The Halfway House in Dacorum

Friendly staff good selection of drinks

Great pub, nicely laid out, very friendly, my type of pub, shame I don't live local, but will definitely go back

Lovely pub in the heart of bovingdon. A place where locals and visitors to the village are made to feel more than welcome for the landlady Tina. Iv been coming here for 8 months since I moved to the area and was instantly made to feel welcome. To summerise a lovely pub reasonably if not cheap drinks and a lovely landlady to boot

Let's hope the new owners do a better job.

Jacob is the heart and soul of this pub. Always welcomes with a smile and creates a great atmosphere.

No food served. Great sports bar though.

Went there with a local mate of mine while I visiting from the US. Great pub, good drink.

The most friendliness pubs I ever been in we was is a family gathering

It's always nice to have a drink in the Halfway House, good banter always abounds there.

Was welcomed as I had been there for the first time. Service was excellent excellent hospitality and friendly people to pop in for a ice cold beer and play pool and darts lovely atmosphere.

Good atmosphere and local people are great

Poor chioce of real ales only had green king ipa.

Fantastic little boozer. As a person that isn't from the area, the lady on the bar (Debbie) made me feel very welcome. If you pass through the area or live local, do pop in. Thank you

Friendly village pub with pool table. Limted choice of drinks and no food.

Good screens for the football. Nice friendly locals pub

Great place to watch football, big screens, great selection of drinks

Went here earlier for lunch …was told not serving food …..especially when it says in the website food served Wednesday …to Saturday …not good

Wasnt to happy with service, I wanted a gin and tonic, no ice and the tonic was warm, couldn't drink it, told a member of staff said she get ice but she went off texting on her phone which she made obvious we could see her,shame really as it was a lovely cozy pub..

This where to go for value beer and lager. TV's everywhere for the sport. Forget the food. Stick to srisps.

Lovely pub. Great for families. Great pool table aswell if that's your thing. I visit regularly.

Strange pub. There's a prison down the road and they don't serve food or coffee, so they're losing out on a lot of regular business. The place was void of atmosphere seeing as it was virtually empty at lunch time. The barmaid was keeping herself amused by giving the books on display a good wipe over, and that was the highlight of our visit. Will not be going there again in a hurry.

Local pub with football on TV, darts and pool. Sadly no food offering

It's a lovely big looking old pub and Ive always wanted to go in there, so tonight we decided to go check it out , me & my boyfriend walked in to check out the pub for a future booking. And as we looked around the landlady asked me if I was Alright in a intimidating voice and I said "ignore me, we are just looking around" And she said "excuse me" She made me feel so uncomfortable, I left straight away from the very cleaky pub. Which is a shame but i will not be going back.

Gets a decent crowd once in a while. Quite cliquey which I'm not a fan of. Not a place you'd want to take your partner for food or a drink. Very quite and dull most of the time. 1* because it does sell alcahol

Under New Management! Greeted with a smile and great atmosphere. Very friendly and will return again for sure!!

Great beer, friendly service 👍👍👍👍

No App, Landlady was on her own and pub is no longer Greene King, so she might be a relief Manager. But she was pretty efficient. A little bossy, which some people didn't like.

For Saturday afternoon very quiet pub, clean inside and out, large carpark at rear.

Not bad for drinks, but if you want a great meal pop in to Mel’s Diner nextdoor.

Loved it, cheap. But needs more for kids

Cheap place to eat and drink here

Just a notification to the drinking public that as from last week (mid March 2018), the pub has metamorphosised into one owned by the Green King brewery of Bury St Edmunds. They brew many fine ales but I believe they have a similar food menu across all their pubs. This is something I found out when I had a brewery tour there in early March 2018. Please LIKE if you found this review helpful, thank-you.

Food was brilliant and the desert that was amazing five stars

Just stopped in for a quick drink and bite to eat as we were over that way to visit family. Such a cosy little place and so good to have a down-to-earth menu. Like pubs used to be. Recommend it for couples and families who want a cosy, happy atmosphere and a relaxed drink.

Recently refurbished looks good. But still doesn't do food

Nice pub.showing football enjoyable pint

Very poor service, the glasses weren't cleaned, drunk men getting naked, all drinks tasted watery 0/5

The pub was looking a little worn out faded and in need of some care and attention. Now it certainly looks better, serves cocktails, has a huge variety of spirits,and televisions covering all the sports events not forgetting a pool table.

Good atmosphere well done ray. pub looks great.

Community local with good service

Local pub in the village of bovingdon.

Good atmosphere good service, clean, excellent parking and reasonable value for money

Spacious establishment with friendly staff. Pleasant beer garden.

Got bovingdon market up the road. Has a look table and a nice family friendly garden.

Very rude. Instead of asking me to leave, manager shouted at me to 'Get out with that child!' Because I was in the pub just after 8pm with my 8 week old baby. I was not drinking alcohol and baby was asleep, away from the bar so not causing any fuss.

The Halfway House in Bovingdon is one of only two pubs remaining in the village, from the original five pubs that were here many years ago. The pub has seen many changes over the years and now presents itself as a local in the village with it's claim to fame as the venue for live sports. For those without sports channels on TV, it is the perfect place to meet with friends and watch live sport with a few pints.

It is not a good place anyone as they have stopped serving food.!!

A great local with very friendly bar staff🍺😀

Great friendly old fashioned local, my new local will be back again very soon.

Great place to go for an after work drink, but last week they unfortunately lost a valuable asset and a great character in Chloe, so doubt I'll be in there as much.

A bit grim, not the most salubrious of establishments it has all the charm of a mouldy flannel. The music was at the volume of excruciating pain to the ear drums the carpet is very sticky and the larger offer is very limited. I wouldn't avoid this place but it is the last chance saloon.

Nuevo cátering no durará mucho tiempo. Me he dejado ya. Así que no llegan esperando una comida. Ofertas comida especial ya no anuncian fuera.

Good old village pub atmosphere

Un salto en el camino de vuelta del mercado, tomamos una copa en el jardín fresco precioso pub muy fría podría haber quedado todo el día

Nobody in the restaurant when we arrived. Eventually a member of staff in a scruffy tee shirt appeared and said beef or chicken roast only today. We ordered and were served by a young lady with ripped jeans who had clearly never been taught how to serve at table.

"Mitchell's Kitchen" recently opened up in house. Extensive Menu, including 2 course lunch for £9. Kid's Menu £4.99. Steaks, ribs, burgers and chicken from the Grill. Sunday lunch 2 courses £11.99 or 3 for £13.99. Kid's Sunday roast at £4.99 should be popular. This gastro pub is coming back, and they are trying hard. Expect fruit machines, TV's, kids and dogs. A value pub for the family.

Popped in for a drink whilst in the area, obviously a popular local pub and big on sport. They also serve food which from what I saw looked acceptable. Not a place I will rush back to I'm afraid.

This is an OK place - seemingly under different management every couple of months. You will get a good pint, but the grub - whilst usually great value - is really nothing special. TV's everywhere if you want to watch sport.
