Westgate food preparation compromised by questionable hygiene regime, according to the FoodStandards Agency last time I checked, which was a year or two ago.

Jewel in the crown in Bradford is Sultan on Manningham Lane.

It's tasty. I try not to worry about salmonella potential. Got '3 - Generally Satisfactory' at the end of 2016. That'll do me.

Thanks for the heads up on the Sultan though. I'll check it out.

When over 90% of restaurants score 5 out of 5, a 3 places it in the bottom 10% for hygiene. I think it rated 2 out of 5 last time I checked, as did the Saxa Salt International with the extremely annoying waiter.

Just don't turn up there on a Monday because that's what I did last month and it's always shut on a Monday. I rate the food there 9.5 out of 10. I've never scored anywhere higher than 8 out of 10 before I discovered that place.

Bump. There is wild, misinformed speculation to be had in an environment free from potential legal consequences.

Chock full of beery goodness and a curry thrown in too.

Just a thought: given the amount of copy journalists have obtained from these boards over the last few weeks, it'd be a great gesture for some of them to come on down to the Fighting Cock and get a round in.

Is there just the one TFC? Next to big gym off Thornton Road?

So next Tuesday then.

Re: Curry Night open to all... : Wed Jan 18, 2017 8:33 pm  

Indeed. I'll see you next tuesday.

The last time that Bongser was in The Fighting Cock, he was with all his team mates. What the heck! Bradford University were only playing (the then) Newcastle Poly the next afty. The latter had not won a game all season - until then!

HT: BD 24-0 NE
FT: BD 24-26 NE

The Fighting Cock doesn't just see you legless on the evening of your visit but also ensures that your legs go walkabout at HT in a match the following day!

As BUCARLA matches were generally played on Wednesday pms, that must have been a Tuesday evening too. Bongser cannot make it there to reveal himself in the first person but, were he to do so, you could bet your season ticket that
I wouldn't be drinking bl00dy lager
