Food service is always fast here. Great to come to with hungry kids as you never seem to have that long a wait.

The Halfway House, Brenchley is a niche British pub based in the gorgeous Kent countryside. This pub has a great atmosphere and friendly staff. They have a fantastic selection of drinks from local brewed Ales, Ciders and Lagers. When I’ve had the food it’s been quick to come to the table, hot and delicious. The outside bar and seating area is huge making it a great location to catch up with your friends in the summer. I’ll happily recommend this pub to anyone.

Where do I start with this review? I don’t have one positive thing to say about Halfway House. I booked lunch for my 50th birthday for yesterday and booked this via email on the 11th December. This was confirmed via email by Sam. When we got to Halfway House I stood at the bar for 5 minutes whilst the Landlord spoke to his mates that were all gathered round one end of the bar. He acted like he couldn’t be bothered to take my name and said there was no booking under my first name or surname. When I said I booked via email he said he I should have done it via phone and that is what “Niki” is like. I said I had it confirmed on email (showed him the email) and this was by Sam not Niki. I also mentioned that it was my birthday lunch and was greeted with no response.Then the other lady working there and the landlord said you can wait over there and pointed to a corner by the fire exit. So my family and I waited over in the corner for 5 minutes not sure what was happening. So I went back to the bar and was again ignored and then the Landlord finally and again reluctantly spoke to me as I asked are we going to be seated there in that corner by the door/fire exit or are we going somewhere else. He responded very rudely and said “well where do you want to go”. I said I would prefer not to be stuck in the corner (which was also dirty). He was rolling his eyes and they were huffing and puffing and again I said this is supposed to be my birthday lunch and again no reaction. In the end we walked out. The Landlord was extremely rude and there were definitely misogynistic vibes.At no point at all was there an apology for not having made the booking even though I had it confirmed in writing or showing any sign of caring that it was for a special occasion. The staff acted like I was irritant and there was not even an offer to ask us what we would like to drink. I think the way we were treated overall was disgusting and I will definitely be spreading the word to everyone I know in the local area not to visit this pub. There is no charm, customer car or just plain manners.

An absolutely stunning old style pub, with an unbelievable range of exceptional ales perfectly kept, and the food was stunning too! Happy to highly recommend this
A old traditional pub with heaps of character. A good choice of real ales and an open fireplace.

Visiting my mum for Christmas and took her here for lunch. Not only was the food wonderfully cooked but was also generous in portion. Such a quaint and atmospheric little pub hidden in the Kent countryside that was warm and welcoming. Although busy, the staff were friendly, helpful and full of smiles.Highly recommend.

It's my favourite local pub now. It was built in 1750s I think, beautiful inside. lovely atmosphere and owners. Haven't tried food yet.

This is a quirky pub that has been in family hands for generations. Little has been changed inside the building. It's a must see pub. The atmosphere is 'country' and clearly a local's venue. People were all very friendly and polite.
