Reviews of The Halfway House
M. C.
Came in today to taste the new menu and it was spectacular! The food was amazing, the lady who served us Cathy was lovely, always asking us about drink refills and the man behind the bar mark always had a smile on his face, the staff in here are nothing but friendly, thank you halfway!
B. M. c.
Plenty of space to eat, the out door area is nice as well, as it was a warm night it was good to have a choice where to sit.
The Fish, chips sweet potato fries with peas and and an extra side of salad was absolutely lovely very hot and crisp. Some times sweet potato fries in other places can be a bit soft , the ones I was served were hot and crisp as was the fish, the side salad was very tasty.
Cathy the server was very attentive, friendly and hard working , nothing was to much trouble.
The bar staff were very friendly
We Will definitely be returning.
Thank you.

Visited the Halfway House for a family meal with a party of 17. Although we hadn’t booked we were sorted with tables next to each other and every effort was made to accommodate us all. The staff were excellent, nothing was too much trouble for them, especially our waitress with the dark hair(sorry didn’t catch her name).
Food was nice and very reasonably priced too. Decor is very good and there’s plenty of space between tables if you’ve got children with you who get a bit restless and want to walk about a bit. Overall a good pub, great staff and nice food! Also has the footy on and an outside area with tables!
O. D.
Foods OK, looks better than it tastes, but bland, big portions, chicken bit dry, tasteless, chicken platter with no chicken wings. No butter for corn on cob.
Pints are nice, staff friendly, lovely decor and set up.. Great for watching the food all, tvs are really clear.. Cooks let this place down ..
S. B.
Had our tea here tonight, absolutely lovely food (all hot and fresh) at a great price. Great atmosphere & staff were brill! Thank you so much to Kathy, she was absolutely great🥰 Booked a large party to come back next week for a birthday meal! So happy to find somewhere great at a cheap price point🤩
M. G.
Since the Halfway House started serving food again, it has been our regular eatery and has never disappointed in delivering quality food and excellent service.
The service from the staff is absolute top-quality, notably Cathy, who is never seen without a smile or a friendly word or two while she looks after her customers, even when it is busy. Another pleasant evening - thanks, guys.
M. D.
We had a lovely family meal tonight, quite a few of us, with lots different requests, everything arrived as asked, nothing too much trouble. Cathy, the waitress is always so lovely, friendly and efficient. Great local pub.
J. M.
Changed hands. New owners. They've worked hard to improve the interior. Only stopped for a quick drink during a walk. Started outside in the garden then moved in doors. Really nice feel to the place. Will be back.
e. l.
Wonderful place and lovely friendly staff including the attentive service and warm welcome from Kathy throughout. Would recommend as a place for groups or those having a quiet peaceful meal by themselves as I did. Had a delightful little few hours there and would come again and again!
G. D.
My hubby and I have just had the pleasure of our dinner in this homely and friendly pub. Food was cooked to perfection and the lady who served us Kathy was polite and friendly. Highly recommend a visit. Will be going back
K. B.
Booked for a late lunch with my aunty and grandad who has mobility issues. Food was great but the service was amazing.
Cathy could not have done more for us, despite being on her own serving several large tables she gave a personalised and warming service which went above and beyond.
Will be returning not just for the food but for Cathy’s exemplary service.
P. H.
First time here and will certainly not be our last. One of the best experiences of customer service I have had in a pub for a long time. Cathy was fantastic, attentive & couldn't do enough for us & arranged my auntie's cake 😊. Food was spot on too highly recommend & thankyou
J. S.
This place has improved massively over the years. It used to be quite run down,but we were warmly welcomed by lovely staff, into a pleasantly decorated place. The bar staff were very helpful, the food was ok but the restaurant service was superb, inpartiticular, Kathy. Thank you for a very enjoyable evening.
A. R.
Lovely night as usual at Halfway House Woolton, Lewis the waiter couldn’t do enough for us. The food was lovely, Marie the manager absolute gem for finding us a table see you again soon
M. P.
Bar staff were attentive, but I was disappointed in a few things. The Pepsi tasted like soap, the burger that should have had onion rings on it did not come with said onion rings, and it took about 25 minutes to bring out 2 desserts.
Underwhelming is the word.
G. G.
Nice to go to for a pint. Staff very nice and attentive. Food not great, passable at best. Dont to forget to register your vehicle on the key pad at the bar - one of those rip off car parks.
Will go again,just for drinks.
J. M.
Good food at a very reasonable price, the staff are lovely there are just not enough of them. The one waitress that was serving was just lovely.
Z. B.
Recently visited and our server was Cathy, she was the only one waiting on tables the pub restaurant was very busy and she handled this perfectly our food was hot and served in a timely manner very happy with our experience and Cathy deserves a Pat on the back for her hard work!
T. W.
Visited the Halfway House yesterday, not having been there for a while.
We where really impressed with the new look inside and out .
On entering the premises , we where quickly seated by a lady called Kathy at the rear of the building by a large window which flooded the room with natural light and a view outside .
The food was hot and tasty , exactly the way you'd want it to be.
When ordering our food we explained to Kathy that if possible could we just order some starters , then the mains afterwards . Thats not a problem she replied.
So a big thumbs up to the halfway house and a big Shoutout to Kathy (Cathy) very attentive.
R. B.
Lovely meal and our waitress Cathy was so lovely and welcoming, would highly recommend and we will definitely come back, thank you 🙂
E. D.

S. W.
Love this place. Friendly staff and good food and ale. Will be back.
P. G.
Went to this place for the first time in nearly forty years. Was very disappointed, much of its character has gone, just a generic food chain pub now.
D. W.
It was quiet when I visited so the service was efficient and there were plenty of places to sit. I recommend the Chieftain IPA - a very easy drinking ale.
S. H.
Lovely place, great for a family meal,
Nice for just the 2 of you, or even with the lads to watch the game good all round pub
D. W. g.
Thank you very much food was very nice and the whole team do you proud kayleigh and Pablo always make time to talk to us and have everything we need. Food was tasty and hot also got us a nice spot for the football as the bar was full up with regulars moaning about the sound being to loud if this was liverpool playing its a whole different story. You have to take into account that other people want to come out and watch games. They need to stop putting pressure on the staff as its not fair on them to be made to feal awkwardness. Anyway thanks for getting us moved to the snug and all worked out for the best I will be phoning up to book the tables I require in the sports bar and I feel like I'm becoming a regular now and enjoy my time in the pub
Well done staff for doing your best 👌
J. W.
I order a salad with bacon and chicken which was very tasty. My husband had the gammon with egg and for dessert a cheesecake with cream which he enjoyed. Waiter very attentive could'nt fault service and to top it all reasonably priced.
A. H.
My favourite family friendly local pub. Since Marie and Paul have taken over with Sizzling brewery, the Halfway House has become the best pub in the area.
And to top it off they serve quality tasty pub food. The peri peri chicken skewers are delicious and even quite healthy. The pub bites and sides are very tasty and perfect if your having a drink and don’t want to get too full.
Atmosphere is friendly, warm, cosy and inviting. Nice customers, mostly from the local area. We are very lucky to have such a nice pub to call our local.
Thank you to all the Halfway House staff 😊👏🏼
j. j.
Service was very good and staff were very helpful and friendly
G. F.

P. B.
Much improved since it became a sizzler pub food Is good

T. M.
Beautiful food great service! Will definitely return
S. H.
Went the halfway house today with my husband, first time we have been out since before the first lockdown. Was really nice to get out for the day and the service was exceptional, Natalie was really helpful and kept our drinks topped up. Food was outstanding I didn’t expect to get such wonderful food from a pub lunch. Hopefully be back soon and in warmer conditions Thankyou
A. M.
Came yesterday for some after a long time waiting it was good to get out the food was nice and friendly team. Paul was nice to chat to and went out of his way to get us some drinks. Garden is well managed we felt safe. Will be back in the week weather permitting 🙂
E. W.
Visited tonight Cathy r watrees nothing to much trouble and enjoyed our meals once again thanks Cathy
T. H.
Enjoyed a lovely meal and a few drinks with friends last night. The whole pub has been renovated to a high standard and the food was excellent. Good social distancing in place, which is more than I can say for some other pubs in the area. The service was excellent and friendly and our waitress, Catherine, couldn't do enough. Will definitely come back.
S. S.
I was really impressed, it was lovely. The food was delicious and our server Catherine was really nice and helpful. Can't wait to return for a girls Christmas night out
A. H.
Really nice pity about one of the staff likes listening to her own voice miss important
L. W.
The atmosphere was nice, staff friendly, just thought the lasagne I had was A little under par, had a strange taste, my friend had fish and chips, and she had to remove all if the batter as it was soggy, and full of fat 😔 but it was two meals for £7.00
T. S.
Amazing staff and great food and service everytime
M. H.
Fantastic food, great beers, staff were very polite helpful and welcoming. Dinning area was very clean and tidy, definitely recommend a visit 👌
S. R.
My partner and I had the golden years menu ,it was very good value would highly recommend.The reason 4 stars and not five stars was because service was slow.
J. B.
We enjoyed the food and as it was warm and sunny we had a nice table outside. We were made so welcome from Catherine who served us , nothing was too much trouble for her . Will definitely be visiting again .
S. A.
Cathy makes your visit. She is professional, friendly and goes out of her way to ensure that you enjoy your visit. Meals are delicious, great prices and all Covid precautions are in place and adhered to.
S. W.
Lovely food, attentive staff.
C. A.
Our waitress Catherine served our party containing very elderly people with kindness.
R. P.
Good priced drinks and we'll managed covid safety
Food was ok. Not been in while and I would recommend. Was disappointed it's not a carvery no more but the new look and menu makes up for it as its now sizzling pub we only had the garden menu as that's was all that was available at the moment. We have booked in for next week to try the full menu and can not wait. the staf are very friendly and well presented.
J. D.
First time we have visited here in a long time and was surprised at how lovely it looks. Food was lovely too.
However the experience in itself was far from pleasant. We were sat at a table up a few steps which seemed to be a children's play area. We were trying to enjoy our meal but had
Several children climbing on the chairs at our table, children running around our table squealing, knocking our belongings over several times, was just a really unpleasant experience, which is a shame.
S. r.
Fantastic garden called in for some drinks the garden was busy so we went and sat indoors and decided to have some food. Shar the waitress was very nice taking our order and not a long wait on food. The diners we got were excellent and hot everywhere was sparkling clean and safe i was informed that they are doing the 50% off food so we will be back next week for a bargain cheap as chips. We'll done to your excellent team first class service
Thank you
E. S.
Good social distancing - difficult to see how you could book beforehand though. We did manage to sneak in without a booking and were well accommodated by Cathy (who told us kitchen was closed but managed to get us fed) and Dave ('there's an hour wait on food' - food came within 10 minutes). Stuff like menus could be cleaner. They were sticky. Otherwise, good and good value.
a. h.
Had a really nice time here. Never knew this place was a sizzler but now we know we will be back. This is the best sizzler by far nice staff and lovely atmosphere in here. Make sure you visit here ASAP.
A. G.
Good pub, serves Lovely food, reasonable prices and a good choice. Staff are very helpful and friendly, it is well worth a visit.
S.
Main meals were fine, roast beef dinner and cheese & bacon burger with fries, one of the desserts were fine but unfortunately one dessert, treacle sponge with custard and ice cream, was a bit cold and dry for our taste. We would go there again but choose a different dessert. The recent refurbishment looks okay and the service was quick and pleasant.
k. G.
Loved it! Lovely business with quality food and drink and a great atmosphere. I'll be back soon!
J. M.
Lovely food, service slow on bar drinks. The table server was on her own on busy Friday tea time / evening shift and worked her little socks off always with smile
M. H.
Very enjoyable visit, delicious food and great value for money! Excellent service from Kathy!
C. A.
Even Better Buttermilk Italian Style Chicken what was I had and I could easily eat it again, absolutely gorgeous. The new decor is a huge improvement to the way it looked before. There is more parking at the back of the pub to the right.
s. m.
It was really nice just sitting outside talking with my family and listening to other customers laughing and being happy, eating food outside nice to have some freedom. Halfway House has got a good menu well worth visiting just remember to book before you go
I. C.
Great outdoor and indoor spaces. Friendly atmosphere, good value food and drink. Ample parking. Great for football, resident ukulele band Tuesday evening.
A. S.
Lovely place since it has been done food and service fast excellent atmosphere. X
R. H.
Came for kids party for Halloween 🎃 well worth the money a bit cramped in the room as inconsiderate adults wanted to sit in the room lot leaving much room for the kids food was nice welldone to the halfway for hosting us.
T. E.
Very good service yesterday at the Halloween party for the kids. Staff are great and the food is really nice
K. W.
Lovely food, friendly staff, good quality.
A. M.
Some of the Carvery meat was very dry especially the turkey. The price is far too high for the quality on a Sunday. Shame really as a local I'd visit more often if improved. Staff friendly and beer decent and well priced. Review for 19/08/2018
H. B.
Nice food, could of done with more staff on to get served quicker
D. M.
Nice Traditional Surroundings. Service at Bar a little slow and were not even busy! Have had a meal here previously and food quite nice, but potatoes very dry and soggy, looked like they had been left there reheating for quite a time. Didn't have much to do with staff but management didn't seem hands on. Too busy eating and talking themselves. Prefer the Greenhills if I'm honest!
B. D.
Really enjoyed the new restaurant and redesign of the bar.
J. E.
Haven’t had a carvery here with the meat in a long time so I can’t comment on that.
However, the fish served here is impeccable, the fish is succulent and tasty with a perfect crispy battered coating. Surprisingly it was the best we have had compared to chip shops and other takeaways. The vegetables are also nice and the quality has improved. The chocolate fudge cake is delicious and good value for money as you receive a huge slice with 3 chunks of chocolate fudge, ideal for chocoholics. With the meals we’ve had here we haven’t had any issues and come here occasionally for family time.
The only thing that could be improved is the sticky tables that we sometimes find. There aren’t many staff around to clean up after which is a pity.
Other than that there isn’t much we can complain about.
p.
Went for new menu yesterday its was very tasty same great service and a cracking pint brilliant place to watch the footy 👍
B. H.
A very relaxing place. Staff very nice.
N. G.
Loads of space and dogs allowed in anywhere in the front bars.
C. M.
Very friendly staff manager very helpful.. lovely friendly and welcoming atmosphere will defo be going again ..
D. C.
Recently went to try the new halfway house after I was recommended by a friend. Food presentation was good, the beer was reasonable priced and The atmosphere in the pub was great to see as all locals seem to be having fun. Will be returning and recommending to my friends.
M. I.
Ive been visiting the garage over the road for many years and never knew thisbplace existed. I always thought it was just a pub not a pub/restaurant. The food was amazing hunters baguette with fries and side salad. Im part tempted to drive from kirkby again just to order it again.
D. S.
Food was just OK nothing special
P. J. G.
Went as part of Eat Out To Help Out
Pub very nicely refitted after decades of neglect. Kept waiting 10 mins before allocated a table then a 45 minute wait for the food. Meal ok nothing particularly special. Worth it with the discounted price wouldnt have been pleased if paying full wack
Ok for the odd visit I suppose
S. B.
Friendly staff. Service was quick.
J. R.
Food lovely and staff helpful. Let down by the toilets. One sink and loo out of order, one toilet with no seat. Water on the floor and no tissue in the ladies. Husband said the men's were the same. Shame as it looks lovely inside and out.
A. S.
This has to be the best sizzler we have been to. Top quality food great staff excellent atmosphere too.
M. B.
Lovely pub sat outside meal were excellent and service was the same will go there again no problem
P. S. H.
Friendly, homely place, good food and always attentive staff
M. J.
Nice atmosphere. Would have been 5 star if John Smiths hadn't been temperamental.
n. f.
Wow 🤩 how nice is it here now, completely different to what it used to be. So much choice, we had 2 of the sizzling skillets the crispy chilli beef and the Mexican chicken are lovely and the haddock and chips such nice presentation, staff all friendly and loads of drink choices, will definatly be back and can’t wait for the summer in the new beer garden 🍷🙌
K. B.
Since my last visit (pre covid) this place has had a refurbishment and has been really well done. Huge beer garden at back and ample parking behind that.
Didnt eat there but prices and variety of food very good.
Covid wise they have a flow control through the building and sanitisers etc about the place.
Will certainly go back
S. T.
Halfway House reopened today following refurb. What a difference! It was really busy which was great to see. The decor is brill didn't try the food but people around really enjoying. Congrats to all involved I'm sure you will do really well.
P. C.
(Review Change.) This great pub is spacious and serves great food and beverages. Ideal for getting together and family friendy. Careful of the car park as, unuasually for pubs, it is goverened by Europarks and you have to log in your car details on the bar Ipad . Not knowing this and I did get a fine but on reporting back to the pub the staff were excellent in dealing with this and reversing and quashing the fine. Thank you.
G. n.
What a little gem of a pub😍 disabled friendly very clean and tidy polite staff and wow the sizzling mixed grill was amazing the sausages are the best we've ever tasted 😘 cannot fault this place one little bit will definitely be returning again soon 😁😁
B. M.
Recently refurbished, it was a pleasant environment and very comfortable. Staff were very helpful and extremely polite . Excellent meal and well worth the money xxxxx
A. C.
Recently renovated, very inviting inside. Pleasant staff. We ate 3 small plates for £9 all very tasty. The natchos were even made from tortilla bread instead of just packet natchos as far we could tell.
R. A.
Enjoyed every minute at this pub staff so friendly and looking forward to coming back
D. W.
Friendly service, staff polite and helpful nothing to much trouble, and a good varied menu ,all in all a pleasant evening out ,
M. C.
Amazing new menu 😋 x
p. k.
Nice place good food great staff
S. T.
Went in today After booking a table for 18 and what can I say, service and food was spot on, the girl behind the bar was so polite and knowledgable about the menu. Especially as my mother is celiac and couldn’t eat certain foods Thankyou so much for looking after us, defiantly see you again soon
A. W.
Been massively renovated within the year.. Nice pub, family friendly, match days are busy but still not overbearing as their food/drink are separate
D. C.
Been here today was fairly busy for a Monday afternoon, we had 2 fish and chips for £9 such a bargain, fish was cooked beautifully, service from both staff members was brilliant they couldn’t do more for us from bringing out pots of tea over to checking if we was ok, highly recommend
S. M.
A great place to eat, good service and good value menu. Recommended.
W. F.
Lovely meal, excellent value and the most attentive and helpful staff you could ask for
D. N.
Thank You Dave
visited here last Saturday night as was staying close by for the Liverpool game
We got chatting to Dave Manager on duty who was very hospitable & made us feel very welcome
Recommended we come in for breakfast before the game the following morning & so we did & were not disappointed.
Thanks again Dave.
M. C.
Place has had a major transformation and is looking like a complete different place. Food has changed from carvery to a sizzling menu with loads to choose from. Staff all friendly and welcoming.
O. C.
Calvary meat tend to be overdone and dry. Fish is super if it is freshly cooked. Vegetables are nicely done too. Relaxing atmosphere. Price is good.
P. E.
Excellent food and friendly staff. They have really made the pub more welcoming and new outdoor area is superb .
A. H.
Called in to see what it looked like after the refurb,,wow,,it looks amazing,very clean,and staff are lovely and friendly,it was quite busy but was served quickly,great atmosphere,,the food looked and smelled delicious,will definitely be back to try something from the food menu ,well done to all the staff
S. W.
One of the major criteria for a good pub (atm) is to be COVID Secure and this place scores well on the measures they have in place.
B. P.
Standard carvery really, decent quality, and at under £5 you really can't complain! Went as a large group and they had no problem accommodating us.
N. B.
Traditional old large pub in Childwall. Very limited beer selection, with two regular and very standard real ales on tap. Normally Doombar and an Adnams
They used to have a nice, if a little bland carvery, costing next to nothing. A firm favourite among locals, and sadly now gone, leaving the question of, what’s the point of the place now?
I was struggling with either two or three stars, but settled on this based on the fact that it’s nice and quiet, and a relaxing place to spend some time after work.
S. A.
Visited the Halfway House Tuesday 1/9/20 with family and enjoyed a really good meal,our waitress Catherine was very helpful and it was definitely service with a smile, will definitely visit again.😊
M. M.
lovely and clean Quality of the child's meal let it down pizza the over 5's menu was only big enough for under 5's The pizza itself was not nice, the base was nothing like a pizza base
N. H.
10th March turned up at 1830hrs cold and dark and drizzle in an unlit car park failed notice signage about parking. Enjoyed our meal must have been obvious to staff we hadn't been before. Left the pub 1945hrs no notice at the exit from the restaurant to say about parking, or around the restaurant (sign to say have you registered your car on the way out would have brought it to our attention) . Got a nice surprise 7 days later in the form of a PCN for £50.
Entirely my fault for not checking but certainly tainted the evening.
i. O.
Amazing service with a smile! Felt welcome every second I was there! Thank you for giving me a great experience!
L. B.
Just had a lovely lunch with my husband and son felt very covid 19 safe food was excellent and staff were lovely friendly and efficient
A. P.
Friendly staff nice pint,nice food Kathy you would struggle
B. M.
Good food nice atmosphere not over priced which is good I'm glad to go back in after such a long time I have seen friends I haven't seen for over 20 years
The pub is going to be a good meeting point for the community
r. T.

Aweful to hear all the lard arsed banging on about the food. They should stick to McDonalds. However the Halfway serves the best pint of Guinness in the area. Well poured, well served and well priced!! Guinness has to be good to to appreciate it. The Halfway delivers the product perfectly.

Lovely family restaurant staff very friendly.

D. B.
Had a great Christmas carvery and food was fantastic but the staff, especially Kathy, were brilliant. Had my grandson with us and nothing was too much trouble for them.
J. F.
we go every friday night and always have a nice meal. its nicer when Hannah the waitress is in as she is very cheerful and helpful and makes the best coffee
c. b.
Don’t ever get the roast beef from here, it’s always that tough and full of gristle that you can’t even cut through it. It’s always the same, so dnt chance it and ruin your meal. The other joints are fine
V.
Alright food at an alright price, drink isn't that cheap either. Just been done up nice.
L. L.
Food was decent but we waited over an hour. We were told there was a party of 40 in so they were being sorted first. Yeah cheers for that!
J. R.
Service was excellent. Steak was below average.
J. O.
Like going here try and go a list once a month with a friend from ex works the food is great and the staff are lovely
D. K.
This pubs since it’s refurb is probably the nicest looking & for food at a reasonable price .
I’m choosing here over Woolton village & all the pubs in my area .
It’s a 5 star from me & im very very fussy 👍

Cavery was okay but no organisation behind the scenes so you always have a wait or miss out on something like stuffing or Yorkshire puds. Cath who is the hostess in the restaurant is fab, she spends most of the time apologising for the failings and cant do enough for you. This place could be a goldmine if it was better organised and the company spent a few quid making it fit for the area which deserves a quality establishment.
j. b.
very helpful and friendly service
M. A.
Food was amazing and staff was kind
A. F.

Bar staff very nice and efficient had better but reasonable price
D. S.
Brilliant. I've not been in for over ten years and the transformation is amazing..... Oh and Liverpool beat Man Utd, so the icing on the cake was great too!!

Great little gem in Woolton. Staff are very friendly and helpful. They go out of their way to help you. Cheap very reasonable price for the food and was good food as well. Would recommend !!
B. J.
One of the best experiences i have had in a pub, the service was great and the food was at a very high standard, without can understand why many people have said that the Halfway House offers the best carvery around because it is true and i will be returning in the near future.
S. C.
Visited here recently, food was lovely and staff whre really friendly and bubbly, love the new refurb will definatly return
P. G.
Nice good, lovely beer garden and very polite and friendly staff
A. M. (.
Used tobe one of the most popular and busiest urban pub in South Liverpool. Now very quiet, looking dilapidated, lacklustre and in serious need of a cash injection and refurb before Redrow Joe's cronies demolish it without planning permission, intending to build upmarket, top dollar studio flats.
C. B.
Done up nice, great food and beer, staff are very nice too and a massive telly showing sports. Well worth a visit.
T. h.
Went last night brilliant atmosphere even with the pandemic going on well organised and great food 👌
J. R. (.
The service and beers are decent but the decor is a little tired, a decent pub if that's where you land but I find the other pubs in the area to have a bit more atmosphere and character.
S. W.
Excellent pub with very good quality food. The prices re very reasonable and friendly staff.
A. M.
Nice food nice and relaxed

Food was delicious, atmosphere was pleasant and the server was very helpful, friendly and competent.
C. C.
Went in after the new refurbishment and was very impressed by both the food and friendliness of the team.
C. M.
Average grub. On a Sunday the carvery is £8 but it should probably just be a fiver like the rest of the week considering the quality.
S.
Nice pub but did not like the thought of people smoking in the front door way should be in designated smoking area 👎
K. O.
Fab food & atmosphere 👌
P. R.

Always seems to be out of something (spuds one day, ice cream another, meat another, etc). Service is usually mediocre. Nothing to rave about, but also serves a decent carvery when products are actually in stock.
C. D.
Decent food at the carvery, interior dector needs updating as it has not changed in 6+ years.
