The Halfway House in Liverpool

Friendly staff.Kathy, the waitress, was lovely, kind and helpful. Food is good with lots of choices.Nice relaxed atmosphere.Would recommend it.

I try to go to the Half Way House once a month. I go and meet my friends for a catch up . I have been going there for many a years and alway have a lovely time. Over the years I am always served by Cath . Cath is such a lovely polite lady who makes sure you have a lovely evening . May I say Cath is such an asset to your restaurant and look forward to seeing her . Thanks Cathy xx

Brilliant service. Food is great value for money. Staff were really helpful and pleasant.

Kathy was really lovely and attentive.The food was really lovely i would highly recommend this place . I will definitely be back

Great spot for lunch and great staff Chris was really helpful and looked after us. The place was clean and staff were all presented

Went for a few drinks and food after work on Friday and had exceptional service. Jackie in particular was fantastic, and could not have done more for us. She was so attentive and not just with us but with everyone. The food was amazing, we had the gyros, boneless chicken, garlic mushrooms, prawns, fries and nachos for around £30 for 3 people. It was all cooked beautifully, big portions and was piping hot. The drinks were insanely good, considering it was 2 for £9 for cocktails they did not skimp on the ingredients, I think they are the best drinks I've had in a long time! The service was fab and the atmosphere was great. The best part is there is music on but it isn't causing you to shout at eachother! I really appreciated that after a long week! I've been a few times and it's always the same (although Jackie really made this visit fantastic)! I appreciate all of the staff and will definitely be back! Highly recommended!

Lovely meal served by Kathy, waitress. Nothing too much trouble. Made us very welcome and made our night extra special. Thank you all at The Half Way

Great place to meet up with friends lovely food bargains prices excellent service especially from waitress Cathy shes so helpful and always smiling adds to a great night out

Went today very nice food amazing staff Thank you

I called ahead as I wanted to make sure they were dog friendly. The lady was so lovely and helpful we decided to call in. Great service. They had a couple of real ales, and the food was excellent. For doggie people, this place is really dog friendly, not tolerant!! When we ordered sausages for the dogs, they advised they contained onion...so they had to make do with chicken breast..cut up and served before us!!!! Will be coming back

Went in to watch the match and get some grub. Was amazed by the brilliant customer service from Katy and Joe , felt so well looked after. Shame it was only a draw but still left with a smile on my face :) will definitely be coming back for the next fixture #COYR #YNWA

Amazing place! Staff are fantastic! Katie is a super star and Marie is literally the most welcoming landlady you could meet! You’re missing out if you don’t visit this place!

The atmosphere here is lovely, I had fish and chips then a few beers. Katy on the bar was super friendly and provided a quick service. All in all would return for the food and the customer service.

Brilliant little boozer, cheap beer, great food and Katy on the bar was an absolute star! 10/10 would recommend.

Place has gone so downhill and someone on the staff stinks behind the bar, every time I come in here now it smells of BO it’s so bad… Please sort it out.

Matty and Marie were perfect! Food was delicious

Thoroughly enjoy my time here every time I come. Regulars are so nice and the staff are lovely too!!!

Excellent service from the young scholars, matty and Marie, great food great drinks, what a place!

Lovely to see some old friends, Matty and Marie. Incredible food. Wonderful service. Anyone in the area must come to this classic Liverpool pub

Marie and Pablo are lovely managers and we love coming here x

katy is a pleasure behind the bar x

Marie is a lovely manager and the place is lovely enjoy drinking here

Nice friendly pub, great staff, boss selection of food and drink! 🍻

Excellent service all day! Staff were brilliant throughout! Thanks Halfway House

Couldn’t give this pub higher praise, great atmosphere, lovely food and amazing staff. Always a pleasure to be served by them, especially Katy!

Great pub! Was served by Katy who was absolutely amazing! Can’t recommend this place enough

Visited last week, no complaints! Food was delicious and served promptly. Atmosphere was very homely and friendly. Can’t fault any of the staff. Can’t wait for the next visit!

Great staff, great food and a great atmosphere. Came in for a pint after work and ended up getting the fish and chips. Loved it, will be back when I’m working in the are 👍

Service was brilliant and the food was fantastic really impressed with whole experience and will become a regular spot for me

Matt and Joe were class. Some of the best service I’ve had in a pub.

Great pints and top service from Matt

Brilliant food, great atmosphere and friendly staff! Definitely worth visit - will be back soon!! X

Great family pub and good for watching the match aswell

Loved the mixed grill. It was perfectly cooked to mediun rare

Had a lovely meal with family to celebrate a birthday, service was great, very enjoyable evening

Are at the Halfway House last night, it was delicious and the prices are very good value.

Didn't know it was no longer a carvery. I had a haloumi wrap it was a little under cooked and to be honest I've had better. My daughter had gammon she loved it. Mum had scampi I'm afraid she didn't think it was that special. My son had a chicken mix basket but didn't enjoy it and some of the chicken was cremated I'm afraid. Daughter had fudge cake she enjoyed it. Mum had pie and custard which she enjoyed.

Lovely atmosphere with really tasty food! The garlic bread was especially nice with the lasagna I had, I would love to come again just to have the same!

Cathy makes your visit. She is professional, friendly and goes out of her way to ensure that you enjoy your visit. Meals are delicious, great prices and all Covid precautions are in place and adhered to.

I went into the halfway house yesterday at lunch time with 2 friends one of my friends has celiac she asked for the celiac menu and was presented with a tablet there was no menu on the tablet just circles which she had to tick off she then decided she could have gammon and egg with some salad but the waitress said they couldn't do an egg as they had no oil and her food has to be cooked separately but the waitress said the manager had gone out for some olive oil then we were told they had no eggs so the manager would have to go out and get some eggs after drinking our cup of tea we left not before having to pay for the tea I find in this day and age with so many complex dietary requirements this restaurant couldn't even supply the basics definitely would not visit again

We are visiting Liverpool from America & love the service & food here. All our meals have been excellent. The Caesar salad tastes like back home! Our server Cathy was wonderful. She took excellent care of us!!

Very busy as expected .Meal poor I am a regular customer .Disappointed with meal beef was tough.

Nice clean, well laid out venue. Food was lovely and timely. Good varied menu. Friendly service.

Haven't been here for many years. Just turned up on a Saturday about 4pm. Plenty of free tables and the outside area is lovely. Meals were great - recommend fish and chips - 2 for the price of onr and beautifully cooked. Service great. Atmisphere - good but very noisy can hardly hear yourself speak. It's well worth a visit.

Called in for lunch as we were passing. Had a lovely chicken curry. Great staff and food.

Lovely meal and excellent service, had sizzling chicken, would highly recommend, finished off with apple pie and custard!!!

Lovely food and service, Kathy who waited on us was lovely, very attentive and never stopped. 10 out of 10 for the lovely staff and food

Local pub, with outdoor area for a sunny after work drink.

Nice place and very nice staff . Chips with meals need improving very dry

Decent pricing for the place. Good service. Worth a visit.

The staff are so friendly and the food was lovely.

A special mention for our server Cathy, she’s has good customer service skills and was very attentive. The fish and chips were good and a good price too. All the food was good and the drinks are pub price, what’s not to like?

Visited here for the first time for lunch and it was a 10 out of 10, The food was amazing and are Waitress and Manager was so friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be returning and recommending to family and friends. Thank you all for a lovely experience .xx

Not been in a while, was the best carvery by far however it's a lovely pub with friendly staff. Love the colour scheme and the function room is a nice size. However nothing beats an ice cold Coors in the beer garden

We had a meal last night here with my family of 8. Cathy was our waitress that went above and beyond to help us. The food was hot and delicious, and we will be returning. From Maurice and family

Lovely meal here last night and staff were great, getting our drinks to getting our food, don’t know the guys name, but he was great with us, we’ve never been before!

My experience was very awkward, sat eating meal with my other half and the staff member who was serving food to tables, dropped an item of food off a diners plate on to the floor, looked around and proceeded to put item back on to the plate. She then realised I had seen this and then came over asking the food was. Once we had finished our meals she then took plates away and remarked that I hadn't eaten all of my meal was there anything wrong. I answered no to this.

A busy but welcoming pub. Staff are pleasant and welcoming. Food was delicious. Definitely one of the best sizzling pubs we’ve visited.

Lovely pub. I come here all the time with my family, it’s just a shame the kitchen closes so early.

Had dinner. Food was hot and fresh. The service from Cathy in the restaurant, as always was excellent.

Really enjoyed our food, we had mix grill. And it was delicious, lady who served us went out of her way, her name was Cathy lovely lady , the k you got the lovely food.

Food was excellent and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly

Lovely pub, great for a traditional drink. Food is also perfectly acceptable

Nice venue and busy which is a good thing, food and service good, only downside is having to queue at the bar to order food with people ordering drinks a little chaotic but will be back in the future

Great place to eat, the food was piping hot right to the last bite and the staff are so helpful and friendly, lovely relaxed atmosphere too.

The young lady serving was fantastic , your restaurant was very busy and she coped so well .she was pleasant and helpful and deserves a pay rise 😉

We called In for a quick drink and I ended up with a parking ticket . I email the pub and said I hadnt noticed the restrictions . I sent them a copy of the ticket and they have cancelled it for me .which I was very happy with . Thank you

Absolutely lovely place, we had food here and it was a bit cool so we mentioned it to Annie our server and she went above and beyond to make sure all our food was replaced and got us a drink while we waited, she has beautiful customer service skills and is a brilliant asset to the company. Thank you Annie.

Good and drink was very good.Cathy our server was very good and attentive.

A few loud cacklers but otherwise good.

Food and staff were great although the mains came a bit to quick as we had barely finished are starters.

Lovely afternoon with family spent in a great pub. The staff were really friendly and the food was really good too. Highly recommended the tandoori skewers! We will definitely be back again to celebrate our next family birthday!

Visited Saturday, really friendly welcome from every staff member we came across, Quick service at the bar and really tasty food. The new cocktails are really good too. We will definitely be back soon!

Took our 4 granddaughters for lunch today. We were served by your lovely waitress Cathy. She made our visit extra special. 😘

Have to give this poor review having being disappointed by our recent visit. Tried the Halfway House on the basis of Tripadvisor best nearby suggestions. It’s definitely not our best nearby though. Menu is fairly cheap but food poor, so overall it isn’t a bargain. Just generally not very tasty. Poor quality ingredients and lacking finishing touches like enough dressing on salad. Everything we were served certainly looked nothing like the menu pictures. It could just be this restaurant/chef, but if not then other national pub chains around this price point are miles better.

Kathy our server was pleasant efficient and helpful. She was lovely.

This pub needs to decide what it is. It seems a crude combination of pub, creche and dogs kennels. I fully appreciate the need to open to a wide local demographic but the constant running about of toddlers and young children is dangerous as well as annoying. Last weekend there was a mother playing with her baby on the floor of the pub. Dog leads also cause tripping hazards , which could result in a nasty accident. Please,Halfway, can you cater for pub customers who want to come into relax, rather than allowing excitable dogs and hyper youngsters to ruin what is otherwise an excellent pub.

Thought we'd call in for a couple of drinks on a sunny eve, not been for a while. Wish we hadn't. Was spoke to like absolute rubbish by one barman/manager (?) who was rude, abrupt and snappish. Completely uncalled for. Will stick to the Abbey/Fiveways!

Second time we have been here and again there were problems with food, had to send the chicken burger back because it was missing onion rings, cheese and sauces. The beef burger came and patty was like rubber, wouldn’t recommend getting a double. Fries were few and either bad quality or undercooked but got left, won’t be returning for food, should have learnt the first time

Very good waitress. Good value on special offer 40% off main meals 😋.

Great deal well worth a visit. Service was very good. Price of food very reasonably priced. Clean and tidy. You won't be disappointed if you give it a try

Waitress Kathy was very welcoming and had our reserved table ready. She is very hard working, she never stopped. She took our order and explained the kitchen was busy and there may be a wait. When the food came, it was beautifully cooked and presented.

Cathy who took our order went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied. Honestly such an angel would come back here just for the conversation with her! :D

Went here with my boyfriend for a weekday tea (table 10). We were really pleasantly surprised. Lovely beer garden, interior was nicely decorated, nice atmosphere, nice food, and good offers on the app. But what really set it apart was the service, the staff were fantastic. Cathy was lovely, really attentive and brilliant at her job, but more than that, she was down to earth, polite and chatty. I used to be a food and beverage manager in a hotel and I would have been proud to have Cathy on my team. Halfway house - look after her she’s a good one!

Staff great food good beer healthy

Lovely food lovely friendly staff everything perfect

Went last night the kitchen was closed but because there was two of us having food they agreed to serve us. The starter was burnt , there was no filling in the mozzarella sticks they had been over cooked, I ordered fish which the batter was chewy the fish was slimy with a jelly texture and tasted very strong, my partners chicken wasn’t even chicken it was rubber which was a shame as it was his birthday we came away unhappy and ordered a takeaway instead we don’t normally leave bad reviews but felt like we have to

Such an amazing place. Incredible atmosphere, staff are friendly and attentive. Always up for a laugh. Had some food and with the new menu there’s endless choices. Pub is incredibly managed and smiles all around. Well done team Halfway

Lovely lunch today, great food cooked to perfection. And as always, a warm welcome from the lovely Cathy, nothing is ever too much trouble for her. Would highly recommend.

Nice pub, service okay but never blew.me away

Food was really good, would go again

The menu has changed but there still offer a selection of meals for a lower combined price good website to look on before visiting we opted for the lasagne ,fish and chips and a chicken gyros all the meals are nicely presented nice tasting and great value

Good value meals. Cathy was amazing and really added to the dining experience. Nothing was too much for Cathy, and it was clear she works really hard being the only waitress, but nonetheless she ensures guests are looked after. I would return again just to see the lovely Cathy!

Food was great. As always Cathy looked after us really well. But why only one person to wait at table? Sometimes quite a long wait for food.

Lovely waitress was busy, but she was very attentive. Best steak I've had from a sizzler restaurant.

Fabulous staff and friendly customers

Another lovely meal at the Halfway presided over by Kathy in the restaurant...she always gives us great service with a smile and is very considerate to our requests and to customers in general.Kathy is a real asset to the Halfway...and never stops running around looking after diners ....thanks again Kath

Excellent staff as it was very busy time

Super place to watch football and great staff and food

Thank you so much for a brilliant night
