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

Lovely food & great service in a warm friendly atmosphere

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!

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.

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!

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

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

Great meal and excellent service.

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.

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 :)

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

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!!!

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

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 down to have a drink to celebrate my Hubby Roy's birthday. Mentioned it to Kate and a brownie and ice cream appeared with a candle and a Happy Birthday rendition from Kate and Beth!! Always made welcome and always great service. Thanks ladies you made his day!! X

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!

Popped in for some after work drinks and food on a Friday night. Really good chicken and leek pie, and very efficient and friendly staff. Will definitely be back. Thanks to Kate, Max and Emma :-)

Family group of five. Best pie I've ever had. Beth was a fantastic waitress too.

Came in last night to celebrate my husbands birthday with our 2 year old Son, Kate was our server for the evening and she was a delight, greeted us with a smile and was excellent with our Son. As we were ordering our meals, our Son exclaimed he wanted carrots and without prompt Kate added those to his meal as an extra. Kate checked in with us multiple times during the evening and really. made our evening special. Our food was delicious and we will be coming back in the future.

Great pub with super efficient and friendly lady who took care of us all evening . Food was lovely and very tasty especially the pudding 😉 thank you

Best Sunday Roast I’ve had for a long time. Excellent menu and delicious food. Atmosphere lovely, comfortable and relaxed. Service second to none, Pete was extremely polite, friendly and professional. All round an excellent experience, cannot fault the place.

Had a fabulous meal as always, this time with family visiting from Essex. Service amazing, food fantastic and Kate and the team always first class and look after you with the personal touch, you're not just a punter off the street. Thank you team, can't wait to return. Roy & Sheri

Had a lovely meal here with my partner! Beth had lots of knowledge of all the gins and found a lovely pink one I loved, and my partner was very fond of the cask ales. The Belhaven Scorcher was a firm favourite of his. For food I had the special pork loin and it was absolutely delicious, partner stayed more traditional with a shepherds pie that was absolutely massive and super tasty, we were too full for pudding but will definitely be back!

Booked a table online. The server was very polite. I had the 2 courses for £16.50. The crispy squid was cooked to perfection and was delicious. The burger was amazing, cannot fault it.

Always friendly helpful staff, warm welcome on arrival, tastefully decorated and always lots to choose from off the menu. Tasty food would recommend - thanks to Kate & Gee for a great visit

Used to go here regularly and now the place has gone down hill chef doesn't care what he puts on your plate if a chefs what you can call it!!!

Brilliant Sunday lunch experience. Service from Lucy, Pete and Kate was brilliant and quick. Food was great and arrived swiftly. The ploughman’s board was absolutely amazing!! Definitely coming back soon.

Amazing service from Max, Emma & Jake thank you. We’ve had a gorgeous evening :-)

A very pleasant evening and celebration.

Nice pub, lovely staff. Unfortunately the food wasn't brilliant. I had the Sunday lunch and it was all disappointing for the money. Edit: Been again today and service & food was really good.

Popped in this evening as there was an offer on for a' Friend dines free" From the moment we walked in Kate looked after us superbly, explained the menu as to what was included in the offer. Pointed out the Special of the Day Menu which we took.Food was very nice.Peach & Brie Summer Salad with Hot Honey and Balsamic for my better half,I chose the hearty Pork loin & Bubble and Squeak, both well presented and prepared. Washed down with a couple of wine and Ales. Beth followed up with Dessert for us, Sorbet&,Ice Cream and the Apple Pie with Coconut Ice cream for me. Perfect finish to a summery afternoon on the patio dining area. Thank you Kate & Beth. How service should be performed. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lovely Chef and Brewer pub, friendly welcome and service from the team. They rang us earlier in the day to say they'd only got Beef left if we were having Sunday roast which was appreciated. All the food was excellent and really enjoyable. Lovely atmosphere and lovely decor too.

Beautiful food! Service with a smile. They couldn’t be more welcoming! Definitely recommended!!

We came here twice in one weekend whilst visiting our daughter. The meals we had on Saturday evening were delicious and the service from Pete and Liv was fantastic, nothing was too much trouble! After such a great time Saturday, we decided to try out the breakfasts they offer on Sunday morning and safe to say we were not disappointed! The food tasted fresh and was worth the money! Our server Kate also made sure we were well looked after! Will absolutely be returning!

Brilliant pub great service. Always greeted with a smile. Popped in for a drink after shopjng and Kate always remembers us and our 'usual' drinks. We always bring visitors here for a meal too.

Lovely pub restaurant, nicely decorated and friendly staff. Good selection of gastro pub food and yummy desserts. I've eaten here several times now and have never been disappointed with the food or the service. A nice outdoor seating area that would be lovely on a warm summer's evening. They also have a wedding suite and function room. Plenty of free car parking spaces.

Wonderful from start to finish, the team really made us feel welcome and the hospitality was superb throughout the visit. I ate the roasted Halibut from the specials menu and my elderly father had the Gammon steak that came with fresh grilled pineapple and an egg too, he said it was delicious! We both had a salted caramel sundae for pudding which was really tasty. We can’t wait to return to sample more of the menu, thanks to Pete, Courtney and the rest of the team for looking after us so well.

Staff was amazing especially with us bringing kids and the meals was lovely!! Can't fault at all the waitress she was great she deserves a raiseeeee

Courtney was our server and was really lovely accommodating for our 18 month

Lovely pub! Lovely food! Lovely staff! Will come again!

Friendly and professional service. The steak and ale pie was delicious. Thank you Kate and Gee. Look forward to visiting again.

Stopped for a quick breakfast, food was delicious and we were looked after by a lovely host called Beth! We will be coming back again!

My family and I go here for meals out all the time and it’s always an excellent experience! The food is hot and delicious (served quickly too) and the staff are so friendly and helpful. We were served by a kind man called Peter who ensured we had the best experience possible and was super helpful when catering to our dietary needs. We all leave smiling every time, it’s one of the greatest pubs I’ve ever been to. Service here is unmatched. Would highly recommend for any occasion!!

Has a lovely meal here today with my friend. Had a birthday voucher which we used. The food was spot on. We both had the signature burger which was enormous. It was covered in bug chunks of beef and the burger was sat on large chunks of meat. Nice staff. Lovely pub with big chunky tables and chairs. 10 out of 10 halfway house.

Great place to come on a sunny day! Lovely to sit outside on the patio and have food! Service was great, nothing was too much trouble and the food was even better! Will return for sure!

Just spent a lovely Sunday afternoon at the Halfway house, lovely food, great selection of drinks, a nice setting (though we were sat outside since it was a nice day) but mainly can I thank the staff for seeing to our every need and nothing was too much trouble. Already looking forward to our next visit.

Lovely Sunday meal today, lovely staff and service, definitely recommend

This was the location of "Halfway Auctions".When I used to come here the car park is huge and the auction was on the basement floor. It's a really big place. I'm not a boozer so I don't know if the drinks prices are any good but it's a nice place to meet.

Staff so friendly, nothing too much trouble, beautiful pub with lovely inside & outside space. We visited both 2 nights that we stayed in Balidon, first night we were looked after by Beth who was amazing and the 2nd night by Kate, Court & Jake, they were also amazing! The food is delicious and such a varied choice, if you haven't tried it already go!!!

Had a lovely Sunday lunch today with trio meats. Baked rice pudding, lovely. Well worth the money

We had a wonderful time, the food was great and Pete and Bethany were lovely and made sure we were accommodated.

Food not as good as it has been in the past

Friendly helpful staff - dealt brilliantly with my lactose intolerance- went the extra mile - fully recommend. Good food as always.

The food was delicious with several vegan and vegetarian options, could always be more. The desserts were gorgeous. The service was impeccable with a friendly smile from our waiter. Two of our party thoroughly enjoyed the Chocolate Fondant for dessert. We'd definitely come here again.

Went for an evening meal on 18th May and we thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience. We were met by Courtney the assistant manageress and were made very welcome. The food was freshly cooked and with very little waiting time. We will be back.

Absolutely fantastic the food was excellent the staff very professional and friendly we booked it for my 70th birthday for 25 guests we will definitely book again well done Courtney and thank you for looking after us kind regards Steve and Anne Jarrett Seaham Durham

Great food and quick service with kind waiters, will come again

Good food. Good hand pulled beers. friendly staff

Lovely roast, really nice staff and were really attentive! Beth made sure we were well looked after, would really recommend this place.

Sunday dinner shocking, took ages to come out and was flat cold! Including the Sunday sides of cauliflower cheese and sausages. The dinner itself was a small portions with about 3 small roast roast potatoes that where very pale in colour and on the inside almost like powder as they where so dry…. The food tasted and looked like it had been sat there for a long time. The Yorkshire puddings literally broke into dust as you tried to cut them! Worst Sunday dinner I’ve had. Wont be coming back

Had a lovely Sunday dinner. Great service, friendly staff and will return.

Food was excellent as was the service. Comfortable, clean seating areas. Pub has good sized car park.

Only called in for a pint of ale, which was expensive, £15.30 for 3 pints. We only stayed for one round.

Came here for lunchtime birthday treat. Staff, ambience (open fire) and food all really lovely.

Lovely place to come for a meal. Lots of parking, lovely bar & restaurant, great food and service 😋

Had a fantastic time! We waited a while for food because of an influx of larger parties, however everyone serving us was lovely, they made sure we were kept updated from Kitchen and it was a good job we waited. The food was gorgeous. We got served by Courtney (the assistant manager), Pete and Georgia. Fantastic service, will be back again!!

Wow excellent place atmosphere decor friendly staff and service
