This pub has won serveral awards but in all honesty, I can't see why. Yes, it's olde worlde and situated up some dark, narrow steps so I can see how it attracts the tourists but inside was nothing spectacular. The walls are yellow (pre-smoking ban yellow) and covered with paintings of trains and other railway-related bits and bobs. There are only a few tables as it's a teeny tiny old man's boozer and the bar doesn't offer anything out of the ordinary. Now, unless The Halfway House drastically changes into something completely different at night, I'm not going to recommend it to anyone. It's dark, dingy, cold and dull so for that reason, I'm out.
