Halfwayhouse Blackpool in Blackpool

Everything was great. The food was lovely, we all really enjoyed what we had. It was quite busy as well.

One of the meals had to go back beans & pie warmish

Still a great pub. Staff are one of the best things about this pub. 🍻 Garlic pizza bread is still amazing, just like the rest of the menu. 🍕

Nice place, food was good, staff could be more helpful explaining the deals

Absolutely delicious and gorgeous decor. Highly recommend. Gary was our server and he was great fun.

Excellent middle of the road pub. Good food, good beer, too many tvs but the sound was acceptable.

Always enjoy in here, stopped in for a pint, lovely beer, nice atmosphere, friendly staff

Very nice food and staff friendly and helpful, polite. We will definitely be going back.

This pub is fantastic, visit everytime im in Blackpool

After hearing good things over the years about this place I had a chicken Tika for nearly 14 pound in there yesterday. I asked the waiter what made it so nice to make it 14 pounds. "Well it's curry in it" was the reply. I took a chance. I tried to order a lager but I've never heard of any of them in my entire alcoholic career. When the curry came all I saw was sause and rice. My rice was cold, and I stook my fork in to it, and was able to lift up the whole portion of rice on one fork. There was so little meat that I nearly sent in Police divers. Oh don't forget the parsley on top...... Hope it was parsley thinking about it. The waiter came over as they do and asked. I said nicely that the curry reminded me of a £2.99 microwave curry from Iceland. Waiter said "would you like to change it, what can I do to make it better. Even though it was good service, I had gone off my food and declined. My partner and my mums cheese burger was excellent apparently. Partner said she would go back for a burger again....but it's a no from me

Mediocre at best!, the staff are very disengaged and couldn't care less!..

Service slow,food a lot short on quantity, something about the atmosphere I just carnt put my finger on . Overall I had and been to better.

We came in on Sunday 15th September for Sunday lunch …. The food was delicious and thoroughly enjoyed …. Our experience was enhanced with the exemplary service of a young man called Gary we watched as he single handedly most of the time was in and out of the kitchen waiting on almost every table …. A pleasant smile and by far the hardest worker in the place …. Well done Gary

We came in on Sunday 15th September 2024. The place was so busy but we managed to find a table that was cleaned by one of the people waiting on straight away. Bar service was quick and the meals arrived perfectly. We had the Sunday roast My purpose of this review is that I spoke to a gentleman and asked if he was manager, he said he was . There was a member a staff there who we asked his name , the manager said he was called Gary. Gary is an absolute credit to you. We sat and silently watch him , in and out with meals , polite , quick on his feet and whilst he was carrying plate after plate out of the kitchen others were slowly one or two out. Sometimes it’s not the amount of staff you have , it just takes a few Gary’s , well done Gary

Great food, lovely for Sunday lunch

Had a lovely night at the halfway house, I’ve never been before, food was great, Gary in particular was amazing, and Megan too, lots of banter and made our night, we will definitely be back! Thank you!

Fabulous staff, friendly, helpful, interactive. Good service. Decent enough food.

Not happy. Ordered a pizza with cheese and walnuts. Brought without walnuts. Should have been informed at ordering. Asked for mushrooms instead and was given breakfast button mushrooms!!!. Should have asked for something else but not in my nature. Disappointed.

Lovely place great food and service , a lovely proper run pub. Definitely worth a visit. Family friendly

Great food very clean medium price

Good food nice selection of house beers

1st time in pub won't be the last lovely staff good beer

Great food pizzas are well trying too only downside today was we waited over an hour and people who came in after us got there food before us🙄

Enjoyed food but quite expensive. Not in a hurry to go back.

Everyone has to check out this place for their pizza 🍕

Food was amazing.. staff are very friendly. Love this place

Outside and inside is amazing, really nice decor. Food was really good! And staff were polite and friendly.

Went for sunday lunch. Food is excellent and service is amazing

Been here so many times and the food never fails. Great food, great service and lovely atmosphere

It's a great bar to go and have a pint with the football. The staff are always incredibly cheerful, especially the crazy glass collector Gary!

Atmosphere was really good. Plenty of space between tables which there is a lot of. Staff were excellent all of them very friendly and so helpful shows they like there job all had smiles on there faces which is rare nowadays. If you want a Sunday roast then that’s the place to go absolutely yummy but you need a good appetite to eat it all. We had a lot of different meals which all came out together and all delicious and hot which a lot of places fail to do. We had a lovely Father’s Day out thank you so much. Most definitely be returning in the future. 👍😂

The staff who tended to our needs were second to none, and the food was excellent, the sticky toffee pudding was massive LOL I will definitely make another visit soon.

Very nice meal,, a little busier than I like but very nice.

Called in for a quick lunch. Had the buttermilk chicken and bacon wrap. It was very nice.

Great vibes. We didn't realise how big the building was! The food looked amazing. Great staff as well.

I love there own lagers in here, they are great taste and value aswell.

As an ale drinker there isn't much variety on offer aside from the Holt in house stuff which isn't much cup of tea. Food is nice though and staff were very good. Parking and beer garden is always nice

I love this place. The service and the ambience is excellent. The menu isn't great (no mixed grill, or fish dish) but the food is good. We go every week, so that says it all.

Poor Staff booked a table over 2 weeks ago and was shoved in a corner no table reserved only for the locals we left and took our money elsewhere!!

We're to start, great decor, food wonderful, Craig was great checking on us and making us laugh and enjoy it more. Listening and answering the quiz questions were a bonus and next time we will be back for the start of the quiz.

We are a family with ages ranging from 10 to 70 and there was something on the menu for everyone. Food was delicious. Service was spot on, swift and courteous. 5 stars all round.

Not having an alcohol free option on the curry night deal is very poor from the brewery Joseph Holt. Not everyone drinks alcohol or pop. Needs to be advertised clearer on the promotional material.

Excellent food and friendly service

It was a very busy Sunday lunch time. The pizza tasted nice but it came out barely warm and my daughter opted for a chicken skewer salad and it had at least two elements of the salad missing. It was rectified very satisfactory and they were extremely apologetic. Service was excellent

Visited with the family and wasn’t disappointed. 😀:Staff were excellent, courteous and helpful. Food was freshly made and good value for money. Small Play area adjacent to restaurant which is ideal for smaller children.

Great staff good food a great selection of booze

Great pub, good food and reasonable prices. Service was brilliant. Friendly staff. Had a table for 5 and from order to food arriving was less than 20 minutes. Try the Pizzas, really nice.

A better and more varied menu than I anticipated by a country mile. This is far more than a pint and a curry. Pretty much catering for every taste. Reasonable service, clean, fresh smelling premises. Miles better than some other pubs in the area. An unexpected pleasure.

Fantastic staff, made my family very very welcome, and the food was excellent and you got lot 10/10 from me.

Food was fantastic an the service was brilliant atmosphere couldnt ask any better

6 of us ate here today for the first time and we all enjoyed the food. The Sunday roasts were fab and portions were very generous. Staff were attentive throughout and helpful. Highly recommend

Met friends here , menu changed a bit loved it defo trying new foods for my palette lol . , service was spot on and quick , . Great place to be

First visit for a birthday party with friends.Great food and excellent service from all the staff.

The service, staff and food were amazing. Lovely atmosphere

Love coming here with friends for a catch up! The food is lovely and the atmosphere is always great. The staff are amazing as well and super friendly and accommodating.

Always busy, reasonable prices decent pub food,great atmosphere, friendly staff

Forever drive past this place and never been in, so popped in for lunch. Our resident sulking teenager didn't find much on the menu, but he's a beige eater, in the end he had garlic bread and chips, and was happy. ( That's a him problem not a them problem) The food was prompt, tasty, fresh and staff very polite and helpful. And we found the place to be comfortable and the decor was tasteful. I think we'll definitely come back x

Fantastic, food was well prepared and served quickly, can't wait to try pizza night

Small bites.. 6 for £30 yummy 😋 and plenty to share between 3 of us.. we added sweet potato fries and a side salad.. tasty filling and well worth the money With a drink each total was £55

Foods not as good as it was the cheese and onion pies now a pastie could of gone to Greggs shame but the pub and staff are fantastic and we go served pretty fast

Fantastic atmosphere, nice fireplace , food really good each time been . Can’t fault it . Can sometimes be loud during football or coming home from work time in bar area but there are quieter areas to go to . Very popular .

Lovely place food was good sat by the fire nice and cosy

Had the beef flat bread. Presentation lovely. Tasted great. Large portion except for the beef. There wasn't much on it.

Great pub nice and cosy in the dark winter months with a good atmosphere. Nice attentive staff and a good range of drinks and food. It's also good that it's not not centrally placed.

Food delicious, service quick, staff friendly and helpful, gets busy fast so booking a table is best. We went 3pm Sunday afternoon and only just managed to get a table

Absolutely fantastic place for everyone very friendly staff and very friendly

Went here on the off chance yesterday for lunch. A good find with good friendly staff, a nice different menu and we'll be back. Worth a visit, curry night looks good.

I like this place but due to medical reasons I can only eat small meals. Why are all your small meals spicy 🌶️ or with chillies etc ? Nothing I can eat here. What happened to a nice meal without over powering stuff in it ? …. Thanks for listening. I’ve improved your rating as a thank you. We like your pub - just want to be able to eat something without spices or chillies etc.

Staff polite, friendly and helpful. Food well presented and tasty. Not first visit an certainly not the last.

Very good pub food for both children and adults. Attentive service.

The wife and myself had the pilates 6 to share the flavours was fantastic and a cheesy garlic bread all food was piping hot complments to all the staff. On way out spoke to the chef and told him how good the food was fabulous.

We have been long term lovers of the half way house for many years. As a family living apart when we came up to visit Blackpool the half-way house was always a go to. This year we moved up and in the last 2 months have visited 3 times. Each time it got worse and worse. From missing sides, to then a cook who couldn’t operate an oven sending out a pie that was stone cold on the inside. Today we tried the kebab hanging skewers… There are 40 year olds living in there mothers basement playing fortnight who have more colour than what we where served. This is a great venue and front of house are epic but there are no longer any chefs in these kitchens! Food prices have gone up and the skills of the back of house have plummeted to the basement to hang out with Bobby playing his fortnight. The future of this pub rests upon there mum to stop letting them coast and give them a kick up the backside to get a grip on life and actually work. It just goes to show how much a change in chefs can take a place from a fantastic establishment to serving over prices gunk that any true chef would be ashamed of. Sadly they now use “Cooks” who would not qualify as a pot wash in most establishments

First time here, very nice place, delicious meal and good value

Excellent food, excellent staff, clean and always good food ☺️

Fantastic food.lovely clean pub well furnished and great atmosphere.staff can’t do enough for you. Dog friendly area. We took our cavalier King Charles spaniel Staff Brought dog biscuit and water.We visit often and it’s always excellent. The pork belly is ridiculously good. Highly recommended.

Great place! Great food! Great prices!

Food is really good here and the service was brilliant.

Everything was great apart from the music. FAR TOO LOUD IN THE DINING AREAS. Everything was great apart from the music. FAR TOO LOUD IN THE DINING AREAS. Everything was great apart from the music.

Excellent One of the best pub meals ever

Great Pub with friendly staff and good atmosphere. There is a restaurant area that is away from the bar area so caters for both drinks with friends and diners.

Fabulous food, good atmosphere. Wonderful Christmas meal.

This is a locals venue. Very welcolming. Fake log fires, which create ambience. The bar snacks were very good.

So,had Christmas Dinner here for the first time on Christmas Day,absolutely fantastic !! Staff excellent,food first class and served hot!! Lovely relaxed atmosphere, gladly recommend for next year.

Had the festive menu absolutely fantastic Staff on waiting on perfect Bar staff really helpful nothing to much trouble

Went here for the first time and the food was very tasty and the atmosphere was wonderful. I would recommend this pub to anyone. We will definitely be going back again soon.

Early Friday evening meal ,lovely clean well presented pub.Friendly staff who took the time to talk to our 6 yr old grandson. Well cooked,tasty food,chosen from a varied menu ,served hot .Portion sizes were good and not too much which can be off putting. Three main courses,one dessert ,two cofffees,a bottle of wine and a cola came to £56 .Great value !

Been going here for about 4year for the festive menu never add any problems before it’s been excellent.However been there 2nite and wat a disappointment only got 2 roast potatoes no parsnips available small selection of veg lot more choice In previous years not fresh roast potatoes then when we asked for more the manager wasn’t very happy so he brought them out then wen the pudding came out what a disappointment I ordered cheese cake it’s came out like it ad been dropped even the waiter didn’t no what it was wen he brought it out and when he brought the Christmas pudding out well what can I say it was a slice of fruit loaf with to drizzles of custard that was suppose to be brandy custard which it definitely wasn’t so we called the waiter over and told him didn’t really no what to say we asked to speak to a manager and then another waiter come but he didn’t really no what to say then he got a manager that didn’t really know what to do the wen we showed him what was suppose to be cheese cake and said to him would u eat it like that and he just said he’s didn’t like cheese cake then we said about the brandy sauce he said it was we said no it was just custard he said it was mixed with brandy sauce so we said we wasn’t happy with any of out meals so he gave us 10% off then to top it off the state of the toilets paper everywhere so we told the manager he just shrugged his shoulders and walked off saying oh my god.We will not be coming back any time soon

Am amazing customer experience in every way!

Best burger and fries that I've had for a long while. Great beers, great service and acceptable waiting time. Definitely recommend and I will be visiting again.

Excellent dog friendly place. Really good staff. Nice decor. Plenty of off road parking.

Dined before the Sunday quiz. Quite noisy for sharing a quiet evening.

Fantastic local pub..outstanding staff...Best pub pizzas ever...some lovely cool lagers...so pleased it's doing well...all ages in the pub..a real homely happy and friendly pub...one of the best on the Fylde...well done to the landlords...you have it spot on..

Absolutely brilliant service by Jan and Katie, the food was amazing and the atmosphere is perfect.

Fantastic family pub. Suzanne and Paul very welcoming. Staff friendly. Food great.

Excellent food. Friendly service. Highly recommended it 👌 will definitely go again 👍.

Absolutely first class ,was packed plenty of atmosphere will be there again this week

My wife and daughters arranged a meal for 30 guests here for my 60th birthday. All I can say is that the Halway house food, service, manager and staff were all absolutely brilliant. Well done to all there and thankyou for a memorable afternoon.

This has to be the worst place I have ever eaten in. The food was terrible. Lasagne was like mush with no flavours and dryer than anything. My partner had gammon and it was still raw, hardly cooked at all. There was a weird smell in there too, only way to describe it is it smelt like they had a bin full of dirty nappies. I will never go back to this place. Its well over priced for very basic menu too.

Fantastic pub. Love the local beers and always have sport on the TVs at a weekend. Good food too. Im a regular here when in Blackpool.

What happened to this place? I used to enjoy the food, atmosphere and service. My most recent visit has left a bitter taste in my mouth and I won’t be returning as a result regardless of the convenience of how close this is to where I stay. They had a really good butter chicken burger on the menu, something I’ve had on more than one occasion, this time when I ordered it, it was as I’ve they’d gone to Iceland and garlic chicken breasts to put on their burger. When I brought this up with the waitron, he came back and told me that the cook had said it’s the same chicken from the same supplier. Gaslighting if I ever saw it. The staff agreed to replace the order with a beef burger, and what came out was a dry, over cooked patty on a bun with a limp leaf of lettuce. It tasted like an old boot and honestly it made McDonalds seem like a 5 star meal in comparison. Paul, the manager who I flagged down, said he was just about to come to talk to me, even though he’d walked past my table several times during the ordeal, gave a perfunctory apology and refunded me for my meal. I don’t know what’s happening at the Half Way House, but it’s a real shame.
