My grandson had the Rump Steak and even with a steak knife he found it difficult to cut through it, also you do not put hot tomatoes onto a cold salad. My Husband chose Hunters Chicken. I dont know if the chef wasn't familiar with making Hunters Chicken but it neither looked or tasted like it and once again the chicken was not cooked properly, and last of all I myself ordered Roast Pork and I,m sorry to have to say it but it both looked and tasted disgusting. We were very disappointed as we were looking forward to making our 1st visit to halfway House but I,m afraid we won,t be booking a meal here again.

If anyone is the area it would be a good idea for them to go and try the food because they won't be disappointed. There is a new large patio area so you can eat outside if the weather is warm enough, or even if you just want to go for a drink. Part of the patio is heated so even if its not too warm you will be ok. And for the pool players this is one of the only pubs in the area with a pool table. And a good one at that. They have a wide range of lager on tap as well as speciality local beers from Yorkshire. Not the cheapest place to drink but a good place to drink with a warm friendly atmosphere. Good for families or drinks with friends.

So there we were driving around on Sunday looking for somewhere to have "Fathers day" lunch…read more Looking for the usual 2 for 1 or all you can eat for a fiver deals (I'm a bloke from Yorkshire, therefore I'm tight) but to no avail....... then I just remembered this place from my youth and headed over and BINGO! Big chalk board outside said Fathers day lunch £7.50, I conned the wife into going halves (she was fed up of driving round by then) so we went in. We were greeted by friendly bar staff and a more restaurant approach but in a rural pub setting which was a bit odd but good, grabbed a couple of pints of rancid old scrotum or some other cask ale and parked at the table which the waitress helpfully showed us to. The menu had a choice of 4 meals, 5 starters and plenty of puddings (desserts if you're from that London) which were all specials for the day. I chose a steak and ale pie with new spuds etc and the wife a beef dinner with all the trimmings....... service took around 10 minutes so I bought more "Armpit sweat" or "Old bags eyeball juice" or some other beer of some strange name. Believe me when I say it was worth the driving around and having to drink beer with twigs in (I don't have a beard or corduroys or a tank top so I prefer my beer twig free) as I can honestly say it was a genuinely home made pie, in a dish with just a crust on top and filled with half a cow and some fungus pieces (mushrooms of the non magic variety) all swimming in gravy that I believe was made from the tears of an angel. The vegetables were a plenty and in bowls to share between us which gets me on to the wifes choice of roast beef dinner, she said it was the best beef she's ever had and believe me when I say she's had a lot of meat in her lifetime ;) It was melt in the mouth and enough to leave her with a smile on her face and the yorkshire pudding (no that's not the wifes nickname) was fresh made and delicious. So next time you're in the Drig area or even not but want a bally good nosh (sorry I just put my Tim Nice But Dim head on) put BD11 1LJ into your Satnav, you will not be dissapointed.

This is only a small bar which is on two floors but the shape and design of it is very unique and different - from the entrance at the back there are about 6 steps up to the first floor. On the entrance floor there is space for tables but they arent always out to be used. Then on the main floor there is the bar and a few tables - this is nice and snug and gets cosy on a normal night but very packed on a weekend or friday night which are the busy promotion nights where they have cocktails and beers and shots on special offer. Then you go up some more stairs to the upper floor which also has a small bar and has tall high tables and stools - the lighting is blue up here and gives it a really classy feel to it. The toilets are also based on the top floor and these get very busy and you need to be prepared to wait for long stretches to use them. They do food during the day which is the normal pub grub type but, they dont do many special offers on their food whch takes away some of their custom considering other bars nearby do 2 for 1s and that The food is nice and tasty and very filling but it a bit on the dear side. The service is very good here and the staff are lovely and polite but seem to change quite often - mainly students seem to work the bar.

There's a limited amount of parking spaces but as it's not too busy there most of the time you can be pretty sure that you will get a space to park.

There's a bar if you'd like to grab a pint or something softer while you are relaxing and enjoying a few frames. The ambience in there is very fitting for snooker, very little noise so you can concentrate on your shots. Overall a really nice spot.

We were looking for somewhere that did a Sunday roast and unfortunately the City Vault don't. I was pleasantly surprised by the interior, it was cosy and a little old fashioned which I personally like in a pub! We ordered two beef roasts, costing a very affordable £5.25 each! The sliced roast beef came with half a giant Yorkshire pud, a ball of sage and onion stuffing, some roast, mashed and boiled potatoes (sounds a lot but it actually wasn't as they only put a few of each style on the plate), veg and gravy. It wasn't the best beef I've ever had but it was nice enough, especially considering the price! My favourite parts of the meal were the roast potatoes and the gravy. The Yorkshire pud was pretty decent too. We proceeded to order a cappuccino and a hot chocolate but my friend confused the staff by changing her order last minute and they ended up bringing over a cappuccino, a latte AND a hot chocolate. They were kind enough to let us keep the extra one for no extra charge. I really like it when staff in restaurants and bars do this because the alterative is chucking it away and what's the point in that :) The coffee itself wasn't great so I won't be ordering that again, too bitter. I plan on trying the chicken next time.

But we were very disappointed that we had a table booked from 4:00pm to 6:00pm and after the main course the waitress asked if we would like a sweet to which we answered yes, and then a couple of minutes later we were told that we had to change tables which I do think was very bad mannered. We had 40 minutes or so left on our booking, and had noticed a table near us that were there before we got there and still there, only drinking hot drinks so we couldn't understand at all why we were moved. This really made us feel that we weren't important clients at all. If the pub had overbooked, that wasn't our problem. We have been to this restaurant many times, but this time went away feeling very disappointed.
