Quick info
About The Golden Fleece
Breakfast leads the day at The Golden Fleece, a family-run cafe on St James St in Weston-super-Mare. The interior has not been changed since the premises operated as a Greek restaurant, so the décor from that period is still in place around the tables. A full cooked breakfast runs through the mornings, with a vegetarian version available, and tea comes in large mugs. Beef stew appears on the menu, though not on every visit. The same small team has worked here over many years. A step-free, wheelchair-accessible entrance serves visitors with mobility needs, high chairs suit families with young children, and dogs are welcome inside. The kitchen runs Tuesday to Sunday and closes on Mondays, with Sunday mornings covered. Booking ahead is recommended.

Customer Review Summary
The cooked breakfast is what draws people back, repeatedly called the best in Weston Super Mare, with the veggie version and a giant mug of tea singled out too. Close behind is the beef stew, which one group discovered by chance on carnival night and returned for the next morning, though another reviewer found it unavailable and settled happily for three sausages, mash, peas and onion gravy. Portions are described as plentiful, hot, freshly cooked and well priced, and several call it proper honest food that beats what the outside appearance suggests. The recurring complaint is the decor: multiple reviewers say the place is tired and needs decorating, one noting it has not been touched since it was a Greek restaurant, with a couple wishing for a little music. Those same reviewers urge others not to let it put them off. The family who run it come up constantly as chatty and welcoming, and one returning customer, back for the first time since the pandemic, was pleased to still be remembered.

“Shame the beef stew wasn't available, but I was more than happy with my 3 sausages, mash, peas & onion gravy - washed down with a mug of tea. It was tasty, plentiful & good value. The staff were friendly & there was a good atmosphere.”

“Stumbled upon the place by chance, and didn’t disappoint. Yes it’s tired and could really do with a bit of cheering up, maybe a little music playing somewhere but don’t let that put you off. Veggie breakfast, with a giant mug of tea and we were set! Lovely staff, very prompt service, the food was great and extremely reasonable price too!”

“Very good, honest food. The place really needs to be decorated, though, as it was never touched since it was a Greek place. Could be brilliant with a little tlc and sound business advice.”
