German term or phrase: half way Verpflegung
A Denglisch gem! Context - golfing hotel holiday package

"inklusive Halbpension und Half way Verpflegung"

Is this some way golfing-related? (half-way house or something). Unfortunately they don't elaborate anywhere what you exactly get for your half way Verpflegung. Anyone out that got any bright ideas?

Natalie, you might have to reword this according to your needs, but 'halfway house' is a common term for this concept. Cheers, R.

Vepflegung am neunten.


Explanation:
This rings a bell only because on your golfing context. Often, when playing golf in a competition, snacks and drinks will be served at the ninth hole (half way round). Certainly it is not any kind of "standard" tourism terminology.

neutral  Edith Kelly: I also got it wrong first time, it's German to English asker wants, a bit misleading.

agree  Derek Gill Franßen: Correct, but your rendition "snacks and drinks will be served at the ninth hole (half way round)" is probably a bit long for where it will appear. :-)
