The Stansfield Arms in Bradford

A warn cosy establishment especially this time of year (Christmas) the other half and I are regulars for a drink and sometimes food

We had a family Christmas dinner today! The meal was delicious and the service second to none. We were seated upstairs, so thank you to the lovely waitress. Nothing was too much trouble! Highly recommend.

We had our Christmas lunch for our office colleagues here. We had a pre planned menu..The arrangements and the preparation was just awesome. The waitress assigned to us did a great job. Everyone liked this place and wanted to visit with their family again. People are very friendly and supportive. Food is top notch. Service was very well organised.

Came with three friends today. Two have allergies. We were given separate allergy menus with all different allergens clearly marked. Brooke who served us was an amazing server, double checked allergies, had good understanding of them and double checked with the kitchen when one of the group had a specific question. Seating was comfortable, atmosphere was lovely, temperature was just right. We all had a wonderful few hours. Thanks Brooke and the team at Stansfield Arms, we will return.

I was part of a group of 4, 2 with allergies. Our server was Brooke she double checked with the kitchen just to make sure. She was so nice and helpful. The food was good. We will be back!

Had lunch here when visiting the area. I wish we had a place like this near where we live. Very nice.

Just eaten at the Stansfield Arms this evening, unfortunately it was not a great experience the service while very polite was extremely slow, the first dish came out long before the last leaving the youngest child on the group waiting the longest. The quality of the fish in the tacos and the fish and chips was poor, very dry everything lacked seasoning. The roast dinner was also very disappointing for those who had it. Disappointing experience overall.

Food was lovely and great service

Really great food ,the best I have had in ages ,and really welcoming of the dog ,found us a table where we had plenty of room ,all of the staff were really lovely we will definitely be back

This was my first time visiting Stansfield Arms and I will 100% be going again. The food was amazing the atmosphere was really relaxed and enjoyable. There was a mix up with our food so we were waiting over an hour but the staff were extremely apologetic and offered a free round of drinks and didn’t charge us for the meal. I cannot fault the service other than the mix up but these things happen. I would recommend Standfield Arms to annoying looking for a nice meal in a friendly and relaxed environment.

Long time since my last visit but called in for a beer. Was served by a very professional and welcoming member of staff , nothing was too much trouble for Matt, who also recomended the hand pulled beer. Will call again for a meal, good menu selection, as am quite local. Other pubs should take note of their excellent customer service. Great pub inside and out.

I love the charm of this gastro pub. Staff is friendly and service is excellent.

Been regularly and very impressed with food and service. The muscles are amazing. However I brought 2 friends on 5th Nov for lunch one guest chose fish and chips. When it arrived I was horrified it looked so uninviting. The batter on fish was over cooked to the point of being burnt. The chips were over cooked and looked as if they had been left in warmer for a long time. I wanted to complain but my polite guest said no its OK but left most off it. I was embarrassed as I had sang praises of this hotel. The other 2 meals were OK. There was a big event going on, we thought a funeral but don't accept bookings if you cannot keep standards.

Always good in here. Staff are great. Food is always good 👍

As we arrived we were taken by the exterior of the building we parked up and proceded inside. The inside was amazing very high ceilings exposed (oak) timbers and various pictures on the walls. We made are way to the table to celebrate one of our grandchildrens birthday the menu was excellent and met everyone requirements. As a wheelchair user I found it extremely easy to access due to plenty of room between tablets. My only concern was the menu's I found them very difficult to read as the fonts used are very small we have had this issue with many restaurant's I hope it's not a trend.

Only came to enjoy a couple of drinks and relax on a Friday evening after work,but found nothing relaxing about the place . Positives first , lovely setting and beautiful large building with exposed beams and wood . Super size inside and plenty of space for group bookings , plenty of outdoor seating for summer . That’s where it ends unfortunately… Lots of staff behind bar on arrival, but couldn’t get near to order due to so many people sat at the bar on stools, although many seats/ tables available ? I was ignored by staff trying to order so in the end asked my husband to catch the staffs attention , which after a wait they did serve him. Loud , offensive language from a small group of 4 people propping bar up which was a shame , probably wouldn’t have noticed it if they had sat somewhere else. Lots of tables with used cutlery, crockery on , wet tables with spilt drinks, even though there was an army of staff milling around. Most ‘straight from school age ‘ on mobiles and chatting amongst themselves . Second round I sent my husband to bar again and service was quicker , after this we left and walked to the George and dragon, which had a better atmosphere and even ended up eating there . Had the stansfield came across better , we probably would have eaten there , Shame , because this place has the makings of being an absolute gem, but run in the wrong hands ruins it

Food amazing. Lovely surroundings.

Myself and my daughter popped in for lunch we both had the steak baguette with onions and fries and a pot of gravy it was absolutely delicious, the baguette was lovely and warm the steak was beautifully cooked no fat or gristle so tender and the fries were to die for along with the pot of gravy all pipeing hot will definitely go again 😋

We recently held my mothers wake at the Stansfield Arms. The team were professional, courteous and very helpful at all times. It was a busy afternoon and the whole team helped make the remembrance even more a celebration. The food was outstanding, particularly the shepherds pie. This was of personal significance as it was one of mums signature dishes and everyone, without exception commented on how delicious it was, asking if it had been made to mums recipe! Who knows, she may have shared it with the chef...! We would highly recommend the venue, for the ambiance, food, drink and rooms (space) available - the team made a huge difference to the day.

A fairly broad menu, pub favourites like burgers, as well as local ones like liver and shepherd's pie!

Chef must have been having an off day. Steak & ale pie very dry with a rock hard crust, chips looked grey! & I don’t mind my veg on the crisp side but mine & my friends were nearly raw & a struggle to cut with a knife. As it’s a 45 min journey across Bradford I won’t be returning any time soon

Good pub/restaurant. Varied menu although not cheap. Good range of ales and select wine list- moderately priced. Atmosphere good. Service good to start off with then tailed off towards the dessert and coffee end of the meal. Shame as this spoilt the evening.

Lovely place had a nice meal well worth the price

Fabulous pub, warm welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. We went for the Sunday roast and were not disappointed. The food was fantastic, the staff were pleasant and extremely accommodating. Pet friendly and suitable for all sizes of parties. 100% recommended and we will definitely be returning in the near future.

Wonderful! The Sunday Roast was an amazing deal and so tasty. We will be back!

Breakfast is the best we have ever eaten. If you look at the menu and think ow this is a £1 more than most, just wait till your plate arrives. It's substantial and delish xxx

Large portions of great quality food, attentive but not overbearing service from a lovely lady and a really nice ambience. They were happy for me to take my dog in and brought treats to the table too 😊

A lovely place, a fab outdoor seating area.friendly staff & the food was great . Loads of choice & it all looked delicious 😋 Definitely a returning customer

A Disappointing Experience Overall Rating: ★★☆☆☆ (2 stars) Family of four booked a table for 7 PM on a Sunday evening. We arrived at 6:50 PM and were promptly seated. However, our drinks didn't arrive until 7:30 PM, which was a significant delay. The restaurant was surprisingly quiet for a Sunday evening. While waiting for our drinks, we were shocked to witness a staff member, who appeared to be a manager due to her attire, put her feet up on the table and tie her shoe laces. This behavior was completely inappropriate and unprofessional.

We went for an evening meal. We chose the special for that day of the week. As it was Monday, the special was moules and frites, which we both ordered. The food arrived promptly and was of good quality and quantity. However, when myself and my husband tasted our food, the mussels, did not taste right at all. We alerted the waiting staff, who offered us a replacement straight away, they were most apologetic and we were told we could order anything else we wanted on the menu. Our replacement meals arrived quickly and were excellent. When it came to paying g the bill. We were only charged for the mussels, at a lower price. Absolute 5 star service. Well done to the Stansfield. We will definitely be back.

We have passed the Stansfield Arms many times & it always looks lovely so we decided to go for lunch. We sat outside as it was a sunnny day in the pretty seating area Service was excellent & we were served from our table. The food was lovely we had tacos & fries with chorizo to share. It was very good value & the portions were very generous. We will go back again as it was so good.

Hi I am sorry for this review but ordered children's small burger and chips , my grandson started eating his burger , luckily I saw the bones before he put it in his mouth. The burger had 5 pieces of solid bone . Told the waitress who said never had this before. So parents please be careful about ordering children's menu.

Beautiful staff,nice food and acceptable price!!I will definitely go again there!!!!

Gorgeous building, lovely staff and decent food plus drinks served correctly and at the right temperature. Really nice option for any day of the week.

Always a great experience. Food is always amazing and the staff brilliant!

Great Pub and staff was friendly and really helpful. The parkings not the best but overall very good place. The food is good but wasn’t to keen on the creme brulee I had for dessert.

We visit the Stansfield regularly and absolutely love it! The staff are absolutely lovely, make you feel very welcome and can’t do enough for you! The food has always been top tier every time we’ve visited and never have to wait too long. It was busy with the sun being out but the service was still great and we didn’t wait long for drinks or food. Huge shout out to all the lovely ladies that were working!

Myself and my family went for food,we ordered sausage mash potatoes and vegetables. The vegetables were that under cooked and hard they were not edible,the onions in the gravy(what bit of gravy we had) were really sweet,just didn't go nice with the meal at all. Overall the meal was really poor and we will not return again.

Very tasty food in a lovely historic building. Mussels and sirloin and sticky toffee are very good. Waiters always smiley and friendly.

Called in for lunch. The restaurant was very busy and the food looked good. My wife ordered the steak and ale pie whilst I had tiger prawns and calamari in tempura batter. We both had a glass of wine. The food eventually turned up after over half an hour. It was delicious and with the wait. Probably slow due to the number of many other diners . The food was well prepared and hot👍

I’m currently at the Stansfield and have been for just about an hour. This is my 3rd time here and while the ambience is beautiful, the staff as friendly, the wait time and food quality aren’t the best. It took them over 10 min to get me a glass of Chardonnay, so I switched it to a G&T. I ordered scallops as an app and it came out 30 min or so and I’m still waiting on my buddah bowl. In the past I tried their seafood risotto (which was bland) and their chicken/chorizo pie (way too cheesy! Do not recommend). Luckily my partner ordered the steak and ale pie, and the time before that - the Shepards pie. Should you visit, take in the aesthetic and stick to the dishes that are a bit heartier. I think I’d give them four stars if I had gotten my lunch already. Admittedly a bit hangy- so maybe know that there will probably be a wait. The staff is friendly and I did enjoy chatting with them when they stopped by to pet the dog. I just wish a the buddah bowl didn’t take over an hour to make/have.

We don't come here nearly often enough. Cosy in the Winter and lovely to sit outside in the Summer. Staff are always polite and prices are average-good. Food looks tremendous and caters for dogs in areas. See you soon.

Had a lovely leisurely lunch with friends. The Stansfield is a lovely, traditional place, with a cosy feel. The staff, as always, were lovely and attentive. We all had fish butties, which were huge! And each came with chips and mushy peas. At under a tenner per person. Perfect 👌

My first visit here and I would definitely go back. The staff were very friendly, efficient and helpful. The food was delicious. I highly recommend a visit here

Really good food in a really nice atmosphere. Been twice now and couldn't fault it either time. The steak sandwich was excellent.

Came with ma in law and she enjoyed it too. Nice place.

Early bird meal this evening for a change. Excellent choices on that specific menu. Really lovely food. Risotto was a little over but they changed it no problem. Very good service even though they were really busy. Looked after us both beautifully as always. Fantastic venue, lovely staff.

Excellent food great atmosphere Also value for money Love this traditional pub had the garlic prawns and the Sunday roast It’s a must try

Fabulous find lovely country style local! The food was on point and the staff were extremely attentive! I’m a somewhat fussy eater and tend to chop and change ingredients but this wasn’t a problem, which is always pleasing to experience. Will definitely be going back soon I hope!

We’ve been a fair few times over the years and noticed the turnover in staff is really hit and miss. It used to be great and on point Everytime but noticed it decline with its service levels. We sat down and noticed there was a very loud group of people on the mezzanine and two of the men were very loud arguing offering each other to go outside for fights throughout the course of our time there. You could tell they were hammered but they were continued to be served more alcohol at the bar. We weren’t told what the soup of the day / roast or pie of the day were so asked when the waitress came to take our order but should really be the first thing you’re told when you’re sat down which I think we were sat down by the manager….. the starters chorizo and soup were barely warm and we sent the soup back. The mains pie / roasts were lovely foods but the whole experience was ruined by the people upstairs and no one ever said anything to them to calm it down . Wouldn’t be rushing back here

Great historic building dating to 1543. Menu caters for many tastes and food is very good. 2nd time here - would re-visit any time. Highly recommended.

We went as a group of old friends and had dinner. They have options to suit everyone's taste. Hosts were very courteous and polite. Portion of food is quite generous. The portion of chips they serve with mains is fresh and delicious. The only catch is that you need to book a table in advance.

We enjoyed our meals, Scampi and Belly Pork Burger. With Brownie and Rhubarb Crumble

Popular pub restaurant with a huge amount of character and good food. Free on-site parking and close to the railway station (which has good links to Leeds). The staff were friendly and helpful. We booked a table for 16 people in advance and it was ready when we arrived. At the end of the meal we all paid separately which the staff were happy to accommodate without any fuss. This was my second visit and I would definitely go back again.

I don't really leave reviews, I recommend the Stanfield Arms to everyone. Fantastic

Lovely cosy pub restaurant. Good service but disappointed with my meal.I ordered beef stroganoff which I had to have reheated as it was only just warm had been standing a while. Fillet beef was tough should of been tender with being fillet. Far too many mushrooms and sauce bland no flavour to it.I was with 3 friends one didn't enjoy her meal and 2 others who chose curry said it was just OK.

I've never been to the Stansfield Arms before. But straight off the bat, I have to say the staff were great, attentive, and smiling and never in a rush. My Starter was Muscles in a white source, but I like my muscles just plain steamed, which the chef very obligingly did for me. My main course was Steak&Ale Pie, with a choice of green vegetables, beautifully cooked parsnips, served with deep golden brown chips, along with a rich beef gravy. I'd say the chips were the best I've ever eaten. Coming back to the pie, contained in crusty pastry, the steak was tender, no suspicious chewy bits either. The pie was superb. Our experience at the Stansfield Arms was excellent, service and food excellent. We'll certainly be coming here again. Highly recommended.

Always been a fan of this place - last visit I was a bit disappointed but they gave us a voucher and we booked a table today at 4pm - the food is amazing just like always and the sfaff are fantastic and very helpful - this is the place too come for great food - the best in the area!

Wonderful staff great food great atmosphere

Came for a meal with my mum and sisters. 12/4/24 We all had the pie of the day, choice of steak and ale or chicken, leak and ham. Absolutely delicious and very generous portions. Our waitress, Morgan, was extremely friendly, helpful and nothing was too much trouble for her. Compliments to her and the chef. Will definitely come for another meal here. Would give 10 stars if I could ⭐️

This was the first time that I have been here for food and must say that I was very impressed. Service was a little slow waiting to order but to be fair, they were extremely busy. Once we had ordered the food was quick and very fresh. Would recommend. Staff were very friendly and did apologise for the wait.

Excellent, we went to check it out for a family funeral and its a lovely place. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area and wanting good food at reasonable prices 👍

Turned up on spec for lunch on a Monday, and were immediately shown to a table where we chose from the excellent early bird menu (two courses for £17.95, 12-7pm, Monday to Thursday - great value!). I can recommend the chirizo sausages followed by the beef hash, whilst my friend was defeated by the impressive looking steak and ale pie, having been softened up by a very tasty broccoli soup. All this, and Landlord on tap, too! The staff were excellent, especially Rachel (impressive as always) who made my meal by noticing that I needed just that little bit more gravy! We'll be back again soon!

The Stansfield put on a wonderful spread for my late mother‘s wake last month. There are various buffet options to choose from depending on the price per head you wish to go with. There’s lots of delicious options like mini roast beef Yorkshire puddings, chicken and/or mushroom vol au vents, individual pork or other meat filled pies, potato and pasta salads and not just sandwiches. I was able to swap out items to suit our needs. For instance I swapped out one of the savoury options for a sweet choice which the pub are more than happy to do for you. For the price paid our buffet was excellent value for money. The food really was of high quality, very generous in quantity and so many of our party commented on how delicious it all tasted. Any leftovers can be stored in their fridge until you’re ready to leave and taken home in takeaway containers. We were allocated the raised seating area at the far end of the pub which gave us plenty of space to chat and mingle between our party. The pub has a warm atmosphere and was the perfect place to celebrate my mother’s life. There’s plenty of parking available and it’s well located in between Leeds and Bradford. It was the top choice for us as we already knew first hand that the Stansfield had an excellent reputation and my parents loved their regular visits to the pub for many years. I can’t recommend The Stansfield highly enough as their hospitality is of the highest standard. They went above and beyond to ensure all our catering needs were more than fully met and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you so much Matthew, Nick, Paul and all the staff who did our family and friends proud on the day xx

Always a top notch experience, one of the best pubs in Leeds!

Lovely lunch for two Food nice, not too long to wait. Would return again.

We had a family meal on Sunday which consisted of 9 people, one a toddler. The table was in the right part of the pub to allow the little one to have some room. Service was excellent although we had to wait quite a while for our food to arrive. Two people had the Sunday roast and said it was excellent. My turbot was well cooked and the smashed potatoes really tasty. Nice atmosphere and nice surroundings, will be back sometime.

The stansfield catered for my mums funeral and did a marvellous job in doing so . The food was delicious and lots of it . The service was excellent and attention to detail was very appreciated. Would definitely recommend.

Stopped on the way back from the airport because it was quite late. Good food and a nice atmosphere, thought the price was decent too.

A very friendly pub serving nice food

Amazing relaxed atmosphere didn't have food but looked outstanding beautiful decor inside

Always a pleasure to visit this stunning pub . Food was exceptional and all staff were very friendly and polite

Just had lunch today with my husband and dog. From the moment we arrived all the staff were so friendly and accommodating finding us chairs in the bar, an earlier table, ample space for the dog and another beer when my husband decided to wear his first one. The food was outstanding. Sadly most restaurants seem to have reduced portions and increased prices but not here, the portions were huge and so flavoursome. We both opted for the taco selection of falafel, chargrilled chicken and halloumi and it was absolutely wonderful. Saved a little room for the gorgeous sticky toffee pudding with ice cream which was beautifully moist. Definitely be back. Thank you to everyone who made our lunch so enjoyable.

First visit but will return great staff and lovely food

Went with 7 friends for my birthday. We all picked the 2 course Sunday lunch menu for £19.95 roast dinner and desert. Four of us chose Roast beef, when it came it was rare (not a problem) and looked nice 2 big pieces but we were all unable to cut it (with steak knife) never mind trying to eat it as it was tuff as old boots. After complaining we were told we would not have to pay for our deserts which we accepted. Upon receiving the bill they had taken £8 pound off altogether! So basically we paid £18 for a plate of potato’s n veg 2 hard roast potatoes, a Yorkshire pudding 1 carrot, and 1 mange tout!

It must just be unlucky me, because every time we visit this spot, something is below par. This time, my partner ordered the taco selection. On arrival, it was clap cold. It was replaced, but myself and our other 2 friends had pretty much finished by the time the now hot replacement arrived. It was not overly busy, so that was very poor quality control at the pass

This restaurant is a Real Gem. It has a long standing record of good food and excellent service. The menu is extensive and they also have an ‘Early Birds’ menu. There is something for everyone, thanks to the excellent Chef Stuart. The staff are excellent and add a nice atmosphere to the place. It is a lovely building and the inside is warm & cosy. Car parking is also excellent. Give it a try as you will not be disappointed. Stuart the chef of 20 years often chats to diners to make sure they are enjoying their food.

We did not book but was made most welcome when we called in. We were shown to a table straight away and our drinks order took only a few minutes to arrive. The menu had a great choice, something for everybody. Within 15 minutes our meals were served and we both enjoyed what we had. The service was excellent, the waitress Rachel was so pleasant and efficient. We asked for information to book our Golden Wedding Anniversary family party and Rachel could not have been more helpful. We have found a lovely dog friendly pub

The food the staff the atmosphere were all superb. The rhubarb crumble was amazing. We will certainly be back soon for more.

The venue was great, the food was good and the waiting staff were great. The only thing that marrred the occasion was the fact that the restaurant had raised its usual prices by nearly 50% because it was Mothers Day. Surely the venue must have known that they would be jam packed anyway, and they would do very good trade, so why rip off the customers to boot.

My experience at the Stansfield with my daughter for a ploughman's lunch which we had been looking forward to all weekend was not what we expected. The ploughman's came with most of the items but not the most important items on the menu. No pork pies , no piccadilly and no beetroot. So called the waitress over and explained about these items missing, lovely lady said sorry and went to get the items . Then the small pork pies came that look like they had got them Aldi, they didn't have Piccadilly or beetroot. The ploughman's plater isn't worth the money. Sorry Stansfield but Yorkshire is well known for ploughman's with homemade pork pies 🥺

Lovely lil place to eat with gorgeous interior and exterior. All the staff are friendly and helpful. Perfect place to go for a birthday/family event

It was a trip down memory lane for us . We used to go there for special occasions when we first got married. We moved away but called a few times. For our 55th anniversary we chose wisley and we weren't disappointed we both really enjoyed our visit one word...Excellent thanks to all the staff 😀.

Had lovely meal, staff were lovely, it was busy as mothers day but the service was excellent, definitely recommend

We went for Brunch midweek, great friendly service from Rachel. Veggie breakfast was good, eggs ideally could be warmer yolk runnier but still tasty and excellent proper veggie sausages and good coffee. Staff were really friendly , great building and ambience This will be a great place for Sunday lunch and evenings

Lovely food....relaxed atmosphere.....very attentive staff. Definitley recommend.

Always amazing food here however went last night and it was “outstanding “ , amazing food and the service was the best ever . Food was so fresh and well cooked and Defintely deserved this review

Table booked and reserved for special occasion 5 weeks ago and pre selected menu selection submitted 10 days ago as requested. On arrival our table had not been reserved (or set) and our menu selection had not been recorded. "Manager" asked for our menu request and then advised that certain items were not now on the menu so we would have to reselect!! When food WAS served by miserable and ignorant staff the food was most unsatisfactory. After 20 years of visits here we shall NEVER return!!

This pub is one of our favourite places. Lovely ambience, great food and superb service. However, as they say, this pub has many different areas and the last time we visited i was not completely happy with the location of our table and asked to move. The Owner/Manager was really helpful and said moving tables was no problem at all. The Stansfield Arms takes the comfort of their customers seriously and nothing is too much trouble. W ell Done and Thank you!

Magic place, been a few years but always a pleasure to eat here keep it up well done.

I wouldn't normally go for food in a place with only 4.3 stars, and I cringe at the thought of pub food, but I was very pleasantly surprised. Really good food with very nice service, will go again when in the area!

Yet another fantastic meal at The Stansfield Arms. The special Valentines Day menu was excellent, great choices, excellent quality and lovely service. Compliments to Stuart, the Chef, Matt, Front of House and all the staff for making our evening so enjoyable. See you again soon.

Beautiful pub. Good location. Food was nice. Waitress was extremely attentive and polite. 2 courses each cost £20 which was great value.

Not a bad place but also not great… we booked a 5pm dinner table, was gobsmacked that they had run out of certain menu items.. so what was meant to be a Sunday roast turned into a mixture of Italian and fish and chips… Starters were good, drinks menu and selection was a good choice… but mains and desserts was a let down due to running out… Would visit again, but just for drinks, a lot better places

Nice place. Good food. And wood recommended it.

Really good food. I was sat in the side with no heating hence the 3 stars for atmosphere. It was a cold day. Round the other side glowing real fire burning away.
