I found this establishment just passed the green, so quite easy to find. I was recommended The Half Moon by staff members from Club 3000 Peterlee, I found it to be pleasant,clean, I was asked to find myself a table and I immediately noticed one particular table and chair, situated on the right hand side (looking from the bar) that one chair is placed up against the partition and the other is back to back with another chair from another table, there was no possible way to be seated here, I only mention this because if this place got so busy and that was the only table left I feel that a wait would ensure before eating your lunch/Dinner. There is through area of seating to the left of the bar, where you can watch TV, the day we were here on Saturday and they had sport showing, I also noted that the Half Moon appears to be a locals bar, as they congregated in the bar area. Your food order is easy all you do is order at the bar and I found the gentleman to be polite and quick to serve me with drinks and then my meal. I have to add I feel that 15.00 for a mixed grill is on the expensive side, and I found other menu items to be equally priced, even so! I found the food to be excellent and without complaint, I would re-visit The...
Read moreDisappointing Experience at The Half Moon!!!! I recently visited The Half Moon Pub/Restaurant and unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. Upon arrival, I was greeted by an arrogant man behind the bar, rather than offering a warm welcome or a ‘how are you’, he made me feel very uninvited. The atmosphere throughout the establishment was unwelcoming, (however the lass who served us was pleasant), with both the staff and the dated decor contributing to this feeling.Despite the anticipation of a pleasant dining experience, the reality fell short. To make matters worse, A friend discovered hairs in her ice cream, which was utterly off-putting. While the food was passable, dessert was (tinned peaches and squirty cream) it certainly did not warrant the 4.5-star rating boasted by the establishment. In my opinion, a more accurate rating would be closer to 2 stars.Overall, my visit to The Half Moon Pub/Restaurant left much to be desired, and I have no intention of returning anytime soon. I hope that management takes this feedback seriously and considers making improvements to create a more welcoming environment...
Read moreMyself and my husband decided to meet up for a quick drink after work and thought we would have a quick drink before heading home, when we arrived the oldish guy who worked there was very rude to us as we walked in and said you not here for food or you? We said no just for a quick drink! He said well we are closing for 3pm so won't be serving food with abrupt voice, we said it's ok just here for a drink! He was not pleasant at all and made us feel rushed that we had to leave. Just a tip from customers please be more nice to your customers being nice goes along way! You wanting customers to come in to a nice happy environment not looking miserable and feeling like you can't be bothered to do your job. So what it was 2pm you had an hour until closing time why turn customers away we are paying not as if we sat there for free. My husband drove passed after 3pm you were still Open and was more...
