What Meditape doesn't like about The Golden Fleece:
Food was awful, any chef that sends out burnt Yorkshire puddings has to question their profession. Cauliflower cheese had too much flour and not enough butter ended up with a Cake type texture. Ingredients used and cooking abilities of this kitchen are below average but charging above average prices for food. Service was excellent and can’t fault the staff, kitchen needs a good sort out though. Parking: Plenty of par... View all feedback. What User likes about The Golden Fleece:
this is quite late in the writing, but our family has been fed in the fleece for many years and thought it would be time to leave a review. there is a reason why we return to the fleece and it in a beautiful village and with a cozy atmosphere in the inner, eating is brilliant. peter and jessica were quick to roll away when they were locked. Well, we were blown away with how good they were. we have treated ourselves s... View all feedback.

The Golden Fleece offers a delightful ambiance and attentive service but struggles with culinary consistency. While some diners rave about the delicious dishes, such as perfectly cooked fillet steak and expertly crafted gluten-free meals, others lament overcooked meats and unappetizing sides, like burnt Yorkshire puddings and dry roast potatoes. The pub's welcoming atmosphere and staff have received consistent praise, making it an inviting choice for family gatherings. However, a disconnect between the quality of food and pricing leaves room for improvement. Ultimately, visitors may enjoy their experience if they approach with tempered expectations.
