A PUB is celebrating after being named the best in Bradford.
The Telegraph & Argus launched its Best Pub 2026 competition last month.
10 finalists were found and we have been profiling each one of them.
We can now reveal which establishment has been crowned the winners.
What is the best pub in Bradford?
The Low Moor, on Huddersfield Road, came out on top.
Demi and Josh Reed, who run the pub, said the award is a testament to the hard work they have put into transforming the venue.
Demi said: "I can’t believe it, actually.
"I just want to thank all the customers who voted for us and we’re just going to continue to build."
The couple took over the pub a year ago and have since carried out a major revamp, breathing new life into the venue.
They said: "I think it was getting a little bit tired.
"It’s been a lot of work, but we’ve definitely turned it around.

How did The Low Moor pub win?
The pair believes their people-first approach has played a key role in the Low Moor based pub’s success.
Demi said: "It helps that I knew the place already."
She began working at the venue when it was a working men’s club, starting as a bar staff member at the age of 16 and staying until she was 20.
After leaving, she ran a wax melt business, while her husband Josh worked in landscaping.
The couple were approached about taking over the pub two years ago after hosting a surprise party there.
They spent a year considering the offer before deciding to take the plunge.
The pub welcomes everyone and has a family-friendly focus.
They said: "Anybody can call in.
"We’re family-orientated as well, we do a lot for kids and families."
They said the atmosphere has grown steadily since they took over.
Demi said: "Every week, every Saturday, it’s been really busy, it’s been good watching it grow from having nobody to having absolutely loads of people.
"I think word just spread and people would call in and try it, so it’s gradually built up.
"It wasn’t something that just happened overnight."

World Cup success
Looking back on their first year, she said every part has been a highlight, with New Year’s Eve and the World Cup standing out.
They said: "It was so nice to see families coming in."
Demi also praised the loyalty of their regulars.
She said: "We have a lot of people who come in week in, week out, some people come in most days that we’re open.
"You do get some people that are so loyal to you, and they’ll do anything to help.
"The year has just absolutely flown."
The couple plan to keep building on their success and have more events in the pipeline, including a country and western day on August 30.
