The Halfway House is a former coaching inn dating from the 1770s, now transformed into a traditional roadside local. It is sited halfway between Chester and New Ferry. Although open plan these days, it still retains much of its original character and intimacy with old prints of the pub and its surrounds adorning the walls. A genuinely friendly local for conversation.

The full complement of four hand pulls is now entirely free of tie with beers usually being sourced from smaller breweries and changing frequently. The pub has a darts team and a golf society and it also hosts local football teams after matches. Open mic night every other Wednesday with a quiz night on Thursdays at 9.30 pm.

Step-free car park and toilet access but clearances perhaps too tight for wheelchairs. The pub may close earlier than stated when quiet.
