Halfway house

Great location, meals at excellent taste and no one will be able to leave hungry, very helpful and friendly staff.

The Halfway house is the home of the legendary hungrymans meals. It’s along the longdowns road coming out of penryn on the way to helston and looks like a roadside bar/​restaurant.
Inside is all wood, with paintings and plaques of fox hunts on the walls along with horse bridles and on the ceiling are hundreds of photos of people looking very full and very happy.
The menu is all pub grub burgers/​steaks/​chicken new yorkers and others, along with starters such as onion rings and garlic mushrooms, they all come in two flavours, halfway and full house. The halfway is an average portion size but the fullhouse is usually huge! Try the fullhouse onion rings and you’ll get a foot long stick of them!
For the truly hungry there’s the real hungrymans that comes in mixed grill/​breakfast and seafood variety, costing around £20 a meal. They have to be the biggest meals i’ve ever seen, on the biggest plates i’ve seen! The mixed grill is a steak on top of chops on top of gammon on top of bacon on top of sausages on top of a mountain of chips and grilled tomatoes, all topped off with four or five fried eggs. If you manage to finish you meal they’ll take your photo and give you a certificate.
A little too much greed in this day and age but it’s definitely worth a pop, just skip a few meals before and after!
