Most Disliked
While The Golden Fleece has many positives, some diners express concerns about wait times during peak hours, particularly on Sundays when the pub reaches full capacity. A few reviews mention the noise level can rise when crowded, which might detract from conversations. Additionally, while the menu is extensive, some guests wish for more vegan options to cater to plant-based diets. On busy weekend nights, finding parking can be a challenge, although free street parking is available nearby.

Been going to the Golden Fleece for many years since moving to the area and never disappointed. Food is excellent, friendly staff, good selection of drinks and nice that we can take our dog with us. Garden is lovely in the summer with plenty of tables

Very nice location overlooking the valley. The food was of a high quality and the service attentive but not intrusive. The best of both worlds for us! We would definitely recommend a visit, but call ahead to book as it is very popular. When we're back in the area we will try to revisit.

Went for the first time yesterday with my six year old and we both had a great time. My daughter recommended we go back as she likes the chips so much, and the pizzas were great. If you sit outside there are beautiful views to take in. Will definitely be coming back.

Whether you are looking for quality traditional pub food or dishes with a fine dining Mediterranean flair this menu will fulfill all taste and appetite requirements with their options of small or large dishes. We eat here regularly and always enjoy working our way through their new menus, as do friends and family who also have them at the top of the list for a great meal out. Excellent value on both food and drinks menus.

Went for lunch with friends. Good selection of food ,(with large and smaller portions for most items). We all had the smaller portions and they were ample. Also had the desert which was large 😋. Will definitely be going back

Absolutely cracking! A warm welcome for me, my husband and our little dog. There were a good number of menu choices to suit all tastes. My roast beef was a very generous portion with crispy roasties, a homemade Yorkshire and mounds of veg. The kitchen were very accommodating of a few substitutions due to dietary requirements. Service was also very quick considering we visited on a busy bank holiday. Would definitely eat here again.

Been past this so many times, but never been in. Phoned up last minute and they could squeeze us in. Plenty parking, excellent service and food was brilliant. Would definitely stop by again.
