The Acorn Inn in Bradford

Slightly disappointed to arrive on a lovely Saturday afternoon at 3.00pm to find the doors locked and nobody around. The opening times are too varied and not clear enough.

Lovely little pub. Friendly staff, quickly served and a good choice of beers. Just how a pub should be and what you want after a good walk!

Came to Eldwick with my partner on a little getaway and the Acorn was the pub local to where we were staying. We came in on our first night there and we were chatting to the manager Anthony. He told us of a lovely walk to go on and we were planning to come back the next day to tell him we went and really enjoyed it, but didn’t make it back in time! Wanted to say a big thank you for your hospitality and help! Hopefully we can see you again soon and best of luck with the pub! Phoebe and Gary

We have been visiting The Acorn for many many years and have seen over the years it’s many ups and unfortunately it’s many downs, so we thought that we would take a look after a break at the new ownership and we are so glad that we did. A lot of time, effort and money has been spent on the interior refurbishment and it shows, the pub has once again been taken back to a proper cosy warm and friendly traditional community pub. A shout out also to the lovely friendly Landlord who made everyone who came in feel very welcome. We would certainly recommend a visit.

CLOSED!!!!! When visited on 19th April 2024. I suspect it's looking for new owners.

Don't even get served. Serve regulars before anybody else. Live music on..... Stopped at 6.30. Shut the place down.

Perfect place for an army reunion . Great atmosphere. My only gripe was on my visit there was no access to vegetarian food.

dont do food but they have a woodfired and burger truck in the car park A lovely friendly pub well worth a visit.

Alby is a top landlord. Warm friendly welcome amis to please. Dough baby lovely pizzas. Totally recommend great selection off ales and larger.

Proper village pub. No food but a good choice of well kept real ales. Friendly and welcoming landlord and staff.

Really nice pub tucked away from the main road

It's a pub pub! Wet sales only (if you discount nuts and crisps) strong local following with quality ales and lagers on draft. Child and dog freindly. A pub that is doing it's best to be a local amenity that has strong support from regulars.

I enjoyed my night out at the acorn Inn with my sister and her friend the land lord and bar staff made me feel welcome so a big thank you

Lovely pub in a wonderful place.

Excellent pub with fantastic staff

Peacock roadshow catered for 100 guest brilliant location and venue get in touch with Graham

Terrible service from the landlord of the pub! Not one word was muttered when I ordered a pint, from point of sale to payment. Not a welcoming experience. Shame as the other pubs as part of Pickles pubs have a completely different vibe and have enjoyed some great nights there!!

Love calling here, nice and cosy in Winter and can sit out in Summer. Dog friendly too and has Coors!

Quiet friendly village pub tucked away at the edge of Eldwick.

No food served here but we got talking to the young barman Ethan.... What a lovely young man! Really enjoyed our time there and chatting to Ethan! His mother should be really proud of him Will! 👍👍❤ .. Will visit again.

Cozy country pub, friendly staff. Good selection of beverages. Dog friendly too. Needs a real Xmas tree though 🤣😂

A welcome pint after a walk from Shipley Glen over High Eldwick. All clean and distanced. Pickles pubs app to order and pay. Taylor's Landlord and a spot of sunshine!

Staff very efficient and friendly.

Great village pub which is much improved under current manager

My local. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Good drink selection. Great beers

Cracking village pub with some great beers

This is a great little pub just off Baildon Moor. Very friendly and welcoming staff who provide great service. We regularly go to the pub quiz on Tuesday evening, which is great fun. Although it's not around the corner it's definitely my go-to local.

Enjoyed the music event, nice beer.

Unfortunately this pub took a bit of a nosedive not so long ago, but now thank goodness it is back on top of it’s game. The Landlady is excellent, her expertise and experience shows, the customers and locals are returning and the pub has for the first time in awhile a nice atmosphere attracting families and walkers alike. Spotlessly clean with a good choice of beers and cider. I would certainly recommend a visit.

Local pub friendly staff would recommend

Great service, very helpful staff with Good quantity beers

Nice for a pint in the sun. Not so good if you're hungry. Not even plain crisps! Only smoked prawns ranchero style.

Dog friendly, people friendly, nice clientele, good service, what more do you want! Even sunshine!!! In the beer garden- excellent.

Went for a walk from Saltaire through Shipley Glen and stopped here. The barman was very friendly and let me charge my phone safely behind the bar while I had a nice pint in the sun. Great pub and great find on a brilliant walking route.

Really nice cosy countryside pub with live performances from time to time. Great start for a ramble and yes all walkers are welcome!

Nice place. Good beer selection. Recommended.

Hemos ido a este pub durante muchos años y he experimentado muchos altibajos con, lamentablemente por un largo tiempo que estaba caído, y no muy agradable. Después de un largo descanso nos topamos de nuevo para tomar una copa y me alegro de haberlo hecho. El lugar es muy limpio, tiene un ambiente muy agradable y fue bueno ver el excursionistas eran volver a visitar, el caballero del bar era muy amable y profesional, y no por la cola desconcertaba en el bar que él atendido con rapidez. Debemos hacer de este nuestro local, y sin duda lo recomiendo, es un pub encantador.

Friendly ,good prices,screaming kids bit loud only downside

Enjoyed my visit. Some nice local beers on tap and friendly bar staff and locals. A solid local and the Saltaire Blond was refreshing and tasty. There's a car park as well.

Llamamos a la posada después de un largo paseo, el sábado 5 de frío de noviembre. El pub estaba vacía a las 2 de la tarde. Nos preguntó qué bebidas calientes que sirvieron y me dijeron que no sirven. Me pregunto por qué país están cerrando bares cada semana. . . .

Nice local pub. Serve some nice beers. There is seating outside.

Mi pareja y yo llamé en impulso después de un paseo por Shipley Glen, y nos alegramos de haberlo hecho. De no haber estado en el pub durante más de 20 años nos sorprendió gratamente cómo ha cambiado. El pub estaba bien decorado, limpio y bien dirigido. Nos sirvió una señora amable y decidí sentarme afuera ya que era una soleada tarde de domingo. El pub está situado en una calle tranquila en el campo con vistas a la explotación, con un número de mesas al frente del edificio. Mi compañero hablaba de la excelente calidad de su pinta de Timothy Taylors encargado. Inicialmente habíamos previsto tener sólo una copa, pero eligió tener un segundo debido a los agradables alrededores. Sin duda, volveremos cuando en uno de nuestros paseos de fin de semana.

Called in here after a lovely walk only to be met by small kids charging around and yelling , and even sitting on the bar, they had the whole of the right hand side of the pub to themselves as everyone that came in took one look and retreated to the other side . The usual useless parents who could not care less and are too busy propping up the bar ! It shows a lack of intelligence that on a beautiful Spring day that is all they can think of doing for the afternoon !

Love this place. The food is varied but true to its roots being good, home cooked fayre and reasonably priced. The beers are excellent and well looked after. Will return

First time I have eaten here although sample the beer regularly. The hot beef sandwich was succulent with a lovely salad and garnish. Chunky chips, well seasoned and red hot were a nice addition also. The real ale is some of the best in the area and the pub is getting busier and busier - keep up the good work!

Been to the Acorn a number of times and over the past 12 months it has changed for the better. Some great real ales including Saltaire Blond, Black Sheep and one or 2 guest beers as well as a range of draught and bottled lagers. The staff are attentive, welcoming and also happy & smiley, just what the village needs. Well done all!

We decided to try the Acorn on a Friday evening for a bite to eat and a few pints. We arrived about 19:30 and the bar area was busy. We ordered drinks, the staff were attentive and friendly. Two of us were eating and we went for the steak pie and the gammon and chips. The meals arrived hot and again the staff were very efficient. The steak pie was excellent and my friend said his gammon was too. Two of my friends like their real Ale and both enjoyed the selection on offer. The pub started to get busy and this created a great atmosphere. All in all we had a very pleasant evening and will no doubt return.

We decided to book a table for lunch today at the acorn inn and invited a couple of friends to join us. To say we were disappointed with the meal would be an understatement. One of our party ordered fish and chips. The batter on the fish was very thick and undercooked. One ordered scampi. Also undercooked. So called chips were inedible. My baked haddock was very dry. We told the landlord how disappointed we were and explained why. He agreed with us and straight away deducted two meals from the bill.

I went to The Acorn at Eldwick recently for Sunday lunch. I enjoyed a roast beef dinner- good portion , all hot, lovely roast potatoes! The fish and chips were very excellent Nice atmosphere, pleasant and friendly staff. A great little pub that I would recommend. Lots of choice on the menu , good for families or couples

We used to regularly go to this pub for a delicious meal- always felt totally full afterwards and serving good beers and wines. We then returned after an absence to find that it was under new management. The meal we had was not sufficient in portion to our previous experiences however we ventured again just recently to choose a different menu- the cow pie(desperate Dan pie we called it) was much more in line with size- and very tasty- it does say that you don't require spuds/chips with this but a few wouldn't go amiss as there was a lot of gravy in the pie and a small jug as extra- it's nice to soak all this up with something. The crust was really quite delicious. The sizzlers salmon was substantial but I found I could have eaten more. They have various offers on eg home made burger for just £6.00 which is really very good- we'll have to try that one next time maybe, we tried a similar steak offer previously which included wine but were a bit disappointed with the portion and wouldn't have that again. Menu is fairly wide with selections, pudding sizes are rather small for £4.50 but there again it isn't overpriced for what you get- and yes I would recommend you going.
