The Dandy Lion, Bradford-On-Avon

Modest-looking Wadworth outlet. Modernised but in a fairly traditional manner with wood floor, varnished wood bar, third length tongue and groove wood painted blue and magnolia. As mentioned below, there’s a fold-back window at the front with views of…a busy main road. Unexplored upstairs area. 60s easy listening on the speakers. Three cask over four sticks, Waddies Henry's, 6X and an ostensibly decent but brew-fault Horizon (NBSS 2). All the other pubs round here were packed on a sunny BHM but just four other punters were in situ here – pub needs to sell itself a bit better. The minimum wage young female staff weren’t really helping the cause; whilst not actively disengaged, there certainly was a pervading air of nonchalance when they weren’t having to deal with orders. Feels like it needs a rethink – Bradford is hardly short on pub options and currently this place feels like it’s a solution in search of a problem. 5.5
