Reviews The Golden Fleece

Thank you to the two members of staff (I'm sorry, can't remember your names) for making our birthday girl feel really special on her 18th birthday this evening. The food, as always, was faultless and the service was great! Excellent as always, service with a smile. Never disappoints!

Not one for these posh Sunday dinners but we went here with a couple of friends (4 of us in total) and was blown away. The food was absolutely fantastic, a real steal for the price! Service was spot on as well even on a busy Sunday afternoon. The pictures speak for themselves - we will return!

Ate from the 'Lunchtime Lite Bite' menu. Very good food. Portions are a good size. Good value. Busy so waiter a bit slow to take our order. Otherwise service good. Traditional/modern decor.

Didn't eat so can't comment which I know is a bit naff really... however ; what a gorgeous bloody pub. Warm colours inside, comfy chairs, beautiful decor, full of character. Unfortunately I was there for a gathering of friends saying goodbye to a dearly departed but whilst in there one can't help but notice the ambience, the fragrance and I've got to say, I'll definitely return under different circumstances to dine. Cracking place (50yr +)

“We really must check that place out…” And we’re so glad we did! Exceptional food in a relaxing atmosphere. My wife had spotted the Golden Fleece when we had taken the A road towards Leeds a number of times and I had recalled visiting many, many moons ago and liking it but not being overly impressed. This return journey, however, yielded much better results and I suspect we’ll be going back a lot sooner than previously, the visit was that much enjoyed. We booked for a midday table for three (a celebratory meal for my fathers birthday) which was just as the doors opened - and this proved to be the best decision as the venue (the Golden Fleece can’t just be described as a ‘pub’) got very busy with a Sunday lunch crowd that knew exactly how good the fare was. And - my gods - the food!! I went for the wonderful and delicate pulled pork bhaji/black pudding balls starter but had to try out the Prawnography prawn cocktail, partly because of the cheeky title but also because of the description of ‘the best prawn cocktail in the world ever!’ Well, I’ll be the judge of that, thank you very much! And, yes, I think they may be right! A combination of battered, fresh and cocktailed prawn, all wonderfully fresh and tasty, paired with fresh crisp salad, sumptuously displayed - and lots of it! The batter was a particular standout – very light and tasty – but the whole thing was well worth paying the extra starter price for. The prawn cocktail actually was part of the Sunday menu deal which makes it an even better appealing option. My maincourse consisted of the beef and gammon roast dinner – other meats are available but if it melted and tasted as good as the beef/gammon did, I’d love to know who their source of meats are as it really was next level, I barely needed a knife to cut it. The veg was honey glazed, again beautifully prepared, and the other meals ordered by our party were equally enjoyed. Forget compliments to the chef, I wanted to go and buy the man a pint or two! Combine this with a warm and relaxed, old style setting and incredibly attentive and positive staff, And you have the makings of a visit which will last in our memories for many moons to come. Visit the Golden Fleece to make your own, you won’t be disappointed.
