  “We visited the Golden Fleece on Friday to celebrate my mums birthday which has been a ritual for the last 2 years and it never EVER disappoints. We all ordered the flat iron steak & it was cooked TOO perfection & great value for Money. We were greeted by extremely kind staff , there was a brilliant atmosphere throughout the evening including a live singer which was brilliant too. We had the NZ Sauvignon and Prosecco which was also not another let down ( brilliant choice of high end wine ) not to mention the pornstar martinis aswell which are 10/10! We will be returning for the foreseeable future!”

  “A first visit here and definitely will recommend staff attentive and the food was excellent in lovely surroundings. Took advantage of the light lunch option of 2 courses for £20 including drinks. Excellent value”

  “I asked friends for a recommendation of nice places to eat for our anniversary and The Golden Fleece was recommended. Staff were friendly, service was great and the food was unbelievable. Myself, husband and 15 year old son (who is hard to please) loved all of our food. We will definitely return!”

  “This place is our go-to pub, it literally has it all! On evenings and weekends it’s a great place for date night or drinks with friends, lovely dinner menu, lovely cosy atmosphere too, through the day they offer the best lunch menu around, the staff are so amazing at what they do! Never felt so welcome, whether you’re just passing by or you’re a regular, the greeting is always warm. And the food?! Always a level up! It’s not greasy, microwaved budget pub grub, it’s PROPER grub. Even though it’s next to a main road, it has that cosy country pub feel to it. My only issue with this place is I don’t live close enough to go as often as I’d like! Myself, friends and family have been going for years and I will continue to. When you find a good pub, you don’t want to lose it! Love it here! Recently we had special treatment due to a friends birthday which was the icing on top of the cake! Can’t thank the team enough for making it special, even if it was a random Tuesday afternoon. Thanks so much Golden Fleece team!”

  “Lovely pub. Easy to get to (short distance from M62) and plenty of parking. Food was delicious and really good value. Staff were great and service was fab. There was a singer on which was an unexpected bonus - the pub do a themed bottomless brunch every fortnight which looked brilliant.”

  “I ordered off the Lite Bites menu (2 courses for £20 or 3 courses for £24). I had Soup of the Day - Tomato and Red Pepper, with ciabatta bread and a whipped butter. This was topped with balsamic vinegar, crispy onions and herbs. It was by far the nicest soup i've ever tasted!! I then had the Pot Pie - chicken, bacon and leek. This was accompanied by mashed potato and peas. The pie was delicious, the mash was smooth and topped with crispy onions and herbs (amazing!). I throughly enjoyed it as it was full of meat and enough sauce that gravy wasn't needed. I had the Winterberry Crumble for dessert. They swapped the ice cream for custard for me. I wasn't keen on this but that was purely personal preference. It was presented well and cooked to perfection. It is a busy pub with lots of seating but it has a homely feel to it with nice comfy chairs. You need to book a table as it was busy by the time we left. We will absolutely be returning and I will recommend The Golden Fleece as the place to go! They also have Gluten Free available so we will be back!”

  “Attended last Saturday for my Birthday Brunch with the Girls. Dave was very attentive and friendly as always! Lots of quality food choices and it's nice to be offered a great selection of Tapas rather than 'Eggs Benedict'! Great selection of drinks choices as they're normally very limited but not this one, there was something for everyone. It was also lovely to have live music on, the only thing I would say is it just needs turning down a touch if that is even possible. Overall fabulous and cannot wait to come back!”

  “Absolutely delicious Sunday roast, the beef was exactly as tender and pink as it promised to be. Portion wise, I'd say they definitely concentrated on quality over quantity, which I got the impression it would be. I paid for extra pimped up Cauliflower Cheese (with leeks and broccoli) and stuffing, which cost an extra £12 or so in total. Seems to be a running theme with decent food places, because it's the extras where they make their money. Fair enough. And they were worth the extra money. Pushed the price of each roast to nearly £30 each, so not for the fainthearted, but I'd say it was worth every penny for the enjoyment of the dishes. The only negative for me was the vegetables on offer - one thinly sliced half carrot and half parsnip each, and a generous dollop of cabbage, nothing else. This is what made it a 4* meal and not a 5. Paired with a few small roast potatoes I thought it could have done with a couple of extra elements on the plate. The waitress did offer us extra gravy so bonus points for that. The building was charming and cosy, but it was a bit cold sat next to the window, with no radiator running. We soon moved to the cosy fire for a drink after the meal. All in all I'd definitely recommend and return”

  “I have driven past this pub so many times but never been in. Me and my sister were taking the mother to Readmans (next door). We parked up, my sister suggested we pop into the pub for a drink before Readmans. So, in we pop. As we had parked at the back of the building, you don’t get the best impression of the pub. I’m not sure what I was expecting, but as soon as we stepped inside, I was impressed. All thoughts of having lunch anywhere else were immediately expelled. The pub had a busy dining area but we chose a quieter spot. This is an absolutely fantastic pub, I will definitely be making more stops here in future. Great menu, food and very friendly service. The food is top notch! One tiny observation is my crumble to apple ratio is the complete opposite of the chefs. I like a lot of crumble and custard when I order apple crumble. Having said that all of the ingredients in our 3 meals were good quality and generous. I want to return for Sunday lunch and the pub quiz.”

  “We found this place towards the end of last year and thank goodness we did! It’s now our favourite local pub. The pub itself has a lovely atmosphere. The decor is cosy and welcoming. The team who work there are always friendly and the service is top notch. Now, the food. The foooood! We’ve never had a bad meal here. Finally, a pub who make a genuinely delicious roast! And my husband loves the flat iron steaks. The quality of their ingredients is amazing and you can tell they put a lot of care into serving up the best quality food possible. Always enjoy our visits and we have since brought our families for a couple of special occasions now and everyone has been impressed. Thank you to the team at Golden Fleece ❤️ already looking forward to our next visit x”
