The Halfway House - Ashford

We ended up at this restaurant after running out of fuel, and the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. The owner even brought my husband to the local garage. The pub was cozy inside with a wide selection of beers. We will definitely be returning as the menu looked very appealing.

We were surprised by the negative reviews, as we found the service and food to be quite good. Customers order and receive their utensils from the bar, which is reasonable, and the menu is displayed on boards. Our group of five was celebrating a 97th birthday, and the staff was very helpful. The menu featured a variety of roasts and a la carte options, which is not common for a Sunday. We brought our own cake, which the staff kindly added candles to and presented well. Although the staff seemed new and a bit inexperienced, we had a pleasant meal and received attentive service. We would recommend giving them a chance.

Jason and Sammy are just lovely. Great food super friendly but most importantly they make things easy . My son was nine and had a great time.

We visited on Sunday with friends for lunch with our three children. The garden is fantastic and the kids love it. We had burgers, pizza and kids meals which were all delicious and served quickly. Would highly recommend for a get together with family or...friends

We arrived at the restaurant to find a full parking lot, but there were no immediate alarm bells. Despite being told that the roast beef had sold out, we decided to opt for the roast chicken instead. Unfortunately, it was absolutely terrible! The calamari starter had an odd texture and was tasteless. The chicken was unseasoned and bland, with only two new potatoes and watery frozen vegetables. The parsnip batons were soggy, and we had to ask for more gravy. Other diners around us also had issues with their meals, and there were mix-ups with condiments and desserts. The server was friendly, but the lack of organization was evident. Overall, we would recommend avoiding this restaurant.
