Asa Nicholson Sons - Bradford

Had a lovely light lunch today with my sister and parents, we were made to feel very welcome by Mark, who was very pleasent chatty and very efficient and we had fast speedy service, nothing was too much trouble for him, he's an asset to the shop. The food was delicious. We will be back thanks to Mark.

I took an elderly lady who has just been widowed last Saturday 23rd July. I notice on the door is said closed at 3. We went in at 2.43 to be told very abruptly we are closed. I said it says 3pm on the door and it is only 2.45. Answer again, we are closed. Shops close at 5 but don’t turn customers away 15 minutes before. Absolutely appalled by their manner. Won’t be going back.

Called in for a light Saturday late lunch and to buy bread and bakery items. Staff were warm and friendly and the service was prompt and efficient. The homemade soup of the day was particularly good. The place has recently been redecorated and was clean and tidy.

We called yesterday for an annual meeting with a friend and ordered a Christmas lunch.He ordered steak pie,which,we were told,was not available.Therefore he ordered corned beef slab with chips and peas.The Christmas dinners,looked more like,dogs dinners and were like warm.The Yorkshire pudding was hard and had a peculiar taste.The corned beef slab was also Luke warm with anaemic chips. We had been presented with a bill,before we had been served with any food and also asked by another member of staff,if we had enjoyed our food,we told her,we hadn't had any yet.This was treat by a friend and to say we were all very disappointed is an under statement.Our friend complained bitterly and was rewarded with the substitution of a meal and a coffee.We have visited Asa Nicholsons over many many years and always had a good experience.What a great shame that the new owners cannot follow in their footsteps.Sorry,but we will not be returning.

Visited in half term with husband and two sons, it wasn't anything special, usually farm shops are amazing. Oldest son got a chicken burger and he didn't enjoy it mine and husbands sandwiches were boring bog standard and onion relish was very sweet! Younger son got a brownie and hot chocolate, he did love the brownie but said he liked the hot chocolate at home better which is lidls own for £1! It cost £30 and enjoy wetherspoons more , it just seemed like a greasy spoon, such a shame. On a better note service was great and all staff were friendly. Don't like to be negative but hopefully some changes will be made for the better and it will do well.
