The Greyhound

Tripadvisor rating: 4/5

Location: 23 Tong Lane, Bradford, BD4 0RR

The Greyhound is a popular place for Sunday lunch with customers leaving absolutely glowing reviews.

One local said: "Have eaten here before but never on a Sunday so on an extremely wet and windy Sunday, we decided to give it a try as it's very near to Tong Garden Centre where we'd visited.

"There is a limited Sunday lunch menu unlike the vast normal menu but there were a few alternatives if you didn't want a roast. We all did and ordered a beef, pork loin and a turkey.

"There was a choice of potatoes - mash, roast or boiled - with mixed veg, e.g. baby carrots, green beans, cauliflower and tenderstem broccoli.

"The meat was lovely, tasty and for me the stars of the show were the giant homemade Yorkshire puddings plus they gave us two gravy boats of delicious thick gravy, gorgeous! I love good gravy and am so happy when they give you plenty without you having to ask for it."

The menu also has vegetarian and gluten free options.
