The Halfway House, Edinburgh

First visit to this pub in ages, nothing much changed, service still slow from gent behind bar, and still selling english beers unfortunately, but on the whole the beer we had was good from the scottish micros. Food on the other hand, left a lot to be desired.......still looking for the meat in the stovies. Sausage and mash (offered with veg that did not appear) were dry and very undercooked, needed gravy, not a meal to remember and certainly our last in here. Our visit was on a warm afternoon, with a reasonsable number in pub and very stuffy atmosphere, but the abiding memory we went away with was the aroma from the gents facilities (we were sat next to it), each time door was opened, that combined with the stuffiness of bar did not make for comfortable eating or drinking. Once a good pub definitely on the down turn, won't be back for while

The Halfway House, Edinburgh

Welcome to Edinburgh's smallest "Wetherspoon's".......just found out this pub has changed hands in recent months......it shows.......poor food and poor choice of beers.....female staff remain very pleasantm poor customer service from others. Think the good beer guide will have a vacant spot next year - most disappointing.
