We held my Son’s 1st birthday party here at the Bradford Hotel. The platters are very decent and the food was good. The waitresses were so lovely. Although, multiple people had mentioned the bar staff were very rude. If you’re wanting to bring Soft Play also, don’t bother as apparently it’s not aloud even though the Soft Play hire had insurance Soft Play hire and I have never heard of a pub not allowing Soft Play 🤷🏽‍♀️

We came to the Bradford on the spur of the moment for a steak meal and some beers. We ordered our medium rare steak which was cooked perfect and tasted fantastic but the side vegetables were raw and tasteless, especially the potato bake which was just raw slices of potatoes with a watery "sauce". The mushroom gravy that I got with my meal was dried out, sticky and the texture was pasty with maybe 2 or 3 small pieces of what looked like tinned mushroom in it. On a side note - I am disabled with bad legs and the chairs they had for use were very uncomfortable but there were other kinds of chairs available. We spoke to staff about it pointing out the padded chairs. Staff said there was nothing they could do, we were told the other kinds of chairs were reserved so we weren't allowed to use one. My partner ended up getting permission to bring in a wire chair from outside, but it was not comfortable either... interestingly by the time we were leaving the "reserved" chairs were vacant and had been unused for the duration of our visit. 2x steak meals cost just under $70, so I guess the pricing was ok. IF we come here again I'll be ordering different sides and booking a booth.

Tonight was a spur of the moment decision to come out for dinner. Unbeknownst to me we had an extra two people joining us. When we entered the dinning area we were greeted by Donna. Donna lead us to our table and we sat down, a few minutes later Donna came back and said she had a better table for us and led us to it. Donna had asked the other people at the end of table if we can sit there before offering it to us. After we sat down I started to look for a menu and before I knew it Donna had started to give us all a menu. Donna was very attentive and a lovely person to us all. I applaud her for being very attentive and helping us to enjoy our night better. Thank you Donna you make dinning at the Bradford an enjoyable experience.

This was my first time here, and it was actually really good. Modern and fresh look. I had a tandoori rice dish that was absolutely delicious, one of the best meals I've had out all year. My friend got a parmi with a topper and asked for parmi sauce instead of the smoky BBQ and got both BBQ and tomato sauce, which was awful but a bit funny as well. I dropped a star down just because it is in the pricier range. A glance at the menu, and you'll see what I mean. In saying that, if all the meals are usually like the one I had, then the price is worth it because I will always be happy to pay top dollar for excellent food.

The special Veal Scalopini was brilliant. It drew a crown too with a few other patrons asking what it was. Think it deserves a more permanent spot on the menu

Stay away from this place if you have coeliac disease. Despite assurances to the contrary my wife was severely glutened after eating a steak with an allegedly GF sauce.

Pork belly, mash, broccolini and plum sauce. Best crackling ever, generous, delicious, decent size meal. Raffles for meat trays, giant kids play ground, nice ambience, friendly courteous staff and a courtesy bus.

Ordered garlic bread, salmon fettuccine and the grill over $60 for this meal and it was extremely disappointing. Salmon fettuccine was extremely dry and barely any salmon. Garlic bread was so crusty. The grill was so disappointing for its price we were not expecting whatever that was. Definitely won't be returning.

Netty. Was. Here. What the locals call ‘The Braddie’ is a hot spot for a feed any day/night of the week! But I’m here for the $14 midweek Lunch Special. Well $14.21 😏 I had the classic snitty and was truly satisfied! Very generous portion the food is nothing to turn your nose up about. My only grievance is the RIDICULOUS 1.5% surcharge for card payments in the bistro BUT I can buy a beer at the bar, pay on card & not incur a fee. Why? Just why? Loss of one point for the silly charges. Otherwise, This place is massive! With a front bar, back bar, bistro and dining area, gaming room plus tab area. There is 3 outdoor areas and epic playground for the kids. Did I mention the a private function room for special dining occasions and upstairs functions room for the bizzo meetings. Plus hotel rooms across the wayside for anyone wanting to make it a overnight pit stop!

I was very impressed with the atmosphere of this place, i went for a work lunch/meeting, and the staff were fantastic and friendly. The food was in my top 10 of best snittys ive had, very well done to the kitchen saff, and the wait staff were all over there jobs. Didnt have that "pub smell" of beer soaked carpet. Was busy at lunch, but with the $14 lunch special i can see why. Well done everyone👏 ✔️

Its what a pub should be. Great vibe, plenty of drinks on offer ie beer, spirits etc It has a very decent menu with plenty of options. I have eaten here for the last two nights and can not complain. They also have a kids playground which is above what any kid would want. It also has a gaming room big kiddies....slap slap and not to forget the big screens for sporting event.... plus ample parking.

I really can’t give a review of the food, it took so long we got our money back and left. We ordered a pizza and 2 chicken schnitzels, after 40 minutes the pizza was sat on the counter ready to go but 10 minutes later the chicken still wasn’t ready and the pizza was still sitting in the open waiting. I understand it was a busy day but when at least 3 people who were lined up behind us had already gotten their food and we were still waiting it just wasn’t good enough and not the first time this has happened. We certainly won’t be back, we’ll head up the road to the Rutherford Hotel, it’s always great there.

I found the food very bland. The cheesey garlic bread was just ok. The fish was tasteless, the salad was nothing special. Their prices were on the high side. Someone ordered pizza & even they had no aroma. There wasn't even any aroma coming from the bistro/ kitchen. Nice atmosphere, cold beer, bland food. Doubt I'll go back

Great place to eat, with a lovely atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious! They have an awesome lunchtime menu to choose from with an unbeatable price, $14!!! How reasonable is that!!! The workers are always walking around asking you if everything is to your liking, so that was a nice surprise. I would definitely recommend it, and I will be coming back, for sure. I had the Moroccan lamb shanks, and they were soooo delicious!!! My friends had salt and pepper squid, which looked just as appealing as mine. They told me it was beautiful and I could tell they enjoyed their meal as much as I did. Great place, great 😅 an awesome atmosphere. What more could you want 🙂

Entree garlic bacon bread was hot and good. Dessert sticky date was hot. Unfortunately the main meal the kids nuggets and chips were both stone cold. The steak chips and veggies : the steak was good and cooked perfect but the vegetables were hard and cold and the chips were cold. The garlic prawn pizza tasted good but unfortunately was just warm. The service was great and the atmosphere amazing. Just disappointed with main meals considering spent over $120 for 2 adults 2 kids

Cannot fault this venue, great food with a great atmosphere as soon as you walk through the doors, with a massive kids area outside so parents can relax while the kids tire themselves out. If you like big burgers then give their new triple bypass burg a go, it's got Three House Made Beef Patties, Triple Bacon, Triple Cheese, Onion, BBQ Sauce & Aioli served between Potato Scallops. 10/10 👌

Attended a family function there today beer was ok and I guess reasonable price for a pub these days @7.40 a schooner but once the finger food was presented the honey soy chicken wings were OFF you could taste it immediately I made a complaint to the the staff who were very obliging and passed on my thoughts to management and that’s as far as it went no follow up at all from them we won’t ever return to this place it’s disgusting
