Tapestry Eats in Bradford

I’ll preface this review by saying the place was absolutely heaving, and was desperately understaffed; the owner or manager needs to maybe have a look at pre-Christmas staffing levels because the people looking after us looked completely defeated really early on in the day We went on a very busy pre-Christmas Saturday lunchtime. The atmosphere of the place is gorgeous, really cosy and homely and the log burner upstairs is a lovely touch. Range of options on the small plates menu was great, perfect pub food; but sadly a few items were not on the menu really early on in service (like 10 mins after service started!) We were disappointed by the offer. What we had was tasty, but paying £7 for four tiny fried cheese curds is an absolute rip off, even considering this is in the middle of a tourist zone. Loaded fries were nice, but were basically just fries with sauce, not what I would consider “loaded” and not worth the £9 we paid for them. Tacos were nice but again, £8 for two little ones was steep and more than we’d pay in an actual Mexican restaurant. However on the brighter side the mulled cider was lovely and really did the trick on a chilly day. The staff were polite, but clearly very stressed. Not keen on taking further orders for drinks and far too run off their feet to really provide much service. We asked to sit at the bar for a drink while we waited for a seated table to open up and they definitely weren’t keen on us being there. Disappointing as we were both looking forward to visiting based on glowing reviews! Hire more staff and give your current staff a raise, it looks like they need it.

Maverick's is just thee place to go if you want a solid night out in Bingley, I had nothing but a great time here from beginning to end, I don't think I went to any other venue. I was speaking to the bouncers as there was alot of police around to find Mavericks actually work with the Police where the officers are there in hopes it will decrease trouble, and i think it works as not a single fight broke out. The atmosphere is absolutely incredible full of friendly people just there to have a good time, the demographic is also different as the venue has people from 18-45ish in, so they play music that relates to everyone and everyone does vibe with it. The staff are also really friendly you can see this from the images, always have a smile on their faces, just such great people! The building itself is really big, but it even with the squarfootage, and neon lighting it seems to have a cosy feel to it, which is strange from a club but I guess that's why everyone seems super friendly! The building from the outside is also super pretty, it looks like it could have been an old-school bank time ago. Any they have angel wings on the wall which is always good for photos 📸🔥

Honestly chicken was like rubber today.
