Halfway House in Wealden - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We had tapas. The dishes were greasy and overcooked for the extent of almost being in edible. no apology offered when we pointed this out

Had a fantastic Sunday lunch today in the expansive beer garden. A quality pint of Harveys Sussex Best is always a lure for me. Roast beef was the choice and boy, oh boy, did it deliver. The beef, a glorious sirloin, slices cut thickly, was cooked perfectly, full of flavour and tender too. The accompanying roasted vegetables comprised of.. roast potatoes, roast kumara, roast parsnip. All were crunchy on the outside yet fluffy in the middle. Perfect with the giant Yorkshire pudding. The seasonal vegetables were.. Carrots, cabbage, broccoli, mashed swede, cauliflower cheese and cheesy leeks. Oh, the gravy which was rich, dark are very flavourful. A real treat. The lunch was an absolute hit. Sadly today I could not fit in one of the many delicious classic Sunday lunch desserts sadly. Would I go again? Absolutely 100%

What a beautiful place, the staff were friendly and traditional interior pub. The food. Wow. We went for burger night 2 for 25 absolutely amazing, homemade patties was delicious, I think he made the burger sauce himself too, had cut chips and lots of them. The garden is peaceful and surrounded by fields and flowers. Highly recommend this place!!!

We have our Triumph car club meetings here and we are made to feel very welcome and the food is very good

We have had a couple of really lovely dinners here recently. Delicious pub dishes with twist. And lovely homemade desserts too. Well worth a visit and would highly recommend.

fantastic afteroon with the family chris niki will phil great weather in the garden awesome tapas love the cienothis bush thank you mel zoe and chef

Massive improvement in food quality and variety! New chef? Sunday roasts an absolute must!

Amazing experience today! Food was so much better than last time we were here a couple of years ago! Nice relaxed place. Tapas was great!

Having seen some of the reviews after we had booked we weren’t sure what we were going to find today - actually it was fabulous ! Lunch for 4 - starters mains and drinks - starters of moules, halloumi, sussex Smokey and prawns- all were super - mains 2 Sunday roast beef , 1 roast chicken and one large smokie - Didn’t take pics but a great meal with friends at around 40£ a head for 2 courses including drinks ! Definitely will be going back ! Was quite busy so those old reviews can be ignored

Fab roast. Beautiful resident dog 😁 lovely fires highly recommend

Fantastic Sunday Roast served with cauliflower cheese and side dish of seasonal vegetables. By far the best I’ve had locally. A good pint of Harvey’s and friendly staff. Highly recommend. The Chocolate orange cheesecake was also a hit. 10/10

One of the only genuine feelings country puns near Lewes..great food and service..fish and chips brilliant and beef rib soo tender . Loved it

Great Sunday roast dinner, cracking food, good value, plus Harvey's on tap

A lovely pub ,pub with good food 😋

Fantastic pub. Traditional style, plenty of delicious food. Great atmosphere. Would highly recommend

The food was great, wholesome and tasty. Friendly atmosphere, but either they are short staffed or need a bit more training. The service was a little slow. They could have easily got us to order coffee or more drinks if they had asked. The beer was good too.

Use this country pub quite a lot when we are in Sussex mel and the staff always very friendly

Lovely country pub with Great food and Beer... Mel and the team are very welcoming and friendly.

Some of the best pub food in a long while was eaten here by my group. We were there early and our beer was not of the best, but secondary drinks were better. A minor issue. The pie was rated the best at pub ever.

Friendly and welcoming. Great service. Looking forward to returning to try the food

A proper English country pub. The staff were all lovely and welcoming. We had lunch and the regular and specials board are extensive. What we had was substantial and cooked very well. Excellent value for money. The pub itself is a traditional beamed property inside but also has a lovely large garden and car park. We highly recommend this pub and look forward to visiting again.

Excellent curry. Unfortunately the "fishmonger" had failed to deliver! We shall have to return when he's landed his catch!

First time visiting here, even tho it's just down the road! Lovely pub, very pretty courtyard area in the sunshine. Much bigger on the inside than it looks from the road. All staff were friendly & welcoming, particularly the cute doggo behind the counter! The food was delicious, great Sunday roast and the cherry cheesecake was to die for! Will definitely be going back!

Located on the A26 between lewes, and Uckfield. It is a very popular pub/restaurant with the locals, and visitors alike. The staff are Friendly, and efficient in this charming English country pub. It has an extesive menue, with daily specials on the blackboard. The food served is of the highist quality.

Without question, and consistently, the best delivered Sunday roast in this part of Sussex ! Delicious boned and rolled Lamb Shoulder, really excellent home made gravy (so hard to get these days), great roast potatoes, parsnip, carrots, cauliflower cheese, leeks, brocoli, red cabbage and a cracking Yorkshire pudding all beautifully cooked and served by a friendly and happy team. Add in some of the best kept Harvey's in Sussex, and all at a sensible price, you won't go wrong here. 10/10 and highly recommended, but do book (especially if you want the Lamb!) as there is good reason as to why its so popular !!

We came here to try something new and where we have been before. The halfway house was Good and was too busy when we came on Sunday. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The food we had roast lamb was very nice, but there was too (much gravy) they should have put it into a jug and the customer can serve it themselves. That was the downside. The pudding was lovely.

Best Caesar Salad I’ve ever had. Really fresh and gorgeous.

Very dissappointed for a plateful of lettuce few small bits of chicken very small portion of grated cheese and croutons drenched in garlic sauce all for over £16, wouldn't mind if it was worth it but it wasnt, needless to say we will not be visiting again.

Good food and excellent service

Good Guinness. Nice place. Food ok but a bit pricey for what it is.

So travel here based on reviews and website to be told they only serve food on a Monday if the weather is good ( we went on a sunny afternoon). So found nearby pub The Green Man who do serve food on a Monday whatever the weather with great menu and service.

Lovely country pub with great roast dinner

Great pub! Great food! Love it here xxx

First time back for a while, very good food and choice of beers

Lovely pub excellent food very friendly staff had a great family meal in this really nice ole pub highly recommended

Really nice varied menu - popped in for lunch and chose the steak and mushroom sandwich- really lovely fresh bread cut thick the steak strips were delicious but the portion was very small great chips and very good service

Had a lovely roast Turkey dinner last night very well presented and excellent service thank u

Many thanks for an excellent meal for seventeen (plus a baby) of us yesterday lunchtime! Brilliantly coordinated with no fuss or stress: we all had hot, beautifully presented roast lunches at the same time! We very much appreciated the opportunity to celebrate our mother’s (and grandmother) 86th birthday. Very highly recommended.

Absolutely the best chips I have ever had which came with a very nice steak sandwich

Always helpful filling any container I have with Harvey's Best when I am in a mad dash for the ferry !!!

My Dad and I went to the Halfway house for an evening meal. We had been not there for many years. We were impressed by the menu and the specials board. When the food came we were really pleased. The starters were quite substantial and the main courses (we both had chicken kiev) were tasty and nicely presented, with separate dishes for vegetables. The food was good value for money and the pub had a good atmosphere, although it was fairly quiet. The only downside was that the varnished table surface was a bit sticky, and I heard diners at an adjacent table also comment on that. Something like some hot water and vinegar and a synthetic "shammy leather" might deal with that. I look forward to going back again

Six of us ate here a week ago. One vegetarian, and one with lactose and gluten intolerance. Great food, starters, mains and puds. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Some really interesting new dishes on the specials board and as always great value for money. Thanks for a really good time!

There's no doubt that this is a lovely pub and a good place to stop off. The pub inside is lovely. The garden is in a nice spot, but it needs some TLC as it was somewhat neglected. My major reason for scoring only three stars though is the prices: £21 for two pints of shandy and two portions of chips is expensive. But if money is no object to the reader, then I recommend this pub.

Went for an evening meal with friends. Good varied menu, offer of fresh crab salad, fresh fish, home made pie of the day, burgers, along with all the other typical pub grub favourites. Staff were friendly and accommodating. I went for the belly of pork with was served with dauphinois potatoes along with a side dish of vegetables. Lovely sunny garden too 😊

This was our first visit for the four of us and will probably be the last. The crab salad was nice with generous portions of crab. The puddings were poor, however with the spotted dick being quite hard and was clearly overcooked. Our main complaint was the attitude of the staff who were a bit miserable although it was a very hot day! When the waitress was asked if one of our party could have onion free gravy we were told it was not possible. Surely any decent chef could rustle up gravy without onion to go with the roast beef. Another moan was that when the bill came, it just showed a total amount with nothing itemised. When we asked if we could have the bill itemised, the staff seemed to get a bit huffy. An itemised bill should always be a must. It was a shame really, as the main courses were nice but we do like to be made welcome.

Pop in quite often for a lunch snacks good selection Nice garden Mel and staff very friendly love the bird television in the spring

Old style pub with good food, recommend if your in the area

This traditional pub met all our requirements. We went early evening and enjoyed a drink in the sunny garden before moving indoors to eat. There is an open fireplace which would be a bonus in the colder months. The menu was varied, with plenty of choice and there was a specials board as well. The food came quickly and we were very impressed with the quality. It was piping hot and the portions were generous, so good value for money. The staff were attentive and dealt with all our requests efficiently. We would definitely recommend the Halfway House.

Food was good pub food. The dinning ares was very quiet on our Wednesday lunch visit. Good food delivery time. Staff could have been more sociable and friendly.

Friendly staff and good pubs food.

Good local pub, great pint of Harvey's good food, friendly landlord and lady.

Waitress was lovely. This place has changed landlords since we last went,not as welcoming.

Stopped off for an impromptu meal on the way home. Good variety on the menu. I can definitely recommend the ham egg and chip. Friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere.

After not going here for 20 years I finally found myself revisiting and was glad to find that it hadn't changed a bit. A cracking wooden beamed pub.

Friendly staff. Great home cooking. Recommend.

Very clique rural clientel. Food ok but not cheap

We had the roast pork. It was very good. Nice and hot. The staff were very friendly. nice atmosphere . Will be going back again

Really lovely traditional pub, with healthy Sunday roast portions and even a dessert board brought to your table! It's honestly like stepping back in time to the 90s (or earlier!) Don't get many honest, old school pubs with great service, traditional good quality food and a lovely Springer spaniel to greet you at the door. Highly recommend. Also liked the veggie roast option.

Excellent evening spent with Fellow Lions Steak kidney with guiness pie great .Bubble snc squeak with veg lovely, good pub grub

We visited the Halfway House in February 2022. We went there for our evening meal. The menu was very good and the staff lovely, and attentive, but not overpowering. The food was delicious. We were in the area for two nights and the food was so good we went back there the second night. We would definitely recommend the Halfway House.

Clean, very friendly, good location to where I am now living. Yet to try food but menu looks very inviting :-)

Great pub, fantastic pint of Harveys and lovely food. Beer garden is glorious.

My family and I booked in advance for a Sunday roast in December. It wasn't too busy and we were served very quickly. Food was great and enjoyed by everyone. Staff were all very friendly. Food and drinks very reasonably priced. All round great pub atmosphere and worth traveling a bit to go to. Thanks!

Good beef sandwich and cheese ploughman's with lots of Cheddar. Washed down with Harvey's. Great for light lunch. Main menu looked good but only after a snack which was more than I would normally eat at lunchtime.

Now that I have started to be more confident in travelling, East Sussex was on my list to visit and now I'm back home in Cheshire. My friend and I visited the Halfway House,last night,after a full day sightseeing. Oh my goodness!: What a lovely welcome by the young lady for a start.Followed by a quick service,and the most loveliest food I've had for a long time. A standard menu,......... Fresh, beautiful ingredients ..............however what was delivered was obviously cooked by a very confident chef.Good man!!! Please don't change,, ..........your decor into the grey formula every pub seems to be these days,...........and your wonderful conviviality 😃 Especially liked how the hosts spoke to us, they were lovely! Ta very much ,you made two old dears very happy!

Really delicious Sunday lunch, warm and friendly service.

often pop in here for lunch great staff and food and good value with a nice outside area derek jackie

We have visited this lovely, cozy pub with great, well laid out, patio and garden space. Popped in on the off chance yesterday and it was the same high quality, excellent service and very cheerful happy staff, where nothing was too much trouble. Well worth a visit.

Lovely owners friendly staff cozy atmosphere and a fantastic pint of Harvey's the food looked amazing too.

Excellent meal and service with plenty of variety of vegetables

Popped in here yesterday after a long drive home from up north. Pub was fairly busy. I went around the side of the bar by the hatch so I could see what was in the fridge. I waited patiently and was largely preoccupied by their adorable springer spaniel. A lady then came over to help me - a senior looking member of the team (in her 50s). As she did so, she acknowledged a couple on the main face of the bar (who turned up well after me) saying "i'll be with you in a minute". I asked her about what beers they had and wanted help picking something nice and non-alcoholic for my pregnant wife. We VERY briefly talked through options and again, whilst doing so she acknowledged the couple at the bar saying "sorry, I won't be a minute". Now I thought I'd decided on a drink for my wife, but the barmaid said "sorry, I'm a bit confused by what you're after". Rather baffled, I said "a drink and possibly to grab some food - we're sat outside". She abruptly poured the first drink as if id put her out. I went round to the main bar to check the beer pumps and what they had on (not alot) and when I asked she replied "well yes, just Peroni in the fridge and what you see here" - as if it were obvious or that I was being thick. Then for a THIRD time apologised to the couple now stood next to me. It was at this point I'd had enough, so I said "sorry, am I not welcome here or something, should I not be ordering a drink? You don't seem to want to want my custom and you keep apologising to this couple as if they are for some reason more important You are being rude". Now instead of apologising, saying they were extremely busy or explaining perhaps Id been stood in the wrong place she just said "no i wasnt, no i wasn't". So still ZERO effort or ounce of hospitality towards me. My final response was to say "Dont worry about the drink- may I suggest that you get yourself some manners and additional staff". I headed out the door, apologising to those nearby as to show the lady an example of basic etiquette - 2 locals then had the audacity to try and defend her! Such a shame, such a bad experience! I feel i was victimised for being a middle aged male, had my pregnant wife been at the bar i can't imagine them treating her that way. Also I am affiliated with the maintenance of Plashetts Park which is opposite the pub, had said to my partner that it would be nice to meet her and bubba there for dinner / tea on a regular basis once I'd finished duties. I now have zero intention of going or confidence that I'd be welcomed. Very disappointed and disheartened

What can I say about this pub, absolutely beautiful spot. Amazing walks nearby, you'll usually see birds of prey like Buzzards or Red Kites if you sit in the garden. Surrounded by stunning countryside. Best burger I've ever tasted with no exaggeration (southern fried chicken) great curry too. Chef is seriously decent. They do a very good pint of Harveys Best to top it off. Mine and my wife's favourite pub in the country.

Great location, well priced pints but the staff were disinterested to the point of being rude. Wouldn't bother returning, not when there is the options of going to the nearby Laughing Fish or Anchor Inn

Perfect Friday evening. We had great food and great beer in a great garden. Myself, wife, kids and friends all enjoyed ourselves.

It had been a while since we have been to the Halfway House but today we ordered a take away roast . All I can say is wow it was scrumptious big helpings very tasty and good value will look forward to when we can visit again

First take away visit to the Halfway House and would highly recommend. When collecting I was greeted and made to feel welcome. The roast dinners were very well cooked; tasty, plentiful and offer a good choice of meats and vegetables. Good choice of desserts and I thoroughly enjoyed the Banoffee pie. Excellent value for money.

The best Roast Turkey dinner I’ve eaten in a pub - ever! Always a friendly welcome. Several visits over the last year and can’t fault any of them.

Landlady is very rude and abusive would not recommend

First class beer and food. Friendly service and large garden.

Great atmosphere, excellent food, good service, beer excellent quality. Good price.

Good pub food and great setting

Always friendly and food delicious 😁

Excellent food was very good, fish pie followed by strawberry trifle, lovely.

A house that is halfway built. They've constructed the left had side of it, just waiting on the right side to be completed now.

We ate here on Saturday night and were very pleased with our meals. Food was well presented and tasted delicious. Hubby had the steak which looked amazing, and I had the bacon & onion pudding which was gorgeous and very filling. We both had desserts which were equally tasty and well presented. Staff were friendly and attentive and practised social distancing. All in all a great experience- we’ll be coming back soon.

Visited twice now for Sunday Riast, and all the food was good Apart from the roast potatoes being hard to cut and chew.

Roxy is extremely welcoming and friendly. (The people are lovely too!) Fabulous food - a lasagna and roast chicken - both superb. Will be returning.

Lovely, relaxed evening in their pretty garden. Enjoyed a delicious meal in such a nice setting. Will definitely go back again soon

Friendly and providing take away food during the COVID-19 restrictions

we went there on our way home from work . the staff were very friendly. lovely pub . we had ham egg and chips with peas . nice size plate will be going back again.

Booked for Sunday lunch to meet friends. Four adults and four children. Service was fast and efficient and the food order was correct even with the extra requests we made. I had roast beef and really enjoyed the meal. Huge Yorkshire pudding, lovely gravy and nice tender beef with offers of extra veggies if needed.We will be back.

Good comfortable pub, great soup.

Lovely place, friendly, great food!

Have not been in for a long time as I live across the pond but it was so good to be back in a real English pub/restaurant.

Great beers, people and atmosphere

Can’t beat a pint of Harvey’s ale, especially from a local pub close to the brewery

We booked up for an evening for 4. We find it such a homely pub. People are always welcome. Dogs are allowed which is lovely.I had the turkey Christmas dinner which was really good with fresh vegetables. The prawn cocktail was not the usual lettuce stuffed into a glass with a few prawns and mayonnaise with ketchup. It was so nice to see something different. Locals go there frequently to have an evening drink but again they don’t stare and it all goes quiet when someone walks in whom they might not recognise which nowadays is refreshing. In other words it’s not a clicky pub. Everyone is made welcome. Plenty of car park space. There is a garden and in the summer they make it look lovely with all the hanging baskets. Well worth visiting.

Lovely pub and friendly staff and customers
