Reviews of Halfway Hotel
D. C.
I like this pub as its half way on my exercise route so I can have a few pints & finish my walk off.
All the bar staff are friendly, pleasant & helpful...beer is kept well & food is nice, honest pub grub, although a tad on the expensive side but that may be because of coming out of covid or general increase in the cost of living. Hopefully, that will get back to normal at some time in the future.
Overall a nice, friendly pub with good beer & food.

Had a great Sunday lunch, reasonably priced too. Staff were lovely and very helpful. We were able to take our two small dogs with us and when we arrived the staff had thoughtfully put out water and some biscuits for them. Only one small gripe, we had to wait 35 minutes for the food to arrive. Definitely would go again though.
M. N.
This was a lovely place to enjoy a drink and meal. Now it's great, the new manager Jade is a gem. The staff are fantastic, they are all welcoming, polite and efficient. The drinks and meals are reasonably priced. My meal was well proportioned and above average. A must place to visit more than once. You wont be disappointed. My opinion.
M. B.
Fabulous Sunday lunch with the family celebrating Easter and my nephews birthday. Stunning roast Beef dinner, best I’ve had in a long time. Definitely well worth the visit and we will without a doubt be returning.
P. B.
The staff made us feel so welcome on arrival a lovely pint of Brains SA and pino blush for the wife. We’d booked a table for Easter lunch, the roast beef dinner was delicious and the sticky toffee pudding has left me happy for the rest of the day. The best family pub in Pontcanna, great food and good beer. I’m glad we booked a table as it’s the best Sunday roast I’ve had in along time. We’ll be back again soon
J. A.
Great, friendly, service and plenty of great beers on tap. Lots of homemade dishes on the menu - can definitely recommend the cottage pie - and food was delivered quickly and was hot and delicious.
m. p.
Decent beer. Brains bitter seems to be kept well. Good, helpful staff. Nice traditional decor. Lively but not too loud.

Lovely pub booked for Sunday lunch. Booking process very easy. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was great very big portions thought I may explode after the biggest pub pudding I've ever had. Very dog friendly - water and dog treats for free brought to the table. All in all I would really recommend The Halfway as we had a lovely visit
S. H.
The staff were the epitome of customer friendly and the food was truly excellent.
Great quality, taste and portion size and at a fair price. I honestly cannot wait to return and try something else from the menu!!
T. M.
I would highly recommend this pub. Just been served by the most attentive barman Chris. Drinks were very good value. Food was amazing. The new addition the menu "The Festive Burger" is totally delicious. Will definitely be returning.
S. R.

We went to the halfway hotel for Easter Sunday dinner, food was absolutely lovely and staff were fantastic, would happily come here again and again

At the edge of Pontcanna Fields, and around 20 minutes walk from the city centre, the Halfway pub brings you a traditional food and drink selection. Situated at the top end of Cathedral Road, it provides an ideal spot to stop for a much needed refreshment. A good selection of Brains beers sold here. Worth a visit if you are in the Pontcanna area in Cardiff. Maybe more suited for adults.
G. R.
Amazing food, beef fell apart ! Excellent service too.
(I don’t like veg)

Service, food, drink & prices - excellent
v. J.
Nice little pub, but had to wait a long time for 2 side dishes. Ask after half an hour wait how much longer was told 5 mins, still had to wait over 10mins. So left a lot of food due to time restrictions. If i had been told the wait time i would of just not ordered food.
s. c.
Much better than it's been in a long time. Better staff, better food, better beer, better atmosphere all round.
D. P.
Good pub in a great location. Good pint served by chatty friendly staff. Good setting for match day, if you don't mind standing.
R. F.
Fabulous staff along with a very enjoyable and entertaining quiz! Special mention to Chris who's a fantastic host!

Great atmosphere and friendly staff who produced amazing food.

A beautiful pub in Pontcanna. Old school vibes with a fresh look. The beer is always superb here and the place is very clean. The covid measures are perfect! not too invasive but fully implemented, we felt very safe. Ordering off the brains app is so easy and helps with less contact for the staff.
The team working were brilliant and couldn't do enough to make our visit easy and relaxing. Well worth a visit!
D. M.
Always a great freindly pub, and has a bowling alley
S. A.
Very obliging friendly and professional staff lovely atmosphere and reasonable prices for so close to city centre always enjoy our rime here..

Lovey pub with realy polite staff and a quality meal
S. M.
Had a few beers in here on Saturday. Watched the end of the football and then sat outside. Tried a few different ales which were superb. Not too pricey either. Decent little courtyard out the back to sit in which catches the sun a bit. They're a dog friendly pub also. The bar staff were really friendly and helpful with directions. Would definitely come back back for a few scoops again.
P. R.
Lovely pub. Great staff
D. S.
What a lovely pub! We came to the pub Friday evening and loved every minute, the atmosphere was brilliant, the covid restrictions were implemented perfectly and the SA was fab!
Well worth a visit
D. C.
Amazing food and good selection of beer. The staff are warm and welcoming.
B. S.
Good food and very happy staff.
L. B. (.
Staff SO friendly and helpful. Food okay. Worth the price to be fair, I had 3 courses for 10.99 - except my mother's fish which seemed to be primarily batter and what parts of it were actual fish were, as she described it, "rock solid". Nice place, feels spacious. Would come back based on my experience.
A.
Nice pub, good range of beers/ ales and lots of space. There is also a little beer garden around the back.
D.
Great Sunday lunch with all the trimmings, very good beef and the roast belly pork was really good too. Good selection of beers including a few local brews, staff very friendly and accommodating. Good for children, high chairs and plenty of room
R. E.
The halfway is a nice tradition looking pub with all the modern amenities. Good drinks and food in good prices. It seems very well run and the staff are friendly and helpful. There is even an old style skittles lane that can be rented out and we had great fun playing when we went with our family. Definitely a great pub to visit. We will be returning.
T. C.
Great atmosphere,great food,a true traditional pub
D. D.
Really friendly staff. And the pub is really spacious, also amazing food and all cooked fresh.
J. F.
Typical Brains pub. One different feature is that they have a London underground like map of Brains pubs in Cardiff. An interesting feature.
B. A.
Under the new management ,this place has reverted to the pleasure hub that it was intended for ....long may it continue
A. H.
Would have had 4 stars but for the fact that we turned up bang on 5pm which is when dinner menu is advertised from and 3 of my parties original choices of food was unavailable. The food that was ordered was nice with the children's steaks cooked to perfection
A. K.
Love this place...staff are so friendly and accommodating...food is good too...would highly recommend a visit...
P.
The Halfway has been my regular for decades and should be one of the best 'real' pubs in Cardiff. Unfortunately over the last few years it has gone downhill. Since it was refurbished years ago, it has been badly managed and maintained.
Much of the fixed furniture is falling apart and the gents toilets are shockingly dirty and desperately need sorting out including new hand dryers, regular refilling the soap dispensers and loo rolls.
I haven't eaten here for a while because they always used to run out of many items on the menu.
Also, a hygiene rating of 1 doesn't inspire confidence!
Come on Brains, get your act together.
E. F.
Friendly staff, pretty chill atmosphere, usually some kind of sport on tv
W. F.
Lovely staff and lovely food
D. Y.
Pleasant enough bar with a half decent selection of ales and other drinks.
I would say this place is styled in the manner of a traditional pub rather than the more modern offerings you'll find closer to the centre of Cardiff.
Parking can be a bit of an issue although there are spaces to be found. Parking is more of an issue during the summer months.
Toilets could do with a bit of tender lover care. Failing that just a spruce up and maybe some heat. Always feels so so cold in there.
A. B.
Everything you need and expect from a pub. Tv’s need a bit of a upgrade, otherwise perfect.
J. B.
So i pop in here from time to time if i walk home as it is one the way.
It's your standard typical looking bar with a great collection of Welsh beers and a nice selection of spirits.
The seating area in side is somewhat cosy and pleasent and there is a beer garden but it's a bit naff, it's situated in a sort of court yard surrounded by the pubs building which makes it difficult to receive any signal.
10 minute walk from the town centre on quite a busy road. I you wanted to park you could either struggle to find a space on a housing street or park in the car park for the fields just opposite the pub.
A. Q.
This is a nice pub with good food and beers. Run by local brewery Brains.
No parking as such but there is car parking opposite at the entrance to the fields. Also roadside parking in nearby street but watch out for permit only areas and almost all are time limited.
C. P.
Nice quiet cozy pub and friendly staff. Good selection of beers and an old fashion bowling alley at the back.
P. H.
