The Ginger Goose, Bradford

Big modern barn of a place in the bottom of an office block which on a weekday afternoon was full of old blokes grumbling into their pints. This could well have been because the back of 5 handpulls is sadly disused, despite signs promising real ales on the outside. The only bitter available was John Smiths Smooth, with sundry Eurofizz. For those so inclined it has many sports TVs and various entertainments including bingo and disco nights. Not one I shall be revisiting.

Similar to a generic JDW but without the beer choice. A massive barn with nothing in the way of features apart from loads of big screen TV's. 10 handpumps on the bar, but only 3 beers available. To be fair the Salamander Winter Chestnut Warmer was in good nick, but that's the only positive.

Large, if basic, city-centre boozer with plenty of cheap food and drink offers. Anonymous furniture and decor. Lots of sports TVs and loud radio commentary of Bradford City football game when I visited. Four of ten hand pumps, with a better than expected offering of Tetley's Cask, Salamander Sweet FA, Saltaire Blonde and Cottage Blueberry Bitter (£2.90).

Somehow in the Good Beer Guide 2014, this place is a poor modern offering. There is nothing architectual either outside or in, it has a wetherspoons-like interior with lots of sports screens around. The beer quality was poor on my visit, thogh there is a good choice. The only difference between this & other large city centre chain pubs is the staff here seemed to be very customer focussed.
