Closed in Feb 2022. Subsequently sold to a private individual. Updated Planning and Listed Building Consent applications (refs. 23/01582/FUL and 23/01583/LBC) submitted and validated in May 2023 to convert the ground floor into offices. The applications make no mention as to the proposals for the upper floors. As at 10 Dec 2023, the applications were still "Pending Consideration" by City of Bradford MDC. The future of this pub is still to be confirmed.

The previous survey is given below:

This multi-roomed, Edwardian gas-lit freehouse, built in 1901 and re-modelled by William Whitaker & Co in 1936, deserves its recognition by CAMRA as having a nationally important historic pub interior. The genuine interior comprises a drinking hallway and three rooms with wood panelling. The front room still has fittings from the original 1901 construction. Beers are almost exclusively from regional micro-breweries and the number on offer may increase at weekends when Bradford City is playing at home. Spend time looking at the impressive paintings in the back bar and see how many celebrities you can spot! Accommodation is available with fifteen rooms in the main building and two annex buildings. Although the pub does not offer food, there is no problem with this being brought in from the adjacent curry restaurants and plates and cutlery can be provided on request. Individual rooms within the pub, including the cellar room, can be hired. Closing times may vary depending upon the demand.
