Halfway House

Delightful Sundays with Exceptional Fish & Chips

Ah, The Halfway House in Earlsfield – there’s something infinitely charming about this pub that effortlessly bridges the gap between old-school grub and a fresh community vibe. Situated conveniently close to the railway, the establishment seizes every opportunity to welcome passersby with its spacious interiors and surprisingly quiet outdoor space. What stands out most is the infectious friendliness of the staff who, let’s face it, are the heart-beat of this venue. Icons like Joey and Marlon lay down the charm with unwavering zeal, while Josh's obvious mixologist skills could coax even the most skeptical cocktail aficionado into submission.

Now to the crowning jewels of our visit: the food. The Sunday roast stakes claim to territory at the zenith of comfort dining, with gravy-doused roast beef that's as tender as a mother’s hug and veggies giving off more charisma than a box of dynamite. Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper British experience without a nod to their epic fish and chips – crispy on the surface, gloriously flaky within. Drinks don’t hit a flat note either. Whether it's a spicy Margarita or pure Guinness perfection, there seems to be something for anyone harboring a thirst. Indeed, amidst the blooms of gatherings and friendly service, The Halfway House is genuinely a place where one won’t remain just halfway satisfied for long; quite the contrary, you may struggle to leave at all. — Milo Tastemaker
