Had a lovely time today in the golden fleece the ambience was lovely ideal place to go with friends or take that special someone, the staff were lovely and there was one lady with glasses think her name was Adele she was amazing she was very friendly and warm, I think I may ask for her number next time I go see if she is single.

More fool me for not having a lunch. The deal with a drink seems ok at lunch. Asked for a regular Diet Coke - ie small. Guess how much? £3.25 Not 2 - 3. And three pounds isn’t the most. Then there’s an extra quarter of a pound on top. Three pounds of your taxed income plus twenty-five pence for a glass with a lot of ice (wonder why that’s in there???) and some aerated syrup from a tap. Nice pub. Pleasant location. Absolute day;Ishtar robbery, Greene King. Don’t take the proverbial from customers or you won’t have any left. We teetotallers are sick to death of subsidising beer drinkers because of your gross overpricing.

Poor quality food that we sent back and when it came for the second time was only acceptable. No apologies. Over priced. Fleece is the right word it is simply too expensive for the quality it is in our opinion

Just spent my birthday lunch at the Golden Fleece, so glad I did. Warm smiley welcome as we walked through the door which is a must for me. Hot piping delicious food delivered really quickly and a great atmosphere. The prices were excellent! Lovely genuine staff who couldnt be more nice if they tried. Great find for me and will def go back!

A pretty pub in a pretty village, that was also pretty busy. Stopped off for a quick scampi and chips (portion was on the small side) and a pint. Beer garden was nice and we ate al fresco. Nothing to write home about but the ale was well kept.

Nice pub but will not be going back as I got a parking ticket ! Parked in the pubs car park at night, I might have missed the signs but it was at night and it was the pub's car park, so wasn't expecting it to be run by EuroParks! I wasn't told by the bar staff to register my vehicle and didn't notice the place to do that. Got a ticket and then I have had to go through an appeal with EuroParks giving evidence of my visit (I only had two drinks in a pub !). They have removed the fine but this was all too much hassle to go to a pub !

A few years since I reviewed this pub and Management has changed. Actually always enjoyed this pub for its location next to the canal, on warm summer days it has a great garden with bench seats overlooking the canal. Very good selection of beers and we took our grand kids there for lunch which was excellent. OK its good pub grub but overall, happy to recommend this place for drinks, food or both. Great for kids, walkers passing by even the canal boat owners can enjoy the pub!!. Obviously gets busy on warm sunny days and they also have live sports so something for everyone!!. Worth a visit!!!

My husband and I have a busy weekend from 16th to 17th July celebrating birthdays and wedding anniversaries. This year we went out for his birthday on Friday 16th to Mulino in Urmston, see separate review.On our anniversary, we decided to go out for a drink locally to a pub we have visited several times in the past, The Golden Fleece in Lymm, as we were going away to Chester the following week.This started as a good evening but deteriorated luckily after we had eaten.We decided on the Golden Fleece in Lymm which is 10 minutes from home. It was a warm summers evening so we and most of the other punters sat in the beer garden, most were youngsters 18 to 22 and mixed equally between girls and boys.We were sat closest to the youngsters who were a little loud but generally good humoured. Towards the end of the evening most of the families and older patrons had left, when the landlord spoke with the group of lads nearest to our table and warned them about their behaviour and that there had been complaints made.We heard nor saw anything to warrant a complaint other than a waitress took exception to being offered a drink.The landlord was backing his staff and started barring the lads, adding more to the list if they objected or supported their friends. Because he told the lads there had been complaints made, we felt uncomfortable being the only oldies close to them, we told the lads it was nothing to do with us but we still felt uncomfortable.The landlord came back several times barring more of the lads who were understandably unhappy.The final sanction the landlord imposed was to stop the boys and girls from being served.This obvious confrontation spoiled our evening, more so when we saw no evidence of bad behaviour by the young men.We accept landlords and pub staff have a difficult job especially with rowdy drunks, but that was not the case here. There are two sides to every story and that evening the landlord was not for listening, in fact childish insults were uttered behind his back but not loud enough to be heard by him.The situation could have been handled better, the young men were no abusive or threatening to anyone, yes some did swear but only as young people tend to do in their normal conversation with each other.To complete this review we did eat, we both had prawn cocktail and a chicken tikka banquet, they were excellent and good value. Luckily we had eaten before the barring started. The staff we had any dealings with were cheerful and helpful we had to use an app to order but it was not very user friendly, but a member of staff helped us out.Our overall low rating is solely due to the barring of the lads and that we felt uncomfortable being suspected of making the original complaint.

My husband and I went to The Golden fleece for pre-dinner drinks on Saturday. The friendly manager found us the last table in the beer garden as it was a hot day. He also explained that we had to order via an app. Due to problems with the app it took much longer to order drinks than we anticipated. Whilst we were trying to figure out the app, a gang of rowdy drunken lads on the next table, saw fit to comment inappropriately on virtually every woman who walked on to the beer garden. Not great in a family pub ! We decided to leave but I did report this behaviour to the manager who took my complaint seriously and immediately went out to deal with it. Good on the manager for upholding the standards of the pub ! Unfortunately it tarnished our overall experience and to this end, I doubt we'd return.

My 2 friends and I have had lunch at fleece. On arrival we were given instructions re nhs track and trace app. After we were seated we were allowed to remove our masks (still can't believe I'm saying that ). I refuse to use a brewery app as I already have enough so a physical person came to the table to take our orders . 2 of us had the chicken and bacon salad and my other friend had the gammon. I have to say it's the best salad I've ever had in a pub!...loads of big pieces of beautiful lean chicken, pieces of streaky bacon, salad greens and nice sized pieces of tomatoes and cucumber....very tasty and definitely something I will have again. The staff are lovely and friendly and we had a laugh with them...thanks for a lovely lunch

Forgot face mask in car, there was a pack of hundreds of face masks on the desk in front of me, picked one up and had a member of staff run over, snatch the mask out of my hand aggressively and asked me to pay £1 for it - when I found I didn’t have cash they shrugged their shoulders - they were very rude when I said I would go back to my car instead to get my mask saying the charge was for charity and that I should pay it - so I ended up paying for it by borrowing money from a friend (they said it was going to charity but no official collection tin). Food average and wrong meal brought out twice.

Booked for 4 people. Was told we had to order via the App. This meant we would have to pay each time we ordered rather than running up a bill as normal then paying at the end. I asked if I could order and run up a tab and was told we insist you use the app if you have it. I said ok I will delete the app, and was told well we have seen you have it so you have to use it!. When I said we would go to the pub across the road instead I was told they could take open a tab at the till so I did just that. Then I was told go and sit down and I will take you order. I said can't you just take it now and was told oh, ok then..(very strange). When our friends arrived we ordered food. My wife ordered gammon and was offered it with pineapple or 2 eggs. She asked for it with just one egg was told sorry it comes with 2!! 2 of us wanted to order the curry platter. After a while the waitress came back told us they only had a single portion of rice left (in a restaurant that was less than a quarter full on a Monday evening...?). My wife wanted another Prosecco. The drink arrived half full. We checked the measure of the new Prosecco against the previous one (which had a measure line on the glass) and it was about half the amount. I queried the measure and was told it was correct. I asked what size of drink they were selling and was told it was the same as the last one. I asked them to prove it by pouring it into the measure behind the bar...and it proved I was correct....no apology....just another drink of the correct size brought to the table.At the end of the meal 2 of our party wanted coffee, only to be told that the coffee machine was being cleaned (it was only 9:00pm). We asked if there were any other hot drinks perhaps tea? We were served with a single persons small pot of tea which we were then charged for 2 people.I understand mistakes happen, but this was just a bad experience from start to finish.

This is our first visit to Lymm and the Golden Fleece.The pub explained the covid restrictions clearly and guided us to a lovely table in their beer garden.2 ladies seemed to be running around trying to look after all customers and make sure everybody was served and happy.Emily is a credit to your establishment and was incredibly pleasant and even though she was wearing a mask you could clearly see her smile although not present.The beer garden was very nice and was certainly appreciated on a day of blue skies & bright sunshine.Our only cririsism seemed to be from the kitchen. We could hear the girls having to apologise to numerous tables for their dissatisfaction with their food, and things missing from their orders. Whilst we were more than happy with our food we did have to remind the waitress that we didn't have our chips.We made a point of seeking out the manager to pass on our compliments regarding Emily and that for her young age she was very professional and curtious.We will definitely be returning in the future.

We are lucky enough to be able to walk to The Fleece. When we returned after the (first!) lockdown there seemed to be an issue with the booking system. This is now resolved. Tonight we were warmly welcomed by friendly staff. Our choice of table was accommodated. The quality of the food was definitely above our expectations. My husband said that his steak was one of the best he’d had-including more expensive restaurants. My lasagne was also excellent. For quality food in a congenial atmosphere I would definitely recommend The Golden Fleece.

Not covid compliant. Went outside to the beer garden. Most of its tables in its sizeable beer garden were littered with dirty glasses, unemptied ashtrays, crisp packets etc.I came in for a drink went to sit outside to find all this. They say they are meant to clean tables before the next customer, this obviously isn`t happening. Let alone the the normal basic hygiene standards. Didn`t stay.There is absolutely no need for this as, as drinks are delivered to your table the staff should clean up when they bring the drinks.Manager needs to sort this out. Will try again next week in the hope that things have changed

Although they are offering a slightly reduced menu at present- there's still a good choice and it really is good food and value for money! I definitely recommend the signature hunters chicken. We were served by Caitlyn and she was excellent. The beer garden is beautiful, with a good view of the canal. AND there's an outside bar but it's just a shame it's only apparently open at weekends. The new team have surely done an amazing job with the reopening. I felt safe and still enjoyed that pub feeling. We will definitely be back.

We visited this pub for lunch today and 'took advantage' of the 2 course Senior's deal.We ordered and paid (including a 'decent tip' for the barman) who was very pleasant and friendly.We had a lengthy wait for our first course to arrive,and with a empty pint glass in front of me,I asked my 'Missus' if she would take a rare trip to the bar to order drinks and our desserts,that we had paid for.We were informed by a grinning buffoon,that I took to be the landlord that we should have ordered our desserts with our mains (we were not made aware of this) and that the computer was effectively saying "NO".And surprise surprise,there was "nothing they could do about it". My 'main' (fish,chips and mushy peas) eventually arrived and I found it interesting,tough grey fish and batter ranging in colour from dark brown to black and 'crispy' mushy peas.Some of the chips would have been more at home in a Casino.Do the brewery/owners read reviews of their 'establishment'.Do they ever road test it? This lovely lovely pub,with a fabulous canal-side beer garden,in a picturesque Cheshire village deserves better from the people who only seem interested in milking it.L.Kinsey

Not been in here for years since moving from Lymm. Ive spent plenty of time in their amazing beer garden over the years. Nipped in after a walk around the dam for some lunch. Before I start.... I didn’t have unrealistic expectations given the price of the food.Both ordered a cheese burger and a pizza for our son. All I can say is it made Wetherspoons look like Michelin starred food. I don’t leave reviews but felt compelled to warn people. The burger was a cheap patty, the ‘loaded fries’ were a joke and the kids pizza is like one of those £1 ones you stick in the microwave, all dough and little topping. I wished I had photographed it to explain quite how bad this was. It wasn’t particularly busy either so not like they have that as an excuse. It strikes me that this place relays on passing trade rather than return customers. To add to this the staff were miserable, even heard the table next to us saying how rude the staff were. I will never be returning to this place ever again or any pub run by this chain. Truly appalling.

The Golden Fleece in Lymm has been a favourite pub for many years. Lovely pub in a great location along the canal.I visited the pub over the weekend and would seriously consider going there again.Every table was covered in dirty dishes and tables had not been cleaned and very sticky. The girl doing the cleaning up really couldn't be bothered. Taking one or 2 glasses at a time then having a mobile phone break behind the bar. In the whole couple of hours we were there tables still had not been cleared!The barman very unfriendly, a real effort to serve you. He was much happier on his phone and chatting to friend standing away from the bar.Come on Golden Fleece, get your act together or you are going to lose custom. It was always a pleasure to visit but standards slipping badly.

I took a drink back explaining it was flat to which the bar tender poured himself a glass and said “ that’s how it tastes” then went on to charge me for another drink, the same member of staff ignored my mum three times. Would not recommend coming here if you’re looking for a friendly service! Asked local diners who’s opinion on that member of staff was “oh he’s always that moody”. Will not be returning here!

Nice friendly staff, but could do with more people working on the bar. The food could also do with some improvement. Good pub though, best in the village.

A first visit and found the pub warm and homely. A very nice greeting on the way in and immediate attention from the staff. Comfortable table not crammed in and a clear menu with a good range of food to suit everyone. Ordered and served in good time by truly excellent staff - all nice and smiling and jolly. The food for extremely low prices was excellent. I couldnt find fault with 4 different starters and 4 different mains and 2 sweets. Very good tastes and presentation. Toilets very good and clean. The whole place was spoyless and very well maintained. Most enjoyable. The carpark is chargeable but that is returned if you use the pub. Good idea in a town.

Went a year ago for a meal very slow service despite not being busy staff rude and uninterested. Waited an hour for our meals limp salad steak tough as old boots my chicken was under cooked in the middle so left it didn’t want to wait another hour for it to be sorted and nobody came to check everything was ok with our meals anyway. and you are served about 8 chips so don’t go there if you are hungry. Also a lot of the menu was out of stock

The last time I came to the fleece was a few months ago and nothing we ordered from the menu was available. Thought we would try it again but at 8:33 pm we were told they stopped doing food 3 minutes ago although menus and cutlery were still on all the tables. The pub was full of kids not spending money and we wanted to order a few drinks and food. Not a good way to run a business. Shame as it's in great location.

Just had a roast beef dinner in this pub. Got to say it's the worst roast I have ever tasted. Frozen veg and roasties. Soggy Yorkshire pud and absolutely tasteless. And to top it off the lad behind the bar was as miserable as sin. Do not recommend

The Fleece has always attracted the younger generation, I remember it being very busy on a Friday back in the day. There did seem to be a younger crowd in when we visited and it's a sports pub too. This was fine for us, not as plush as The Spread but no complaints, we kept an eye on the rugby.

Recently visited the Golden Fleece and enjoyed it so much, great value, great atmosphere really friendly staff, the food has vastly improved since kym and Andy have taken over and the chef even stayed later to make me and the family a dessert. Really tasty Would recommend to anyone thanks kym and Andy for a great time!

So we went in about 5.30 and place fairly empty. Not problem, yet the tables we dirty and all the staff we behind the bar chatting with each other! Perfectly nice staff but a bit disappointing atmosphere wise.

Would recommend avoiding this pub. We visited to celebrate my mother in law's birthday following a recommendation, but we were severely disappointed. The food was mediocre and the service poor. A number of things were forgotten such as dips with the starters and not enough plates and serving spoons were provided. At the end of the meal I was unable to get a coffee as they had stopped serving hot drinks. Though this was not the worst of it. What really spoilt the evening was the noise. It was so noisy you could hardly hear yourself think never mind hold a conversation. We had to shout at each other to get ourselves heard.

Went here for lunch with my partner, The mixed grill was fabulous, and I had steak which was perfect. The staff were lovely and friendly as were all the customers. Many were obviously locals and this would be a perfect meeting place with friends. It is also a dog friendly pub so is ideal for people out walking with their dogs, wanting to stop for a drink. The gardens are lovely, along side the canal, so peaceful watching the canal barges float by. Will be sure to go for another sumptious meal soon.

Me and partner had a nice walk along the canal and visited the pub due to the location. We arrived at 1:45pm peak time and que for the bar was very busy due to Hot Weather. Decided to venture into Lymm from Warrington as a nice day. Staff seemed very preoccupied and gloomy faces. I have been to lymm twice in the last few weeks and used this pub on both occasions. Think I will try other pubs when visiting lymm next time. Oh must be a theme here with Green King pubs as I have noticed other pubs in this chain where staff are reluctant to serve food as well.

Service was very poor - but they were extremely busy. I went to order meal, one of which was Yorkshire Pud roll to be told out of stock so ordered a steak pie for my son and two veggie curries for myself and husband. After about 10 minutes they came back and said they had no rice would chips be OK - advised no and ordered scampi and lasagne. We also bought a bottle of wine and had to ask for wine cooler which meant standing in a queue again at the bar, I did ask the barman who was collecting glasses and he told me I would have to wait in queue as he was picking with the glasses.

Nice pint (Moorhouse) and reasonably priced food (£10.99 for 2 pub favourite main courses). That said, every time we visit, the service is poor. Strange bar design doesn’t help. If truth be told there are better pubs in Lymm and we only go here because wife likes the beer garden. Overall, bang average.

Visited to look at the amazing Christmas displays that Bents have and they did not disappoint. Everything and anything you can think of for Christmas is here and beautifully displayed. The pop up food counters have now opened and we tried one of the large Yorkshire puddings filled with brisket and it was amazing. Definitely worth a visit especially with children as they will be amazed with all the sparkle of Christmas.

Waited over 40 mins for food, we ordered two roast beef dinners with extra potatoes. Firstly they brought the extra potatoes out first which where cold, few mins later the dinner arrived, the beef was very tough couldn’t cut it and the rest was cold , only thing hot was the extra pot of gravy. Staff seemed new as they didn’t really know what to do, apart from being told by some guy walking round on a laptop telling them what needed doing. When I complained I was either offered to have the meals recooked ( didn’t want to wait another 45 mins or a free dessert ( didn’t fancy a dessert after not eating my main. Still ended up paying for some thing I didn’t eat , very expensive for awful food , will not be returning !!

Absolutely loved our meal at the Jolly thresher, staff were so friendly and attentive, nothing was too much trouble, they went above and beyond., the bar man heard my Mum and I discussing the pump cider and without a word, gave us a taster to help us decide. Our meal was delicious, generous portions and reasonably priced. We will definitely be returning.
