The Fleece Inn in Hambleton

Total disaster. Very unwelcoming. No kids menu. Waitress unhelpful. Food over cooked and cold. Terrible ambience, cold and not very clean.

Had a wonderful time today with the family .. the food and service was outstanding. Everyone in our party could not praise the day enough. Thank you to Penny, Adie and the team .. we will certainly be back again very soon.

Fabulous as always!! Food was delicious & the staff are great. This is our favourite pub & they never disappoint 😊. Highly recommend

Whenever we stay in Northallerton I always have beers in the Fleece. Not only is this a historic old pub, it is a really good traditional, local pub that is so far removed from the modern chain bars. On a bitterly cold evening it also had a huge draw via a roaring, real fire. Add a good atmosphere, good music on stream, friendly service and possibly the cheapest beer in town and you can’t go wrong. Top pub.

Distinctly average , food was luke warm ! Roast potatoes were greasy , very disappointing after being recommended to go for carvery .

Beer always well kept, service always friendly. Only eaten here once or twice but never had any problems with the food- it's often packed for lunch so book early!. Could do with a new hand dryer in the gents...! Sometimes music on an evening is way too loud- it's a cosy pub and this can spoil the atmosphere.

FANTASTIC we went on 23 Oct with our coach load of people for a hot/cold Buffet. WOW it was fabulous, We thank ALL the staff for their hospitality. A fantastic pub with great beers, great food and friendly staff THANKS

Never been before what a beautiful little place. Food was amazing atmosphere was great landlord/lady could not do enough for us thank you we will definitely be back 👍🏻👏🏻 Lesley B Newcastle

Booked restaurant last month and on the day of visit The Fleece cancelled. Decided to give them a second chance. Booked restaurant for 7pm last night and got confirmation. When we turned up we were told food service stopped at 3pm. After getting confirmation by email this was dreadful. We will not be giving them a third chance. Beware anybody who is thinking of going there.

What an amazing lunch. Family of 7. Food was amazing I had the pie and it was amazing with home made chips and posted veg To top it off I was able to take my large dog with us

We always enjoyed this place but Sunday was a disaster Shown to the table and that’s where the service stopped no asking for drinks, no info re carvery and no dessert menu, didn’t see another member of staff during the whole experience. Went to the bar to ask for teas and coffees and was told the machine was broken. The meat was dry but the veggies were nice. Very disappointed won’t be going again. No idea what went wrong this visit. Shame as we thought we’d found a treasure

Absolutely brilliant. I visited for the Sunday carvery with my family and 4 year old daughter. I believe it was the landlady who was serving and after realising my daughter didn't want much advised that we didn't have to pay for her, even though she loaded my daughters bowl with meat. In addition to that as I was carrying my daughter she kindly put my choice of food on my plate and placed it at my table. She really could not of been more accomadating. Plus the food was fantastic and very reasonable. 5 stars

Happy staff members food was excellent Sunday carvery lovely

Bad customer communication speak to people like dirt

Lovely place. Friendly locals, and wonderful bar staff. Food was great too. V dog friendly - he was made v v welcome and given a sausage gratis!!

First time eating at this pub - we had the lamb and mint pie, parmo chicken burger, and the black and blue burger, and our dog even got treated to a burger too! Lovely friendly staff and great service. The food was delicious and very good value for money. We will be back!

Fab food, tasty and good value for money. Service good considering it was a busy Saturday. Slight issue that no brie with chicken baguette and nothing said until queried. Once highlighted issue sorted quickly with provision of bowl of tasty chutney as a substitute. Will definitely visit again.

Absolutely amazing Sunday lunch as always gammon was lush . Can't fault the staff they always go above and beyond for you .

Awful Sunday dinner today, don't know if its because I went 2.30pm. The gammon was over cooked. No Turkey on a Sunday dinner. I asked for a 2nd yorkshire pudding as I have no veg. The chef was rude my friend said she can have mine as I'm not having one. This place needs customer service skills. Won't be coming back

If you're after a good value, friendly, proper pub then this is a great place. Me and my wife went in on a Sunday and chose the carvery. It was ready straight away, good portions and great quality. Nice open fire too. If I had to pick then the gents toilets were a bit dark.

Visited the fleece today for Sunday lunch and we weren't disappointed. We had the Sunday carvery loads of meat on your plate and plenty of vegetables to choose from. We also had a dessert each which was very nice aswell. Staff were very friendly and very helpful. We will definitely be returning in the next few weeks.

Visited for Mothers Day, really friendly staff and nice home cooked carvery - very generous portion. Great value for money.

We went today for the Sunday carvery for a family celebration, the food was superb couldn't fault it.

Tried the carvery today for the first time. Quite basic to be fair, the roast pork was a little dry but still nice. The beef was lovely and tender and very flavoursome. Plenty of choice of vegetables and lovely big Yorkshires. All in all it was very nice and good value for money.

Lovely Sunday lunch and the lady I think she the owner was so nice with the dogs giving them there own Sunday lunch we sat in the bar area was a lovely atmosphere and the chap cutting meats was really nice and chatty also I complimented him on is Yorkshire puddings was our first visit and we will be back fabulous value for Money not sure if They do sweets but we will ask next time we visit !

Highly recommend the breakfast buffet. A great warm welcome from Adam. Superb food in an oldywaldy pub, log fire, dog friendly and great real ales.

Lovely friendly pub.... highly recommended!!

friendly staff and great service. Nice selection of cask ales. All 3 meals we had were spot on, my gammon was exactly what I expect from a proper pub gammon, bonus points for having 2 eggs with it.

Really lovely carvery. Most enjoyable. Fantastic taste and great price. Will definitely be telling all our friends and visiting again.

Fabulous. Traditional pub. Welcoming with open fire, great beer and great staff. Landlady is so friendly!

The friendliest pub in Northallerton!

Travelled 35 minutes and was not disappointed. No complaints at all. Staff are fantastic. Carvery was a 10/10. 3 meats, (beautiful) genours selection of veg. Very well priced. We will be visiting again soon.

Great traditional pub. We travelled 35 minutes for the carvery on a Sunday and was not disappointed! Very well priced and the quality/portion was very good. Staff were very attentive. We will be booking to go again in the near future. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

We had just the best Sunday roast we've had for a long time! It was a carvery, and so plentiful and tasty. The staff were lovely & welcoming, as was the ambience...definitely will be returning!

I don't like giving poor reviews, but this was so bad I feel I need to warn others. The pub gets quite good reviews on TripAdvisor so I chose it for a family lunch and pre-booked a table for 6. Good points: it's a very central location in Northallerton and it's a very old pub. Not so good points: no table allocated for us in the warm front bar with a fire and service (despite pre-booking) so we sat alone in a freezing, empty back room. Absolutely no heating and we wore our outdoor coats throughout the meal. It was empty with no atmosphere, table not laid despite being described to us as "the restaurent" and no Christmas decorations at all (Dec 2023)!. We had to ask for candles to be lit and huddled over them to get warm. Service was terrible with 1 person trying to do everything, ignoring us and concentrating on the tables in the front. We waited about 30 minutes to get drinks and order. Half the starters weren't available and the main courses were missing things eg spinach risotto but the kitchen had no spinach. Another long wait to get our food delivered by which time we were ravenous. Trying to get a second round of drinks was hopeless, the service was so bad. Food quality distinctly average. We couldn't wait to pay up, get home and warm up. Absolutely can't recommend the Fleece unless you have very low standards. Very sad as we'd travelled 150 miles to visit a relative and take them out to lunch.

Popped in tonight for a beer with my partner. Couldn't wait to leave, the amount, volume & loud foul language was awful.I complained on leaving to the barman who looked about 15. We will not be rushing back.

Visited today with my husband for lunch. I ordered fish pie and OMG this was probably the best fish pie I have ever had. Full of lovely fish the sauce was amazing and the mash was to light and buttery absolutley cooked fresh to perfection. We had to wait a little while but it was well worth the wait. The service was very good the atmosphere was nice. We debated prior to going in as so many new eateries in Northallerton now but it did not disappoint. We will be back

Excellent meal at the Angry Cow which is part of the Fleece Inn Northallerton. The cote de beouf was amazing and we will be back soon.

Amazing food and free bottle of wine with their weekend deal! The best food I’ve had in a long time and will be making more use of The Fleece Inn!

The Fleece is probably the oldest pub in Northallerton and it simply oozes history. With its low, beamed ceilings and large open fire it is also fabulously cozy. The service was good, as was the atmosphere and the real ales we had were excellent. This pub went through a dodgy few years with the wrong clientele and management but now seems to be back to its best and is a great place for a pint.

Lunch in the Fleece...small menu... But the meals we had were well cooked, full of flavour and excellent value....why have I never had lunch here before? I certainly will be back soon.

Recommended by Adam (staff) when on a night out. Me and my fiancee came in the next day. We were amazed with the level of food that was presented to us absolutely fantastic and a surprise amuse bouche which was delicious. Highly recommended you won't be disappointed!! Thank you Adam and chefs we will be back.

Wow just wow the best stake I gave had in a long time. Asked if it could be pan fried no problem. The red wine and bone marrow sauce was excuisite

Beautiful meal tonight, brilliant service and will definitely return, well worth a visit if you haven't been recently.

Highly recommend the Fleece. Excellent meal, great service. Great selection on the menu Definitely going back before I leave

Delicious dinner , friendly fast service . Highly recommended. Great addition to Northallerton . We shall be back soon .

Really delicious food and very well presented. Excellent, friendly service. Will definitely come back.

Really nice steak and friendly waiter, served us our steaks the wrong way round but this was fine as we were going to share anyway, the accompanying mushroom particularly notable. Mushroom arancini and cauliflower cheese soup were both excellent starters. Got an extra side of bacon peas which was very enjoyable. Didn’t drink any wine but had a couple of nice pints

Highly recommend a visit to the oldest pub in Northallerton. The Angry food partnership with The Fleece is an amazing foodie addition - yum yum!

Went for Sunday lunch two weeks ago. We had booked but was put on a small round table next to the bar not enough room at all. It was in an overcrowded small and very noisy room. Not a pleasant time. As for Sunday lunch believe me I have had much better. Sorry but I will not be going again.

Had the fleece’s new evening menu “The angry cow” on Saturday night, second night of the menu. We had absolutely fantastic food couldn’t have wished for better, all the food was absolutely flawless. Waiters, bar staff and chefs absolutely outstanding 👍🏻! I had cote de Boeuf - partner had beef burger side Mac and cheese. The Cote de boeuf was absolutely sensational melt in the mouth meat. Burger - perfect posh burger, the Mac and cheese is the best I’ve had yet!

Fantastic staff and Fantastic food, very friendly. Would highly recommend

Lovely breakfast and very friendly staff. Highly recommended

Attended the opening of their new restaurant The Angry Cow @ The Fleece restaurant and the food was delicious. The customer service was brilliant and the staff were really friendly. There are a variety of options on the menu that cater for all different tastes. Very good value for money and a wide variety of wines to choose from. The owners Penny and Ade and manager Erik go out of their way to make you feel very welcome. We will defiantly be back! Thank you so much.

Excellent food and really good value. The staff are amazing and nothing is too much trouble. We will be back for more and Rump steak is something I would highly recommend.

Amazing quality of food, perfect atmosphere and top quality friendly staff, couldn’t ask for more on a night out for dinner and drinks. A must visit!!!

The starters were sooooo good and the main course steaks were the best taste and quality we had ever enjoyed,

Booked online for the Angry Cow night, there was some confusion over the booking when we arrived but the staff made sure we were tabled. Food brilliant, staff really good (again) and the atmosphere was vibrant. Looking forward to the next visit.

Ok, so... We took our 2 teenage bottomless pits, to try the carvery. The food was absolutely amazing, with a massive amount of meat on each plate, and as much veg as you wanted. THREE of us were beaten back by the food and were unable to finish, and I personally now have an actual food baby!!! This is going to be a regular thing, and I can't recommend highly enough

Called in for a Sunday carvery , the rare roast beef was amazing, tender and pink . Very good selection of vegetables all cooked perfect. The service was very good and the landlady spent time having a chat about the new menu on Friday and...

Went for a Sunday carvery, the roast sirloin was so tender and cooked perfect nice and pink , they also had well done as well , leg of lamb wast fatty but the skin was nice and crisp. The Yorkshire puddings was light and fluffy. Very good selection of vegetables and nice thick gravy. Service was on point and the landlady had time to explain about the new menu for Fridays and Saturdays. We will call again during the week , if the standards are that high in a Sunday during the eeek will be very good. 5* for everything.

My husband and I went along for the French fine dining evening last night and it didn’t disappoint. Frogs legs and escargot as an amuse bouche. First time trying both and we both actually enjoyed both. I had salmon tartare for my starter and it...

Great local pub with friendly staff and customers, reasonable drinks prices with decent variety.

Excellent food and service - Mancini is a magician in the kitchen and a legendary chef.

Excellent drink selection and Nige Mancini is the top chef cooking up Mafia style cuisine.

Had a lovely meal with my friend yesterday, staff were very good, will definitely be back 😊

Lovely pub with great staff and amazing food!! Visited with my Sheila can’t wait to visit again.

It's ok on a Saturday night for music and decent atmosphere. They're trying hard.

Just popped in with our dog for some lunch. I ordered sundried tomato and houlumi chabatta and my husband ordered BLT. We were very impressed with the food! It was really really nice and presented really well. Will be returning!

Brilliant pub! Fantastic ales, great food, wonderful friendly atmosphere and good live sports. Probably the best pub in Northallerton

Fantastic pub, fantastic food. Staff lovely, both dogs and children welcome, and both fussed over! Genuinely great place :)

Another beautiful pub in Northallerton

Having multiple allergies I was unable to eat anything but the rest of the family was ok. Three separate bar staff said I was ok to sit with them. Then the bill was presented and we were charged £10.95 for me when I didn't eat...

Lots of choices of beers and larger s well kept and served

Whiled away an hour or two over the years, even eaten occasionally ... The new bods and Thier Fine Dining Nights have properly blown out of the water.

Went to see the Bootleggers, brilliant as always, well done fleece for securing there services

all carvery food was cold and no taste worst gravy ever had friends waited one hour for 1x soup 1xfish and chips 1x curry fish was size of a fish finger and they forgot poppadoms for curry we at to wait for vegetables they ran...

Just had the pop up fine dining experience and it was a brilliant and well cooked menu, lovely atmosphere with a great singer and very kind and attentive staff. This was a place that feels like everyone working there cares about what they do. Very fairly priced and will definitely be coming back again! Thank you.

Very friendly atmosphere and great food.

Excellent pale ale and warm pork scratchings

The pub is deceptive, meals from 12:00 and service of good coffee before hand. Whilst this is an aged property it is certainly not an old boys pub. One would notice the younger client and with well behaved dogs allowed. Service was quick and accurate...

Great pub, staff are friendly and a lovely welcoming atmosphere

Popped in on Sunday because I was at a loose end and fancied a pint. Stayed as the carvery looked great. The rare roast beef was the finest I’ve had in a pub… hands down. The chef was helpful at the carvery and was genuinely...

Ate lunch here yesterday with my partner, his mum and my dog. They were able to accomodate us without a reservation (because we'd just left The Golden Lion where the service was terrible, but that's a different review...). There was ample seating and space for all of us--dog included--to spread out. Lunch was great (fish pie, fish and chips, crumble, chocolate lava cake) and the two guys who were working were just really really nice. I also got to cuddle a puppy, so that was an added bonus. Have been here before just for drinks but I think this will be our regular when we're in Northallerton.

I’ve read quite a few good reviews about the food here, and last night we finally made a visit here and from walking through there doors until leaving we had a 10 out of 10 experience the staff were so welcoming, attentive to our needs,...

Fabulous place for food and an amazing atmosphere every time I have been in. Live music 🎶 is fantastic on a Saturday night and lovley friendly bar staff that can not do enough for you.

Had great Valentines meal here, very fancy. Would eat here again xx

This place is better than its current 4 stars. The food is really really good, the staff are friendly and the atmosphere is great. What more could you ask for?

Really really good food at great prices. Friendly staff a roaring fire and nice atmosphere...

Thoroughly enjoyed a blt and chips ,service very good and very dog friendly

Just been for lunch and was delicious. Had the hot beef sandwich and the meat was tender and tasty. Portion size was very good and staff really helpful

Haven't been in the fleece for ages - but a friend recommended it. Came here for a few pints first of all and the beer was really good - they had a decent selection on too. So we came on a Saturday for an evening...

On Sunday 22nd of January i went with my family to the Fleece, upon arrival we got a warm welcome from the bar staff, as well as amazing conversation from a young lady with black hair and glasses, she put us in her best interest...

Would have been 5 star but owners wife/girlfriend was not nice . Her and manager where having tapas tried to have a look to see what was nice . And all I got was bad looks .ended up Ian the Potteing shed

Great service food lovely really nice pub reasonably priced too

We went at 2.00pm for the Sunday Carvery. We were a bit disappointed as there was only beef and ham left no pork. Some veg dishes were empty and it was a bit cold. Maybe would need to go earlier if we go again.

Had lovely carvery with our lovely friends who live in Dalton and took us here for lunch. Meat selection was hood and plenty of veg and gravy. Yorkshires were burnt to a crisp, but everything was delicious x

Delicious sandwiches and proper hand cooked chips, lovely open fire, friendly staff, what's not to like 😁
