The Golden Fleece in Kirklees

Came for Lunch today 2nd October for 3 of us. Have been here for drinks before and was impressed then. Today we opted for food as well off the early bird menu. Pumpkin Soup and Mackeral pate to start which were all perfectly presented and tasted wonderful and freshly made. The mains of Bangers and Mash , Steak and Fish and Chips were again beautifully presented and tasted divine. Service was excellent, relaxed informative and unobtrusive, served with a smile by the 2 guys on front of house. £22 for a 3 course meal is nothing when you are getting top end gastro food and service to match. We travelled from Huddersfield today. Well worth the journey and many more for a superb meal. Thank you very much for a fantastic meal today and we look forward to our next visit.

Excellent food and cosy atmosphere (sticky toffee not to be missed)! The staff were all very attentive and we will definitely be back again soon!

OK where do I begin I have been here in the last week 3 times because the food is amazing. I am writing this review because I had the Sunday lunch and the evening menu it was unbelievable really enjoyable. I have been here in the past and I don't know if they have new chef or new menu but it so nice from my previous experience. I had fillet steak and it was good quality the pepper sauce was so nice and the chips were so tasty. The mushroom starter I was still thinking about the next day 😄 so I went for Sunday lunch wow the beef was so good the roast potatoes on point just the right amount of vegetables delicious. Just all round really impressed and the chef deserve massive credit and the staff are really nice and friendly and right on my doorstep excellent. Thank you I will be back 😊

Loved our meal at the Golden Fleece. The menu is not vast, but I believe there is something for everyone! I ordered the halloumi wrap and was able to add an additional ingredient with no problem whatsoever. The waiting staff were friendly and polite. Service was fast and efficient, but we never felt rushed.

Second visit and menu had been updated. Family of 5 ordered mainly different dishes and everyone enjoyed. Staff were attentive but not overbearing. All enjoyed and would definitely return.

Absolutely Brilliant food,, hot, beautifully presented, tasted amazing. Atmosphere lovely, we live 100 mile away or we would definitely be visiting again.

Very nice, staff excellent. Always friendly and polite. Lite bite menu very good value for money. Lovely atmosphere and good surroundings.

Very disappointing experience, poor choice of beers, not well kept, two were "off" & had to ask for them to be changed, when they should never have been served. No apology from the staff member who lacked knowledge & personality. To add to the insult then charged £6 per pint. I won't be going back & can't recommend that anyone else does if the rest of the offerings are of a similar quality

Had the lamb Sunday roast whilst watching the England game on their huge outdoor tv. Great little outdoor area they have for the football Matches. Lamb dinner wasn’t cheap I think for £23 but the meat was lovely. Couple of small potatoes and not the biggest amount of veg. If they would bulk up the roast potatoes and veg that would be perfect

We visited the Golden Fleece as it was a central meeting place for us and some friends. Had a couple of drinks and the food. It was steak night so had to oblige. I had a 10 oz ribeye and it was cooked and presented beautifully. Also had obligatory onion rings which were home made and delicious. Definitely go back to try the rest of their fare.

Lovely pub,good atmosphere and just great all round. Staff are really good. Was even in the night before with 3 good mates sampling the Guinness. Food was great,we both had the Beef Dinner,cannot complain about it at all,spot on great presentation and very tasty. Had a great and very nice dessert too. Sticky toffee pudding & Apple pie. Again very tasty & presented well. Would recommend the place to anyone even tho it is just a little pricey. Thanks again for the lovely food.

We had an amazing Sunday dinner. Mike the manager made us feel really welcome and Lexi the young lady serving us was a credit to you. Nothing was too much trouble. The pigs cheek starter was awesome as were the mains and desserts. A warm friendly and welcoming establishment. Well worth a visit.

Brilliant lunch. Took Wife for birthday lunch . Excellent food Excellent presentation. Wife is coeliac and they had a good selection of options. Meal was superb and nice pint aswell

Celebrating my birthday. Really happy with the service and the food. Would recommend to anyone. Will be back again for sure.

Very small portions, two dry small prawns with a salad to start. Burger and fries for main, the burger was almost like a burger van burger, poor quality meat. Left feeling I could eat more.

Excellent quality food at very reasonable prices. Busy Saturday night and service was smooth and timely. Will return.

First time visit with my other half, brother in law and his partner for Sunday lunch. My sister lives nearby and had recommended The Golden Fleece to us so we drove the 30mins from Halifax to see what the fuss was about! In short, a very nice pub venue with a convivial atmosphere. Food and drink served by cheerful waiting staff arrived promptly and was of very good quality. We all agreed a return visit was in order and will be back in the new year.

This is the 4th time I've been, twice for lunch & twice for dinner & as always it was fabulous. Went last night as a couple & both of us chose from the festive menu, from which we were both spoilt for choice but we thought it was good that there was a choice of classics if there wasn't anything to tempt you on the festive menu. We honestly couldn't fault a thing about our evening...the food was amazing, presented beautifully & tasted wonderful, the staff were really pleasant & engaging & the place felt warm & cosy on a foul night, weather wise! Great atmosphere, great service & fabulous food!

Visited today for Sunday lunch. The Christmas menu was available. We chose a traditional beef slices, roasties, seasonal veg and Yorkshire puddings followed by dessert. The food was very tasty. Great, welcoming staff attended us throughout the meal. The restaurant has just put up christmas decorations, so atmosphere is very friendly and inviting. We were in at 1.00, and every table was filled so be sure to book early.

We decided to call here for Sunday lunch after visiting the local garden centre for Christmas decorations (we booked in advance). I won’t say much as there isn’t a need to say much beyond “fab-u-lous” . I had a started off Roasted Tomato Soup with Balsamic Vineger followed by sausage and mash. My better half skipped on the starter and had the beef dinner. Portions were generous and you could tell the quality of the ingredients used.

We went for Sunday lunch, when the food arrived it was luke warm, borderline cool & very uninspiring. The dessert was scoops of ice cream with raspberry sauce on, very ordinary. The standard of food has dropped remarkably since our previous visit & we will not be tempted to return anytime soon.

Superb food and drink at great prices as always. Excellent service from Eva who met all our needs and fulfilled some unusual requests ( thanks to obliging chef too)

I have to start by saying the food was just amazing. Lovely surroundings, pleasant and helpful staff. Cant wait to go back.

Excellent as always. Food and service very high quality. We regularly eat the fleece and will continue to do so. You will not be disappointed

the attention to detail, especially with regards to the use of products, the parsimonious reopening of raw materials, used expertly. the excellent cooking, the fusion, in the arancini with pork, with a Balkan touch.. wonderful.. thank you chef and staff all

A last minute decision to stop off here for lunch was one we certainly didn’t regret. Excellent staff who were polite, cheerful and friendly. We had 2 course light bite lunches and liked our choices. The food was all freshly cooked, well presented and tasty. Highly recommend.

Been to this great pub to eat a few times now. I cannot fault them in any way. The food is outstanding, beautiful presentation. As a coeliac the choices are plentiful. The only criticism is a lack of gluten free deserts, but I don't normally have one so no major issue for me

Came here for Sunday lunch and was delicious, staff attentive and service was quick. Will definitely return and will try the desserts next time

Lovely food, and never been disappointed with the quality of ingredients and service. An Early Bird menu would be nice though.

Food was a bit too much going on my plate Would have preferred to have more choices of simpler food

My partner and I visited on Wednesday for a long overdue lunch out. We arrived to a warm welcome and were swiftly seated in the dining area after being offered seats in the bar or dining area. Looking at both the light bites and the a la carte menu we decided to eat from the light bites menu. Both menu's offered a great selection of amazing sounding dishes and me and my partner both said "we'll have to come for an evening meal to take advantage of the a la carte menu" We both ordered starters and mains and proceeded to sit in acticipation of what we were going to be served. I can honestly say we weren't disappointed. Between us we had the lamb and mint kofta and the mushroom risotto followed by a haddock tilka masala and a flat iron steak with all the trimmings. We really enjoyed everything we ordered, the amount, the quality and flavour were second to none. We couldn't recommend this place highly enough and look forward to visiting again soon.

Amazing new tapas menu flavours were insane and our waitress mel went above and beyond for us ! one of the barmaids Daisy was also very thorough at helping us pick cocktails and helping us pair a wine to our meals, both girls were so helpful and made our visit well worth it !

A friend and I had afternoon tea today. The new menu was delicious there was lots of choice and so much of it! we couldn’t manage it all. The staff were amazing, they had set it up inside but were very accommodating to change it to outside as the weather was sunny. Nothing was too much trouble even brought extra cushions out and allowed us to swop Prosecco to 2 lots of coffees. Mike, Sarah and the team were great. Highly recommend. Looking forward to visiting again soon 😊

Arrived at 12:30 ordered by 12:40 … 12:45 asked to change order due to chef having difficulty cooking what’s on the menu ! So changed … (also please note the prices on the menu are a mystery … the number at the end is the price no pound £ sign ) Then got some free dough balls ( bread) for the “20 minute wait” for mains It took 10 minutes for the ” bread “ to arrive then another 15 mins for mains The food was very poor from presentation to mouth … didn’t enjoy any aspect of the meal . Needless to say it’s first and last time Should stick to pub grub!

I ordered sausage and mash and it clearly stated on the menu that it came with root vegetables and broccoli. When it arrived it was with cabbage ( I do not like cabbage ) When I mentioned this,the waitress said "we don't have broccoli" and...

We mixed the menus and ordered from both the main menu and the lite bite menu, I cannot believe how great value the lite bite menu is! The food was amazingly presented, beautiful and tasty! Lovely and relaxed atmosphere and great service! Thank you!

Great a la carte menu with reasonable prices. Quiet, traditional pub setting. Friendly, smiley waitress. A perfect evening out.

Beautiful food well presented full of different flavours and textures fabulous attentive waitress Ava well worth a visit 😀

As always the food and service were amazing!! We love the Al Carte menu 3 courses for £30 for the quality of food is fantastic. My only negative is I struggle to decide what to order!!

Went here for Sunday lunch while staying with friends. It didn't disappoint! It has a lovely ambience and the food is exceptionally good, cooked and presented really well. A cut above the traditional pub Sunday lunch!

Great food, terrific beers, excellent staff (special mention for Mike who answered my special request)

We are regulars here. Always excellent service and amazing food! Special mention to Dan our waiter. Great guy!

Everything was really delicious! Everything was like from a michelin-starred restaurant. Highly recommend! Such a beautiful and cozy place, very cute staff! Fully enjoyed 🥰

Dan is amazing, this is how service should be! A credit to the team. Can’t recommend enough. Food was amazing too

Amazing customer service as always by Dan who always makes us feel welcome Beautiful food! And great cocktails! Definitely recommend

Where do I start? Well , a cracking pint of Yorkshire Blonde filled the thirst bill. But what really set the ball rolling, was the very well presented King Prawns in veloute sauce. This wasn’t just pub food, it was classic West End restaurant quality....

After seeing a review online in relation to the new chef I decided to check out the menu online. The pictures made the food look great but the price of £27 for 2 courses or £30 for 3 sounded extremely reasonable. This was our first...

Where to begin, from the moment we entered we were greeted by the friendliest staff who have clearly been trained to an extremely high standard. Great wine menu to choose from and then the food arrived! Wow that kitchen team can cook! We had 3...

The food was inventive and extremely good. We never write reviews but felt we had to on this occasion as the food was so good

Visited with my partner and daughter for valentines evening. Totally blown away at the standard of the food. This is not your average pub grub, this is high end resturant cuisine and really good value. Looking forward to going back soon.

Fab large lunch. Couldn't fault our food and the waiter was friendly too. £75 with tip for 3 courses with a couple of wines. The pub itself is nice. Comfy seats not too close together. Great!!!

Went out for our Thursday date at my wife’s suggestion. Now have a better choice of ales, one light one amber - so off to a good start. Friendly welcome. Nice menu, at a reasonable price. All three courses were food at its best -...

I visited the Golden Fleece just before Christmas and enjoyed so much that I decided to go for my birthday, what a disappointment. The lunchtime menu main course was mostly Fish so we both ordered the only alternative Chicken. When it arrived I was served...

A JEWEL IN THE NILE. The food is amazing, the staff are great, friendly, attentive & professional. A local pub with a worldly attitude. Can't recommend them enough.

Mostly excellent, beef was a little tough and the rhubarb and ginger tart lacked ginger. Staff are lovely and an overall a great place to eat.

Excellent food as always with brilliant service Lots of non alcoholic beverages available too. Plenty of off road parking available.

Absolutely superb dining experience. Staff were extremely welcoming and friendly and let you take your time and the food was delicious and excellent value for money

Booked afternoon tea for myself and 2 daughters, had seen it on the photos and looked fabulous. When it arrived it looked great and a lot of it but can honestly say there was nothing nice on it. Everything was overcooked and very very dry...

This was our first time visiting the The Golden Fleece and it didn’t disappoint. The service was great, the food was presented perfectly and the quality was excellent. Great atmosphere and the prices were fair and reflective of the quality of the food.

I booked online. Cocktails are delicious and the food was fabulous. I had turkey with stuffing and it was the best turkey i have ever had. Roasties and gravy tasty and veg was lush. Only thing i didnt like was “cold” orange coloured puree on...
