The Ling Bob in Bradford

Cracking local 👌 and the selection of drinks is 10/10

An excellent discovery. The staff are friendly and efficient and the Greek based menu is excellent (classic English options also available) The prawn saganaki was excellent

The staff are lovely, but the food was over salted and it was impossible to eat the chips.

Food bit overpriced. Fish lovely, chips ok, should be about £12 at the most burger bit too small. Lovely staff and very welcoming.

Family meal for a birthday. A few of our party chose the steak and ale pie and not one of them finished as the meat very over salty. Mentioned this to the staff and I assume the owner was very annoyed with our complaints. Definitely will not be visiting again.

One to avoid for the price at least, previously good but it seems corners are now being cut, not sure if it's quality of Chef or ingredients or both? Ordered the pie which was overly seasoned. The T bone steak (which was £30!) was a huge disappointment! Service was good. Overall disaster food wise.

We've been driving past this pub for some time and never called in, so after another sortie to collect logs for the winter we decided on a whim one lunchtime to give it a try. Glad we did. A well kept pint of TT's Boltmaker was a good start for me. Greek cuisine seems the forte here. I tried the lamb meatballs with skin-on fries which were excellent. Portion sizes were generous. It was quiet but the decor had obviously been improved recently and there was evidence the owners and staff were keen to impress as service and cleanliness was exemplary. We will return. Recommended.

Quiet Wednesday lunch but great starters for mid day meal! Service brilliant!

Had a g8t night food delicious 😋

Very good table service. Good selection of ales and largers. And a good variety of food on offer, not just greek. Always the same on returning, which in my mind is a 👍

Bumbling across the countryside we were starving and happened along to the Ling Bob, the owner and staff were amazing and so helpful. With some steering from the owner, my wife had the Fish Pie, (very good) and I had the Greek Beef stew (very good), the starters of fried feta balls and greek sausage were amazing. A very nice pint of Ossett's White Rat and a stellar wine went down well, with some quality pub comfort food. Again, the food (with a greek flair) and the drink were very good on their own, but the staff and owner were top notch! Great old pub with visitors and neighbors alike in attendance. We will be back!

Lovely food, amazing choice and fab hospitality. Thoroughly enjoyed after a 5 mile walk.

Good local pub decent selection of beers, good food

We stopped by chance on way back to hebden bridge what a find lovely friendly service fabulous moussaka and bougatsa could not fault it Excellent if we return to this area woujd visit again

Came Sunday evening with my family, warm welcome, lovely food

Extensive menu lots of choice well cooked and presented.

Great music, great beer, friendly staff would go back again and again. (Plus they had a really cool vintage after shave dispenser in the gents !)

The greek food was the best ever. Would highly recommend

Very nice and helpful staff, lovely food, nice beer

Great food and service serving traditional Greek Food

I live close by & have tried the Ling Bob a few times with family & friends for food & drinks. I have been made to feel unwelcome each time but kept giving them another chance. I feel this is because I am not a regular. I feel there is an obvious clique of locals that frequent the place & that management/staff are happy with this & are hostile to outsiders but you would surely think they would want to attract new custom? Anyway I will not be going in again & will certainly not recommend the place to anyone either.

Great place...choice of English or Greek food but predomiably Greek. Delicious meals....veey attentive staff....nothing is too much trouble. Will be going back. Highly recommended.

Nice cosy pub. All the staff are friendly. You feel welcomed when you walk in. Food is absolutely delicious

Yorkshire meets Greece. Splendid place. Child friendly. Good for vegetarian options.

Just had a splendid meal at the ling bob, I booked the table a few days ago for 16 people ! We got a very warm welcome, service was great, spoilt for choice with the menu, we all had a lovely time. Food was great and hot, we had a 3, 6, 7 and 9 year old with us, they all had different meals and ate the lot. Portion sizes really good, great value for money, we’ll certainly be back very soon . X x

Excellent restaurant. Visiting friends who live very local to here I have been a number of times now and the food has always been superb 10/10. The portion sizes are very big and the taste is second to none. Good bar as well and excellent service by Thanos.

Recommended to come here by friends and it didn’t disappoint! We fancied a change from a Sunday roast lunch (although they do that too) and opted for the Greek menu. I have family who run a Greek restaurant down south so we’ve got high expectations 🤣 but the Ling Bob food exceeded our expectations and then some! Absolutely fabulous. Our daughter is dairy free and they were more than happy to change some ingredients to suit her. Busy place with diners and people popping in for a drink which made for a good atmosphere. All in all a 5⭐️ experience and we will most certainly return.

Visited with relatives. We arrived early but the staff were great and sorted out seating to get us a table. The service and food were excellent with the 3 Greek dishes we had particularly good. Highly recommended

Brilliant pub hosted by the ever friendly Thanos. Great food, great drinks. Even a fantastic open mic night every 1st Sunday of the month.

Great little pub, popped in for a drink and was greeted with amazing and friendly service. We were given some solid gin advice and recommendations.

Lovely evening with friendly staff and great service. The food was really tasty and a great choice of food on the menu. Reasonable prices to suite all budgets. I had two starters rather than a big main meal and both were delicious. I will definitely come back. Ps. The lovely fire was so welcoming 🔥.

Very relaxing and great atmosphere. food was delicious, and the service was excellent. I would definitely re vist to try the creek menu 😋

Very welcoming. Exceptional food of a very high standard. Very cold outside but we were like toast inside by the wood burning stove. The owner was very helpfull & courteous. The staff were friendly & polite, nothing was too much. A super evening and tasty exquisite food. Thank you for an excellent evening for myself, my wife & my daughter.

We booked the Ling Bob for my retirement meal as some of us have been before. I have been previously with a big group (17) which has not caused any difficulties. The owner is always obliging. The numbers, unfortunately were less than we had booked for (14 to 9). This did not seem a problem for the owner. He was very attentive and interested to know where we worked. They put us in the room to one side with the log burner, which kept us very warm! The food was delicious and good choice for vegetarians. I had the Falafel burger and chips, which was delicious. Nothing was too much trouble. He did 2 starters for one of our group as a main and served them both when we got our mains. They also packed a desert for her as she had to leave early. Everyone said they enjoyed their food. One commented on the lovely Greek food. I will definitely be back.

Went up for lunch with my elderly father who has recently moved along with my mother to wilsden. The pub was very quiet but the lovely log fire was burning and the staff were welcoming . Dad had scampi ( hadn't had it for yrs) I chose 2 starters as I couldn't choose between them, calamari and tempura King prawns which were presented on a bed of samfire and sweet chilli sauce, the latter was absolutely delicious. Unusually the also did chenin blanc by the glass ( my favourite) hence we stayed longer than anticipated.

Very cosy pub with excellent Greek food. Delicious wine and good selection of ales

Excellent pub with lovely food, great ales and beers, and gins! We came here recently as a couple but we also love coming here as a family.

I love the Ling Bob. Friendly staff. Interesting and always good quality food. And dog friendly. 🐕

Good food and real ales so be calling again soon.

The proprietor was warm and inviting. He loved serving his food and was proud of the desserts he made! The place was neat and tidy plus the patrons were quite friendly. I would definitely go back.

Food was lovely, although they don't do rare steak (personal preference) the food was absolutely gorgeous. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Dogs allowed. 😁

Lovely family meal. The manager was very accommodating making room for our grandson in his pram. All staff were friendly and polite. The food was lovely and it will be a firm favourite of ours going forward.

A nice rest and drink after the walk, friendly staff.

Amazing food the moussaka was especially delicious

Had steak and ale pie, not great. Unevenly cooked pastry and dry meat towards the edge of the pie. Peas undercooked.

3rd time eating here from Greek menu. My daughter and I chose pork or chicken skewers. 3 on each plate with rice, and greek salad. Delicious and excellent value for money.

Great food and a lovely local pub feel.

Had a really nice lunch, lots to choose from, opted for several starters as a tapas type lunch. Tempura King prawns were amazing , went for lunch at 1pm and stayed till gone 7pm

Had spit roasted pork, pepper, onion , unfortunately don't believe for one minute anything on my plate had been spit roasted ever ! Came with soaky wilted 'Greek salad' and reasonable chips Girlfriend had seabass, 'Greek salad' and chips Her seabass was lovely, same problem with 'Greek salad ' Still struggling to find good quality food served in local pubs within a 5 mile radius of home !!! No matter what price

Emphasis is on Greek food, given a bit of a UK twist by adding chips. Portions generous and quite tasty. Had to request a second round of drinks as no staff really paying any notice. It wasn't busy. It's OK, lacks finesse. A bit more attention to detail and this could be a regular go-to place for casual eats.

Been twice recently to their quiz with the Happy Friends group. We won £20 vouchers first time and a bottle of wine the second time. A good atmosphere and a fun crowd.

Lovely food, very traditional. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

Second visit not disappointed first time had klevtiko lamb second moussaka, great food lovely people .First holiday was to Greece and fell in love with Greek food this took me back to holidays in Greece x

Had an absolutely gorgeous meal at the Ling Bob. The Greek food is so tasty and the pita bread is lovely, light and fluffy. Best trip out in a while. Land lady and land lord are lovely. All in all a great place to visit and I will definitely be returning soon 👍

Their scampi and chips were great, Poseidon burger also, service with a smile and nice atmosphere.

The last time that I visited the Ling Bob was to hear a folk band play something like half a century ago. Then it was a semi-rural local, fairly cheap and very cheerful. It's metamorphised into essentially a restaurant with friendly hosts. It's still possible to go for a drink, and there's a good selection on draught, but it really does not feel like a pub in the way that it used to. The restaurant is brilliant. We had homemade steak pie: totally delicious and a credit to the chef. We were lucky to get a table on Sunday at lunchtime. Although it was empty when we arrived (sometime between 12 and 1) most of the tables were reserved and it soon filled up, so reservations are advised. It's run by a couple, and the male half is of Greek origin, which is reflected in the menu offerings, but happily a good honest pie served with chips was also available. Highly recommended as somewhere to eat. We'll be back next time business takes us to Wilsden.

Fantastic dog friendly pub with amazing authentic Greek food (Greek family have had the pub 6 years and take great pride and care with the preparation of all dishes)

Fabulous Greek night tonight, service, food and music truly excellent, I even tried a bit of Greek dancing myself, loved it!

Had a lovely lunch with my wife here this week, friendly owner, the Greek options on the menu were a nice alternative to standard pub offerings. Now we have found it we will be back soon.

Very good service, The food and drinks were superb. My dog was allowed to lay by fire which he really enjoyed after a long walk.

Loved it! Really good quality food for a decent price.

Great greek menu and food, mixed with local beers too.

Good service. Excellent beer. Nice atmosphere.

Fantastic service , lovely environment , fantastic food delicious .can't fault anything , will go again and also recommend people try this place.

What a lovely find on a cold wet afternoon… so much choice and can honestly say it was delicious. Great for dogs too

Came for lunch yesterday with a friend. She had heard that there was Greek food on the menu. We were absolutely not disappointed. Falafel, Dolmades, Greek salad and Chicken skewers. We asked for those all to come at the same time which amused the lovely lady taking our order. What a feast! Everything was delicious and we will definitely be back, thank you so much

The food here was to die for! Absolutely amazing!

Great food & really friendly staff. We will be back again soon 😄

Great food and drink, friendly atmosphere.

Nice warm atmosphere unfortunately we didn't eat so I can't rate food. but if we are passing through Wilsdon again we just might give it a go

Great place, friendly staff and good food. Fish and chips was great. Good choice of food and drink. Will visit again.

Great beers fantastic staff excellent food. Not much more can be added, other than premises have had a full make over and look splendid.

Great setting and selection of world beers, nicely decorated... get yourselves in

Food was fabulous but not much atmosphere. A bit like a diner but would be good for a group.

Great choice of beer! Nice atmosphere! I’ll be back for some Greek food next time!

Lovely Greek food. Excellent service. Felt like we were on holiday in Greece. Top marks. Will come again.

Staff friendly overall but once I complained about Kleftiko it was swimming in thin sauce, was told that was how it was served there and they would get Thanos to come over. We have a lot of Greek heritage in the family and visit Greece frequently so was disappointed in the experience. Thanos didnt appear so we paid bill and left. Green beans waterlogged and roast potatoes black and unpalatable. My partners meal was OK though. It seems a mixed bag depending on what you order.

Food was good, beer was good, and staff were excellent!

Just had couple of beers with my sons. Host and bar staff really welcoming, however some of the locals made you feel less than welcome... certainly had that cliché village feeling about the place, which is odd as my son lives in Wilsden village. Obviously don't like new faces

Lovley food, brilliant service 👌

Lovely selection of food at a good price. Very friendly staff

Great food, a little noisy but not to be helped!

Great food & beer, service very friendly and efficient

It was my aniversery 36 years so thought i would treat my wife for a meal, i orderd drinks which the landlord must have forgot them as he only rememberd when he came back into the dining area, i had the steak n ale pie, it was good but had better, wife had kotopoulo lemonato, this was a small portion and the chicken was rather dry, we also ordered a portion of beer batterd onion rings, which they had forgot, they where brought out later after the reminder, but hey ho it was our aniversery so it wasnt going to spoil it 👍

The pie was chicken stue with a bit of pastery on top.the chips.Were overcooked oversaulted shop bought French fries. £13.00 FOR PIE AND CHIPS.£15.00 FOR Sunday dinner. NO Ido like Quontaty over quality this provides neither Toby Calverley next time

Excellent home made food, great service.

Lovely food and very friendly staff, the room we were in could have done with some atmosphere, but will be going back.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Mix of traditional pub grub and Greek food, all delicious.

We were very pleasantly surprised after dropping in when passing. The professionalism and friendliness of the owners was first class. I was surprised that the menu was Greek themed, although by no means in a bad way. English dishes are also available. It was difficult to choose from the exciting extensive menu. Vegetarians,vegans and gluten intolerant customers also are well catered for. Dog friendly too. Whether you want to eat, or just a drink the atmosphere is excellent. It was so good we are going back again with the extended family.

Enjoyed a wonderful meal here today. They specialize in Greek cuisine and the kleftiko was excellent . Efficient and friendly service completed the experience. Will definitely be returning.

Lovely food, highly recommend. Although the most recent time I’ve been food was burnt. Hopefully just a bad day because normally lush. Definitely don’t like children tho

Nice service and food, dog friendly and a lovely pint🍻👍

We love Greek food and you can get it here!! Great food!

I review food and food establishments. Read this for an honest review. Me and my other half came to ling Bob because the website looked good and the establishment it's self looked nice. To be honest it was absolutely amazing food. Actual autnetic Greek recipe's. The burger was very mouth watering, covered in cheese and beautiful relish. The chicken in the burger was covered in a lovely crispy spicey batter. The bun was a lovely brioche bun with the "x" sign cut on the top. The chips are not home made but with the price it doesn't really matter to be honest, they we're still nice and crisp. The side of onion rings was absolutely gorgeous with crispy home made batter. We got about 10 big onion rings for 2.50 I think the price was!!!. The Greek lamb kebab was very soft and tender as well as the pitta. The price was bang on for what we had. The lamb kebabs had a lovely Greek sauce and they we're seasoned good with mint!. The only thing I can put a downer on is, I wanted a Greek lamb kebab but I wanted grilled chicken pieces with it as I like to eat grilled chicken with Greek kebabs as that's what I get when I go to other similar places. But the owner just refused to do it for me for some reason. He did say he wouldn't know how to charge me for it but other places just stick another few quid on the bill. It was a more expensive dish than the burger as well so it didn't make sense that he didn't want to make more money by doing that? He was polite but needed to smile abit more lol... We will be back very soon for one of them lovely burgers.. The young lad working at the bar with glasses was very polite and we'll spoken. It's had a lovely refurbishment as well. PHOTOS HERE.....

Excellent food fantastic service

Beautiful day, lovely food, excellent atmosphere, perfect company!!

Beautiful food lovely service friendly staff lovely atmosphere

Wonderful pub,lovely decor, wood burner fire, nice and cosy. Called in with dogs a few times and made to feel very welcome.
