Anywhere of a particular high standard as of late? Going to watch the game in a pub somewhere followed by a curry.

Pub will be decided on based on where the curry is..... normally go to Westleigh followed by Omar's, but defiinetly due a change....

Could try the Karachi. Pretty much over the road from Omar's so you could still watch in the same pub.

I've never had a bad curry from there, and they are pretty decent prices

Is the Westleigh still open?

The pub? Yeah. The same guy owns the Westleigh and the Delius now. Much improved in both compared to a couple of years ago.

I have not been for about 3 years when some friends came for a Bradford reunion. It was pretty grim then.

I can't speak for the clientèle but the guy who runs them now used to run the student registry at the Uni. Easily one of the most organised and on the ball people I've ever worked with.

Not that the skills are directly transferable but a big problem with a lot of those sorts of places is they end up being run by people who like standing on one side of a bar and fancy having a go at standing on the other rather than people who have even the slightest idea of what they're doing.

Yeah, pretty much doubles up as the student union bar now.

The Westleigh used to be great, granted about 15-20 years ago (showing my age now), I even worked behind the bar for a period when my mates mum and dad ran the place for a fair few years.

It's definitely a lot better than it was, say 5 years back, when it was grim.

I used to spend a lot of time in there too, about 20 odd years ago! Glad it's looking up, always liked it as a pub.

I was a regular in there from about 91-96. We might all have been there at the same time and never known!

Probably. I was there a lot in those days, as well as in the Shearbridge (more likely) and MacRorys.

Our paths almost certainly crossed in one of those back in the day. I had more hair then...
