The Fighting Cock — Restaurant in Bradford

This is an old style watering hole with lots of real ale history. I visited this establishment on a Saturday lunchtime on the way to Shipley, and there were only 3 people in it. Maybe it gets better later on. There were about 5 beers on offer (with room for more, apparrently 8). The beer I had was quite good, but later, a few friends arrived (bound for the same destination in Shipley) that didn't like theirs (but I can't say why). The pub itself is in need of some TLC and appears to have been neglected for some time, A bit like the area around it, which was a quiet industrial zone devoid of people. In fact, the whole area appears to be somewhat neglected. There was no food on offer. There is a beer garden available for those balmy days just situated across the narrow road. It was nice to see some of the old memorable decor, fireplaces, and pictures about What was once a beer drinkers milestone is now sliding into disrepair. Perhaps it's a non fashionable district nowadays. I certainly hope it picks up as I would like to try again at a more...

I recently visited this pub in Bradford, and it exceeded my expectations in every way. The atmosphere was absolutely fantastic – warm, welcoming, and with a vibe that made you feel right at home. The crowd was friendly and approachable, and it felt like everyone there was just looking to have a great time together.

The ambiance struck a perfect balance between lively and relaxed, making it the ideal spot to unwind. Whether you’re there to catch up with friends or meet new people, this pub has that unique charm that brings people together. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable night out...

Friendly staff, great home cooked food, and generous portions, with a smoking area & beer garden across the road.

Has a very 'Local mans club' feel to it that makes it less suitable for young patrons, but, it is a pub at the end of the day, not a creche.

Jukebox on the wall means for £1 you can wind up the elderly local men by swanning in onna friday after work and playing nothing but 45minutes of Steps and Britney and theres not a single thing that any of them can...
