Nestled in the heart of The Purbecks The Halfway Inn is steeped in tradition. Parts of the pub date back some 400 years. We offer all the charms of an Olde-Worlde Dorset Inn.

The Halfway Inn is one of the top places to enjoy freshly cooked food at its best. Our ever changing menu reflects the fresh meat and fish available each day, and covers everything from ribeye steak to homemade pie, and our wonderful Sri Lanken curry.

To finish off your meal why not try one of our homemade desserts, lovingly prepared.
