We recently had my Daughters SURPRISE 18th Birthday party at the Halfway house and our service was absolutely first class. From booking, to organising right up to the night we were looked after. I left the balloons and cake etc all up that day and it was all set up for us arriving. The staff couldn't be anymore helpful, the room was lovely and the food was great. It was a brilliant night and we would highly recommend it for any function.

Amazing food, cosy atmosphere, and the best service I have seen for a long time! We went for dinner and all got roasts of some description. I would 100% recommend the gammon; excellent gravy too! The staff is where it really shines. We were helped to find a hotel nearby where the staff helped us call around. This is exceptional and we really appreciated it! Cosy fireplace is also a huge bonus

What a wonderful evening we had at the Halfway House… thank you to Diane and all of the very hard-working, kind and generous staff. I had rang to arrange a surprise big birthday for my wife and Diane was instantly incredibly helpful. We booked for 32 people to come along for a full Saturday evening meal. Diane had setup the tables and added ‘Birthday celebrations’ items to help create that party feeling. Everyone arrived and were warmly welcomed by the staff. Drinks were served to all and orders for food taken. The food arrived to each table fast and hot… fantastic! From the starter course, to the mains and also the desserts, all food was absolutely delicious. The restaurant was totally packed with many families and couples enjoying a very warm, atmospheric evening out, and yet the chefs were obviously incredibly well organised to have delivered every meal perfect and fast. We really enjoyed our evening at the Halfway House and I would highly recommend the restaurant, staff and the lovely food. I can’t thank Diane enough for how she had been so very helpful and kind - We had a wonderful evening and my wife had a fabulous birthday. Thank you.

Definitely would recommend this place for lunch. The best burger I've had in a year, and definitely better than some 5 star establishments I've ate in before. The salmon dish also went down very well. We will be calling back again for the Thursday special. The service was also excellent.

Almost 50 minutes passed from arriving at the restaurant to receiving the food. The hamburger was completely dried out and burnt on one side, the bun was supposed to be toasted, but was completely burnt on the edges. There was no dressing, nothing. We had huge cobwebs over our heads. The cleaning service should look higher than the table. And personally, I don't like the decoration made of artificial flowers at all. It looks cheap and has nothing to do with the local culture. I would rather expect it in the Balkan countries, not here. And in the end we got a wrong bill. Charged side dish that should have been part of the meal. The service was confused, either there was no one there, or all the waiters took turns there after a minute.

Called in on a Monday, it was one of the few places that was open. We arrived at 1pm with a table of 5, the staff were very helpful and the food was lovely, nothing was a bother for the staff as we stayed until 6.30, and they kept the drinks flowing as we were catching up with overseas family.

Went on a Saturday evening and it was just wonderful. The restaurant is big but it has a cozy country feel to it. The food is incredible, I got beer battered fish whilst my husband got fillet and it was on the nicest meals we have had in a while. Very reasonably priced and we would return. My only suggestion would be to have the fire lit next time ;)

Surprised how busy it was on the Wednesday night we ate here. Since most places are shut early in the week thought they must be doing something right to pull people in. The staff were very attentive, service was quick and plates were hot. Food was great, portion sizes good and reasonably priced too. Menu was varied so something for everyone. The pizza menu wasn't offered so must just be a weekend thing. All three of us enjoyed our meals, burger, pasta and roast beef dinner and will hopefully be back soon!

We stopped off at the Halfway House on our way home. My husband had a 10oz steak and I had salmon. Both dishes were very good and fairly priced. Unfortunately, a bit limited if you wanted to order zero alcohol drinks but other than that, very happy with the food, service and atmosphere. Definitely would come back and would also happily recommend to family and friends.

We were really disappointed with our experience here. We waited for over an hour to be served. My food was cold when it was served and had to be returned. My partners fish was dry. Although they replaced my dinner & the staff were apologetic, it was still disappointing. Maybe just caught them on a busy/bad day, but wouldn't wish to return any time soon. The restaurant was also cold and lots of diners ate with their coats on.
