The Stansfield Arms in Bradford

Early bird visit on a Monday with my wife . Great drinks great staff excellent food served really hot in good time too . We shared a starter had two mains and shared a dessert. It was more than enough for both of us . Overall it was a great experience and good value ♡♡

Food was nice and service was good but the alcohol is expensive, £6.20 for a pint of lager

Excelente ubicación. El personal era muy amable y servicial - educado y profesional. La comida era horrible. Quiero decir, fue como una prueba de arbustos de I'm a Celebrity. Paté estaba frío como piedra y servida en tostadas que estaban muy empapadas debido al escabeche. Cena de res - sorprendentemente malo. Frío. Las verduras eran duras como roca, prácticamente crudas. El golpe estaba frío y la salsa acuosa. Helado - estándar de la ciénaga.

Proper pub with really good food 👌🏻

Asistió para el almuerzo del domingo el Domingo de Pascua. Pub estaba muy ocupado, ya que era un día soleado encantador que creó un buen ambiente. Elegimos 2 platos por £ 30 , y nos informaron que no quedaba cordero para el plato principal. Los entrantes fueron buenos , sin embargo decepcionados por el plato principal . Todos tuvimos tradicional asado de domingo. La carne se cocinó satisfactoriamente, pero el nivel de la verdura era muy pobre. Las patatas asadas eran más como patatas fritas muy duras y la elección de las verduras que las acompañaban dejaba mucho margen de mejora. ¿Administrar guisantes con un asado de domingo? ¡No! Un poco de brócoli, una zanahoria y una chirivía y luego papas dobles con una cuchara pequeña de puré. La calidad de las verduras es importante con un asado de domingo, y al menos un plato gratinado por £ 30! El servicio fue excelente en todas partes, así que marcas completas allí, pero tristemente todo el estilo y poca sustancia con la comida ... vamos a tomar un queso de coliflor por favor!

A good family restropub. Great service, poor food - deep-fried heaven served with appallingy overcooked veg.

Fuimos en familia a comer. Todos tienen el desayuno completo. La comida era fantástica y lo recomendaría encarecidamente. Excelente personal Precio bien. Lo único negativo para mí era la decoración y las mesas y sillas, etc. necesitaba un refresco. Pinta las áreas faltantes y desgastadas que podrían ser útiles con una actualización. Puede que no moleste a la mayoría, pero me di cuenta. De lo contrario empujando 5 estrellas por todas partes. Muy recomendable 👌

Almorzamos allí el miércoles 9 / 3. Bastante ocupado pero no lleno, amable personal atento de bienvenida pero no intrusivo, bebidas pedidas mientras estudiamos el menú. Pedimos dos hamburguesas diferentes, la hamburguesa especial de la casa y yo tuvimos la hamburguesa de cerdo del vientre (primera durante mucho tiempo) muy sabrosa y sustancial! , por desgracia no tenía espacio para el crumble de ruibarbo😢

Beautiful pub with Excellent food, friendly staff, love going to the Stansfield. Dog friendly which is perfect

We had such a wonderful experience at The Stansfield Arms this evening. I called to book very last minute for a group of 11 — 7 adults and 4 children — and the gentleman on the phone couldn’t have been more welcoming or helpful. We were given a spacious area away from the bar, which meant the children could relax and enjoy themselves without feeling stifled — such a thoughtful touch for families. A particular highlight of the evening was our waiter, Cameron. My cousins are deaf, and yet he communicated with such warmth and ease that there was never a sense of any barrier. He was incredibly professional, friendly and accommodating — a real credit to The Stansfield Arms. The food was excellent too — hearty, generous portions and absolutely delicious. All in all, the whole experience was just delightful. Thank you for making our impromptu family evening so special.

A very popular Inn offering restaurant meals, drinks with indoor and outdoor seating. It's best to book if you want to dine as it's often very busy. It has real roadside appeal with lots of planters,pots etc with a beautiful array of plants. I've dined here numerous times and the food is good value and varied. All in all a great place to spend some downtime.

Just had a Sunday Roast here. The service is so poor, and it’s not the first time we’ve experienced this. Usually the food makes up for it, but not this time. You’re greeted at the door quickly, which is great, but then forgotten about when you’re at the table. This is despite there always being 4-5 members of the team seemingly doing nothing around the corner at the end of the bar. Don’t bother standing at the bar either as you’ll not be served for half an hour. Seriously, if you want a good roast dinner and good service in the local area, just go to the Thornhill up the road.

Es un lugar encantador, muy bonito y el personal es encantador. Pero... Mis amigos y yo estuvimos allí el viernes 4 de abril y estábamos muy decepcionados con la comida. Mi pollo cajún era duro y demasiado hecho, el cerdo del vientre era duro, el pastel de pastores era decepcionante al igual que el salmón. Sin embargo expresamos nuestras opiniones y el personal estaba muy preocupado y reparó. .estamos muy agradecidos y se redimieron por su excelente servicio. No te dejes posponer ya que creo que fuimos desafortunados.

Sausage and mash. Sausage OK instant mash why? Watery gravy. Service mediocre at best. Won't be back

Came for an impromptu breakfast with friends. 5 adults 2 children on Mother’s Day without booking, happy to cater for us and letting us sit in the bar. Have to say excellent service from the bald chap in the dark blue, very attentive and great with the kids.

Booked a table here as it was on our walking route down the canal. Never been before but great experience - would definitely go back! Really friendly staff, delicious pie, and such a nice interior and outdoor seating area

We was a party of 7 staff first class steak an ale pie the best I've had first class

Very good atmosphere had my mum and Dads 60th and everyone enjoyed it

Great spot! Really good food and staff excellent with children, my 17 year old, 11 year old and two year old daughters all made to feel welcome. Beautiful old building with cosy areas and a log fire. Ample outside space which is a suntrap in the summer. Give it a go, either in the warmer months or for that cosy pint in the winter, you won't be disappointed.

Popped in for an avocado breakfast but changed my mind when I saw the steak, egg and avacado option. It was delicious. The owner and management are lovely people.

Excellent food and very good service. Friendly staff and very accommodating

Had a great night at the Stansfield Arms to celebrate my 80th birthday. There was 16 of us and we all agreed, the food, service and atmosphere was great. Our waitress Amy was lovely and looked after all our needs x

Attended this beautiful old pub for a wake and although sad, it was a wonderful experience. The staff were friendly courteous and unobtrusive. Plenty of parking and could not have had a better send off.

Absolutely amazing food with attentive staff, would highly recommend!😁👍🏻

Just love this place. Great atmosphere, food and staff. Very much recommended 👌

Booked for a family group lunch. We hadn't been for years, but we were pleasantly surprised! It was busy and there were plenty of staff - mostly young, but they were efficient but could have been a little more attentive. Good choice on the menu, and the food was really tasty and good sized portions and well presented. We did have to wait a while for our meals and puddings but we were a group of 8 and it was busy ....so we gave them the benefit of the doubt. We all said we'd go back again and enjoyed it!

Enjoyed my pate starter but my sunday roast beef lunch looked lovely but the beef too pink for myself roast potatoes l couldn't cut but were eatable and meal wasn't hot enough for me

Fabulous place with great food and service. Very family & dog friendly.

Service good food lovely and hot good service and tasty food defo recommend coming here cause you will get your moneys worth

Lovely place. Friendly staff. Food is nice.

We’ve visited a few times now and the food has always been pretty good. The staff are very attentive and professional. Portion sizes are great for both the adult and the kids menus.

Got a sirloin steak cooked to my request really nice I recommend this pub for dining

Fantastic food. A lovely warm friendly pub.

Excellent place to eat and party.

NYE... amazing spectacular evening... excellent service by the lovely young waiters n waitresses and bar staff. Great food... excellent dj. Celebration at midnight... fab atmosphere... Thank you

New Years Eve meal / party - Excellent food / service / atmosphere Will certainly visit next new years eve (and throughout the year). Very reasonably priced

Delicious pub food and fantastic service. Called in without a reservation and they had us seated in 20 minutes. Will definitely be back. Thank you

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.

Met by grumpy rude middle aged man ( I won’t do him the honour of calling him a maitre d) who waived us on to our table The room was cold even though full of diners. My calamari starter was undercooked, with the consistency of an inner tube. To follow I had the turkey dinner which consisted of 3 slices of catering turkey. 2 overcooked tiny pigs in blankets which were approx 1.5 inches in length. Cold and raw sprouts and broccoli, a couple of roasties, mash and a Yorkshire. No parsnips carrots etc. Chocolate brownie for dessert was very nice. Service was quite good by the young staff members only spoilt my another grumpy middle aged bloke helping? with the serving, and dragging his teal towel across one of the family’s plate of food. (Spot the trend) We have been to the Stansfield many times but it is now not as good as it was and I agree with others that the Brownlee is far better. We will go elsewhere in future. I suffered from food poisoning the next day - hmmmm I wonder why…

Sadly vegetarians come 2nd as usual, 3 choices, the one I wanted not available and nothing healthy on the menu. My 2nd choice was falafel burger, that's all u got was a burger in a bun, no side salad, just chips. The main ingredient was a bland stodgy disc of falafal mix, inedible! When I told waiting staff they just said sorry about that! Can't recommend the place.

I came with colleagues 2 weeks ago...had the turkey sandwich is toasted...the criss cross lines were black with it being burnt ...a professional chef would not have sent this out in that state...

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

Lovely meal, food exceptional however… at no point were we asked if any of our party had any allergies. Luckily when my dessert came my daughter was quick enough to remove the raspberry from my plate. I unfortunately suffer from anaphylaxis so had I eaten it I would have been in a very serious situation. This is just a polite suggestion that this question needs to be asked.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Food good. Shame about parking, all taken up almost by marquees. All about money I think, car parking very cramped, main issue parking area extremely. Dark and dangerously open to cimenals . Forget the tents. money urgently required on flood lights etc Won’t be calling again in dark, very open to criminals

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

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.

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

He estado muchas veces y en su mayoría me ha decepcionado. La decoración es muy atractiva y el lugar es cálido y acogedor, con un montón de espacio de aparcamiento. Sin embargo, el personal de espera necesita una mejor formación y siempre parece estar corto de ellos. La comida es buena en general, pero ha habido ocasiones en que las comidas de mis amigos o familiares han estado frías, mal cocinadas o algo que falta. Tratar de llamar la atención del personal no es fácil, ya que nunca parece haber suficiente de ellos. Más de una vez algo pedido ha sido olvidado, y esperarlo ha sido frustrante, solo para recibir una disculpa porque ha sido olvidado. Para cuando se corrigió el error la comida se ha enfriado y otros han terminado la suya, dejando a una persona comiendo sola cuando se sirven los postres. El pub / restaurante hermano en Horsforth, el Brownlee Arms, es mucho mejor, con un excelente servicio y comida. El Stansfield podría recibir algunos consejos de ellos en mi opinión, especialmente sobre la mejora de la formación del personal.

Servicio lento y la comida era muy promedio. Las verduras eran demasiado difíciles de comer y las papas fritas tenían un fuerte sabor aceitoso desagradable. Los muebles se ven cansados y este no es el lugar que era hace unos años. En general una visita decepcionante.

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 👍

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.
