Airedale Heifer in Bradford

Really good food if you don’t mind a 3 hour wait. Staff pretty not great

very very long wait. food was really nice but deffo not worth the time

Recommended by a friend. We had a fantastic meal. I can't recommend it highly enough. Next time we visit the area, we'll definitely be back.

Drinks were great, especially the cocktail of the week. Our server Kim was super lovely and friendly, even shared her cocktail recipe with us! Will definitely be back.

Been to the Heifer a few times, unfortunately they do not fail to disappoint. I would like to love this place, but but I am constantly let down. I've tried here for lunch previously, to be asked if I had a reservation, with not another customer in the place, then uming and are'ing for 15minutes if they have a seat. .We then sat down and they would not give us the lunch menu. (We left, and went to the Brown Cow). This latest time I attended with a couple of colleagues, just for a pint or two, before going elsewhere for food. Firstly we were ignored, in favour of food orders, then we were moved off a table for a so called reservation to a tiny area at the end of the bar ( the table had wrappers and mini cheddars all over it and no reserved sign) an hour and a half later when the reservation arrived, there were loads of available tables. I like the idea of the Airedale Heifer, but unfortunately cannot recommend it at all. If you want a quiet drink, go to the Busfeild arms in East Morton. If you want food, try the Brown cow in Bingley.

Delicious food, helpful and friendly staff and a good atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Good food and selection of beers 🍻

I really enjoyed this place, went for a Sunday lunch which was very nice and reasonably priced. Cheesecake was a bit of a small portion for the price. Next time I'd just have a coffee because the mains were a good size. Great that it had an accessible toilet. Beer garden was really big and looked very comfortable. The staff were very welcoming and efficient. Will definitely return.

Lunch ok. Very dog friendly and Ted loved his lunch.

Love the cask ale they brew their own on site, lovely food, their own gin & friendly staff.

The food was plentiful, and all 6 mains arrived together.

Lovely place and lovely food, but I felt very short changed as a vegetarian. Very little choice - veggie sausages with the veg from the Sunday dinners or vegetable lasagne. It felt like I'd gone back in time 30 years. I hope the choice improves when the new menu is complete but it felt very much like vegetarians were only catered for grudgingly.

Upon entering we waited to be seated at the counter as requested but no staff member was present. The telephone at the counter rang and a staff member appeared and answered the call. It was clearly someone making a reservation for a later date. It was disappointing to be kept waiting and showed that their priority is not with customers who are already there and waiting. No apology offered for keeping us waiting a further period of time. Food always to a good standard and lovely surroundings.

Busy place. Lovely food and great service. Update for 2023: We went again today and the roast beef was amazing. Update for 2024: Went today for a meal for four. I had burrito which was okay. Mum's OH had a roast which looked good. Mozzarella sticks were good. Go for the blooming onion. Nice ale too which they make. 3 mains. 3.5 pints. 1 starter. 1 blooming onion. 3 puds, 2 hot drinks and one diet coke less than £105.

Hubby & I had a fabulous meal here. Well cooked, tasty food with a slight twist on standard. Lovely atmosphere too. Prices were average

Very friendly staff, Kim was amazing.

Excellent tasy food , great homebrewed beer all served by friendly staff in a lovely relaxing setting with a stunning beer garden. Tequila blonde is a favourite ale of mine 💙 😍

Boothroyd decided on a 5* review based on the beer range. They sell six real ales from the Bridgehousr brewery. Only had their beers a couple of times before. Good pints of Golden and also a Pale Ale. A large pub that has most tables laid out for food. A pricey pub menu. A good size beer garden. My missus rates the wine. Definitely a destination pub for a night out.

Had a meal tonight. We all enjoyed the food. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We couldn't have wished for better service. Will definitely be returning.

Limited menu, but the food we ordered was very nice.

Please don't organise an event here! Food poor and not enough staff to even wash a glass The bar was half full of dirty glasses. Stay clear. Staff obviously don't like their jobs as they look miserable. After this review I was promised this won't happen again 🤞

Excellent food all staff very helpful

Great food and lovely pub/restaurant. Pie was delicious 😋

The food was good but the service was a bit hit and miss.

Food was amazing huge inside and out with one of the biggest gardens for a pub/restaurant. Outside has many areas with shelter as well with their own brew served only here

Staff were friendly however drinks and food were very slow and the food was terrible. Went on a busy Monday, maybe they didn’t anticipate how busy it was going to be, waited best part of an hour for two mediocre “burritos”. These consisted of rather bland vegetables and chicken in a wrap with what tasted like microwaveable rice, with some curdled soured cream on the side. I would be fascinated to see what their spaghetti meatball burrito would have been like, and all of their other burrito concoctions. I think a menu revamp would benefit. I don’t think we will be going back any time soon.

Food average. Meat was tough to cut. Staff friendly. Fairly quiet for a Sunday lunch time.

Only had a drink but the price for that type of pub is very reasonable, and it's a more traditional pub so the atmosphere is great.

I stay in Keighley regularly for work and I always go to the Heifer for food, it's amazing. Especially the steak night on Tuesdays.

I love this place, and they do an amazing chicken gyro. Every time my friend and I go for dinner, that is our go-to. Would really recommend it, but also book also gets busy. Fabulous love it

Called for lunch on a quiestish Monday. Spent £120. Food absolutely amazing!! Waitresses friendly and efficient. Bar manager (assuming) guy could have been more welcoming. Both on arrival and leaving. We walked past him when we were going and briefly spoke asking if everything with the bill had been settled (as we'd ordered drinks and food seperately) and he just walked off whilst talking - never even said thanks for coming or hope you enjoyed it. Shame really as aside from the food the service is equally as important.

We were shown straight to our table even before sitting down we were asked which drinks we would like? ? As we hadn't seen or had a sample of the excellent beers on offer I was disappointed with this 😕 we did go to the bar went and sat down and waited a while before I had to ask a waiter if we could be served some drinks? (The 1st waiter never came back to us) the 4 of us had food starters and mains the black pudding and pulled pork stack followed by cow pie were excellent good ingredients very tasty well worth waiting for. ✋️

Nice pub with a friendly atmosphere great food

Really good menu and the service is always quick and friendly.

Had a delightful pint of Bowlands in the beer garden. Definitely go again.

We have been many times but our most recent experience tells me there has been a change. The rare beef on the Sunday lunch was one thick slice of topside. It had clearly been seared but that was it, the inside wasn't cooked and a dinner knife wouldn't cut through it, rare beef should cut easily. It won't stop us returning but it was disappointing. An excuse given by a staff member was that the Chef used very sharp knives, well yes, I would hope a Chef wouldn't use a dull knife but no idea what that had to do with it. The meal wasn't charged for so that was fair enough, but then when I paid the bill, there were items on it that we hadn't had Please get this place back to its high standards.

Lovely service and friendly atmosphere. Will return.

Great beer garden, has 'cabins' with sofas and chairs etc. Dog friendly with a nice lawn for them to spread out on. Staff seem nice x

Sunday roast dinner was served in record time. Good enough but nothing outstanding

Nice premises. Friendly staff. Long wait for food. One meal nearly cold when brought to table and was changed by staff.

Review of People First's Visit to The Airedale Heifer in Riddlesden Our recent visit to The Airedale Heifer in Riddlesden with approximately 40 members was a delightful experience. The food was served promptly and tasted amazing, receiving unanimous praise from our group. The staff were exceptionally accommodating and friendly, ensuring everyone felt welcome and well-cared-for. The venue itself provided a pleasant atmosphere with a nice space and a good range of drinks to choose from. Special thanks to the manager, Becky, who was personable and understanding, especially when additional members joined us unexpectedly on what was already a busy day for the restaurant. Altogether, it was a great visit and we are looking forward to coming again in the future.

Attended with People First, great spaces venue, well maintained inside and out. Considering our large group, orders well well orchestrated and executed. Our meals were all served at the same time and food was served piping hot. Staff were amazing 👏 😍

Beautiful pub, with delicious food at affordable prices. Can't wait to visit again

Went on Sunday with a party of 10 people for a birthday celebration. Took ages for our orders to be taken and even longer for the meals to appear, we gave up on desserts as we'd already been there 2 hours. Food was good, the garden was lovely but wouldn't go back.

Must say food was fantastic had to wait abit only because it was very busy and thak your staff really plesent and helpful

We really enjoyed our visit to The Airdale Heifer today. We called in for lunch after a visit to East Riddlesden Hall. The food was delicious but most importantly the staff were so nice - they all deserve full praise for how friendly and helpful they all were.

We came by the Airedale Heifer by chance, and to be fair, it was a bit of a suprise. It was very nice. We both had the Sunday roast, the presentation was good, and the food was really good. Would recommend the deserts as well. Couldn't fault it. Definitely deserves another visit. It looks like a great place to take your kids.

Never disappoint always a good go to for both food and drinks

Busy, great food at reasonable prices. Good selection of Bridge House Brewery beers, brewed on site.

Nice ambience, friendly staff, good food

I booked and pre ordered our meals for 12 people. Table set for 10 people. Waited over 40 minutes for the meals, out of the 12 meals, 4 were totally wrong with missing food in one. Lip stick on glass of wine, had to wait a further 20 minutes for it to be changed. Staff were good but the service was awful. Brought all complaints up with the manager. This meal was a celebration meal for my wife's birthday. I would NEVER RECOMMEND this hostiliry to anyone.

Such a fab night last night at the Psychic Evening. Becky and the team looked after us all brilliantly. Nothing was too much trouble at all. The food was delicious and the evening was so interesting. Well worth the money! Great time was had! Thanks again x

Lovely food, service and food. You got a "Flora 5 stars"

Fairly quiet. Food good and we were a large group unbooked. Despite this and warning we may have a longer than normal wait food served in good time. Also reasonable price.

This is our favourite place to go for dinner because it's lovely, has great Gluten Free options and we can take our dog. I arranged a little party for my mum this week and the staff were awesome, the food was great and everyone had a lovely time. We will be back many many times :)

Went for a surprise 50th birthday meal for my cousin, our meal was lovely and hubby's pudding was amazing it was that big we shared it.

Nice place to sit and enjoy one of the many beers brewed on site

We just had drinks here which were bridgehouse beers that were in tip top condition!

Well, what a change since last time we visited.. Not for the better, unfortunately. The food was ok, not the best I've had. The sticky toffee pudding was terrible, tastless, the toffee sauce was like water, and you could tell it had just been reheated in the good old microwave! It was that bad I left it, and that's a 1st for me where puddings are concerned!. The lovely lady who came to clear up noticed that the pudding was left and asked if all was OK, to which I explained what was wrong with it, and to my surprise, she agreed with everything I said, even the bit about it been reheated in the microwave. I'm sorry, but would you pay nearly £7 for a pudding like that?. Also, what was the chef thinking that sending a pudding out like that was acceptable?. The lady in charge took the pudding off the bill, which was very kind of her. Now, would I go again? No. There are better places to eat for the price, their charging, and much better food, too. Sorry if this upsets anyone, but it's my honest opinion. 🙂

I brought my family for a meal tonight to the Airedale Heifer for my son’s 15th Birthday and was served the worst roast dinner that I have had in a long time. The turkey was dry, the Yorkshire puddings were burnt and the veg and mash was minimal. I asked for more veg and the waitress told me I had to buy an extra portion. I was asked by one of the other staff how the meal was and I mentioned my disappointment of which she said that she’d speak to her manager and see if ‘she could do something with the bill’. To my disgust when it was time to pay they insisted that we pay full price. Absolutely shocking service Airedale Heiffer

Nice pub, drinks overpriced (wine) think it depends on what food you have, mine was Ok, ( fish and chips) but everyone else enjoyed what they had. Lovely friendly staff though.

My partner and inlaws had recommended I go here, and I can't thank them enough. The brisket was gorgeous, the Yorkshire pudding was fluffy and crunchy, and the gravy was to die for.

Mother's Day meal. It was extremely busy,staff worked extremely hard. The food was lovely

First time in a very long time definitely returning food and service excellent

Nice 'Sunday roast' main course. Nice staff. Menu could do with a few more options...

Very friendly atmosphere waitresses couldn't do enough for you would highly recommend.

Food not very hot roast potatoes could have done with being In longer. This is the opinion of all 5 of us ( we ad sunday lunch ) bit disappointing S previous visits have been fine

Great food and service was excellent 👌 👍 👏 😀

Very disappointed as I’d seen good reviews. Went for Sunday dinner and the whole place was loud and chaotic. We were sat for 30 mins before my husband had to go seek someone out to take our food order. No vegetarian Sunday dinner left but was offered to have a veggie Sunday roast without the roast ie a plate of veg and gravy! As there was only 2 other veggie options that I didn’t want I did in the end decide to have the Sunday dinner accompaniments with an extra Yorkshire pudding. I should say the Yorkshire puddings were great as was the mash but the roast potatoes weren’t crispy at all. When it came to paying the bill I was gobsmacked to see that we had been charged full price for my veggie ‘Sunday dinner’ when it was just accompaniments and no nut roast. Paying the same to get less doesn’t seem right. Needless to say we won’t be returning.

Just had a Sunday dinner. It was absolutely amazing. The staff are incredible and it’s lovely to see their dogs relaxed around the pub. We cannot wait to return

We went back here for our Sunday evening meal as we enjoyed it the 1st time. Unfortunately the chicken strips were friend with fish, tasted funky, then we waited for over an hour to receive 1 lasagne which was just like warm and the pie which was also luke warm. Pie on its own is almost £20. Total bill just under £60, not great experience and I don't think we will be going back there. A shame as we thought this could be our local 😏

We enjoyed a family Sunday lunch here. Service was great, and the friendly atmosphere made the visit most memorable.

We often come for a meal and can never really complain. Lovely food and reasonably priced. We really enjoy coming when Becky is working. She is really attentive and goes the extra mile to make sure we enjoy our visit. Thank you x

Good food and service,great night 🤓👍

Best beer in the area. Brewed onsite by someone who knows his stuff.

Was our first visit,to celebrate my partners birthday. We were a party of 9 and I have to say we had a lovely meal with great service and food, we will definitely be returning in the near future, thank-you for looking after us 😋

The food is good value. The staff are really friendly, we sat in the garden which is lovely on a summers day.

Fab food, fab service, fab staff!

Always a decent meal and their cow pie is great. You never leave hungry

Always good food, team always helpful and chatty , good place to just go for a drink as well.

Great friendly staff!! The ladies on shift couldn’t do enough for us! The food is great value for money and very tasty! I had the bacon cheese burger that was huge and my parents opted for fish and chips and a salad! Great variety. Next time I’m going for a big steak challenge I think!!

We had a very lovely meal,meat pie.The service was top class,personnel help and friendly.

We stopped here on our way to a training meeting, the food was exceptional. I had the very tasty cow pie and yet the roast dinner looked particularly good. Decor is typically pub style but with some historical features and real fires.

A nice traditional pub with enough choice for all the family.

Some great beers brewed in site or locally

Ace! Had a fab family get together...13 of us...apart from a wee hitch with a hard nut roast, which was sent back and a better one returned, all was grand. And the staff knew what they were doing and there were enough of them too...quite rare these days. Well worth a try. Will go there again definitely.

Love this place. My parents first choice of resteraunts near us. The food is so good and there are so many options. My favourite is the Chicken Gyros. Would definitely recommend here.

We went for christmas dinner 2023. Food was mediocre, not what i would expect at £85 per head, think a carvery might have provided more. Same orders, ie turkey dinner, some plates missing carrots, no uniformity in what was delivered to every one. Same with the puddings, the duo pudding, some got shortbread biscuits some didnt. A little disappointed to say the least

This is a great place to eat, the food is amazing, staff are friendly and the service is overall great!

Delicious fieh and chips, great setcice, decent choice of whiskey.

An old style pub feel serving lovely food.

Update... Not a pub. 2 stars removed from previous review. Called in for a couple of pints 8:30 last night (Friday, 1 December) and was refused service due to 'private party'. I was wondering why there were 2 barmen doing nothing - normally drink service is poor as they focus on clients that are having a meal. I couldn't even get a pint to take outside (in the freezing cold). They were waiting for drink orders from the diners. Previous review... Great beer, good food. There's a brewery on site but the pub doesn't celebrate the essence of a good pub - the Ale, and the atmosphere that could be generated from a real ale pub. Instead it caters (very well) to those eating out. Shame, for me. I want a pub to be a pub and not a restaurant. Bonus point for being dog friendly. Mixed emotions, obviously.

A bit hit and miss. Most dishes very good. Staff great. Easy to find and lots of parking. Nachos and Lasagne lacklustre. Lots of kids, which we are fine with, but as many dogs, which we're not fine with when eating. We were seated in the middle of the room, near two doors and the welcome podium and bar, so there was a great deal of 'traffic' all around us, which with the dogs barking on top was not warm or relaxing. My beer was a hurriedly chosen Pumpkin spice beer. It was that, but nothing I'll have again. We planned ahead and chose from the Autumn menu. On arrival at 6pm we were told only the Sunday lunch menu was available. That grated a bit. We had a decent meal but not the birthday celebration we had wanted.

Worth a second visit. Starter arrived amazingly quick. Great main course and dessert. Paying bill took a while. Garden is great. Better in summer no doubt. Staff great. Will be back

We booked in advance, and we were warned in could be up to an hour before we got our food. But we were sat with empty plates after our starter and main for 20 minutes. It was busy when we arrived. But after we had finished our starter it was quiet. Food brilliant service poor.

Excellent all round very well done!!!!

Rather cold in the dining area.

A brilliant evening that was enjoyed by a my company 😀

Always a lovely evening. One of our favourites now

Quality meal. Roast dinner was beautiful. Cater well for kids
