“We took advantage of the free camper van accommodation in the secluded field behind the pub for the 3rd Wednesday Music night. The staff and locals are all very friendly and we were asked to sing! We enjoyed an enormous Lasagne for £15 and excellent real ales (two on pump) at £4-20/Pt. So glad we found this gem of a pub. An excellent evening and we will be back."
“We had a lovely Sunday lunch here. It’s a beautiful rural pub with a cosy atmosphere and very friendly staff."
“My wife and I had dinner here and it was lovely. Rhiannon and Jason were incredibly friendly, and the food was superb. Highly recommended if you're ever in the area!"
"One of the best Sunday lunches I’ve had for years. Lashings and lashings of gravy and the meat was so tender."
"The Halfway is an absolutely lovely pub and restaurant. I can see why this is a haunt for locals — the atmosphere is cozy and the staff and landlords are incredibly welcoming. Upon learning that we were visiting the area to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday, they brought out a pavlova and a celebratory paper cake. It was just very thoughtful and special!"
Sunday Lunch
Meat from local farms and suppliers, seasonal vegetables plus lashings of gravy. Yorkshire puddings are a local favourite and the cauliflower cheese is a homemade speciality. During the summer months we also serve our very popular Ploughman's lunch on Sundays. Tuck in with your friends and family.
