Quote Lefty="Lefty"I am coming to Bradford on Saturday on my holidays
. We're staying in the holiday inn express at the leisure exchange. I have not been through all the pages on the thread, as I would imagine the hotel wasn't built when it started.
We could do with a bit of scran before the game and was wondering if there were any good buffet style curry houses in the area of the hotel that would be serving at around half 3 / 4.
Any suggestions?
We are then having a night on the tiles in Bradford for the first time! Wish us luck!'"
There are a few ways to do this, I would say it depends on whether you want to finish up at the top of town at the New Beehive (an experience; a vintage gas-lit pub full of character and with some characters in it) which happens to be almost next to the Westgate, a tiny cheap and cheerful formica table curry house with basic food of epic and consistent standard - my personal favourite - can't go wrog with mixed starters and a chicken masala with tandoori rotis to die for.
Or, you could finish at the Fighting Cock, to the west of the centre, and walk up the hill to the excellent Punjab, a much more upmarket place, and featuring the wonderful Chapple Kebab.
I haven't been for a while so can't confirm if the Cock and Bottle is open at the moment but if it is, the interior is a true gem and worth a visit. Would suggest a taxi there. Then make your way downhill via North St to the excellent Corn Dolly. A few hundred yards down Bolton Rd is the Ring Of Bells if you need an extra or walk straight to the Shoulder of Mutton in the centre.
Then it's up Piccadilly and onto North Parade to the new and brilliant bier cafe, The Sparrow
Then make your way to the New Beehive. If going on to the Fighting Cock from there, it's probably worth a taxi as the taxi office is just next to the Westgate
