SquareMeal Review of Halfway Bridge Inn

Midway between Midhurst & Petworth on the busy A272, this remodelled 17th-century inn offers a modern take on the traditional hostelry-with-lodgings theme. A series of cosy interconnecting rooms includes a bar with a polished wood counter & fashionable leather seating which emanates a modern wine-bar vibe, while beams & winter fires in other traditional areas evoke something more conventionally pubby. Food is a driving force wherever you sit, with fresh, quality ingredients & a crowd-pleasing menu of safe British cooking spanning everything from classic beer-battered cod (with chips & tartare sauce) or pan-seared calf’s liver (with bubble & squeak) to more upmarket whole baked sea bass or rib-eye steak (again, offered with mainstream accompaniments). Puds are in the comforting mould of upside-down treacle & apple sponge, while a sheltered alfresco terrace & garden provide that fair-weather drawcard.

Avoid! Avoid! Avoid!

Avoid! Avoid! Avoid!


Utterly dreadful; in summary awful food, terrible atmosphere, uncaring service and all at extortionate rip off prices.


French onion soup at £10.50 tasted like balsamic vinegar with stewed onions.

Suet beef pie £28.00 overcooked dry and chewy suet, sparse amount of overcooked beef filling with grey coloured cabbage.

Cheeseburger £21.00 but no cheese - cheese apparently out of stock on a Thursday lunch time. Other cheese on menu but not available as an option for our burger instead. The burger meat was unidentifiable reconstituted or very cheap soggy processed meat.

Poor staff attitude to serving customers. Didn't seem bothered; had a don't care attitude.

Radiators not on and fire place not lit on a very cold November day with manager working in scarf and coat yet open toe flip flops!


A birthday so felt uncomfortable to complain.

We felt utterly cheated £120 for 3 of us. A totally disappointing experience. In this day and age with a struggling hospitality industry you don't expect it to be so bad.


We have been many times and have always loved this place. Really gone down hill.
