We visited for Sunday lunch today and had a wonderful experience. Most of the time with carveries, service can be non existent and it’s more of a help yourself and be left to your own devices but not at the Bradford! Such warm, welcoming and friendly staff. Max was really attentive and ensured we were looked after well - with regular check ins and service with a smile. Thank you Max!

My husband and I visited The Bradford Arms (Toby) this afternoon. The waitress was friendly enough, I ordered the “melt in the middle roast (Vegetarian option). We had to wait for my roast to be prepared before we could both eat. The waitress informed us my vegetation option was waiting at the food counter ready for me to choose my veg, potatoes etc. myself and my husband went to the counter, it was virtually empty, no rush or bustle! I asked the chap behind the counter for my “Vegetarian option”! I had not had the choice of vegetarian previously, and I chose my accompaniments and we sat down. I cut into the, what I believed to be the vegetarian option! Infant I had been served the fish not vegetarian option, and had eaten a small amount before checking with the waitress , who said it is the melt in the middle vegetarian option! I replied it is pink inside and must be the salmon! The waitress checked and I had been served the wrong option! I was furious but calm and explained I did not order or eat fish! Another senior staff came over and apologised for the mistake, saying they put fish on the vegetarian choice, I explained if you eat fish you are pescatarian, not vegetarian, she appeared to NOT know the difference!!! and fid not seem to understand the gravitas of the the mistake…I may have had a allergy to the option served? I was offered the actual vegetarian choice l had ordered with no charge, but my husband was already half way through his meal (meat) and would have finished by the time mine would have come! I started to feel sick at the thought of eating fish and just wished to leave, hence I left without having a meal. We were not charged, but the experience was upsetting and avoidable. I will never use the Restsurant in future..please learn from my experience and be more vigilant in future!!!!

Decidimos venir a desayunar unos días más tarde, ya que el almuerzo era muy bueno y el desayuno era increíble, pagar en el bar es mucho mejor que esperar para sentarse. La comida estaba bien abastecida, fresca y estaba buenísima, sin esperar a que se cocinaran los artículos, una gran elección y un sabor increíble

Over run with hungry people. We were there having a birthday breakfast for my daughter. We were seated very quickly by the poor over worked waitress. We queued for a15 minutes waiting for sausage bacon eggs to come out, instead we were told they would be another 15 minutes. When the food eventually offered it was anemic, it had been rushed and the bacon sausage barely cooked, I understand people had phoned in sick, that’s not the customers problem. Very bad customer service. Won’t be going back there in a hurry.

Had to book this very last minute as had book a table for 8 at another carvery and when we arrived they had no meat. So went online at 7.15pm and booked for 7.45pm. Arrived at 7.30 and was told that the table would be a few minutes, which was fine we had a drink in the bar while waiting. 7.44 text popped through to say the table was ready a friendly member of staff showed us to our table. All 8 of us had lovely carvery's the plates were warm and the veg hot, definately recommend the spinach with davidstow cheese and the dauphinoise potatoes. 2 of the group had sundae desserts which looked lovely too and they didn't leave any so they must have been good .

Yesterday whilst visiting my mother and sister we decided to go for lunch at the Bradford Arms. Unfortunately we did not decide to leave when left standing at the counter as requested for 10mins (despite the fact that our mother is 91 yrs old) to be seated. The food was terrible. My mother and sister ordered salmon and salad. The salmon was dry and over cooked. The salad consisted a pile of shredded lettuce with two thin slices of tomatoes and two thin slices of cucumber. I ordered the carvery. I received one very thin slice of turkey and a bit of chopped up fatty beef. It was not cheap. The service was terrible and the staff were miserable, possibly because they are understaffed. I would never go there again and definitely would not recommend it!!

Decidimos visitar aquí por brekkie basado en las expectativas de otros establecimientos Toby Carvery no muy lejos. Esperamos que nos sentaran por un minuto con el camarero, quien finalmente nos mostró una mesa que pasaba junto a nosotros una vez que no dijo nada, sin embargo, fue canjeado por limpiar y volver a preparar nuestra mesa para nosotros. No todos los artículos de desayuno estándar estaban disponibles, lo cual fue decepcionante. El ambiente era agradable, con la excepción de un borracho a las 09:30 en un día festivo el lunes por la mañana. Lo vimos siendo escoltado solo para que parte de su grupo regresara 10 minutos más tarde, y uno de los de la banda hizo todo lo posible para perforar una ventana ya rota en su camino. Lo bueno era que estaban en el bar, así que Realmente no los vimos.

This used to be the place to eat for a good carvery. If you were hungry, you knew you'd get a good feed served by friendly,jolly chef. Not sure what's happened to them, maybe the Brexit pa lava is affecting their portion sizes?Recently ate there & you'd think the chef had actually paid for the meat himself and didn't want to dish it up. I have never seen such measly portions of meat ever in a carvery. There were 8 hungry bellies in our party and its a good job we were ok with veg and yorkie pud. I thought we'd all gone veggie for a fleeting moment. Not sure i'd rush to eat there again in a hurry. I did not find this meal value for money. We'd paid £7.49 a head for a yorkshire pudding, veg & gravy. Waitress was friendly enough though and it was very clean and tidy.

Arrived but had to wait for the carvery as there was an issue with the kitchen. We sat and waited till the meat was put out. The vegetables to be honest could have been better. Multi coloured peas, dry stuffing, roast potatoes a little hard. Had to wait a long time for the deserts to come out. Attention to detail is all that’s needed to make this place better. I understand the issue in the kitchen but not with the cooking or reheating of the veg. Restaurant tables and cutlery clean. Staff helpful. I would visit again just to see what the difference would be with a working kitchen.

The service was good and the staff polite and friendly. I ordered a Cheddar cheese sandwich with chutney because I only wanted a light lunch. However, I was astounded to be served the sandwich with a huge plate of roast potatoes and a Yorkshire pudding with gravy. The menu didn't make it clear that it wasn't just a sandwich but was actually a bigger meal than anything I would expect from the main meals menu. Roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding do not go with sandwiches and serving them with sandwiches is simply an enormous waste of food because you can't eat the amount. The sandwich itself was just a disappointing pile of cheese and a few rings of onion on huge doorsteps of bread. There was no nutritional value in the meal - it was just stodge. The restaurant has certainly gone for quantity rather than quality!

Booked a family meal for eleven at the Bradford Arms for my wife's birthday . We were seated in a room at the back of the pub which was very small . The seating at the table was not ideal there was a lack of elbow room. We booked the meal for 3pm which was a mistake as it was so busy it took 25 minutes from joining the queue to returning to the table with your meal. The vegetables and potatoes kept running out and it took a while for fresh ones to arrive. The meal itself was enjoyable but if we were to eat here again we would go earlier or later in the day .

He estado viniendo aquí y desde que puedo recordar y cada año creo que este lugar tiene peor. El servicio es lento y desagradable. El carvery es el peor que he probado! ! ! La carne estaba llena de grasa y se quedaron sin verduras. Todo el mundo se quejaba y el chef dijo que la única cosa que falta era judías verdes pero estoy hecho había dreg termina de zanahorias y guisantes que estaban secos. Tanto salsa ollas estaba vacío. No sé lo que ocurre en la cocina, pero obviamente no hay un montón de grasa! ! !

Good food but needs a good decorate and you sit so close to each table , can't have a proper chat , all needs upgrading .

Place looks ok from the outside and on the surface it does give that impression. However, the small portions of meat, yorkshire puddings swimming in oil, cold vegetables and worn out filthy, food stained carpets and seating certainly does not come to the standard that you would expect.Yes it is budget priced but that does not mean that an expectation should be reached. See photo of the worn out / dangerous carpet. Add this to the poor paintwork tatty furnishings and overall run down decor and a 'dive' would be a fair description. Sorry but shan't return!

After 22 April we said we would not go back food was over cooked chef was grumpy and desserts were a waste of money so we thought maybe the smoke house was taking all custom as its so popular. Anyway our Grandson said please give it another try as its near home so 7 adults two children have just had a very poor time we went for Calvary which is 9.50 today and it was not worth it .we all combined about beef it was rough more fat than meat no choice for children on a Sunday Alfie sat with two sausage and Yorkshire pudding and peas.My son complained about meat and he said it was for all off us .we order desserts even that never we t right then the bill well 7 adults two children is 9 it said 11 it went back twice then my son took it to work out .It's a shame because we have had some lovely times there but twice in less than a month .you should think because of competition they would get there act together .

Me and Becky to her parents out for lunch and was very impressed with it all. The staff were friendly, the food was hot and fresh and service was prompt regarding our drinks. If I had to give the reasons why it wasn't a 5 I waould have to say our wonky table, no crackling and it seemed to take a little while to pay however I shouldn't complain about not giving money away. Overall well worth it.

I went to the Bradford Arms which is a Toby Carvery. I visited it two years ago and had a nice meal. Although there were vacant tables we were told that the restaurant was busy and we had to wait 25 minutes. When seated after waiting to be asked what our order was we went to the carvery. It was 7-30pm and the meat was shrivelled up and the vegetables dried up and in very short supply. At the end of our mediocre meal we waited ages for a waiter/waitress to come to our table and again waited a long time to have our bill settled. By this time the restaurant was empty but the staff had disappeared.The place was scruffy and a great disappointment. Toby Carveries can be hit and miss. My recommendation is to give this establishment a miss.

Scruffy place. Food very average. The food in the dishes on the carvery had been there a while and was not good. I am vegetarian & had to tell the server to stop using meat utensils in the vegetables. Not a good experience and would not go back

We visited for an all you can eat breakfast and wasn't disappointed. There's a good selection of food and for a small extra fee you can have unlimited tea and coffee. Would definitely visit again.

Felt that the staff were busy rushing around. Waited 20 minutes for our drinks to be served. Chef was miserable and didn't appear to want to be there. The portion of meat was poor. A lot of the vegetables needed filling up. Took staff a long time to take the plates when we had finished. We were not even asked if the meal was ok. Waited ages to order puddings and then they had forgotten about us. We had to chase them. Not a great deal of choice on the dessert menu even though they say they have updated the menu. A lot of the puddings appear to be the same. Overall it was a disappointing meal out.

Since retiring, my wife & I have taken to enjoying the Carvery around once a month. Beautiful food, patient staff, peaceful, no rush atmosphere, and the cost is certainly value for money.Our usual server Max, makes sure we enjoy each and every visit, she is a credit to the establishment.We have ventured elsewhere but end up disappointed and return to the Bradford .. long may they continue.

Me and Becky visited here this morning as both fancied a big breakfast and it really hit the spot. The waitress was extremely welcoming and all other staff were very friendly as well.The food was hot and tasty and if I had to be hyper critical the sausages were a little over cooked however were still yummy and the toaster sent the bread out of the back rather than the front however the lovely waitress rectified it immediately. Well worth the money as me and Becky are still stuffed ten hours on.

Popped in tonight for a quick bite, so disappointing. You have to wait to be seat but no one comes to check if anyone is waiting, had to go find someone to ask to be seated, staff members saw the big queue, seated one family and didn't go back to seat the others. food wasn't the best, looked like lunch times food had been kept warm until evening meal, everything was dry. Roast potatoes were disgusting, had to sift through all the hollow ones to try find some plump ones upon trying them, they were Luke warm, inedible, hurt my teeth trying to bite through them then they got stuck in my throat. My plate consisted of turkey roast potatoes and mash, turkey and mash for tea, I could cry! Didn't raise with staff, the 2 members working were running round trying to serve drinks, clear plates and in general looked run off their feet

Ate here in Feb and was saddened to find the roast potatoes weren't up to scratch, so came back in March when the craving for roast potatoes hit again. Toby carvery is all about the meat and roast potatoes for me and when i visited last week And they were just as awful I sulked! I know different seasons mean different potatoes, but I don't think that's the issue, they just don't look like they've been cooked fresh, i know they have to Cook things in advance so they can restock, but they're dried out, luke warm and in some cases wrinkly or like card board and you can't bite through the outer layer. We even tried to visit at lunch time in the hopes that the potatoes would be fresh, but they still looked like they'd been cooked hours before .Other than the potatoes the meat was very nice, staff looked busy and rushed off their feet as always. I've stopped ordering my free refill drink now because by time you get it (half way through your meal) you're not getting your money's worth, you drink half and then it's time to go.

We popped in for a family car very and again the food was excellent, very tasty and lots of it. The server behind the food service counter needs to cheer up as he had a right miserable face on him but apart from that it was a pleasurable meal and we will always be back for more.

This old coach house has declined steadily over the years and is now a clone of all the other carveries in the area. Food is average and tends to be boring and tepid with nothing new seen for years. Take your gran for a cosy meal but there is nothing to excite.

A typical Toby Carvery experience. The staff here are pleasant but otherwise there is nothing here that makes it above your average. Indeed similar to several other Toby places I have reviewed, some parts of the building are downright shabby. Check out the condition of the carpets and especially the floor tiling in the bar areas, disgraceful,

Went here with family, we were shown to our table almost straight away and our drinks order brought over quickly. The food was lovely and nice and hot. Choice of beef turkey or ham. Home made radish sauce. All in all the food and service were excellent.

Saturday 6th August 16, we all went for a Netta’s Birthday Celebration meal to ‘The Bradford Arms’ in Castle Bromwich, which is a Toby Carvery. It had been a long time since we last come here and the pub has since been refurbished, and looked nice.Netta, Phillip My husband and I all had carvery dinners. Netta had roast pork, Phillip has roast beef, My husband had gammon and chicken and I had pork and turkey, they were served with a nice selection of vegetables and thick gravy. We washed the meal down with pints of cider for Phillip, IPA Bitter for My husband, a white grape and lychee J2O for me and a large glass of coke for Netta.We all had desserts Phillip and Netta shared a huge lemon frost ice cream sundae. My husband had the strawberry Eton mess sundae with strawberry sauce and I had the Terry’s chocolate orange ice cream sundae with toffee sauce. The sweets were delicious. The food overall was very good My husband and I treated Netta and Phillip to the meal as part of her Birthday gift.

Visiting for a Monday lunchtime as we fancied a roast , the staff were friendly and understood my food needs due to illness and accommodated them, the food was hot and delicious only fault you don’t get a full Yorkshire pudding now but a piece clearly cut from a larger one ,would be a 5 star if they go back to full one as crunchier which nicer with gravy

Wonderful lunch at a what is a very busy time of year in the hospitallity inustry. All staff were very attentive and pub atmosphere was great. Food was excellent, wiht generous portions. Charlotte; our waitress was brilliant ensuring that we had everything we needed for an enjoyable meal. I had never visited the Red Lion previously, but it will certainly be on my list to take my family to in the future.
