The Corn Dolly beer garden in Bradford

Ah, The Corn Dolly – it's one of those pubs that just hits the spot if you're after a bit of old-school charm in Bradford. From what I've gathered, they've got an absolute belter of a drinks menu, with everything from smooth house ales and guest beers to a solid lineup of ciders and spirits, so whether you're in the mood for something strong and dark or a fruity option, you're sorted. The staff really stand out too; they're dead chatty and make the place feel like a second home, which is brilliant for unwinding after a long day. And let's not forget the beer garden – it's freshly done up with plenty of seating and even heaters for those breezy nights, making it a top spot for a sunny afternoon catch-up. On the flip side, it's not without its quirks; the decor's a tad dated, with carpets that've seen their fair share of spills and that unmistakable pub whiff that might put off anyone wanting something more polished. Food-wise, it's a bit hit-and-miss, only dishing out pub grub and wood-fired pizzas on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, so if you're peckish outside those times, you might be out of luck. All in all, though, it's a gem for anyone who loves a genuine, laid-back pub experience – just go in with the right expectations, and you'll have a cracking time.
