Halfway House, Wakefield

Large two bar pub on a crossroads, very busy, mainly with female customers on a Friday lunchtime when I called in. I used the right hand bar as I didn’t see an entrance to the other, it’s actually off the car park. Three pulls on the counter, Leeds Pale (very poor), a Christmas thing from Butcombe and a white handled Black Sheep Flagsheep pull with the clip reversed. Wide range of kegs as well. Off the right hand bar is a large side room, which appears to be a function room and accounted for the young female punters getting in the way. Jazzy wallpaper and carpet with mostly banquette seating, there’s a raised seating area at one end of the bar but I’m not sure of it’s purpose, it probably doubles as a stage; Karaoke and DJ are advertised. Toilets are marked Lads & Lasses and are found in a rear vestibule by the car park entrance door, this confused one old bloke (not me) who thought Lads said Ladies.
