Soup x 2 served cold ,when replaced came back without spoons. Main meals (both ordered same dish)had seasonal vegetables listed on menu, when arrived only had 1carrot when I questioned this the server just shrugged his shoulders and walked away. 1 dessert fine other dessert had main ingredient missing, when we asked where are the raspberries? We were told we don't have any in the store, why was this not pointed out to us when ordering the Scottish traditional dessert from the Burns night menu that only has 3 ingredients " Raspberries, cream and whisky
Called in for a late breakfast (brunch) and had the Eggs Benedict, salmon and egg and a stack of pancakes. The food was fantastic and we enjoyed sitting outside on the balcony. Kate was lovely and made us feel really welcome. We look forward to coming again!
We had planned a small surprise gathering at another establishment to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday but unfortunately they let us down on the day. In a last minute online panic, I stumbled across The Halfway House.....thank goodness I did!! The staff kindly accommodated our party of 9, and both the service and food were exceptional. I would like to say a particular 'Thank-you' to Beth and Sophie who looked after us wonderfully on the night. I would highly recommend The Halfway House and will definitely be back. They also have a gluten-free menu which I appreciated being coeliac 😊
Staff were lovely but not very attentive, we had to ask multiple times for service. Children had to wait over an hour and a half for food, food was okay but not enough to make me or family members want to return. Gluten free menu wasn't too bad but would love to see chips on the menu rather than just mash, jacket or salad however the gf menu is better than most local places.
The food is amazing, the staff is amazing. Freshly cooked food, friendly environment, the cake is so smooth and tasty. Nice music playing in the background. I want to give a special thanks to Beth and Craig, they have been so nice to us throughout.
