    A welcome addition to the Wells eating out scene, sitting nicely standard and price-wise between fine dining and usual pub food. A lot of imaginative marketing going on behind the scenes to sell tables mid-week in January and there were a good few customers. Service could have been quicker but there was only one member of staff dealing with food and bar so not her fault at all. Music was a bit intrusive and would have liked the option of booking a dog-free area ( perhaps that will change later in the season). Hopefully the pub will now have a long stay in the town after successive management changes.

    Totally overbooked for the amount of staff . The steak was fatty and chewy . It took over two hours for two courses and we left because there was no Sign of the desert coming
    The Golden FleeceResponded on 15 January 2025
    We apologies for your bad experience, due to the change of Management and being short staffed everything was overbooked and we didn't want to cancel people last minute, we hope you come back and give us another try
