  “Spot on. From the moment you walk in, everything just clicks. The food is excellent fresh, full of flavour, and clearly prepared with care. Every dish feels well thought out, and you can tell there’s real attention to quality and presentation. The service matches it perfectly too: friendly, attentive without being overbearing, and genuinely welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. The atmosphere really ties it all together. It’s got that perfect balance lively enough to feel like a great place to be, but still relaxed and comfortable so you can actually enjoy your time there. Whether you’re going for a casual meal or something a bit more special, it just works. On top of that, the prices are more than reasonable for what you’re getting, which makes it even easier to come back again and again. Honestly, it’s hard to find anything to complain about. If I had to pick one “problem,” it’s that the Black is dangerously smooth so easy to drink that stopping after two feels like a real challenge. Not exactly a bad issue to have, but definitely something to be aware of!”

  “Checked out one of Joseph Holt's pubs situated in South Shore and sampled some items from their recently launched Spring menu. The historic listed building has been beautifully restored and turned into a family-friendly gastropub ~ We had the following: 》Hot Honey Chicken 》Halloumi Fries 》Garlic and Stilton Mushrooms 》Greek Style Braised Featherblade Steak 》Caesar Salad with chicken and bacon 》Ham and Pineapple Pizza 》Gin and Raspberry Cheesecake 》Cadbury Dairy Milk ice cream & Sundae 》Sticky Toffee Pudding 》Hugo Berry Spritz The meal was delectable from the appetising starters to the flavourful mains, refreshing cocktails and heavenly desserts ~ impossible to resist them. The attentive staff plus cosy ambiance made our time here so enjoyable, the perfect place to unwind after a busy day at work. Half Way House is one of Blackpool’s oldest pubs dating back to the mid-19th century and offers a wide array of fine beers, premium spirits, wine, prosecco etc. It has a large dining area with a stone-baked pizza station with booths, high tables and a beer garden. You can watch live sports throughout the week, pub quizzes every Sunday night and live music across the month. It's only 2 mins away from Blackpool airport and 5 mins drive from the coast or the Pleasure Beach.”

  “I went with my husband and our dog and we were sat at the back which was fine, however while we waited for the waiter to show us to our table a woman with a child walked by and the woman was vaping!! 2 staff members close by must have seen this and did nothing, I went to the bar to order and right opposite the bar on high stools 2 people were vaping!! we were then sat having our meal and a young man was vaping at the next table. Honestly couldn’t wait to get out, food and staff amazing but wont be going back unless it’s managed better. I’m betting if I went to light a cigarette it would be noticed not that I smoke.”

  “Today was my mother in laws 90th birthday We'd booked last year and although when we went to confirm the number and the menu change, nothing was too much trouble. The area normally the sports area was ours from 1pm Buffet table ready with tea / coffee already for us. The manager spoke to us when we arrived early to put up posters, balloons and bring the surprise cake. Timing sorted for the buffet, he left saying anything we need just ask. Cake brought out, then buffet, some hot, some cold. The food went down very well with all the guests, everyone saying how good it was. Overal if you want a room with about space for say 60 guests and free it's worth a look Staff, atmosphere top rated”

  “Faultless. Holts Bitter spot on and the Shepherds pie easily the best and hottest pub meal I've had in a long time. Highly recommended.”

  “The staff are amazing the food is astonishing. The atmosphere of some people is vile . We went as a family to the halfway house at half 8 for a meal then people acting big and hard vocalising against violence . I as a nice person went up as a decent teenager and said please can you keep the tone down as there was lots of swearing violence involved , please keep it down as their is not only my siblings but other children hearing and they apologised which wasn’t needed I just wanted them to enjoy their light but noticed as much . However two elder women butted in and was like you shouldn’t have children out at 10pm on a starfish baring in mind we left at half 9 as a family we are allowed to be in a family pub . The staff are lovely but I think their too quiet to sort things out and all it takes is one thing ti happen badly before a serious response is made.”

  “Great pub. Reason prices. We took advantage of the two meals for £14. We both had lasagna and that came with garlic bread and a side salad. The quality was very good and the sauce was very tomatoey but could have done with more meat but was great.”
