We decided to have lunch here and booked a table for 20. There was plenty of parking even though the place was packed a good sign. The service was quick and everyone seemed to enjoy their food. I only have one small complaint I ordered an OJ at the bar and I got watered down orange cordial out of the tap it was revolting and sour. Surely the Bradford can sell the proper Orange Juice?

Sorry don't understand how this establishment has good reviews. Terrible customer service, cold fish and chips! Reordered got charged as well and was given a dismissal amount of chips on purpose. Lift your game!!! The only reason I have 2 stars was the beautiful young wait staff member who helped me out and the beautiful lady behind the bar. BTW the mixed grill on your menu isn't the same as what you served! Your cooking staff need to be retrained. All round yuck!

Today I had Chicken Schnitzel with Chips and Diane Gravy, Salad for Lunch there plus a Jack Daniels Bourbon with Pepsi Max and it was delicious, the Staff there are very friendly and the service there was very quick with my Food, Drink which I was very impressed about.

Such a great pub! Kids meals are fantastic. If only more places had kids meals like here! The outdoor playground is amazing. Definitely a highlight for the kiddies. Could spend all day there!!

Terrible. Waited over 1 hour for our food and no apology, just “we’re really busy and it will be ready when it’s ready, nothing we can do”. This was the apparent managers response. No sorry. No here’s some complimentary drinks or snacks, just hopeless customer service. Glad I’m just visiting the area, would hate if this was my local!!! When we did finally get our food it was look-warm. We wished we’d just gone to KFC!!!
