Situated in stunning heathland at the heart of the Isle of Purbeck, the Halfway Inn is the meet point between the historic market town of Wareham, and William the Conqueror’s Corfe Castle. The Halfway Inn is well known for its warm, dog-friendly hospitality and quality fresh food offer.
The pub itself dates back to the 16th century and was originally used as a thatched-roof-farmhouse. Several original features remain including wattle and daub walls and flagstone floors. The Halfway continues to ooze character with log burning fires, a spacious garden room and traditional Dorset ales on tap. This rural gem must be visited to truly be appreciated – we warmly welcome you!.
We stayed overnight in there Large carpark as we have a motorhome and members of Britstop, food good, staff friendly and helpful lots of seating inside and out, also dog friendly
Absolutely great dinner here at The Halfway Inn nr Wareham, Dorset. Beautifully cooked and it was delicious. Staff were great to, really great to receive proper hospitality. Well done to all, the staff and the chef. 👍🏻🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟We’ll definitely be back soon. The little playground kept the children happy too and they left empty plates after playing like they did. Definitely recommend this pub to anyone 👍🏻🌟
Expensive for what it was. Pie was great. Chips let it down. They looked like they were left overs kept warm and felt cheap. For an extra 50p they could have put hand cut triple cooked chips on and it would have been 10x better.
Overall would recommend this place to eat. The food is very good and the portions are great. It is rather pricey for what it is though. The drinks prices are very high in comparison to other pubs. Service is good and felt very welcomed by staff. Dining in the room with the exposed brick walls has a lovely atmosphere, if you eat here ask to eat in this room. Tables are a good size but the chairs are a bit uncomfortable and could perhaps do with replacing. There are a couple of tables that have a narrow bench seat that is in the window, this is quite narrow and can fit two people although it is a bit tight, and it is cold to sit here in the winter due to the draft through the windows. Overall would eat here again and would recommend. As I said, food is brilliant, so delicious! Thank you
Really helpful Scottish chap served us. We hadn't booked but he got us a table straight away. Drink and food orders taken really quick which was perfect. Food was served really fast as well. Good selection on the menu for adults and kids. When the food came it was perfect portion sizes. Nice atmosphere, great play area and seating outside as well. All in all 10/10
