The George Hotel, Bradford

Pretty much unchanged since my visit in 2018. Seven hand pulls, four of those were on today and all from the Old Spot Brewery - OSB, Light But Dark, Spot O Bother and Spotlight. I was in at 12:15 or so and my beer was pulled through before being served. It was enjoyable and obviously in good nick. The pub has a wood burner (not in use today) and serves food.

We also visited here recently whilst holidaying nearby and will concur with the other reviewers that this is a fine largely Georgian pub. The front section on the market square is original and then it has been extended out back in recent years to expand the dining areas. Food is a major focus here and the primary reason why we visited and the three rooms at the back are all laid for dining in the high tourist season with the front bar area and the tables in front of the pub being used for drinking. Yes, it is still the Brewery Tap for the Old Spot Brewery on the nearby Manor Farm and for our visit six of their beers were on in the shape of OSB, Spot O’Bother, Light but Dark, Spotlight, Collie Wobbler and Tongue Tangler. Being blessed with a hot summer evening I went for the two blondes, Spotlight and Tongue Tangler and they were both good pints. And coupled with the fact that the food was top notch, I would certainly recommend searching this one out when holidaying in the area.

Visited last Thursday afternoon. This still appears to be the brewery tap for Old Spot and six of their hand pulls were offering Old Spot beers, with one further pump unclipped. The two I had were priced at £1.75 for a half - these were Collie Wobbler, a pleasant enough IPA, and Spot O Bother, a rather nice porter. OSB and Tongue Tangler were a couple of the others I noticed they had on. Nice to be able to try beer from a brewery I had not heard of before. The pub itself feels traditional but looked after and fairly contemporary in terms of décor but without losing its traditional feel. There were four separate rooms with the bar in the centre of the pub. At least one room was set up for dining. There are six picnic tables outside to the front of the pub, which made a very pleasant seating area in the sun. A nice pub in a nice setting. Would recommend!

This fine Georgian building is set in the heart of the village and is not to far to travel to "Bronteland.The pub closed in 2010 but in the last couple of years has had an excellent refurbishment while still retaining all the original features.The pub shelved the TV and one armed bandits and the room which housed the pool table is now a smart dining area.The pub seems to concentrates on the food side and has an extensive and varied menu (although slightly pricey)but did have 7 casks on albeit all from The Old Spot Microbrewery where the Landlord is the head brewer and i think part owner of the company. The pub won the 2011-2012 won the CAMRA pub of the season after only trading for 7 months. Certainly worth a visit.
