The Halfway House in Liverpool

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

Great family pub and good for watching the match aswell

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Food was excellent and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly

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.

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

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

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

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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

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

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!!

The food was lovely x going back this weekend x

If I'd gone to the loo as soon as I got there I would have walked straight out. The toilets are filthy, human excrement all over 2 of the toilets, even under the seat and down the pedestal. All pedestals were covered in grime. If that's what the public see I'd hate to see behind the scenes . Why is the manager not checking the facilities? Never again

Brilliant team, fantastic service above and beyond. The best! Whole team working as one.

Came on valentines night with family . At first we weren’t sure if we’d get a table -there was space - but the waitress was alone so was a little nervous allowing more in ! We were lucky and got one though . She warned us it would be a 40 min wait but we waited 15 , if that! The food is really nice for the price. We enjoyed a variety of things and would certainly come again . All piping hot with decent portions . The tables are spaced out and it’s got a relaxed feel . Mixed grill , wrap , mac and cheese and lovely skillet . Skillet not tried before and will defo get again !

Went here recently with a friend from the university across the street and the food, atmosphere and staff were absolutely incredible. The server, Cathy, was brilliant and insanely lovely, and always is whenever we visit. Thank you!!

Great experience. Cathy is an amazing server who made me welcome throughout. Food was great, fast and delicious. Will come back 👍

Really enjoyed our meals. Our server Kathy was lovely as always. We will come back again. Recommend this restaurant for meals.

I had fish and chips and it was delicious

Most of the food was really nice. Service needs to be sorted, one person taking orders and serving Kitchen disorganised as food from all different table getting served in bits. Sort this out and the pub is exceptable as a dining place. Sort things out boss cos you have a great place

Absolutely fantastic I haven't been there for over 20 yrs and I can say I will 💯% I will be definitely going back, the food was amazing our server Cathy was lovely nothing was to much trouble for her she made our visit very pleasant, so happy and friendly 😊

Nice steak cooked as ordered 1st time in here toilets spotless and nicely kept ..staff friendly and helpful..well done will be back 😁

Fantastic food and lovely staff 😁

The food was nice but the table was dirty and the service was slow. There appeared to be just one waitress working so everything took longer than expected, our table hadn't been cleaned from the previous customer (even though a spray and cloth had been left on the table next to us). The waitress didn't seem interested in cleaning our table so it was left to me to pick the previous diners peas off our table with a napkin, also the table we were seated at was on a tiled floor that must have been greasy as it would move/slide every time it was touched, which is not the best experience when you're trying to eat off it.

All good excellent service and food lovely

i was there at saturday 22:30 and was closeď. Opening hours are nit real.

Food was nice service was good as always at this pub

Fabulous Food. Well worth a visit.

Staff are amazing! So lovely and there to help whenever you need, all staff are very knowledgeable and they aren’t shy to have a laugh with you! I will be coming again!!

Have visited the halfway house for over 30years and seen Managers come and go, there was a time the pub was going to close but was then refurbished and the new management did an excellent job, making sure people were served, the bar staff are excellent. The last two times we have visited plates and glasses are not collected and tables sticky. Hopefully this is just lack of staff.

Great food staff are great always friendly and quick service

Been coming here for years, another evening out and excellent service as always, Cathy is lovely and always looks after us

Great service from Carol. She was very helpful and friendly! Thank you Carol. The food was lovely too!

Lady who served us is really nice and has been there for a while now. She's part of the reason we go back

Our server tony was exceptional he was helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The food was spot on and bar staff very friendly . We have been there as a family a few times this year and definitely will go back soon 😊

Food not very fresh , they didnt follow dietary requirements and customer service was very unpleasent .

Went today very nice food amazing staff Thank you

Excellent food and service. Cathy was attentive, knowledgeable, passionate about her role took time to chat with us.

Food was hot, delicious and served quickly. Waitress was very friendly and polite

Decent pub grub.Good service. Would recommend.

Not been here for a while it looks much better inside and out with the new seating and window. Good food, value for money and the staff are really welcoming especially Cath.
