Trading since 1700 and owned by various breweries since, the Halfway House is now a free house serving four constantly changing ales with at least two sourced from local breweries. A recent refurbishment has produced a bright and clean environment although some oak beams and wood cladding is visible and three fireplaces have been retained including a log burning stove. Good food is served by friendly staff. There is occasional live music and unintrusive background music. Covered outdoor seating. In the upper bar there is a turntable and collection of vinyl albums for customers to play.
