Halfway House in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Popped in on the way home from Looe to our hotel. They were fully booked but still found a space for us which was very kind of them. The food was top notch and good value, I should know, I'm from Yorkshire! The staff were smashing, friendly, patient and very helpful. The decor was lovely and the music was ambient and not intrusive. It deseres 6/5 stars 🌟

We both had a roast, it was sooo nice, the staff was lovely and attentive. Food was hot and well cooked, couldn't have asked for better. Thank you will be back again.

Staff were friendly, place is nice, but I am not impressed with paying restaurant prices for bought in warmed up food...

Went there for a Sunday roast. Best roast ever!!. Will definitely go there again.

Great sundaes and speedy service

Such a neat and friendly bub. We did not eat but the drinks were cold. Just such a nice place in the middle of Cornwell

Great food every visit, piping hot & very tasty. Good menu & specials choice & good range of vegetarian choices Good value for money. Never yet managed dessert as too full from main course. Going to try starter & dessert next time as they both look very tasty.

We are on Holiday and totally found this restaurant by chance. The service was amazing. I had chilli, I love chilli, but when eating out it is sometimes tasteless, sometimes to spicy. But this was the best chilli I have ever eaten. My daughter had Hunters Chicken and she wants to come back again to have it again. Also I recommend the Stawberry and Lime Cornish Ratler cider. We hope to be back this week. Thank you for making the end of our first day so enjoyable.

Really good value home cooked food. Great service

Stopped off for food on Are way back from St Ives Lovely food staff very friendly . My daughter was not well so they offered to wrap her food up so she could take it home ,which was very good of them .Nothing was to much trouble. Was are first time there but will definitely go back again .give them 5 STARS

Excellent food thoroughly enjoyed

Staff were pleasant enough. Food was mediocre at best, soggy chips and soggy batter on the fish which was pretty tasteless, peas were a mixture of fresh with earlier lunch ones added in for good measure. Toilets were something else altogether 🤢🤢🤢 the stench as you walk through to the ladies toilet was absolutely revolting! A mixture of mould (which was evident on the pipework in the toilets) and backed up sewage. If we had gone to the toilet before ordering food we wouldn't have stayed. The fact we were hungry and husband is diabetic and needed to eat was the only reason we ordered. We certainly wouldn't have had the food if we had been more aware of the facilities.

It was one of the best meal i have had for many years being an ex chef i am hard to please but this was exceptional i had ham eggs chips an garnish Paula had fish and chips peas home made tar tar sauce my ham was home made service brilliant we are going every month also had a fantastic desert for 20 pounds per head that included 2 halfs of larger

Staff were lovely, food was dreadful. Had to send my main course back as cold, was offered a different choice, which I accepted, this was tasteless, chicken korma and couldn’t eat! My husband had the fish which was over cooked. Expensive meal out for food which we struggled to eat.

Awesome environment and quiet got a pub within it.. lovely with plenty delicacies to choose from

Always great food, polite staff and traditional cornish pub

Just popped in for an evening meal which was realy good food and plentiful.i thought I left my phone and purse at a holiday camp we came from but it was under the car seat.staff we very helpful for trying to get hold of the camp site .thank you 5 star service.no wander most of the tables were reserved..highly recommend you.thanks again

Beutiful meal great staff highly recommend

After passing several times I took the opportunity and called in the other day. A friendly welcome from the bar manager who explained they were fully booked for the evening so I’d advise booking in advance. I asked if we were ok to sit outside and he was more than happy for us to do so. The food was cooked to order and was great quality, the garlic bread with the lasagne wasn’t the best but other than that it was perfection. A special mention to the bar manager who went above and beyond and made our visit very pleasant.

First time eating at the halfway house. I had chilli, my husband had fish pie and fresh veg that were cooked to perfection. Staff were polite. Highly recommended

If you want fresh food, perfectly cooked, in a lovely setting, then go to Halfway House. The food is to die for, and the portions really are generous. The homemade chicken and bacon pie is delicious and the accompanying chips are some of the best restaurant chips I've ever tasted. Highly recommend.

We arrived as they opened on a Saturday and thankfully they had a table available! Every table was reserved. We had some eggs and chips for our girls, burgers for the adults. It was good food for good price, the girls were happy. It’s not the most amazing place we’ve visited but the prices are fair, food is good and the staff are so lovely. So we’re happy.

No empathy trying to organise a wake. Poor attitude, dietary requirements posed a problem to them, wouldn't even change oil to accommodate gf chips as only change oil every 3 days! Decided to go elsewhere.

Great hosts and very accommodating. food freshly made and all home cooked dishes. fish pie was full and tasty, fish and chips massive portion, kids meals as usual kids meals!! desserts were lovely. all quick to arrive and would recommend to others.

Had lunch with a friend last Friday and I am gluten free. I had the chicken breast topped with BBQ sauce, bacon and cheese with salad and boiled potatoes or I could have had a jacket potato. The chips were not suitable as done with other gluten things but I preferred the boiled potatoes as they were delicious.

Really good food and service at reasonable prices. Couldn't fault it.

Food very good, staff friendly 😋

We ate here on a Saturday evening with our two young children and a friend. We had burger, scampi, korma and a kid's ham, egg and chips. The food was above average apart from the chips, which were dark and soggy. We had a brownie sundae and crumble. The crumble was big and above average. The sundae was OK, but nothing special. The staff were friendly and suggested an extra plate and spoon for our youngest who was sharing our meals. Unfortunately the high chair was quite dirty. We would happily eat here again though.

Lovely staff and interior, but disappointing food - especially for the price. Ate with another diner who also had a very bland meal. Service is great, so I hope the owner will improve the quality of the food/ingredients as we would give it another chance in that case.

Nice waitressing and the food was. But it's quite dark inside and could do the being modernized.

A warm welcome greeted us by the staff. The menu and special board were inviting and gave a good variety for all tastes. The manager was friendly and entertaining and our food was delivered in a timely manner. Good portions, well cooked and presented. It was a very enjoyable visit and we all felt well looked after.

A++. We stopped off after our day out and were really impressed with the staff and definitely the food which was homemade and the chips were so nice. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and will be coming back soon

Great portion sizes, okay food, good prices, lovely atmosphere and staff. Can't complain! 😊

What a lovely place. Really enjoyed our meal. Generous portions, tasty food and great service. Definitely worth a visit!

Me and my family always go to Halfway House the food is delicious service great I've got nothing bad to say prices are fantastic also absolutely brilliant service all around and me personally and my family I would definitely recommend it and say with my family if you're looking for a good honest restaurant that sells good honest food and does nice drink then definitely go to the Halfway House Bodmin fantastic service fantastic place to dine. Compliments to chef and the staff that's serve and do a wonderful job.

Very disappointed with the food, the chips were limp and not crispy and lack of BBQ sauce and only half a chicken breast when it stated breast on menu which indicates it should have been a whole breast. service was good

Went in for snack lunch so had kids Sausage, chips & Peas ( nearly £8!): chips were soggy/ limp, Peas not cooked & Sausages very average!! The excuse given for the appalling chips was ' we've been having trouble with the Potatoes '!! I would suggest that you try cooking them properly, ditto Peas... I worked in the hospitality industry for many years & wouldn't dream of serving this rubbish to my customers!! Won't be back: no refund, just excuses...

Lovely food, it's always good here! The pub is cosy and has a good atmosphere. Super friendly staff and reasonable prices.

Very nice pub restaurant on the busy A38. Lots of parking and good access too. Very good menu with the option of a daily specials board. Good food and brilliant service. Highly recommended. Beware it can get very busy at weekends and holiday periods.

Excellent service, good food and fair prices. Enjoyed very much, thanks all involved

So friendly, lovely atmosphere,

We were very impressed by the good food and great customer service

I am very sad to write this, but after a few minutes of eating fish & chips a member of my family started to feel weird and two hours later thrown up. He ended up with 6 hours of vicious diarhea and vomiting. The rest of us had something else. Sadly, two days later another member who was cleaning up got ill too. I wish I have never entered this place. We are NEVER ill!

Delicious food, very attentive and friendly staff. Non alcoholic drinks available. Will definitely visit again

Great Food, cosy and great atmosphere friendly staff highly recommended

Always good food, great service from friendly staff good prices too

Amazing food and great portions. Really enjoyed our meal here. Will be coming again.

Have always driven past but decided today was the day to try this place out. Have to say pleasantly surprised. Lots of room inside although seating and decor are a bit cheap looking and the menu is a piece of laminated A4. However the food and service cannot be faulted. Very friendly, welcoming staff and deliciously meaty cottage pie and vegetables plus another generous sized lasagne with beautifully colourful and tasty side salad. Well worth stopping for.

What a gem. We stopped off for dinner on the way home from a day in St Ives and so glad we did. We received a very warm welcome and were shown to our table. The gentleman that served us was helpful and friendly. We were served quickly. Two of us had Bubble and Squeak and one had fish pie. Food came and it was piping hot and absolutely delicious, we all cleared our plates. I will definitely return and can highly recommend a visit.

Amazing food to my partner there for his 60th birthday on Sunday

Good service with decent food .👍👍

Tasty Roast dinner, lovely service and Staff, food was yummy , will return, Warm friendly, didn’t book but they found us a table 🥰

This is a Great place, staff were lovely and meals were amazing. Highly recommended. Will definitely be going again soon .

Lovely place , great welcoming staff. Food was amazing.

Drove past and it looked nice from the road, so stopped to have lunch on our way to south Cornwall. Decor is dated and it feels abit like an old people’s diner. The food was ‘ok’ - but expensive for what it was. Very quiet for a Saturday lunchtime, so no atmosphere whatsoever. Wouldn’t come back.

We met , ironically half way between both couples (Truro and Plymouth) We had 2 chicken with sweet chili sauce , I steak and 1 ham and chips Service was spot on Food delicious Will definitely be visiting again

Excellent service and our meals were delicious 😋

Had sunday lunch today the staff were all great very polite nothing was to much trouble. The food was amazing roast beef roast turkey & chicken & bacon pie all fresh vegetables hot & tasty. Definitely return soon.

Had a nice meal on a rainy Sunday. Food was lovely and lots of it. Nice staff too. Recommended

Couldn’t fault the service. Friendly, checked for any allergies, food and drink were brought out quickly and we weren’t bothered except to ask if we needed anything. The quality of the food didn’t live up to the price unfortunately. The roast potatoes were completely soft, no crispiness or colour at all. The beef was incredibly hard to chew even though it had been sliced wafer thin. I thought maybe this was an unlucky joint of meat but from the other reviews, it seems to be a common problem. The boiled vegetables were a bit bland but apart from the very hard cabbage, not too bad. On the plus side the Yorkshire pudding was perfect! We didn’t have a dessert, £7.50 seemed steep for a brownie! This wasn’t the reason though, we genuinely were full as the portion sizes were generous. The food also came out piping hot so no complaints there. With a few tweaks, some seasoning and better meat this place could be great.

Food took a while to come but boy was it worth the wait! It's honestly the best gammon steak I've ever tasted and the chips too were lovely. A sny assessment includes everything I can't give it 5 stars. The cost of drinks is quite steep (£3 for a coke is a little ridiculous given we all know it costs less than £1 to pull the pint). The toilets were also kind of shocking. One was out of use, the baby change was broken, they weren't that clear and they just looked like they'd been left to decay. My partner had even worse issues in the males which only had one stall which had a broken seat. The seats were quite uncomfortable and a little small but this is a minor gripe. Hopefully they'll invest some money in improving these in the future as the venue should reflect the great food offered.

Nice place good service but fish a chips was very poor for the price looked as it was out of a packet.

Not enough choice on the menu food is very bland staff are polite but it's a public house and you shouldn't have to book a table just for a bar meal or drink

Good food. Large portions of tasty food and very pleasant service.

Had an office Xmas meal , staff really attentive and friendly and food was very good , portion size was excellent and very reasonably priced , would recommend

Absolutely lovely. Food was excellent. Highly recommend. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Average overpriced food and microwaved puddings. Filthy toilets still unrepaired for ages. Won't be visiting again.

Expensive pub grub. Overpriced microwaved puddings. Terrible unmaintained toilets. Probably won't give again.

Food cold went back five years later I thought I'd give it a go for my 67th birthday 23-year-old child wouldn't give his name no information on our website no information in the pub when I got to my third drink the child informed me I'm not allowed to have no more than three I said I can understand that we're drinkand driving. I live next door and there was other people in the pub who was delegated drivers, but they said this is a policy in the pub which is okay, should tell the customers before they come

Fantastic menu, really friendly staff and humorous. 10 stars from me.

Christmas lunch today was really lovely. Thank you

Always good grub and a friendly smile

A real little gem nestled in the Cornish Countryside. I booked a table for our annual family Christmas meal and was not disappointed. Staff, from my first phone call to book a table to the meal itself were faultless. Staff were friendly and efficient. Unfortunately...

Jane the owner is lovely, and so is the rest of the staff, the food comes out piping hot and lots of it, portion sizes are great..plenty of local beer or ale..Visit aerialdronessolutions on Instagram for more photo's.

Visit family nearby, have been here many years and had forgotten it was there. Great atmosphere, food, local ciders and staff

Superb food, impeccable service, great all round experience. Would highly recommend. The home cooked chips were a welcome surprise from the usual frozen chip option served in pubs. Great steak and smashing deserts too

Good service good meal Can also buy any of the prints on the wall has well

Food was lovely and huge portions, the staff was really friendly and welcoming would definitely recommend hopefully be back soon

Very welcoming, we were quite early arriving but they went out of their way to accommodate us. This is the second visit and we will now probably stop off regularly on the way home to West Cornwall. The food is great, prices reasonable and the...

Friendly pub offering a wide range of decent food

Nice atmosphere and good service. Food was a little on the basic side. We chose ham egg and chips and a very nice chicken pie. Prices reflected the comfort food menu. Still I was very happy to find they had Rattler on tap!

Only had a drink but the staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Average expensive pub grub. Nothing special. Toilets let the place down. You can smell them and they need some deep cleaning and maintenance. Probably won't return to this place.

One of the best Sunday lunches we had out.

Warm welcome from the staff, popped in on the off chance that they had a table for 2 for Sunday roast. They were able to seat uson a reserved table. Lovely roast, meat very tasty spuds cooked to perfection good selection of vegetables. Wife said could of done with a little more stuffing. Highly recommended.

Very welcoming, nice and warm on what was a cold all be it sunny lunchtime. Sunday lunch was fully booked, we just popped in for a drink today. Will definitely be back for a Sunday roast as it looked delicious 😋🤤

Food was absolutely banging, nice waitress and waiter with good spacious table settings, I will definitely be going back and trying some more of the menu.

Lovely pub right on the a38 between liskeard & bodmin, home-cooked pub food, very good choice on the menu and special board. Wheel chair & pram access. Plenty of seating inside & out.

Great food and lovely staff, but a bit odd. Can’t think of another way to describe it! The food was really good, great quality and large portions. My fiancé had the gammon which came with a lovely range of sides. I had the lasagne and...

Fabulous restaurant, lovely food and most importantly a great welcome. Stopped for an early evening meal with my husband, son and Labrador Austin. Staff were extremely friendly and even brought water and a dog treat for Austin. Will definitely be back 👍🏻

Great food great service nice place and clean still great place to eat and meet

Stopped off by chance . Ham egg and chips washed down by a pint. Lovely sound of stream. Staff were very welcoming.

Lovely food and atmosphere very friendly

Lovely food, great atmosphere, wonderful staff. We had a brilliant evening!

Even though I wasn’t that hungry, every thing I had was really tasty and not just that the food was very good, the staff = Very friendly!!!!

Visited recently and it was really good. The staff were very attentive without being overbearing and the food was good.

Delicious food!!! :) Excellent Service!! :)

Visited this pub while staying on holiday in the area of Liskeard a typical country pub on the A38. Menu and specials board was quite varied but the one thing that stood out was the huge portions of food. As well as quantity, the quality...

Met family for a Sunday lunch, good sized portions and lots of fresh vegetables. Excellent service and meals arrived in good time. Sat in the dog friendly bar which was furnished well and smart. Will be returning soon 😀

Great lunch stop after visiting Carnglaze Caverns just 10 minutes away! Brilliant service and tasty food!
