"“We really need to check this place...” and we are so glad we made it! extraordinary eating in a relaxing atmosphere. my wife had discovered the golden fleece when we visited the a street in direction leeds a series of times and I had remembered that I visited many, many months before and after him, but not overly impressed. this return, however, gave much better results and I suspect that we are going back much earlier than before, the visit was so much enjoyed. we have booked for a lunch table for three (a solemn eating for my vater birthday, which was opened as well as the doors and this proved to be the best decision for the venue (the golden fleece can not only be called pub, was very busy with a Sunday lunch group that knew exactly how good the fare was and my gods eat it! I went for the wonderful and delicately drawn pig bhaji/black pudding balls starter, but had to try out the prawnography prawn cocktail, partly because of the freky title, but also because of the description of "the best garnish cocktail in the world ever!” now, I will be the judge of it, many thanks! and, yes, I think they are right! a combination of shredded, fresh and cocktail puwn, all wonderfully fresh and tasty, paired with fresh crispy salad, strikingly presented and a lot of it! the teig was a special way out – very light and tasty – but the whole thing was good to pay the extra starter price. the prawn cocktail was actually part of the Sunday menu deal, making it an even better appealing option. my main course consisted of the bark and gammonbread dinner – other meats are available, but if it melted and tasted like the beef/gammon did, I would like to know who their source of meat is, as it was really the next level, I hardly needed a knife to cut it. the veg was honey glazed, again beautifully prepared, and the other meal times ordered by our party were equally enjoyed. forget about compliments to the chef, I wanted to go and buy the man a pint or two! combine this with a warm and relaxed old style setting and incredibly attentive and positive staff, and they have the production of a visit that comes in our memories for many months. visit the golden fleece to make yourself, they will not be disappointed."

"We ate here this evening whilst staying in the hotel. When we went to book a table in the restaurant (they don’t take walk-ins even for hotel guests) we were informed that there were no tables for another two hours. As we are frequent travellers and had only booked the hotel a few hours earlier I decided to book, what a mistake I made; even during the process of creating the booking the gentleman walked away to fix a card machine for a colleague. With a one year old baby this was less than ideal but we happily went back at 8pm. We were then made to stand in a queue for another 10 minutes before we were seated. They had forgotten the requested highchair so we reminded the gentleman and he said he’d go and get it. Another 20 minutes later our very helpful waitress arrived to take our drinks order and apologised profusely when we pointed out the missing highchair. Generally the service across the restaurant was poor with a clear lack of management or communication. I’d assume something went really wrong with their service this evening as I don’t remember seeing such poor service for many years. The food was ok when it arrived and the waitress seemed to work hard to make up for the problems we had seen early on. Overall service was 1/5 but through no fault of our hard working waitress. Food quality 3/5 average for a Doubletree. Value for money 1/5 they were charging £32.95 for a steak and £4.50 for a Coke! Almost tourist trap prices, and that’s from somebody who stays in Hilton brand properties several times per month. I’ll review the hotel separately upon checkout and I’ll update Flyertalk also but the poor F&B service has unfortunately let the whole hotel down."
