The Halfway Inn in Eastleigh

A nice place for a no frills meal, especially the Sunday roast. However every time we have to remind them that the roast should have mash potato as well as roast potatoes as they normally don't put mash on the plate.

Nice little pub in the middle of Fryern shops. Small free car park with plenty of outdoor seating. Very friendly staff. Tables still cleaned after each use which is a nice touch. Seating area outside is proving very popular. Can get busy Friday lunchtimes.

Beautiful food at vert reasonable prices. Staff were friendly too.

Can't get better bar staff, make you feel welcome.

I had eaten here in the past, and had found it pleasant, reasonably priced, and altogether satisfactory. I doubt I will go back. I waited at a table for some time, before trying to attract the attention of one of the waitstaff. I was then told, rather peremptorily, that I should have gone to the bar to order. OK. Put that one down to house rules. I ordered, from the Seniors' Menu, the tomato soup, with bread and butter, and the scampi, chips and peas. The soup was fine, but I had expected something rather more than one half slice of white bread. When the main course arrived, it consisted of FIVE pieces of scampi and NINE, albeit rather large, chips, with some peas. As food, this was fine. As a portion, it was stingy. They don't do coffee. Pity.

Visited with my family over the weekend! Food was very nice and hot! Staff were very friendly and helpful with assisting my 96 year old grandma. Would definitely return

Parking can be a problem but good atmosphere.

The bar staff were friendly The 4 meals came out separately The first meal had been eaten by the time the last meal came out Greasy steak was replaced by another greasy steak Very disappointed as it is a very friendly local pub A friend who was also dining there, had the same experience and was told that the chef wasn’t preparing orders as they came in, but was completing them randomly. Very disappointed. However, the drinks, wine etc are a good price.

Been here once previously, always a great welcome. A great Green King pub with good value meal deals, a good range of drinks and all the staff are helpful and welcoming.

Great pub, great atmosphere, spot on food, table of 6 came out at the same time, all food hot.

I have been here a few times, and the last 2 times the food standards has dramatically dropped. Oil pouring out of the burger and the oven chips cooked to death and turned to crispy husks that each and everyone of them was full of a pool of oil. So much so I only ate quarter of it. This has been both times now. I am considering going elsewhere.

A good meal for 2 on the classic meal deal for £11.99. This is a Greene King pub we have been to once before and they have a good range of both food and drink. Both my wife and I again had the Fish & chips with large cut chips, peas, tartare sauce. The meal was hot and came out quite quickly after ordering. The staff where polite & very helpful and the pub clean & tidy. I will definitely try this pub again the next time I am in this area.

Nice food, friendly smile, cheerful laughter and comfortable seats make it a good place for gathering !

Good laughs, good vibes and Brooke is a legend

Amazing atmosphere and brilliant service from brooke

Had a great lunch. Lovely friendly welcome and excellent service from Hannah and her colleague. Food was great and good value for money.

Had an excellent lunch today. Lovely friendly welcome and great service from Hannah and her colleague. Great value for money and delicious food.

After waiting 15 mins to be served in an empty pub it was nearly £8 a pint. Staff were complaining about having to cook food.

Where is the cod in the menu?????

We had a family lunch, food was good pub grub. Good service attentive servers, sensible prices Would I visit again? Yes I would.

Decent boozer, clean n well presented

Went in the late afternoon. Didn't have 4 of the meals we wanted. The food we had was very mediocre

Came here last night with some friends, it had a great atmosphere the food was quick and hot! Great value Would highly recommend to friends

Recently moved to Chandlers Ford, popped in for a bite to eat and so my partner could watch the football. Friendly staff and really nice food, sure we will be back :)

I went to the halfway inn as it was recommended me from a friend, the food is lovely and so are the staff members, really enjoyed my stay there

Did not eat here but the place was clean and good service and friendly.cheers

Excellent food and great service

Had Christmas diner here yesterday. The staff are amazing and the food was even better. Thank.

Great little pub. Always enjoy coming here for a drink and food

Great value meals and relaxing atmosphere.

Great welcome on way to Southampton to watch Cardiff city play

Lovely place and a very good pint thank you

It's just our absolute favorite pub!♡♡♡♡♡ friendliest staff and love the food

Nice and simple little unassuming pub. Genuine service with a smile. Good food and drink at great prices.

Very disappointing & extremely frustrating, having carefully booked a table for 2 for a Festive Lunch on 28th November 2023at the Halfway Inn, via the link button on the Festive Fare Menu page of the Greene King web site we could not have a the Festive Lunch! We arrived looking forward to a Festive Lunch but were told that we could not have food from the Festive Fare Menu as our choice of the Festive Menu was not shown on the pub computer & we had not pre selected our choice of food. There is obviously a problem with the communication between the Greene King web site and the staff in the pub! At no stage during the booking process were we asked for our choice of food before arriving at the pub or for a deposit. There being nothing on the standard pub walk in menu we left with out having a drink or meal and took our business elsewhere.

Great food and clean restaurant

Lovely pub with friendly staff and locals. Food is always good with better sized portions and price, compared to most other Green King restaurants. Only let down is the price and upkeep of the pool table but all else makes up for this slight negative

Complete and utter rude staff. Me and my work colleague came around 11 we just wanted a drink however a women was staring a us waiting for us to get out of the car and then pretty much barked at us shouting this is private parking you can’t park here ! Even though we said we were coming in ! She was extremely rude and completely put us off so we decided to go else where due to her. I understand you have people who park there due to the shops but give costumers an actual chance to get out of the car before shouting or perhaps kindly asking ( it’s not hard ) You guys are gonna lose a lot of custom is this so called ‘women’ keeps doing this . Please take this into consideration Because I nor my colleague and i’m guessing a lot of others due to her will never return here. Much better places where else !

Our Scooter Group ( South Hants Harriers Scooter Group) Did a ride out here (17th oct) brilliant food quality. Nice staff. Good prices. Seemed like a brilliant pub and with decent staff and value for money. And went here to see the live singer on friday 20th october. Who was brilliant and should be re booked again. Only small negative is that would be good if they updated their website/ facebook page with updated events/ music. Other than that pretty good boozer

Good value for money food selection, quick service and overall quiet pub. Well lit and TV screens dotted about to watch sport.

We booked a table for dinner, the lady who was at the bar when we arrived was busy and only 1 other member of staff on duty, so they were struggling to provide good service. Often nobody behind the bar, one of the ladies certainly didn’t seem to want to be there, fortunately the other lady was lovely, she gave us a perfectly timed check back, and managed to smile too. Our table was clean, menus could have done with a wipe though. Music is a bit loud, it wasn’t very busy when we were there, we had difficulty having a conversation because the speaker was so loud, not a great atmosphere. Fortunately the food quality made up for the environment. Most bizarre there’s no starters on the menu. I really fancied a prawn dish (prawn cocktail, tempura prawns etc), burnt ends, satay chicken, ribs, etc would have been nice. Corned beef hash slice was delicious, very tasty gravy as well. Hunter’s Chicken was scrumptious, perfect topping, moist chicken, fabulous chips too. Pity about the random lettuce leaf and unpleasant coleslaw (tasted like it was from a tin). The all day breakfast was good, however, the bacon was rather fatty and undercooked, and there were no mushrooms. Toilets were very clean. The food was reasonably priced, nice sized portions, and overall a good standard. We would eat here again, but not at a time it’s likely to be busy, understaffing means a long wait. Nobody cleared our table after we finished, and we were sat there for over half an hour watching the miserable member of bar staff eat, sat on a table near us. I guess it was too much to expect her to remove our plates before she took her break, pity. Beware the very expensive drinks! A glass of wine was nearly £9! You can get a decent bottle at retail prices for £6.

If you are looking for a cosy and family friendly place to eat in Chandlers Ford, Eastleigh please come and eat here.

Visited a few times recently and never been disappointed with the food or service. Good value eats and large choice of food

Food ok shortage of staff appalling one girl working again in own and she was very unhelpful not first time food good value

We went in mid afternoon to eat. A good atmosphere with sport on the big screens. Lively but not rowdy. Bar staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. Ordered food and drinks from the bar. Good fast service and the food was well cooked, tasty, well presented and very good value. Staff checked on us without being obtrusive. A really positive experience.

We both had a lovely lasagne, garlic bread and salad. It came piping hot and was delicious. They were prompt in serving and attentive and it was a relaxed atmosphere.

Great service Food was quick and tasted good. Good Pub grub, no complaints!

Lunch time Saturday. Waited 40 mins for food. My fish and chips medley was over cooked, batter dark and hard and fish dry. Pity really, as the pub had a pleasant atmosphere. Shame also that the very pleasant barman was working hard on his own but meant we had a wait to order.

First visit here and the food and staff were excellent. Good food at affordable prices. Will definitely go back

Senior Menu but not Senior friendly. 88 year old with two sticks and a 91 year old colleague told “We do not serve tap water, you get it from the bar. I will get it today but do not ask for service again”. The restaurant side was completely empty at 12.10pm so she was not run off her feet.

Really nice food for the price 😋😋 Lovely and clean 👍 Hanna the manager was lovely 😁 came over and ask if we enjoyed our meal

A lovely lady called Hannah servered us, and was friendly and helpful when I had some questions about the menu. It was a quiet time of the day, but I noticed how clean and tidy the bar was, even the pool table looked tidy, great experience and look forward to visiting this pub again.

Always friendly service and the pensioners menu is incredible value.

Stopped for lunch here with some friends and the food and service was amazing. Food was quick and hot! Great value for money with the 2 for 10.99 deal!! Will definitely been returning

It’s a quiet evening, but the crowd seem friendly and the staff are very polite.

Just moved to the area and visited this pub with my wife and dog for an early dinner and a couple of pints on our first night. Pleasantly surprised how welcoming the staff were. Great selection of food which arrived promptly and tasted lovely. I think I've found my new local!!!

A big Thank you to Holly and the bar staff for looking after us. For such goo value, the food was great and well presented (aimed at my son who was amused) I have to say, I have been going here on and off for years and certainly fealt more at home there than ever. Thank you guys.

Class visit geeza with the beard was top class and had a lovely time. Definitely coming back soon 👍

Great food comes hot as you would like it. 10/10 for the chef. Service if you dont want your dinner half on your self and half on table.then dont go there.went sunday early evening had 2 fish n chips. Mine was served by a sloppy waiteress. Tilting the plate towards me .with it going on my jeans and some on the table .i was asked how many chips did i lose 🤨😮‍💨.i was given a fresh tarta sauce. A sorry and that was it .so had to pick up chips off table and eat them .i have been there before .but would not step inside there again

Good food & service excellent Sunday roast

Sunny lunchtime visit, decent veggie burger, many options. Had the Grand Prix on the screens but sound down, so you could watch if you wanted but wasn't intrusive. Patio garden with tables and good large umbrellas, roadside rather than green grass but pleasant enough. Service was great, friendly helpful suggestions on menu choices.

It’s gone down hill a lot recently. The pints don’t taste anywhere nearly as nice as they used to and the tables don’t get cleaned properly. I didn’t say anything out of politeness but the staff also charged me incorrectly so probably won’t be going again. They also had the habit of consistently screaming at people who used their car park, even when there were plenty of spare spaces.

Great place to watch live football and to have a coilke of pints in the week. Cheesy chips were OK too.

went last night hoping to watch football.As local team was was playing on tv I was not very hopeful of watching another game Asked the landlady and she said I can split the screens. very happy with the service,beer and food excelent in a extremely clean pub will certainly return

Good clean venue with a healthy selection of drink, nice food and friendly staff. there is plenty of sports on show.

Ok pub although there was no hand wash and loo roll in the ladies toilets

Always a pleasure, great people, great atmosphere, lovely food! Just a great all round boozer...and it's got a pool 🎱 table 👍

Great staff, very welcoming atmosphere. Staff is always in a good mood and even if you are not a regular or a local they will treat you as if they known you for a long time.

Really nice pub very friendly staff

Really warm atmosphere and welcome from friendly staff . Seniors 2 course lunch at £5.49 is an absolute bargain. Nice choice on menu and delicious food. Nicely presented, perfect portion sizes and such good value. Water dispenser on bar nice touch. Highly recommend...Will definitely visit again. Will definitely visit again and

Dropped in for a drink before heading to a restaurant. Not a pub for a quiet drink and a chat, but if you like shouting and watching football whilst listening to loud music this is the place for you

We came in mid afternoon for two seniors meals, both were well cooked and appetising, pub was clean, staff pleasant and helpful....well done! We shall be in again

Excellent food, great value for money.

The service is awful. Sorry but it is true.

Lovely atmosphere good service and great food most of all food was hot. Highly recommend value for money.

Very good value for money,quick service friendly staff. Food excellent

Unfortunately we went I to this pub for lunch yesterday and ordered 2 steaks for lunch. They were so dry , tough and unedible. When we mentioned it to the waitress she said. Oh right it isn't our fault. It is the butcher where we...

We always get excellent service and food here . Our hunters chicken was not as hot as we thought it should be last week and we were straight away offered it changed but we said it would be ok . So after our meal we were offered a free coffee to say sorry, which we also said no to but how nice was that to be immediately offered . Great customer service and Hannah was the server who was so helpful

Had 3 course Christmas dinner. Food plentiful, delicious and well presented. Atmosphere was great. Staff friendly yet professional. Would definitely recommend to anyone even if just popping in for a drink.

The lady whom served was lovely but had no milk for coffee or hot chocolate. We were not told for a good five minutes they have to run to the shops first. When they told us it was not long after. She was trying her best. Setting was ok. People friendly.

Dear Halfway Inn I don't know how you only got one star when I meant you to have five! My friend and I were passing, pulled in and had OAP two course meals, thumping good value, and pudding was crumble and custard. Top that! Friendly staff and clientèle.

First time there for Christmas Dinner. Not disappointed. My steak was yummy. My wife loved her turkey and our friend Stuart said the sprouts and brocoli were hard and under cooked. Drinks were reasonable priced. Overall a good experience. Well done the chef and staff for making our Xmas dinner yummy.

Very nice and fresh food worth the wait

Once again another lovely meal at this pub. This time visited on a Friday evening. Place was busy but still managed to get a table. Staff were once again superb, really went out of their way to accommodate a request. Food arrived quickly and really...

I like this place, honest pricing & busy. Says alot when you walk in. £2.49 for a pint of IPA. Wished I could stay all weekend!

Visited over lunch time on a Wednesday and the service was fabulous. Really friendly staff and the food was great, good sized portions and tasted lovely. Will visit again.

Just been in for a lovely lunch time meal with some old friends and the service was fabulous. Food was good and a decent portion to fill you up. Would definately return.

What a great place this is. Good vibe, good staff (Angie is great) and ace food. What’s not to like, if I’m ever in this part of the world again I’m coming here.

Good food, mushroom and ale pie was lovely

Very chill establishment went with some friends and enjoyed the experience

Visited at lunchtime three days running as we were visiting a sick relative nearby. So glad we found this place as not being locals we needed somewhere to rest up and recharge our batteries! The food was tasty and good value and our orders arrived...

First visit and hopefully many more to come. Warm welcome , first rate service, lady running bar and restaurant (Angie ) really good at her job , didn’t wait long to be served . Food was first class, ,drinks spot on. Will definitely be going...

We visited tonight for the first time after my mother in law became a resident in.a local care home. The staff were very friendly and the food was perfect. We will definitely be visiting again.

Always lovley helpful staff myself and friend had a well cooked lovley meal great choices fare price too very clean staff always clearing tables and wiping down can't fault well worth a visit recommend

Have visited this place a number of times and it consistently delivers well-cooked competitively priced meals in a clean and friendly environment. Well worth a visit.

Because of a change in circumstances we have been going to this pub on a regular basis since Feb of this year and we have never been disappointed. We were made welcome by staff and other customers, who are now friends, and now go there...

amazing staff members super nice and helpful when our friend had one too many to drink and nice drinks

Charlie and Hayley were amazing and great servers. We had great drinks at a great price with great service

Very friendly, especially when a friend had a few too many. Helped clean the mess and where generally very nice
