The Halfway House in North West Leicestershire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lunch time with Grandson and a dog. Fairly quiet which suited us. Excellent service for humans and the dog. Food was the best pub food - presentation, portion size and taste wise, that we have experienced in a long time. Really couldn't fault anything. Fish and Chips were Amazing even the kids meal was presented well. Will certainly return.

We have had several evening meals and lunches here and every time the food and service has been amazing. The quality of the food and the portion sizes are excellent lovely country pub with a bustling atmosphere highly recommend we haven’t tried Sunday lunch yet but can only imagine this will be a good one . Lovely beer garden too 😊

A great pub with quality food on offer. Very friendly, great service and quality food, good choice on menu. Three of us went today for Sunday lunch. The food and service were 10/10.

Well run and friendly. Serves delicious Ghost (Adams) alcohol free beer

Brad, Mitch and the team are always fantastic. Best pub for miles! The food and beer is also incredible!

Popped in for a drink whilst out walking the dog. We recieved a lovely welcome both from the staff and locals, a good choice of 4 ales on handpull including 1 Porter. The dog was welcomed in all areas and enjoyed getting treats from the locals, who created a great atmosphere on a Saturday afternoon. We didn't get chance to try the food as we were too late for lunch and too early for evening service, but the menu looks good! We will be back soon!

Sunday roast was very disappointing . The beef was tough and the Yorkshire dry . Shame as when we ate last time on a sat food was excellent . Waiters were very good as always

Good choice on food, excellent choice of ales. Staff are brilliant, helpful. Friendly atmosphere and the food was excellent.

Had a lovely lunch here yesterday with some friends celebrating a 50th birthday. Food was excellent - together with the staff. Will definitely return.

Fantastic food, great service, brilliant music. Great little local find.

Fabulous find. We were a group of 5 ladies on a birthday weekend walk, we had lunch and a couple of drinks. Great home made food, staff were very attentive and accommodating. Highly recommend.

Lovely place to eat. The food was fantastic, extremely good value for your money. Staff couldn’t do enough, very friendly. The chef came out and spoke to us, which was really nice. Would highly recommend The Halfway House for a meal.

Not had food yet will defo be back for that

Beautiful food as always 😊. Would highly recommend.

Great place, great team and great food...

Just had an amazing night celebrating a friends birthday. Food absolutely gorgeous, Mitch thank you so much. All staff very helpful, thanks Fred. We will be back.

Just had the Sunday lunch, superb! Well done guys the service, food, Bass beer, atmosphere was perfect. The place has got it's spark back again 👍🙏 ------------------------------------------------- It's been my local for years so I maybe biased but this is a traditional pub with great atmosphere, beer and superb home cooked food. The Bass on tap is incredible! We had our works do here recently and the food was better than most top class restaurants if you take into consideration value for money . There aren't many pubs left which have this atmosphere so have a visit and enjoy!

Like coming home. Had a fabulous meal last night. The whole place has its buzz back. Amazing atmosphere, fabulous food, lovely staff. Well done Mitch, Brad and Gill behind the bar..... we will be back.

Amazing food, staff are lovely and friendly

Came in for Sunday dinner which was absolutely beautiful. Staff are helpful and always have a smile on their faces. Roast beef and roast pork dinners were delicious, along with the steak pie! We had an apple and cinnamon crumble and a chocolate orange cheesecake which were amazing too!

Amazing village pub. New food menu launched January 2024 and it's insanely good and great value for money too. Mitch & Brad are doing amazing 😁

This has been my local for 8 years now and one of the reasons I took the plunge to move to Donisthorpe was the community feel with the halfway being the heart of it !!! All the events and support they give to the community is amazing. Since the new landlords have taken over they have created a new buzz and bought back a feel good atmosphere. They have just recently started serving food again which has been missing for the past few years. The food is exceptional!!!!! I cant not recommend this traditional local pub enough if you want to have a drink or meal in a true traditional setting with amazing food it's a must !!!!!

First time visiting the pub for food , the new owners are so welcoming and the service was well organised , little to no waiting time and the food was gorgeous. Will definitely be going back soon.

Nice traditional pub with cask ales and digs allowed, near nice walking routes

Lovely little pub, new landlords who are excellent, but the locals were a little standoffish with a new face in their pub!

Possibly one of the best Sunday lunches ever. Very good service and good beer. Will be back again soon.

Nice friendly staff and good selection of drinks

Didn’t have any food so can’t comment but the place seemed very tired and not very welcoming.

Lovely place for a beer or two and a chat.

The pizza & pasta night was great, so much choice and only £10! My pasta dish was really tasty, took me back to holidays in Sorrento! Had a lovely meal with family and the beer was great too! Can't wait for the Tapas night next Thursday!

Gr8 place to have a family get together

Nice selection of real ales and friendly staff too.

Great beer an dog friendly too great local pub and serves food aswell

Poor selection of lagers but lovely play area and kind staff

Good food in pleasant surroundings served by very helpful and friendly staff. What more could you ask for. Will definitely be going back.

Lovely pub with locals creating the atmosphere .do not miss this place Still community hub

Lovely food, lovely vibe, lovely staff. Thanks for having us.

Warm, welcoming , good food served hot. Christmas meal was very nice. The 3 small sweets were ideal, tasty ,served with decorated fruit. Staff were very helpful. I have an intolerance to certain ingredients. They took great care to ensure the meal was safe for me to eat. Can't praise them enough. Thankyou.

We were on holiday staying at a nearby campsite with our two dogs, we happened to find this amazing pub on a fantastic walk that we were on, we went in for a drink on the Monday lunch time with our dogs and the people were very friendly and welcoming. We then went back on the Wednesday for Lunch with the dogs again, it was a great lunch and even better it was a special menu for us oldies over 60. The food, quantity and quality was incredible. The staff were friendly and the place was clean and tidy. Would 100% recommend this pub.

Amazing food 😋 Amazing experience, so friendly and welcomed us with open arms. You definitely need to go a try the food. Thank you 😊

Excellent value. Excellent food too. They had a Golden Years Menu for over 60s. The menu had a great variety. Recommend

Went for food and they weren't serving any which was a shame

Excellent food, service and surroundings

Twenty went for meal place they put us was to snall for the amount of people and the food was not the best

Nice pint of Pedigree, friendly staff 👍

Had mum in laws 60th here. Fantastic little pub with a play ground outside for the kids.

A good choice of ales, welcome staff

We've had a fantastic Sunday lunch today. Steak pie was wonderful. Sunday lunch is excellent, beautiful selection of veg, tasty yorkshire pudding and roasters. Oreo and Maltese cheesecake fabulous. Thank you, definitely the best food around this area. I've eaten here evening and always been very very happy with our meals.

Nice place, nice people, shame there's no music

Just moved in to the area, an oasis

Lovely pub .shame they are not doing food of an evening now..but brilliant for a drink and great food of a lunch time

Used to be a great local pub , most of the staff are great , Tom , Sandi , Owen , really go along way to making this place enjoyable. There are others but I forget their names but it's all about the locals and great characters that come in that make this place fun. Not eaten here for a bit so can't comment on that.

Lovely enjoyed the company from staff. Will be going there again for more drinks. Highly recommend brillint place to relax with friends a partner!

A good choice of beers and the garden was great if you have children.

Fabulous food and great place to eat

Expensive and slow service but nice beer garden

Poor food cheese duet frozen and 2 cooked 1 still cold inside chicken tikka tandoori more like hot balti watery tomato sauce with some chicken pieces very very poor

A pleasant atmosphere and good food, the Creme Brule particularly good.

We visited the pub whilst on our holidays and out for a walk in the local area. The staff were friendly and helpful as we turned up on a Monday when food is not on and happily made us toasties

Fantastic food, friendly helpful staff

Lovely little country pub, you could tell the Sunday roast was home cooked, it was delicious - proper comfort food! All the staff were friendly too. Only downside is that the seating arrangements are a little snug but we’ll definitely be recommending this place to friends & family

Really nice place to visit for a meal and good company staff was really nice and polite would recommend to all

Fantastic place for the family, welcoming staff and excellent food. Highly recommend a visit.

Was very disappointed, menu of things I could get anywhere. I was told they had specials board but no sign when I went.

This was my first visit as I live some distance from the pub but I will definitely be going back. The best pub food I have ever had and at reasonable price.

Open mic night first Monday of the month, my first attendance. Fantastic pub, beer, food, landlord and staff not to mention very hospitable clientele. Looking forward to next month, thankyou all at Halfway House

Excellent customer service food delious will be coming back

Glad we chose to go! Very nice & helpful staff. Hadn't booked, but were happy to fit us in. Great food. A really relaxed atmosphere.

Went for Sunday lunch yesterday, 7 adults plus baby in pram. Excellent food, superb customer service, brilliant staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. Highly recommended !!

Friendly staff. Beer range was rather disappointing. All bog standard. Could do work a local beer on all the time. Apparently I missed two from week before.

The Halfway House has an older feel about it due to its decor but don't let that hold you back. The staff, overall service, and quality of food are brilliant. The lady who worked there (not sure of her name) was very welcoming and always had a smile. She clearly knew people's faces and names of the regulars which was nice. She worked very hard and ensured that we had everything we needed whilst she worked the bar, served the restaurant area, and communicated with the kitchen. The portions are MASSIVE! The price is also so good for what you get (quality and portion wise). The cheesecake is to die for and would be worth the trip alone. If we visit the area again then we will be sure to come again 😁.

Had a lovely meal. The food was great. Nicely presented. Well priced. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. We was a party of 20. They was very happy to help us out with the birthday cake that we took in ourselves.

Very expensive food, drinks are ok.

Nice meal in friendly pub atmosphere, reasonably priced.

Lovely place, friendly staff and the food was brilliant, definitely recommend 👌

Had a pleasant rest whilst having a pint and a extremely tasty Chicken Tikka Curry. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Not very busy.

A very nice restaurant, small but very well presented, in a typical local pub, very friendly and clean Food was very good with a varied menu. Would definitely go again

Genuine surprise. Great service. Great portions. Good food. Kids loved it. Really good.

Lovely meal today 😋 large portions, helpful staff,definitely come again 😀

Polite staff member and lovely location. The only reason for 1 star knocked off was the lipstick on the pint glass. I didn't mention anything so that's my choice, i just made do, but it points to them not checking they are washed properly. It wasn't busy so it wasn't due to rushing either. Only a small slip up that I'm sure they'd have corrected if I'd have brought it up.

Great local pub food staff and management

Great food ,central location. Massive beer garden, kids play area great welcome. Lotsa real ales ,friendly staff and customers

Lovely walk around Donisthorpe, ended up at the Halfway House for a meal, meal was excellent and the service was superb, lovely friendly pub..

Just popped in for a beer. All ok, could have been cleaner and 2 large bins outside overflowing

Dog friendly, staff were friendly and good beer.
