Halfway House in Cheshire West and Chester

Didn't have food. Just popped in for a couple of drinks before a party. Was a nice, friendly atmosphere, and I'm told the beer garden is beautiful, but I'm yet to see it as it was raining and cold when we went!

Great pub, amazing, friendly staff. Doesn't serve food but not bothered if u take ur own in. Has gluten free beer

Great open mic night. Talented entertainers and excellent bar service.

Excellent pub with a good selection of real ales and a nice atmosphere.Covered area and garden out the back.

Great friendly pub, really helpful and friendly staff. Customers all welcoming and chatty( but not invasive). Good choice of beers and wines.

This is a great traditional village pub, came with 3 friends and we were all made very welcome. Great atmosphere for a get together and chat and good choice of real ales which change regularly. Will be back again for another session!

Sunday afternoon live music outside. The band called Big Business were absolutely brilliant. The whole place was bouncing. Outside bar for popular drinks and the normal inside bar for cask and guest beers. Recommend the mild. You don't see mild beer being served anywhere these days so it was a real treat to have a choice of two excellent mild beers. Well done Halfway House!

Best pub in the area with great atmosphere

Superb quaint small intimate pub. Lovely inside and outside. Great beer garden and amenities, including outside toilets, converted stable and large grassed area. A sun trap, when it's sunny. Inside is very clean and tidy with an excellent selection of ales, beers and spirits. Well ran, by Chris and the lovely team of staff. Highly recommended! Give this pub a visit soon!

Friendly bar staff, reasonably priced, lovely interior. We went for the open mic night, which is on a Wednesday (every two weeks) the atmosphere was great and many talented artists played a mixture of covers and their own music. Thanks for a lovely night x

We visited this pub on Friday evening , the staff here were very welcoming and looked after us very well. I would defiantly be back to this pub. My family live in Ellesmere Port and have visited previously, but a big shout fir you at the Half Way House

Well I’m back in the area, so I popped in the Halfway House again, post lockdown. I must say they are very well organised here. Sanitiser on hand, high bar screens keeping the staff well protected, order at one part of the bar collect from another part, keeping in line with social distancing, they ask for your details politely and with a smile. You can even order your drinks from the beer garden if you require and they are brought to you. The staff are cleaning regular and everyone including the customers are respectful and keeping with the social distancing. It is the safest pub I have been in up to yet and the ONLY ONE that has asked for details. Very well done to all the staff. I live 80 miles away from here and “Ange” remembered me coming in before. I was amazed and thought how lovely that was, not just a number here, but a valued customer. Definitely will be back, next time we visit relatives. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THE HALFWAY HOUSE. Also the real ale is first class as well, I Had Hinkypunk and Scarecrow, both just over 4%ABV and very tasty.

Traditional welcoming pub. Dog friendly, pleasant welcoming staff, oh, and great beer too!

Traditional 'pub'. No food on sale just an ever changing selection of real ales, fine wines and spirits including all the 'posh gins'. Comfortable surroundings in the bar/lounge area with a lovely beer garden and play field. Landlord and Lady were welcoming and the bar staff really friendly. Dogs are welcome and a supply of treats and water made available to them. The local clientel were friendly and I definately enetred as a customer but left as a friend! The pub has quiz nights and entertainment from 'open mic nights' and occasional bands on Saturdays. Will visit again and again !

Great old school pub really friendly staff and nice customers who make you feel welcome definitely going back

Very friendly and helpful staff and nice premises inside.

New Year Party, good food, music, surrounded by friends, lovely party.

Excellent service, good hearty pub food and huge portions.

Nice friendly pub that we called into after a walk in the area. Not sure why it’s called Halfway House, maybe it’s halfway between Chester and Birkenhead?

Lovely staff, really warm and welcoming atmosphere and great choice of drinks. Can't recommend enough! Worth our 25 minute drive!

It's a superb traditional pub. As they should be...........

Great real ale with lovely staff.

Best staff and beer.management great beer

Friendly staff and nice garden for dogs to run around whilst sitting in the sunshine.

A good evening out. The open mike night was well attended & good quality. The bar could do with some decent brand lagers but was well supported on the real ale. Good night out

This is my 2nd visit to Halfway House and I find it welcoming, friendly and a good local atmosphere. I’m staying at the Premier Inn 5 minutes walk at my slow speed anyway, ten seconds max for Usane Bolt. I have tried another pub around this area last year and found it not friendly to visitors. But I was made very welcome last time I was here, and the staff are friendly this time. Customers are also very friendly, without being in your face. So I don’t understand what some people want from a pub? You can go to a restaurant style pub, with no atmosphere, you can go to a louder pub with ear plugs or you can go here, have a conversation, relax and enjoy a good drink. I know what I prefer. Try it yourself and see what you think.

Open Mic every other Wednesday. Good atmosphere

I was staying in the Premier inn close to the halfway house I called in here most nights the bar staff are all very friendly and make you feel welcome. they have a quiz night open Mic night entertainment on the odd occasion any night is worth a visit there is always a good crowd in there

Good venue for the open mic every other Wednesday, good range of beers and gins.

good traditional local with good real ale selection

Very good here good service fabulous beer

Fantastic pub. Very warm welcome and free food.

Warm feeling and reasonably priced drinks.

Fine beer great staff and free music.

One of the last traditional pubs in the area. No loud music(except on live music nights), lighting you can see under and real ale on draught. If you want a drink and a bit of banter, then this is the place. Its a proper old fashioned PUB. Great quiz night on a Thursday too.

Nice friendly and traditional pub with lots of history. Drinks well priced.

Crackin' pub! Friendly staff & nice atmosphere!

Visited this pub a couple of times whilst visiting the area recently and was very impressed with the friendliness of the staff & locals in this pub. They helped us call a local taxi company so that we could travel to the nearby Brook Meadow Hotel where we were staying for a couple of nights. I can definitely recommend this pub to anyone passing through the area.

Had a great night at the open mike night great friendly atmosphere

Great pub good beer & a good atmosphere.

Good beer good atmosphere Comfortable and welcoming

Stumbled across this gem of a tradional pub whilst trying several local establishments. The staff were extremely warm and welcoming the selection of beers was sublime. The pub has been recently refurbished with a great beer garden I highly recommend you pay a visit the manageress spoke to us several times making sure everything ok this will be our new local happy days

Warm friendly bar staff and locals

As they don't do food I can't understand that previous review either. The emphasis at this pub is quality beer and conversation. There are TVs but not too loud. It used to be a Marstons pub but now free to choose what they want so some very nice beers can be found from micros mainly from the north west of the region though Marstons/Thwaites beers are sometimes still on. Nice large garden,friendly staff.

Cash only Boozer!! Needs to move with the times

Great little pub friendly staff and fab beer

Firstly no idea on the reviews complaining about food. The Halfway House is a proper pub and has never done hot food in my years of patronage. Often you’ll find sandwiches on the bar provide for all customers free of charge though. Traditional. Good casks. Dog friendly. Period toilets. Huge beer garden out back. Friendly staff.

great pint of bitter nice frendliy pub
