The Halfway is a pub and restaurant at 247 Cathedral Road in Pontcanna, Cardiff. It combines the comfortable character of a neighbourhood pub with a food programme that changes through the weekend, giving regulars a reason to check what is being served on each visit.
Home cooked pub meals form the core selection, with generous versions of familiar dishes such as ham, egg and chips, beef lasagne and open grill burgers. Starters and lighter plates extend the choice, including tempura prawns, cauliflower wings and halloumi fries with hot honey.
Traditional Sunday lunch uses meat from local farms and suppliers with seasonal vegetables, gravy, Yorkshire puddings and homemade cauliflower cheese. During warmer months a ploughman’s lunch provides an alternative, while Friday street food events and occasional pop-up kitchens introduce changing regional and international flavours.
Live music and visiting food traders make the schedule part of the experience, so checking the latest programme is useful before travelling. Plant based choices are included, but guests with allergies should discuss individual dishes, pop-up menus and shared preparation with the team before ordering.
