The first records of the Bay Horse date back to 1822, at that time it was occupied by a Mr William Mawson, when the population of Bradley consisted of only 506 people. By the 1860's when Bradley became industrialised, The Bay Horse quenched the thirsts of workers from the local spinning and weaving mills.
A country pub oozing rural charm and rustic character, our picturesque surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for savouring the hearty, seasonal pub-food on our menu, and the carefully nurtured cask ales and fine wines gracing our bar.
Whether you are planning dinner with friends or Sunday lunch with family, book a table online and enjoy some quality time with those you love the most.

First visited The Bay Horse back in 2022 and have been back about ten times since that first visit. I previously left a positive review after the first visit but, having visited twice in 2024 already, I decided to do an update and post a new review. And having visited numerous times now I have updated my review from a 4 star one to a 5 star one. To begin I can honestly say we have never had a bad meal here. The food is excellent. No matter what I have had I've enjoyed. Whether that be fish and chips, sirloin steak, sausage and mash or the duo of lamb. I signed up online for their app and regularly get offers coming through offering various discounts usually on the main meals. We have taken advantage of two offers already this January offering 50% off main meals. This means you can get fish and chips for under £8.00 and an 8 oz Sirloin steak for under a tenner. Fantastic value for money. You just can't fault these prices in the current climate. I can only repeat, it is fantastic value for money for such good food. They also do a fixed price lunch time menu Monday to Thursday which I have had on earlier visits. Currently showing as £15.50 for two courses and £19.50 for three. The three courses certainly filled me up. My advice though is to sign up to the app and wait for the offers they will send you. Side orders are also a lot cheaper than many other establishments. For example, a portion of seasonal greens is only £2.95. A portion of triple cooked chips or fries are the same, £2.95. Some places are charging almost twice that today. When we went on the 9th of January I ordered the steak. However, I couldn't see mushrooms on the menu as a side order. I asked our server and she said she would sort this for us. When I got the bill we had been charged seventy five pence. That is unbelievably cheap. And it wasn't a tiny portion either. They have a good selection of desserts and, those I've tried, have been lovely. Sure there would be something on that menu that would appeal to everyone. I like the wine list here. A good selection with a nice range of prices making it competitive with other establishments. Several wines under £20.00 a bottle. One thing I do like as well is they offer you an ice bucket for your white wine. Not many places do that today and I think it really helps make the wine more enjoyable. Service has been, apart from one visit, friendly and efficient. The only time it was a little below par was one of the servers was only just starting her second week and she seemed a little nervous and unsure. We have been back since that visit and that server is now transformed and as accomplished as the others. It's one of the few places where I seem to remember always being asked if we have any allergies. We don't but it's still nice to be asked. Many places just don't bother. We really feel welcome when we have visited and come away with the impression that our custom is appreciated. As for the premises themselves there is a massive car park. 4 disabled bays at top of car park and a level entrance from there into the building and bar area. I have seen comments on here saying its dirty and run down and complaints of it smelling. We have never experienced anything like that in our numerous visits. Sure, it's an old building and it's not the most modern and plush inside but it's called character in my book. I prefer places to have their own uniqueness rather than be carbon copies of other establishments. We have always found it to be clean. Staff quickly clear and clean tables once vacated. And it's lovely and warm. There is an open fire in one part of the building. You do need to climb a few steps to access this section but no matter where we have sat in the colder months it's always been very cosy. The Bay Horse is about a half hours drive away for us. But with the offers we get it’s well worth visiting. As long as they keep sending out offers and we are served great food and met with such friendly service we will continue to make the journey.
The service was very efficient and the staff were really friendly The deep fried Brie wasn’t very nice, it could have done with being cooked a bit longer in my opinion - the breadcrumbs weren’t that crispy and the cheese wasn’t that warm in the middle. The fish cake main was a bit tasteless - in my opinion the fish cakes should be bigger so you don’t lose the taste of the fish. It is also missing an ingredient to make it more of an interesting dish but I’m not sure what?! It was a bit bland. The steak was cooked beautifully and the portion sizes were fantastic. The brownie for desert was yummy and again great portion sizes!
We went for a Christmas dinner with a team of 14 and really enjoyed this place. Right from the entry till exit everything was good and well arranged. Our seats were arranged before our arrival, our pre ordered food was served without any delays, atmosphere was good, last but not the least the service was very good. We all enjoyed the food, atmosphere and service. Thanks for making our event memorable. Looking forward to visiting again.. 👍
First time visit, and very enjoyable. Staff very friendly and efficient, which created a nice ambience. Food was excellent. My sister and I had the chicken and pancetta pie, with fresh vegetables and proper mash, whilst our cousin had fish and chips. Delicious.
Called in our way back from Leeds.Trying to find a pub/restaurant that served food. Glad we found this restaurant. The food was great the only exception was the Brocolli was a bit too hard. I had the HUNTER’S CHICKEN SCHNITZEL topped with a BBQ & tomato sauce, crispy bacon and melted Cheddar, served with triple-cooked chips (1337kcal). My wife & two daughters had the TURKEY BREAST* topped with a maple bacon crumb, served with stuffing and chicken gravy (1828kcal). For Dessert we had THE HONEY POT (V) Milk chocolate honey pot filled with silky chocolate mousse, smooth honey and crunchy honeycomb, served with a buttery biscuit and honeycomb ice cream (693kcal) Never had this before it was #AMAZING. My daughter had VANILLA CRÈME BRÛLÉE (V) with home-baked shortbread biscuit 462kcal Will be back again when next on a visit to Yorkshire .
