The Halfway House in Liverpool

Place smelt absolutely disgusting. Like an old musty dirty smell

Cathy is the best waitress, always greeted with a smile. Always come back because we know we will get the best service thanks to you

Been a couple of times and every time the food has been lovely and the service was great.

Went into this establishment to carry out some admin work, and grab myself lunch. The lady in the afternoon was very sweet and kind and very accommodating. She was extremely bubbly singing away, which is nice to see! They had free wifi and I sat in the bar area where dogs are allowed. I chose this pub, as it was DOG FRIENDLY! It is hard to find dog friendly establishments, so I am happy that I found this place to get on with my work, with my Dog accompanying me. Food was great, I ordered a “CRISPY SWEET CHILLI CHICKEN”, Salt and chilli chicken in a sweet chilli sauce, served on a bed of sizzling vegetables, with a giant prawn cracker and your choice of basmati rice or skin-on fries 762 kcal £11.79. Reasonable prices! Will come again.

Have been into this place on a few occasions always found the place a nice atmosphere drinks fine big car park put your reg in at the entrance reminds me of a proper pub the food side always looks busy which is a good sign

The best fish & chips we ever had. Excellent service & lovely atmosphere.

Best Sizzler Pub in Liverpool Amazing staff & atmosphere 🥰

Superb service. The food was fantastic Thank you

Fantastic food and lovely staff 😁

Went today very nice food amazing staff Thank you

small place, delicious food and friendly waiters

Great service from Cathy all evening. Made sure we were looked after even though there was a big party in at the same time!

Absolutely loved it I ordered a mixed grill it was perfectly cooked my partners food came out wrong but I mentioned it and it was just miscommunication when ordering and they sorted it

Lovely evening meal at the Halfway House tonight, made even nicer by Cathy. She was very attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. Many thanks Cathy! We’ll be back!!

Whiskey man Chris knows his stuff friendly staff

Marie and her team are amazing and so friendly x x

Cathy has been really great and attentive to our needs. Made us feel so welcome and we had a very pleasant dining experience🦋

Got served by Eve and Chris. Amazing service and bar staff. Service with a smile. Would highly recommend.

Food was lovely and hot. Freshly prepared. Cathy the waitress was friendly and even though it was very busy we were served quickly.

Wonderful service from a young lady named Eve Kay. Excellent stuff. Thanks

Great food, friendly staff. We can easily recommend. There were 8 of us with 2 young children and we all had a really good time and ate too much.

Visited on 11th Feb 2025 for a teatime meal and a few drinks. Sat in the eating area towards the back. Service from Cathy our server was excellent and the food was tasty, hot and good value for money. This is not fine dining but what they do , they do well with friendly and prompt service. Bar area pleasant too.

We had a lovely time!! Great food and friendly service¡ we booked a table and selected the 2 for 1 options which was adelicious bargain. Many thanks to our fab waitreess Cathy for being so kind and helpful😃😀

Went for a quick lunch. Parked in their car park at the back while we ate. Just received £100 parking fine. This must be a scam. Disgusting and I will never be going back. Will be taking this further. Avoid at all costs

The steaks are always amazing 👏 Cathy always goes out of her way to lookafter us even when it's mad busy 10 out of 10 for service and food

Great staff and great food. Amazing service from Cathy super friendly and looked after us really well. Food was excellent too with good menu. Definitely be going back.

Visited the Halfway House Tuesday 1/9/20 with family and enjoyed a really good meal,our waitress Catherine was very helpful and it was definitely service with a smile, will definitely visit again.😊

Food is always lovely and Cathy goes above and beyond to make sure everything is how you want it. Would definitely recommend.

Went with my parents for dinner as we had a discount. Cathy was so lovely (gorgeous scouse gal), super fast service, food was cooked amazing, drinks were cold and fresh, restaurant was clean. Would come again in a heartbeat. We dont get a chance to go out as a family much due to work so it was a lovely night. Thanks Cathy queen we love ya x

Lovely meal, dessert and wine. Very reasonably priced. Excellent service throughout from Cathy our waitress. Thanks also to the chefs.

Had a lovely meal here with family. Easy to park which was a bonus for us. Cathy our waitress was wonderful, she sorted a table out for us and was fully attentive and helpful. Bar staff are friendly, Katy sorted our drinks out for us and was happily chatting away to us. Good was delicious and plentiful. The atmosphere in the dining area is cosy and you can see the food being prepared in the kitchen. Look forward to returning soon.

Everytime we come to this pub Cathy goes above and beyond for us. She never stops and always with a smile on her face. Definitely the queen of the halfway house.

Cathy is so pleasant makes us feel welcome every time

Personal amable. Kathy, la camarera, era encantadora, amable y servicial. La comida es buena con un montón de opciones. Bonito ambiente relajado. Lo recomendaría.

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

Kathy era realmente encantador y atento. La comida era realmente encantadora, lo recomendaría encarecidamente este lugar. Definitivamente volveré

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

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

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

Matty and Marie were perfect! Food was delicious

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

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

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.

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 👍

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

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!

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

katy is a pleasure behind the bar x

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Great pints and top service from Matt

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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?

The staff are so friendly and the food was lovely.

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.

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

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

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.
