st December), arriving in the pouring rain, and were immediately greeted with a warm smile and a cosy fire - the perfect welcome. We ordered the vegetable lasagne (both the vegetarian and vegan options) with chunky chips, and everything was delicious and such good value. The team were genuinely lovely, attentive without being intrusive, and made us feel right at home. It’s wonderfully dog-friendly too - they came straight over with a bowl of water for our girl, which we really appreciated. A great experience from start to finish, and we’ll definitely be back.

   We organised a skittles match in the Halfway and decided to have supper as well. During the organisation the staff were most helpful and on the night the same and couldn't do enough for us. The food was amazing - served right on time, a wonderful selection across a huge range of tastes. It was tasty, fresh and beautifully prepared. It made me plan to go to the Halfway for a proper meal. The bar service was also very good, as was the collection from the skittles room itself.

   The pub was busy and that’s fine but the food took a while, when the starter came (nacho’s) it looked like a kids portion. The waiter that brought it over saw the look on my face and asked if it was ok, I politely asked where’s the rest of it? Not long after a female bar staff came over and said us everything ok and I said the same thing again, she said bare with my I’ll ask the manager if we can add more. She came back and explained the manager refused and said we’ll refund. I found this odd, what’s better for the business a few extra nachos n cheese or refund the cost of the starter? Strange decision, anyway I thanked her for the refund. I was dreading the main at this point to be honest. The kids chicken nuggets came out, god knows what chicken nuggets were used but they looked like a very very cheap quality. The beans looked white and my 8 yr old didn’t looo impressed, she eat the food though as she was so hungry. Now my main, I did want half and half but was told it was £2.00 extra, strange to charge extra for the same amount of food but split it between chips and rice? Ok, they don’t do this at most curry houses but ok. I declined. So my curry, I initially thought there was a lot of curry to discover it was rice all underneath so wasn’t as much as it looked, ok not the end of the world but I’m starving at this point. The curry, well it was tasteless, didn’t seem like there was any kind of seasoning it even a grain garam/ masala/spices any kind of Indian seasoning it was bland besides the taste of tomato. A manager (I think) came over and asked me how it was, I explained it was pretty tasteless and rather underwhelming. She was apooogetic in all fairness and offered to get me an alternative. I declined as it was nearing 5pm and I have to get my daughter back to my ex partner at 6, so wouldn’t have the time to wait again. Quite disappointing and ruined our little dinner date, my daughter who’s only 8 was seemingly sad that dad didn’t have food with her. Anyhow, I just said I just wanna send the food back to be honest the manager said that’s ok and took it. 10 minutes went by, nobody came back about a refund etc, now it’s edging towards 5.20 and I’ve gotta get my daughter home by 6pm. The manager finally came over with a refund receipt and 2 wafer biscuits, a nice little touch. But overall, the food was awful and the service was as slow, staff were polite enough but overall for my first eating experience there it was pretty poor and obviously my daughter being a little upset and disappointed just amplified the situation. I very much doubt I’d ever return for food ever again, I’d be inclined to warn family and friends about it but wouldn’t particularly want to go out of my way to do so.

   Dropped in today with the Wife, son and dog, and was once again immediately made to feel welcome. Unfortunately they had tun out of roast dinners, much to the wifes dismay, however the landlady has said that she will be producing twice as many from next Sunday. In any case both myself and the wife had a curry, and my son had Ham Egg and Chips, all were tasty, and really reasonably priced, I highly recommend this place if you fancy some excellent pub food.

   Lovely, fresh public house. Friendly and attentive staff. A wide range of beverages catering for all. There's regular live entertainment and a skittle alley open on Tuesdays. Our group had a fantastic evening and it wasn't overcrowded. We never tried the food, but it looked to a high standard from what I saw others enjoying. Highly recommended.
