Café Oasis — Restaurant in Bradford

Down-to-earth, friendly cafe with a surprisingly wide menu for a small place.

Most impressive is the daily variety of hot lunches with fresh vegetables.

The second toilet is a...

I got the Christmas special sandwich, far too much cranberry, the turkey and stuffing was quite nice, I also ordered at an extra cost a side of roast potatoes as offered on the menu these came cold and about 5 small ones. But the laughable part of my meal was the salad. A Slice of cucumber and a quarter of a tomato !! Won’t be using...

Slow service. Had a sausage and egg sandwich. The bread was cheap and stale, almost like it was from one of those catering packs where all the teacakes have been pure cut and had been left out in the open overnight. The sausages seemed to have been left in the hot counter too long and the egg that had been freshly made was over cooked. To top it all they used cheap brown sauce as opposed...
