The Halfway Bridge

The personal touch

A charmingly wonky brick pathway leads up to the sprawling Halfway Bridge Inn, Lodsworth, a peaceful stop-over for over 275 years and still a magnet for locals and visitors to this part of the South Downs National Park. After years of neglect, owner Sam Bakose has lovingly restored this atmospheric old inn, uncovering original wood floors (natty parquet included), discovering old photos dumped in the cellar (now on the walls) and decorating the place with natural shades. The pub is a warren of little corners with real fires, reclaimed wooden tables made from old farm gates, bar stools crafted from discarded whisky barrels, and the original kitchen range. There are boxes of dominoes and board games on the pub tables to entertain drinkers, but food is very much the focus, the kitchen turning out everything from updated pub classics to global favourites, with a good showing of local ingredients on the menu. With a pretty enclosed garden and some stylish contemporary bedrooms in the converted former stable block, the Halfway Bridge goes the whole hog.
 

Sticky fingers

Children are welcome in the pub and can stay over in the rooms which have sofa beds or can provide z beds for an additional £30 per night. They also have a children’s menu and can serve smaller portions off the main menu.
 

Muddy paws

Dogs are welcome in the pub (dog biscuits are available) but cannot be accommodated in the bedrooms.
 

Alfresco

Rather like the Halfway Bridge's interior, the lovely garden is a quirky mix of areas, with original brick cobbles, paved terraces and grassy areas.
 

What’s on?

There is an early-bird deal on Monday nights between 6pm-7pm.  
Is there any better way to keep in with the locals than offering a take-away version of classic pub dishes? That’s what they do at the Halfway Bridge, confirming its role as a hub of the community.

The Halfway Bridge

Do not disturb

The six bedrooms and one suite are located in the Cowdray Barn, which is the inn’s former stable yard revamped with bags of style. The single-storey flint and brick building across the road from the pub has been converted to create light and bright rooms with contemporary décor and some original feature in the shape of wooden beams, vaulted ceilings and exposed brick. The overall vibe, though, is chic and modern, with sturdy furniture and some designer touches. Each bedroom has its own separate entrance (a proper stable door at that), while some of the rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over open countryside. It’s a proper little oasis away from the pub. Some of the fashionably neutrally decorated bathrooms have walk-in showers, while others have bathtubs, but it’s the suite that steals the show, providing the possibility of watching the TV while laid out in the tub thanks to a sliding frosted inner window. A footpath at the back of the building leads straight out onto fine walking country.

The Halfway Bridge

Mastering the menu

Chef Gavin Rees was previously at the Crab & Lobster in Sidlesham, which is under the same ownership, and he’s passionate about seasonality and provenance: at appropriate times of the year a forager delivers mushrooms and samphire, local gamekeepers provide pheasants and partridges in winter, and Selsey crabs arrive fresh from the boats in summer. Find a cosy corner in the bar or restaurant, hunker down at a large trestle table, or seek a spot in the garden, and tuck into well-crafted dishes that show respect for British classics and add some global flavours to the mix. Potted game terrine with Cumberland sauce and Melba toast might precede twice-cooked belly of pork, bubble & squeak and cider Sauce, but then again you might plump for salt-and-pepper calamari with chorizo mayonnaise followed by Thai green curry. Pan-seared calves’ liver is on the menu all year round due to popular demand, and all the bar snacks are available for lucky villagers to take-away (fish & chips and scampi are the faves). Puddings aim for comfort in the form of apple and blackberry crumble with homemade bay-scented custard. 
 

On the menu

Bacon and baked Camembert ciabatta with seasonal leaves ££8.75
Devilled lamb’s kidneys on toasted wholemeal bread £7.95
Chicken Thai green curry and jasmine rice (always on!) £14.75
Moroccan-style braised lamb shank, apricot, prunes and toasted almond and minted pearl couscous £17.85
Cherry and almond frangipane tart with vanilla tonka bean ice cream £6.50

Sunday Roasts

They have at least 2 roasts – always Roast Prime Sirloin of Beef and another roast of the week such as pork. In addition, you might find seasonal roasts such as pheasant or partridge sourced from local gamekeepers.
 

Foodie Extras

Breakfast is available all week to non-residents, with everything from a muffin topped with scrambled eggs and bacon to a full-on English breakfast with black pudding and hash browns. Plans are afoot to build an outdoor pizza oven on the terrace.  
 

Time to Eat

Breakfast: 8am - 10am (but flexible)
Lunch: 12 noon - 2.30pm (12 noon - 6pm Saturday & Sunday)
Dinner: 6pm - 9.30pm (10pm Friday & Saturday, 9pm Sunday)

Wild mushrooms & samphire – from a local forager
Selsey Crab & Lobster – from a local boat
Meat – sourced from a local butcher
Ice Cream - from local Mooka Ice Cream, Petersfield (www.mooka.co.uk) 
 

Behind the bar

The ales are so local they only have to travel 500 metres up the road from the Langham Brewery; the staples behind the bar are their Best Bitter and Halfway to Heaven (a nod to the loyalty of the pub). Langham’s supplies beer in the unusual ‘pin’ units, which is smaller than usual and means the pub can get through it faster, ensuring it stays fresher. You might also find a guest beer such as Arundel Gold from nearby Arundel Brewery.  It’s not all about beer, though, with an excellent variety of other local and carefully sourced drinks on offer: the award-winning Blackdown distillery’s vodka and gin, for example, and sparkling wines from Upperton and Tinwood Vineyards. If you just fancy a cup of tea, expect organic options sourced from Joe’s in London. The Halfway Bridge also has its own coffee bean mix (roasted and blended for the pub in Littlehampton).
 

Bar snacks

Baked Camembert and grilled sweet marinated pepper ciabatta with mixed leaves
Salmon & haddock fishcakes with French-style peas
Grilled goats’ cheese croûte salad with dressed rocket, pomegranate, grape & toasted walnuts

Reviews

The Telegraph Travel: Pub Review September 2014, Sophie Atherton
"The concept of the coaching inn is genius. You break your journey, rest, eat and drink – and then and only then, after you’ve enjoyed the best hospitality said hostelry can offer, climb into another coach to be driven off on the next leg....The pub’s interior is labyrinthine, with many rooms in which to eat or drink, all of which have their own individual feel – The Halfway Bridge is well placed to be all things to all people. Solid wood tables in one room are somewhat rustically distressed: despite the classy leather chairs and contemporary place settings, these conjure an image of buxom barmaids trying to keep bawdy patrons in check and a trio of highwaymen in the corner, plotting their next raid. In another room, a huge fireplace contains a small wood-burning stove but also a magnificent triple-panelled back plate. A sizeable pile of logs tells you how cosy The Halfway Bridge would be on a cold day. Not that this saved the pub from the scourge of last winter’s storms and ensuing power cuts – which threatened to scupper festivities from Christmas Eve until Boxing Day. The friendly and super-capable Canadian bartender Joy explained to me how they moved as many bookings as they could to sister pub the Crab & Lobster in Sidlesham, and offered everyone else a free meal in compensation. Although I was making use of the inn in the traditional sense of breaking my journey, I didn’t have a coachman to help me with the next bit – and I didn’t have time to try the food. It looked hearty and ambitious, if a little expensive (£28 for fillet steak). But if it’s anything like the fare at the aforementioned Crab & Lobster, it’ll be worth the money. Bring on the age of driverless cars – or a return to the glory days of the coaching inn. If they are all as good as this, I feel a UK tour coming on …"

Although we make reasonable efforts to update the information on our site, we make no representations, warranties or guarantees, whether express or implied, that the content on our site is accurate, complete or up-to-date.

We reserve the right to edit any comments left by contributors to the site.


BOOKINGS AND VOUCHERS

Our site is an online platform that allows you to search for and book accommodation. We are acting as disclosed agent for the relevant inns featured on our site. This means that any booking or contractual arrangement you make with any entity featured on our site is made with that entity, and not with us. By entering information into the booking software, you authorise us to pass on all relevant information to those entities with whom you are seeking to make a reservation, and to control and/or process such data in accordance with the provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998. In order to make a booking you are required to provide credit card details. We will enable the relevant inn to gain access to the credit card details via the site in the event of any cancellation and a cancellation charge is due. By making a booking you are expressly authorising access to and use of such data and for the relevant inn to deduct the cancellation charges notified to you in the event of a cancellation.

Bookings will be subject to the terms and conditions of the individual entity with whom you contract, including any cancellation polices they may apply. It is your responsibility to check the terms of such entities before you enter your contract with them. If you wish to cancel a booking, you must cancel using the site unless exceptional circumstances do not permit you to gain access to the site, in which case you should liaise directly with the inn concerned. In either case you may be liable for cancellation charges. Whenever your booking is cancelled whether directly or via the site, it is your responsibility to check your account with HIP to confirm the booking has been cancelled and to be notified of any relevant charges (and to pay them). If you do not attend the inn on the dates booked, this will be treated as a cancellation by the relevant inn on the applicable terms. The accommodation provider’s cancellation policy may continue to apply after your arrival at your inn. In the event that you decide to shorten the duration of your stay, such a request will be dealt with at the discretion of the accommodation provider, and not by us in our capacity as the booking agent. If you amend your booking in this way there may be a cancellation fee levied by the accommodation provider and you should refer to the provider’s cancellation policy for more details. Where the accommodation provider requires a minimum stay for rooms attracting a certain price, this will be clearly stated on our site prior to booking.

We are not responsible for inaccuracies in the booking process; you must check carefully the agreed dates and prices before completing your booking. In particular, you are advised to check the availability of any offers, promotional codes, or the acceptance of gift vouchers before completing the booking, as well as whether any special requirements you may have can be met. Please note that Inn Places Special Gifts may not be available at all the inns where special promotions are being run, and such promotions may have additional terms and conditions applicable.

Although we gather credit card information to secure the booking, the booking will be with the relevant inn to whom, by virtue of you starting the booking process you authorise us to transmit the credit card information.

To confirm a booking, you must be authorised to make the booking by all the persons named on the booking and their parent or guardian for all party members who are under 18 when the booking is made. By making the booking, you are confirming that all persons named on the booking accept the terms and that you will inform the other persons named on the booking of the confirmation details and any other appropriate information. By making the booking you also become responsible for making all payments due under the booking.

The display of accommodation for hire on the site is an invitation to treat only.

By completing and submitting the booking form you are making an offer to book temporary accommodation room nights, which if accepted by accommodation providers, will result in a binding contract made between you and the accommodation provider.

Completing the booking process online does not constitute acceptance of your offer. We will send you an email confirmation following your booking on behalf of the accommodation provider confirming acceptance of your offer and forming the legally binding contract subject to any applicable terms and conditions.

Because the contract for your accommodation is between you and the relevant inn, any queries or concerns should be addressed to them. If you have a problem during your visit, this must be reported to the inn immediately. If you fail to follow this procedure there will be less opportunity for the inn to investigate and rectify your complaint. The amount of compensation you may be entitled to from the inn may be reduced or you may not receive any at all depending upon the circumstances. If you wish to complain when you return home, you should address your complaint to the inn concerned.
