In the UK, having half and half (in a pub) is having half a pint of bitter with half a pint of mild, or stout, in a pint glass. Or, it is having half of one thing with half of something else. For instance, in a restaurant, ordering half chips with half rice rather than a full portion of chips, as part of a main meal.
