I had visited others like the Fiveways Hotel at Childwall I would have a different view. This place doesn't feel like any of the other wetherspoons I've visited. No groups of old men spending all day drinking cheap bear. It felt like a place you could spend time and enjoy the pleasant surroundings. I visited on a Sunday afternoon so it may be different in the evenings. I had a nice JW Lees Chocoholic and a brewdog edge at £1.75 a pint. The daily food special was a Tark Dhal Curry, rice and popadoms for £2.30!

Hosting pub quizzes and having wide screen TVs showing various sporting events has probably not done it any harm, but I'm fairly sure that the only thing that has kept this pub afloat really are its loyal patrons, most of whom are getting on a bit. The pub does have some good food and a nice atmosphere, and it is a nice alternative to all those showy bar/bistros that surround it. The prices for drinks are reasonable and it is no doubt a popular haunt for students who walk down from the Carnatic halls of residence.

Monday to Friday they do two meals for under a tenner so you can't really grumble. We certainly didn't but perhaps you have (quite rightly) higher standards than a first year uni student... if so, probably best to stick to the pints and watch the game on the big screen, or catch the live entertainment they have on a Saturday night if you're in the area.

Childwall has a laughably small amount of pubs. About three as far as I can tell. Because of this,…read moreyou'd expect them to put a bit more effort in or, contrarily, no effort at all because they know the punters have no choice. The Halfway House would fall into the latter category. It's not especially bad, a furniture-cluttered, acorn-coloured boozer, but it isn't especially great either. It's the kind of pub that you'd start in before moving somewhere more interesting except, as I mentioned before, you can't. There is nowhere else. Get it together Childwall.

The food and drinks are as you would expect, the new menu which came in late April has some excellent new dishes. The staff weren't exactly rude in here but they weren't accommodating either. It took around five minutes to get served, even though there were only around three customers at the time. The food arrived really quickly, which is a bonus if you're in a rush but sometimes it can be a little too quick if you get my drift. Also my Reggae Reggae chicken wrap was cold - unsure if it was supposed to be. I imagine it would be a bit livelier at night or in the evening, but I don't recommend it for lunches. Maybe I'll try it again another day and hope that it was just a one off.
