Dick Hudson's in Bradford

Fabulous service from the girls on Saturday night, very busy for a January! Weekend menu was great value for money! Thank you for a lovely evening

Great food and great service - love this place

I revisited today after a previous visit on Monday 20th January . I chose to dine in rather than just have just a drink. The staff were friendly and helpful my drink (passion fruit cooler) was experly made by the bar lady and tasted amazing. On to the meal, the garlic mushroom starter was delicious, i thoroughly enjoyed every bite. Then came the main course, the rib eye steak with gravy, grilled tomatoes, chips and onion ring. Each bite was delightful, perfectly season and cooked to perfection. Finally there was the double chocolate brownie, topped with ice cream and chocolate sauce. It was like a miniature work of art, decadently delicious with every bite. Its safe to say that my visit was a resounding success and i'd rate the food and drink as a 10 out of 10. I will definitely visit again in the future.

Jess was AMAZING! We booked a meal for 3 adults and children. Jess interacted so well with the children and ensured that our stay was great. The food was delicious-can highly recommend the lamb henry

Food and service both excellent, great service by Sarah and the rest of the staff as usual.

Lovely lunch with friend near the log fire on a very cold day. Great service from the ever friendly, knowledgeable and patient Nicola who was the star of our visit. She is a credit to Dick Hudsons.

NOT good👎. Unbelievably the food was cold and I mean cold. Gravy boat cold Guests food cold. Sent back and it still was cold. Really not happy! Basics food must be hot. Carrots cold to the touch along with all of the food on the plate‼️. Even the plate was cold. How the hell can this happen??

Ordered Trio Sunday lunch which came straight after my starter. Unfortunately all of the food was cold. Which it felt like the food was out on a cold plate for some time. Not very good at all, as £19 for this main course is expensive. Re-warmed in microwave which didn't make much difference. Wouldn't recommend.

One of the meals fishcakes new potatoes and broccoli was very small so they were still hungry after. The chicken pie meals great

The perfect setting and atmosphere for a Sunday lunch in the winter with a log fire too.

My favourite since 1996 - still as good as ever :)

Great little pub after a wet walk! I really enjoyed the mulled wine

Arrived to a quiet restaurant only to be ignored by 2 staff whilst waiting to be seated. After getting menus we were eventually asked for our drinks order but told the kids couldn't have mocktails as the pub chain have a policy of not encouraging underage drinking (or some such nonsense). It was just mixed fruit juices and lemonade so we all thought that was ridiculous and my 11 yr olds were gutted. They love the fruit decorations on mocktails and have no interest in alcohol. My parental responsibility clearly got no say in the matter. Anyway my daughter then ordered an appletiser instead and it came in a crystal whisky glass of all things! Then when ordering food we were told there was no fish and chips left and no rib eye steak (and later only certain puddings available). 3 out of 6 of our party had to change their orders. Surely over the Christmas period when most people have already booked tables in advance a pub should have plenty of food. I'd booked 2 weeks previously as a treat for my parents so I was disappointed they couldn't order what they wanted. The food was hit and miss but the service was noticeably slow especially as there was hardly anyone there before 8pm. We spent 2.5hrs at table and our kids were falling asleep at the end and my parents had their coats on before we paid as we'd not intended to be so long and the waiting for things had definitely started to grate. The waitress was pleasant in a patronising way but not amenable and didn't listen to us. We complained about the prawn cocktail starters being too spicy and hot and she made a comment about her Grandmother's food and asked if we wanted another drink. Not exactly addressing our complaint! There was way too much hot paprika/chilli powder- two of us had numb mouths. Maybe if the restaurant staff hadn't been so indifferent to us I wouldn't be writing this bad review but the whole experience was disappointing and I doubt we'll return. I don't care how busy you were earlier in the day we expected a decent standard of service not to have to make do. Definitely a downer on our Christmas festivities!

Excellent Friendly Service, with Tentative Staff, and Delicious Sunday Roast. There are also Dining and Dog Friendly areas which are separate to suit everyone.. This is one of the Best Sunday Roast Dinners that I've had in a long time, and will definitely visit again. If you like Good Food and Good friendly service, look no further than the Dick Hudson Restaurant. Well Worth a Visit.

Christmas Day 2024 - amazing food, atmosphere and to top it all the service from Liv & Nicola was absolutely first class. Thanks both you made it 👍👍👍.

3 wonderful courses I ordered ribeye steak and to my surprise it was amazing…..at last a chef that can cook a steak. By the way starters and puds were perfect

Had a lovely afternoon Boxing Day meal with family food was delicious as always service 10 out of 10 lovely Sammy was excellent and was there to provide what ever we needed thanks to you all bar staff waiters waitresses and chefs !!

Excellent pub highly recommend it

I regularly visit the restaurant at lunchtime and overall everything is good. Visited last night with my husband. We had booked a table but had to wait a while before any member of staff acknowledged us. We were shown to our table which was up the steps towards the back of the restaurant. The room was cold. We were served by a pleasant girl who took our drinks order. We didn’t wait long for our drinks. I ordered the sea bass which I have had several times before. Although the menu states the sea bass is in a white wine and king prawn sauce there were no prawns in my sauce. The meal was only lukewarm warm. My husband ordered the pie and his vegetables were cold. As we were disappointed and cold we decided not to order a sweet. At no stage while we were eating were we asked if our meal was ok. I think we should have complained at the time but do not like to be seen to make a fuss when other people are in the restaurant. Very disappointed with our visit to the restaurant.

Very busy but food and service outstanding. Better than average chain food fare.

Went for Xmas lunch on 2/12/224 great food staff really friendly and food was really nice all 3 courses were lovely would advise you to try dick Hudsons when you can

I’ve been going to this place for the last 20 years and never had a bad meal until last night which was the 10th December 2024 there was 30% off main meals and it was my girlfriend’s birthday so was looking forward too ending the day on a high.I get the same main every time because it’s so lovely the hunters chicken schnitzel.i love it because it’s chicken with a light batter coating topped with bacon and barbecue sauce.but unfortunately not this time as the chicken was tasteless and was undercooked and greasy so I left nearly half of it.The waitress serving on was really nice and looked after us but when I brought it too her attention there was no apology and got told that it was the batter that was greasy not the chicken because the is precooked then cooked in batter i let my partner have some and she said it didn’t taste right and advised me not to eat anymore.i wasn’t looking for a free meal or a discount out of it but was bitterly disappointed that even with the 30% discount the bill was still £52 and would have gladly paid the full amount to be 100% satisfied with everything and if I go in again I’ll try somthing different hopefully this is a one off 👍

Food wasn’t as good as it has been perhaps because of the additional festive menu roasties rock hard and veg mushed Have been before and was impressed hence returning but on this visit alone wouldn’t go again

A top place to have a proper traditional pub meal

We were staying nearby and came for a snack. Had to book a table as it was a busy Sunday. Had a lovely soup there. It's very dog friendly and a nice atmosphere. It waa nice and warm especially as it was on one of the storm days

Really lovely pub . Staff were so good with our puppy . Who single handedly trashed the area we were sitting. They were so laid back , gave us paper towels to clean up a few accidents. We will be coming back.

Excellent food, really great service and a beautiful atmosphere. Really happy. Dani was great, handled such a big crowd really well!

Excellent service from rosie and ben! really enjoyed our taste of christmas evening! lovely atmosphere from the live singer

Had a lovely roast dinner today with the family. All of our potions were very generous leaving us all satisfyingly full. Everything was cooked perfectly especially the Lamb and was served lovely and hot. Jess our waitress was fabulous and topped off our 5* experience.

Good food, excellent value and great service from Jess.

Very friendly staff that couldn’t do enough for us throughout our visit!!! Food is amazing

Food just average could have been served warmer

Our first time back in many years, things have changed, extended and updated, smarter, nice and bright with roaring log fires. We were very comfortable and enjoyed our lunch very much. Fixed price 2 or 3 course menu available as well as 'A la carte' Price for 2 course was just under £17 and a good deal. I opted for Winter veg soup (very enjoyable) with a hint of spice, followed by the 8oz Gammon steak, chips and eggs. My wife had Calamari and Lasagne, which , she said was more enjoyable than one on a recent visit to an 'authentic' italian chain restaurant. A pint of Wainwright's for me and a Pinot Blush for my good lady. All very enjoyable. Best view from a toilet I've ever seen by the way! 🤭

The food is amazing and the staff are so friendly and kind. I stupidly forgot to bring a wheelchair for my friend one evening, and the lady staff member helped us walk from the car inside the pub. Im so grateful for her help. They go above and beyond! Thank you. And the food and service were brilliant as always.

Just stopped off for a drink on way home. Staff very friendly and place was cosy and warming.

The pub interior and exterior was very welcoming. The food was excellent. I had the sea bass and my Mum had the vegetable penang curry. I thought that the sea bass dish could have had a bit more potatoes and veg but otherwise it was very tasty. Jess provided outstanding service and was very friendly. When we wanted our puddings and coffees brought together Jess did this and even added a small flapjack with the coffee as my Mum likes. We enjoyed the meal very much and will be back.

April was our server and she was amazing! The staff were lovely and the food absolutely delicious.

Called late one evening after a day out with my daughter without a booking to try and get a table. The place was busy but we managed to be seated. Food was excellent and the service was great. Sarah, our waitress was very attentive and very sweet with my little girl. It's not the first time we have been and it won't be the last, it's always good

All of us enjoyed our visit to Dick Hudsons, the food, service, atmosphere and location were excellent. Will certainly be returning again soon.

Excellent in all areas - helped make an impromptu wedding celebration a more memorable occasion. Our Italian guests were suitably impressed. Atmosphere/personal friendly efficient professional service from Nicola and the girl behind the bar (sorry didn't get her name) food and drink- all Excellent. Thank you.

I visit Bingley to see family a couple times a year. Always visit this pub as previously it has been a fantastic experience. Unfortunately, this was not the case this time. Had the trio of roasts and 2 x chicken burgers, on a Sunday. Service was great, the food left a lot to be desired. The burgers were edible but overpriced. The roasts, well, the pork was a about the size of a match box, there was a small piece of crackle that had been cooked separately, the turkey was the best of the three, the beef, a single slice that appeared to have been boiled. The two reheated duck fat potatoes weren't too bad. The roast carrot and parsnip were charred black on the bottom. The boiled cabbage was less than appetizing. The best part was the gravy. For close to 20 quid, the roasts were well below par. A very expensive and unsatisfying meal overall.

Great food from a large menu served very quickly when we were there

Very tasty lasagne and the calamari starter was really good. Lovely service from Sarah and a great 2 courses for £16.95 deal. Will be back.

Had a lovely Sundays roast dinner. Big portion and cut really well.staff were friendly Sarah was our waitress she was very friendly and helpful

Excellent Sunday lunch. All three of us had a Sunday joint- 2 beef one turkey. The meat was so tender it just fell apart when you cut it. Lovely well cooked potatoes and veg. The waitress Jess was excellent throughout the meal. She was prompt and attentive throughout. Thank you so much for a lovely afternoon out. We went home feeling very full.

great service as always. Delicious food.

This place is good....especially Nicola who served us....😄

Lovely location, Sarah was efficient and friendly really great service

The food was cooked beautifully. The service was excellent.

Nice pub, food was ok, not amazing not bad, server was quite abrupt we felt, very short, not particularly welcoming, seemed quite short and impatient, almost like she was annoyed to be there.

Great food and service each and everytime we have been. Highly recommend 👍🏼

Beautiful place Friendly staff Food very good Coffee needs to be hot, not just warm.

I spent some quality time with my Brother. It was busy but the food was good not outstanding. The sweet was lovely better than the main. The waitress was a bit sharp but the manager was welcoming. The things which let this place down. The windows were filthy and the carpark was not fit for purpose. I had to park at the back in a gravel pit. No bays please invest in your infrastructure more. I am sure you are making enough money. It needs to be levelled off. Keep up the good work on the food but start looking at the bigger picture. Good 🤞.

Visited with my brother for the set menu lunch for around £16 so about £20 a head with a drink. Gammon was great with runny egg. Slight change I asked for due to my chrons disease. Sticky toffee pudding was good, not as sticky toffee as I would have liked. Everything was beautifully presented. The server was slightly off, not rude as such, but not as welcoming as the other staff. something was a miss, which slightly impaired our visit. Also, as a side note,windows were dirty on the outsid, too much on the rustic side,just attention to detail was a bit missing. I'm being fair in my review as the gammon was excellent and for the price point all in all food was good. Being a destination pub though thoose little things were just off the mark. We left a tip too as one person, the manager, I think, just welcomed us in and said goodbye on our departure. I took a Christmas menu as the atmosphere is lovely in there. I only live 15 minutes drive away and would like to invite family to eat there over that period. All in all good slight improvements and the full 5 stars would be given.

Roast dinner is a good plateful so you may not need a starter. The mini pudding and a hot drink is a good option at the end off a meal though if you don't feel able to tackle a whole pudding.

Great service from Sarah. Food good had a good time all staff great

Great lunch for Granddad's 80th. Lovely setting and fabulous staff. Sarah went above and beyond.

Had another great meal , staff are brilliant always very welcoming. Lovely cosy atmosphere

Another lovely meal , the staff are amazing , always such a warm friendly welcome

Again came to Dick Hudson’s fora mid-week lunch, food was excellent and we were well looked after by Sarah.

Nice food, good selection. A very enjoyable evening.

Great wee pub to stop at on a walk. Really good Sunday roast, good range of beers. Sarah was great and gave us all the gravy we could drink.

Had such a fabulous evening at Dick Hudsons, our server Nicola was fantastic! She was so friendly and couldn’t do enough for us! Melissa was also lovely and we will definitely be returning! Thank you ladies x

Amazing food , great service from the lovely Sarah

Staff were excellent and very helpful. Service good and food excellent.

The food was delicious. We were warmly greeted by staff and made to feel very welcome. The prices were very reasonable and the meal was great value for money.

We came here as a family on a beautiful sunny day and we were not disappointed! The view was absolutely amazing from this pub and the food and drinks were equally as nice! Great place to come for a family meal and a bonus if you get to sit outside for a drink on a sunny day. For starters we shared the scotch egg, halloumi fries and chorizo sausage bites, they were all delicious washed down with my cocktail sat in the beer garden. For mains we both ordered the pan roasted lamb which was absolutely delicious and being a big lamb lover, I would find it hard to return and not order this again!! Our son ordered chicken nuggets and chips, surprise surprise, which he enjoyed. For dessert I had the sticky toffee pudding which is ALWAYS a winner in my eyes! My son ordered the trio of ice cream which was quickly devoured and my partner had the double chocolate brownie which he also swiftly polished off. The staff were friendly and the cocktails were good. I also much preferred our visit here to the Cow and Calf pub in Ilkley which is also a Vintage Inns pub with a very similar menu ( see my other post for that review on that ). We will definitely be returning at some point.

Our main waitress Nicola (and one of her daughters, with long, blonde hair) looked after us superbly - Nicola is a real credit to you. She was attentive without being pushy; friendly yet professional, efficient and helpful. Her customer service is of a very high standard, which I and all my other 8 guests really appreciated. Add to that the fact that all our food was beautifully cooked and very tasty and you always have a good selection of drinks available (I always enjoy the bitters you have on) and it made for a wonderful meal for us all. Thank you!

Lovely evening being hosted by Rosie

Had a family Sunday lunch with my elderly mum and wheelchair, access was easy, the disabled toilet was big and clean, and the food was...fantastic !!!! Our servers were brilliant, especially Nicola who went that extra mile, well done Dick Hudsons !!! 100% excellence !!!

Had lovely lunch today with 2 other ladies.......my meal was tiptop. Steak sandwich+ chips,then delicious Eton mess !! Good value +very cheerful and polite waitress. We will be returning very soon ! THANKYOU.

Fabulous Sunday Roast and vegetarian burger . Finished with a small desert and an Irish coffee . Ambience is always very warm and friendly, with fabulous views over the Airedale valley . Perfect end to the day after completing the Yorkshireman Marathon

A lovely meal and a very nice place to eat. Served both food and drinks in good time. Very welcoming and kind staff, we were served by Nicola.

Came for Sunday with my sister who lives abroad and rarely gets a Sunday lunch.

Returned after a few months and was greatly surprised. The quality has really improved and we will certainly return sooner. Steak and Ale pie and gammon recommended. Staff were friendly and welcoming too.

A well eastblished pub and eatery. Good selection of real ales. It's slightly pricey. Food is good with large helpings. The added service charge is unwelcome. Great atmosphere and good staff. Need a car to get there but only 10 minutes from Bingley train station via taxi.

Called in by chance to enjoy my sons birthday and had a really enjoyable meal. The day was wonderfully enhanced by Nicola who saw to our every need with a lovely smile and welcome. We all thoroughly enjoyed everything that we ordered and felt as though there was no rush whatsoever. It's a great place to socialise and eat and we will definitely call again. Many thanks Nicola.

It’s a pub with a silly sounding name, but there’s nothing silly about this pub. It’s a hidden gem and a fantastic place if you’re looking for a nice drink or dinner/lunch - either solo or with friends and family. You’ll notice I give it 5stars for food, atmosphere & service - because all of those elements are spot on. But the ONLY reason I’ve given them 4 stars is because there’s no WiFi. I know it sounds harsh, but there’s no signal up there. AND it would be a lovely place to also do some work, if you live locally. But with no WiFi and poor signal that’s its only flaw. BTW: it’s also dog friendly. So if you love dogs, bring your furry friends. If you’re not into dogs, allergic or have a fear of dogs, make sure to ask to sit in the dining room & there’s another door you could enter/exit from to help.

Very nice food and always the best customer service. Reasonably priced too.

Excellent value for money lunch time menu, the experience was enhanced by the waitress Sarah who’s helpful first class service with a smile made our day.

Service was excellent, staff were friendly, helpful and very attentive. Food was delicious and served very quickly. Good portion sizes and the presentation of everything was stunning. And the value for money is excellent too. We’ll definitely be back!

Very helpful waiter..nothing to much trouble.

Sarah was lovely, very welcoming friendly and efficient

Visited with the family including our dog, who was made very welcome! The food and service was absolutely perfect, my teenage kids couldn't find a thing to complain about..which is saying something! Wish we lived more local and could visit more frequently.

Nice pub with good food and friendly service.

Really nice place and food! Nicola was a great server as well! Thanks again

Another lovely Sunday dinner here - lamb rump particularly good this time. The highlight was definitely the banoffee choux bun - really delicious. Great service from our server Nicola.

Had such a great meal and service last night. We arrived early to eat before the quiz. . Nicola our server was amazing and showed us to our table. She was cheerful and so helpful and quickly brought our meals. The lasagne was delicious and my husband had the steak and ale pie which he also enjoyed. Friends joined us for the quiz and Nicola continued to deliver all our drinks to the table for the rest of the night! The quiz mistress was also superb. Great quiz night thoroughly enjoyed by all. Thank you

Simple food with some quirkier stuff all cooked really well. Great selection of beers and really friendly staff. Quick service, mud range pricing, decent top to bottom.

Great food served by Rosie. She was very helpful and able to cater to any needs we had. Especially fantastic puddings.

Meal with friends on a Monday evening. Friendly welcome and a warm atmosphere despite it being a Monday evening. Food was rated good or excellent by us all. The service was friendly and efficient and a concern about a second pint of beer possibly not being what was ordered was handled very well. The waitress who served us was first class. We have visited this pub on a few occasions and have always rated it highly.

Quick and attentive reception and shown to table. Good selection (despite turkey not being available). Food very good, hot and well seasoned. Nice selection of drinks too.

Sunday lunch was lovely, decent amount of food and our waitress Nicola was amazing.

Great service , food and experience, thank you.

Lovely service from Nicola! Polite, lovely and couldn’t do enough for us! Would definitely recommend ❤️

We had a lovely family meal served by the amazing Sarah !!! Thank you for fab service and to the pub for the lovely meal :)

great service from april and amazing food

Didn't eat. Great pub, great setting, great atmosphere.

Friendly staff, nice range of beer. Comfortable surroundings. Sunday Lunch and desserts were lovely. Sitting outside on a sunny afternoon is fantastic, with the views over Baildon Moor and beyond.

Delicious pie and great pizza for tea tonight. Lovely to be looked after by the cheerful and very helpful April. Thank you.
