This place is my local, and due to that I come here as often as I can. Myself, my fiancée and my dog have enjoyed every time we've had food here and the staff are always professional but friendly and do everything they can to help. The food is always great both the Sunday lunches and standard menu. One of the few (but growing list of) restaurants that are dog friendly in the area. They also offer takeaway and delivery services which is great as there is no delivery fee for my street :)
Went to this place as it was recommended, would NEVER go again. Pub itself is lovely and warm however, I ordered a medium rare steak, the steak was over cooked, when I told the staff they took the steak back, just for them to come back and tell me that it is medium rare, had every excuse of the staff as to why there is no blood or pink, the first girl said there’s no blood because it’s been left standing second girl said it is pink it’s the lighting. The chef demanded that I pay for the steak and if I want another he would charge me twice. Absolutely disgusting never ever had to argue with a chef and the staff before. Ended up leaving the pub having not eaten. Seriously don’t waste your money eating here go to the Darren down the road in risca steak cooked to perfection and staff are delightful.
First time visiting The halfway house for a family get together and Sunday lunch. The food was outstanding and plenty of it too and the staff are very polite and helpful. Won't be the last time we visit for a family get together. Thanks to the staff for a lovely Sunday afternoon
Fabulous Mother's Day lunch, all 7 of us thoroughly enjoyed all 3 courses. Very tasty food and plentiful and the staff were great. 5* from us x
Nice Pub tucked out of the way. Had a very old school feel to the place which i loved. Place was busy ( Always a good sign) service was good and the variety on offer was perfect. Also a nice outside area with plenty of seating. The parking was the only thing that really let the experience down.

Wanted somewhere local to eat but fancied something really tasty to eat. The halfway was perfect! Warm, welcoming, cosy pub. The girls who served us were lovely. Sky took our order and gave amazing table service, nothing was too much trouble for her. I had chicken and garlic mushrooms, wow, it all looked homemade and tasted like my mams cooking. My partner had a sirloin and it was melt in your mouth! We will definitely make this a regular place to eat!
This is our 1st time to stay here it was basic but very clean we had a few minor glitches but they were quickly resolved we would have given 5 stars but owing to the fact that there was nobody on site we couldn't give the 5 stars sorry guys
