The Halfway House in Bradford

Great service from Katy and the team. The food is always flavourful and fresh. I enjoy the veggie options even though I'm not a veggie. Would recommend the garden plot medley.

Well presented pub inside and out. Went for Sunday lunch and good customer service. Three of my party chose Sunday lunch and all said it was very good and plenty. I chose the special of sea bass and scallop risotto which was underwhelming and a little disappointing. All ingredients the rice, the tiny piece of sea bass and the even tinier 2 scallops were all over cooked. I would visit again but would try something else from the menu.

We booked the venue for our engagement party at the Halfway house and it was amazing! Great venue and Becki (the events manager) was so helpful! We definitely recommend for parties and weddings.

Estoy organizando mi boda. Vino para la comida degustación la comida era fantástica, adaptado a nuestras necesidades y presentado maravillosamente. El personal de camareros era rápido, eficiente y teniendo en cuenta no puede recomendar lo suficiente. Un hermoso lugar con un gran ambiente acogedor perfecto para una bebida o una comida muy contento con todo hasta ahora.

Mala experiencia desde el principio... fue al bar y estaba totalmente en blanco por la señora detrás de la barra... otro miembro del personal vino y nos sentó y tomó nuestras bebidas ordenadas... al traer las bebidas se le dijo 40 minutos de espera por la comida... hicimos nuestro pedido pero en 5 minutos preguntamos si podíamos cancelarlo, ya que nos dimos cuenta de que todos los demás comensales parecían infelices... pero nos dijeron que nuestra comida estaba preparada y que tendríamos que pagar por ella... la comida llegó unos 30 minutos... estaba bien nada especial... la señora de detrás de la barra salió de la cocina y le dijo a la camarera que estaba perdiendo las ganas de vivir... mal ambiente y vibra de principio a fin...

Lovely breakfast would 100% recommend for a light brekki 🩷

Great service from Pete yesterday considering he was flying solo !

Had a truly lovely Sunday Roast here. Tasty food and fabulous service.

7 (5 adults and 2 children aged 8 and 11) of us visited for an evening meal on a Tuesday evening. No surprise that the restaurant was very quiet. A friendly greeting and the service during the meal was very good. Only 2 courses of beer were available. However the food was only average and, frankly the child portions for the boys were tiny! The boys had "2 courses" for the childs price. For them this was a slice of garlic bread and the smallest burger Ive ever seen served in a restaurant!! Both boys made clear that they wrent happy. My meal (vegetarian pie) was not hot enough but sending it back would have spoilt the evening. The other adult meals were considered to be ok. The food costs were average but the food was just that; very average and was simply unacceptable for the children. Overall a disappointing experience that we will not repeat.

Really lovely lunch. Would absolutely recommend the chicken and bacon sandwich and the cheese toastie. Really nice staff, we were looked after by Kate and Emma. Thank you, we will certainly be back!

Excellent local Chef and Brewer pub/restaurant. Beth, Pete and the team are friendly and welcoming. The food is good quality pub fare and well prepared. Excellent range of drinks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic. The pub itself is very clean and well presented. Loads of parking and they have an event room downstairs for special occasions. They have a good sized outdoor seating area and a nice terrace for those summer drinks.

Came for an early Mother’s Day meal. Lovely clean place, staff were faultless. Greeted by Kate who was lovely, served by Emma. Both polite and lovely, Emma assisted with questions I had regarding my order. Shoutout to the chef Beth too, the Seabass was amazing!! - we have been a few times and each time it gets better and better. Highly recommend. Thank you ladies. We will be returning.

Absolutely amazing experience! Great atmosphere and very welcoming staff. Food was delicious, exactly what we were looking for after a busy fitness weekend. Thank you!

Visted for lunch. Whilst did wait a short time to be seated the rest of the visit went well. Food was great and freshly cooked. Will definitely visit again.

We've driven past this place for many years, so glad we stopped today. We came for breakfast full English with a coffee. Absolutely spot on atmosphere, really well done and open and comfortable, plenty of space inside and out. Service was exceptional and quick, we got there fairly early so it was surprisingly quiet, the food arrived and everything seemed to be very high quality, thick delicious bacon's, perfect eggs, thick crusty bread and so on. Can't fault the place at all. It was a little pricey but the ingredients, service and atmosphere warrant the price. We will definitely be back again. Plenty of breakfast options from full English to avocado toast ect. Would highly recommend.

Good standard of food with variety of choice and special offers. Service was friendly and attentive by Beth and Pete, and even pointing out a soecial offer we could use. Clean and nicely presented environment .

Lovely dinner last night - thanks to Pete and the team.

Fantastic visit! We had a lovely meal with friends. Staff were very attentive and friendly! Will be visiting again soon.

This was a retirement lunch for a small group The atmosphere was good, the decor very pleasant and the staff really helpful and friendly, especially Kate from arrival to departure, she was very attentive. There's a good menu choice and lighter bites for lunch, which is always good for the smaller appetites. We will return again!

Slow service Poor selection of vegan food Expensive

Nice food Vegan options Good service Options for everyone Reasonably priced food and drinks Lovely atmosphere Nice and clean Dog friendly too

We came for a meal with the family last night, Kate was really friendly and helpful throughout our whole meal, thank you so much! : )

Really great service again from Kate and Gee. Amazing food and atmosphere

Would recommend to family,excellent country pub, food very good.

Amazing service, was running behind on main meals due to busy Friday night, however the quality of the food more than made up for it, we had the pulled pork and mixed grill and they were spectacular definitely a trip back next time in area.

We visited on Valentine day and there was 6 of us. Service was slow and had to wait ages for our meal which was very disappointing. Don't think we will be returning.

Sunday Dinner - had the rib of beef! Honestly was the best Sunday dinner I’ve had out for a long time! Great dinner great service great prices

My partner and I went for a meal at lunchtime and we had our 6 month old baby with us. The food was lovely, but the staff were fantastic, particularly Cerys. Cerys was very friendly and welcoming. She was so lovely with our daughter.

Great food and great service from Pete and Cerys

Often drive past the Halfway House and today we decided to pop in for lunch – and what a fantastic decision that was! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfectly setting the tone for a cozy meal. Kate and Max provided attentive, friendly service that made us feel truly welcome.

Food was amazing! Service fe9m Kate and Max was friendly and efficient. We will definitely be back.

Great pub/ restaurant. God vibe and food at a decent price

We had a lovely Sunday roast here, would definitely come again - The sticky toffee pudding was out of this world (and I’ve tasted my fair share!). Kate was super friendly and attentive to all of our dietary needs, thanks Kate!

Excellent service for our lunchtime meal. The restaurant is pleasing, relaxed environment. Our daughter's allergy was catered for with grace and without issue. Thanks!

Really pleasant lunch - had the steak sandwich, meat was good quality and flavoursome. Nice clean environment. Marked lower on atmosphere simply because it was quiet, so hard to judge any particular vibe.

nice pub, wonderful food, fast and excellent service, would recommend and likley to go again. staff were all very friendly with good quality service and food all round.

Always a great meal and lovely staff. Highly recommend.

Came in for a drink and to meet some friends. Had lovely service from Cerys, Beth and Max, Also Emma and G made the pub for me, lovely chat and very polite

Lovely place. Our regular once a week stop for coffee and a pint for my fella

Everything from the warm welcome, the delicious food and very helpful friendly staff. We visited for Christmas dinner and also new years eve. The staff can't do enough for you.

Visited on New Years Day for lunch. Lovely food, friendly service, and a cosy relaxing atmosphere. Although we didn’t take the dog this time, it is dog friendly with blankets, biscuits & water available for your furry friend.

Christmas dinner was booked weeks in advance for 7 people as we decided to have this on boxing day instead of the traditional Christmas day. We arrived 1 hour early to enjoy a festive drink at the bar and the staff were informed of our arrival. We chose the festive menu, 2 of the starters and 2 of the main courses were unavailable, Including Christmas dinner so we were left with a choice of cod or beef cheeks. We then had to choose from the main menu but again steak and beef burger as well as some starters were not available. It was far too late to leave and try to find somewhere else, especially at Christmas, we also had a 4 year old child with us Staff did not charge for the starters as a gesture of good will but we all ended up eating food we didn't particularly want. Certainly a different Christmas eating fish or pies and hunters chicken etc. Thank you very much for spoiling our christmas dinner. UPDATE After leaving this review I was contacted by the halfway house w asked us to return for a meal on them. We returned on the 5th January for Sunday roast and could not fault the food and service. As I previously pointed out we have dined many times before and always had excellent food and service. Thank you very much halfway house for your prompt action to my complaint and your excellent hospitality Julie

Beautiful place, worth visiting. My daughters and I had delicious breakfasts two days in a row. The service is very friendly.

A lovely visit with family. The food was incredible and came promptly thanks to chefs Ben and Beth. Service was friendly and the waiters and waitresses were happy to help, thank you Max, Charley and Kate for making our evening so lovely!

Visited tonight and had a lovely meal with the family. All our meals came really quickly so big thanks to chefs Ben and Beth!! The service from the waiters and waitresses was really good and they made us feel right at home. Max, Charley and Kate were all brilliant. I had the lamb shank shepherds pie which was brilliant and the specials looked delicious too. Thanks for a great meal :)

Great dinner and the pub accommodated a ten people booking. Great food and service. Would recommend the steak pie and signature burger. Kate, Charley and Max looked after us and were very attentive.

Lovely venue and very helpful and personable staff but the food on the Sunday we spent there was very limited even when things are missing from my plate because they've run out they still charge full price. At the prices they charge its unacceptable.

Very very disappointed in our recent visit on Boxing Day. Booked well in advance for a family meal only to arrive to be informed half of the set menu not available. No options were available to switch items from the mai menu so very very limited. The food on arrival was average at best. The fish was baked to an inch if it’s life and was practically inedible and the cheesecake dessert was presented with frozen fruit that was inedible. Staff also didn’t seem to have a clue what was going on. Top and bottom of this is will never go back and look for somewhere else to have family meals in the area

Sunday dinner- food was delicious

Lovely diner and very welcoming efficient service; thank you Kate

If you want ok food and overpriced drinks this is for you. Food ok had better. Waitress quite abrupt and didn't listen to special dietary needs, had to send food back to be changed .

Nice pint of Guinness and a fruit cider and a seedvery hot bowl of chips

Really lovely pub ,great food and a great place for drinks ,friendly staff,had our Xmas work meal there tonight ,lovely decorations and very festive

I came for tea here with my family and was served by; Beth, Gee, Max and Ben. The food was lovley and I will definitely be returning in the near future. The atmosphere and service was outstanding and I couldn’t recommend it more.

Very tasty Christmas dinner. Pigs in blankets extra but well worth it. Starter with prawns.

Was part of a table of 11 celebrating a friends 60th birthday. Lovely setting, great choice of food of which we all enjoyed. Lovely friendly staff. Special thanks to Beth & Katie for great service and looking after us all.

Came here for a impromptu dinner with a friend. The food was exemplary and the service - Kate and Emma were on duty - was brilliant. I would happily come back here again. Thank you for a lovely evening!

Service is impeccable, Cerys was particularly good, the right amount of attentiveness. The food has also improved since we last visited, a bit of a diamond in the rough, this place.

Excellent service from Bethany and Cerys, miss AM Courtney on maternity ❤️❤️xxx

Excellent food today, and the service from Lucy and the other girls in the team was exceptional.

Had an amazing day here at my son's wedding. The staff were amazing and the food was just stunning. Can't recommend it higher if you want a meal drink or party place.

We had a wake for my dad in the function room earlier this week. Becki and the team did a fantastic job setting up the room and looking after us at a very challenging time. The food and drinks choices were spot on. Thank you.

We visit the Halfway House on a regular basis but last night was for my dad's birthday 🎂. We had a lovely meal, our servers were Kate and Gee, and nothing was too much trouble for them as they even put a candle into my dad's pudding and sang happy birthday. The food is amazing and the portion size is good. All meat is sourced locally and is good quality produce. There is a good selection of beers and Lager, and also nonalcoholic drinks too. They always make us feel welcome in this warm and friendly pub. It is also family and dog friendly with pooches bring allowed into the bar area. Many thanks again to Kate snd Gee for making my dad's birthday special. See you again soon Andrew, Diane and Karen xxx

Had great breakfast there for my grandaughters birthday lucie and all our family enjoyed it and great attentative service from Kate, lots of room for large families and parking and best regards to chef Ben excellent food will call again cheers

Lovely food and lovely staff, thank you!

Lovely food & great service in a warm friendly atmosphere

Really enjoyed our visit, will be back

We came here for tea whilst staying at Hollins Hall for my birthday. The food was amazing, I had the Barbers smothered chicken and it was genuinely the tastiest chicken dish I've ever had! The decor was really nice and I particularly liked the ambience where the log fire is situated. The staff that looked after us were all very pleasant, Kate, Kaitlyn and Grace. Great choice of drinks on draught, we will most definitely return.

Really good service from Kate and Gee. Satisfying lunch but chargrilled cabbage was raw, needed steaming first

Best burger I've ever had. No jokes. Definitely recommend. Thank you to Kate and Georgia for being fanatic hosts.

Excellent experience here on the evening of 14/10/24. The service we received from Kate was 10/10. Genuinely couldnt have been more friendly and helpful. 10/10 Will definitely be back. Thanks again!

Great meal and excellent service.

Excellent food, prompt and polite service. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Recommended. Good child's menu as well.

Had a great meal!! Duck pie and pork belly both were delicious! Service from Kate and Emma was perfect. We will definately be back!

Thanks Kate and Emma, great meal and great service!

Great food, even better pints and lovely staff. Definitely recommend

We visited for breakfast. Two adults and two children. The food was fresh and great quality. Very well priced and friendly service from Kate. Would highly recommend for any meal any time of the day.

Lovely food and staff, would definitely reccomend.

Friendly, courteous staff and a welcoming atmosphere along with good food makes The Halfway House a great place to eat. Always treated like valued customers!

Lovely meal with very friendly staff. Went twice in one week as had such a good experience.

A lovely meal for my dad’s 80th birthday. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic from Kate, Lucy & Jee.

First time here today and I have to say it was lovely. The look and atmosphere is 10/10. Our server Beth and Pete were extremely friendly, smiley and knowledgeable about the food on offer. We will definitely return to try what else is on offer!

Great value and excellent quality food Staff very friendly 👌

Great service from Kate and the team. Lovely food.

Really chilled and homely atmosphere. Kind and welcoming staff. Food well presented and tasty. Service was quick and sharp. Will be dining there again in the near future

Came up to visit my Dad and his other half as I live down in Essex, they both could not speak of this place any higher. Expectations were not only met but exceeded! The lovely Farmer Kate made sure we was very well looked after, provided excellent service with a smile, made sure all of our needs were fulfilled and made us feel so welcome! She even went the extra step and put a little table decorations out for us (as it is the Autumnal Season) to make the visit that much better. Max behind the bar was also fantastic. He didn’t just serve us our drinks for the evening in a swift and precise manor, he also served us at our table and took care of desserts for us. He was funny and warming! This visit came with a big talk up but smashed the expectation out the park. Thank you to both Farmer Kate and Max for our first (but not last) visit so brilliant!

We visited tonight with family and we had a brilliant time! All the food was beautifully cooked, the service was wonderful and little Kate and Max done such an amazing job at making us feel right at home! We were over the moon with the autumnal touch of pumpkin decor on our table as well, they went the extra mile - thank you Halfway House, we can’t wait to come back!

Must be our third or fourth visit now... Lovely Steak 🥩 and Burger 🍔 and excellent, efficient service from Grace. Will definitely be back again in the future.

Just back from a lovely meal with visiting family, trying the new specials menu. Had a brilliant evening as usual thanks to the lovely "Farmer" Kate.and Max. There's always a warm welcome here, good food and friendly service. Kate as usual was on top form. Thank you for a great evening.

Great service from “The Kates”. Always a pleasure to visit here. We always highly recommend to our friend and family. Looking forward to our next visit

Excellent swift and smooth service from "`The Kate's" offering a helpful and friendly service. Food good however, overwhelmed by the size of the greens that made a good talking point :)

Breakfast was lovely, really nice atmosphere and the waitress Kate was really welcoming and friendly. Would definitely go back.

My saving grace for a week spent in a popular hotel in the area, best meal for the week!!! I ventured in on Thursday for dinner to a warm and inviting greeting by very friendly staff The food was fantastic, I had the salt and pepper squid, pork belly and apple pie with ice cream, everything tasted great and was nicely presented, the service was friendly: they made me felt as though I was a regular’. I would definitely recommend the Halfway House, and if I am ever in the area again I will definitely return. Special thanks to Kate who was helpful, friendly and engaging throughout My advice is do not have dinner at the popular hotel give this place a visit, you will absolutely LOVE IT!!!

An absolutely great place to eat. Last few times the food was out of this world. Chefs know what they're doing. Will definitely be back. Really good staff but the only - off is that you can be waiting at the bar to get served. Great with our choccy lab and Cocker. We've eaten inside(left as you go in) with the dogs and outside on the decking. See you soon.

We went for a (large) family celebration consisting of 10 adults, 4 young children and a baby. The service and the food was outstanding - the staff even left us complementary prosecco. We all would recommend this establishment and should we be back in the area we will definitely be returning.

Have eaten here a few times now and every time the service and food have been fab! Beth and Craig are really great, so friendly and very attentive. Highly recommend the apple tart :)

Came in for Sunday lunch today was delicious couldn't fault. The side I ordered on the Sunday menu (honey and mustard sauages) was 10/10 will definitely be getting those again!
