❤️ THREE YEARS OF THE HALFWAY HOUSE! ❤️

Three years. Where on earth has that time gone?! 🥹

Three years ago this week, Brad and I took the keys to The Halfway House, full of excitement, ambition and probably absolutely no idea what we were letting ourselves in for! 😂

Looking back through hundreds of photos, it’s quite emotional seeing just how much we’ve packed into those three years!

From a complete refurbishment and giving the pub a new lease of life, to countless themed dinner evenings, parties, celebrations, live music and community events. We’ve made some incredible memories and met some truly wonderful people along the way. ❤️

Of course, behind all those lovely photos there’s been plenty of hard work, long days, late nights, stress and the occasional tears! Running a pub certainly isn’t always easy, but seeing it full of laughter, familiar faces and people making memories makes it all worthwhile.

And that’s what The Halfway House has always been about for us. More than just a pub, somewhere people can come together, feel welcome and enjoy themselves. ❤️

To our wonderful customers, regulars, friends and the local community, we genuinely can’t thank you enough. Every meal, every pint, every celebration, every kind word and recommendation has meant more to us than you’ll ever know.

And to our fantastic team, past and present, thank you for being part of our journey. We couldn’t have done it without you!

Would we do it all again? Absolutely. Would we do a few things differently? Probably! 😂

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for supporting us, believing in us and helping make The Halfway House what it is today. ❤️

Here’s to three wonderful years, and many more memories to come! 🥂

Lots of love,

Mitch & Brad ❤️🍻

🎉🍾 WE’RE TURNING THREE! 🍾🎉

This week marks THREE YEARS since we took over The Halfway House, and what a three years it’s been!

There’s been plenty of highs, lots of hard work, probably a few too many stressful moments 😂 but most importantly, some absolutely brilliant memories!🥰

So, we thought what better excuse to throw a party?! 🥳

THIS FRIDAY 16TH OCTOBER – FROM 8PM ’TIL LATE!

🎤 We’ve got one of our absolute favourites, KRIS STEEL, joining us for a night of live music!

🎂 FREE BIRTHDAY CAKE

🍻 DRINK PROMOTIONS throughout the evening!

🥂 And hopefully plenty of you lovely lot joining us for a drink (or five! 👀😂)

On a slightly more serious note…

We genuinely can’t thank everyone enough for the support we’ve had over the last three years. Whether you’re one of our regulars, you’ve joined us for Sunday lunch, celebrated a special occasion with us, or just popped in for a pint, we really do appreciate every single one of you!

We’ve met some wonderful people, made some great friends and had some fantastic times along the way.

We’re incredibly proud of our little pub and everything we’ve achieved so far, and we certainly couldn’t have done it without our brilliant team and all of you supporting us! ❤️

GET YOURSELVES DOWN ON FRIDAY, HAVE A DRINK WITH US AND LET’S CELEBRATE THREE YEARS OF THE HALFWAY HOUSE! 🍻🎉

Mitch & Brad ❤️
