A once great pub has now got the neglected air. However, it has recently sold so here's hoping for a return to the good old days. I never had a bad pint in the late Ivor's days.

Halfway House. Felt a longer schlep up the hill from the Village than expected. A plain locals bar offering Hidden Old Sarum & Quest, and Goldfinch Tom Brown's, not the best kept ales of the day.

At last my picture has appeared! Still a great community local, one to cherish.

Still a great pub. I uploaded a photo months ago, but it has not appeared. I have emailed BITE several times, but not had the courtesy of a reply. What has happened to this excellent site?

Had a delightful chat with the landlord. He has some very interesting plans for the future, with real ale very much in the forefront! Incidentally, the bar billiards has now made way for the return of the pool table, which I understand, was sorely missed! The Halfway is a great little pub - one of a diminishing breed of community pubs that we should cherish.

Visited this pub again, wow, it's really nice in here. Smart leather sofas, new chairs and tables and now bar billiards.
A new landlord (of 4 days) and Tom Brown's Midnight Sun - a really fruity ale, not dissimilar to Badger Golden Glory. Well worth a visit - you might become a regular!

Unfortunately I wasn't able to visit as it shuts on Saturday afternoons and doesn't reopen until 6pm! A bit of a hike from the city centre but convenient if you're taking in a football match at Bemerton Heath Harlequins FC. Many of the Salisbury pubs listed in the 2005 Good Beer Guide have restricted opening hours so bear that in mind if going out of your way to visit a particular one.

Formerly the Halfway House - halfway between London & Exeter - Now a Goldfinch pub. A no-nonsense local serving Tom Brown's, Flashman's Clout and Midnight Blinder. Great atmosphere and good company. A great landlord as well.
