   Arranged for our wedding anniversary. The food was excellent, the service first class. Would recommend to anyone who could afford the prices.

   Good quality food, lovely atmosphere. For the price some of the dishes needed tweaking to a better standard. E.g the brulee had dried apricots on the top, they should have been soaked in grand marnier and put underneath the custard.

   Food is good, reasonably priced. Waiting staff lovely but you wait a while for food to arrive, ours was around 25 minutes between each of courses. Location is lovely, outside terrace beautiful if its a sunny day.

    First of all, the waitress was fantastic very attentive. However, in total, we were there for almost 3 hours. It took 40 mins to get our starters (soup and pate), then a further 50 mins for the main (taken from the set menu). It was Father's day, so you would expect some wait, but surely not that long. The starters were fine. My kids were so upset with their main, advertised as pizza and fries. They were very disappointed with their slice of ciabatta bread with tomato sauce and a sprinkling of cheese (not what kids would expect when ordering a pizza), they didn't eat it. Our Sunday lunches were OK, lamb was nice , beef was tough and very little veg, roast potatoes were hard. Deserts were fine. The manager did refund us for the "pizza" , but even with that removed , it was not value for money due to the food quality and the long wait. We would not return.

    Menu very limited, service very poor no attention to detail. Maybe just a bad night but I think menu needs to decide whether it’s ‘pub food’ or trying to go ‘gastro’ but not enough quality to do both.

    Impromptu date, dinner, bed and breakfast. It was superb. From the moment we walked in the staff were friendly and helpful, Emma checked us in to the bridal suite, she seemed happy and was helpful. The layout is lovely, both rustic and shabby chic. Particular care has been taken on the en-suite presentation. Downstairs at dinner, the lite bites arrived after the starters but it wasn’t a problem as we asked for a some time before the main course. All the food was beautifully presented and hot. Dessert didn’t disappoint either. The pub was full, a party was taking place that ended finally at 2 am. I didn’t hear a thing after going to bed, but my partner could. Breakfast and the checkout process with Amanda was also great, she was chatty and friendly too. Would definitely recommend and would go back at least once or twice a year.

    Having seen the menu on line it seemed well varied. On arrival it wasn't at all as advertised.While I appreciate menus change I would have expected a better choice than eg. Scallops with belly pork!!? As a very big fish eater and also live in Spain with there amazing menu's and variety, I was hugely disappointed in the Fleece and overly expensive for the meagre menu on offer. I have always fancied eating here, but was sooo dissolutioned that we walked out...the staff were lovely and she said others had walked out also......I have been a restauranteur myself and I would say the chef's need to listen to their audience and come down off their pedestal a little .....serving what I read about Sunday lunches is very different to good cuisine, so chefs need to cater for the type of establishment they run. May I suggest they visit the Rose and Crown at Thurstonland on a Friday fish night and see how it's done and at a very fair price!

    Disappointed with my Sunday roast. Vegetables,2 small slices of carrot 2 mongtue, beef was ordered pink disappointingly was not and was cut possibly by a bacon slicer did not look hand carved. The meal arrived within a couple of minutes after starters as if we needed to eat up and leave!!

    We have been visiting The Fleece for ten years because we have been highly delighted with the menu choices. the very professional staff and overall ambience. However, recently the menu has not met our requirements which is very disappointing, as we wanted to take some friends when they come to stay with us! But consequently we are going elsewhere. Who wants to see ‘locally shot duck’ on the menu? I do enjoy duck with orange sauce!!!! We have been to The Fleece three times in the last two months, to give it another chance, as we did really want to take our friends there but sadly the food, particularly the main courses were not inspiring. The picture of the meat pie with one carrot does not persuade me to choose that for my meal. If we want fish and chips we can go to The Catch in West Vale. We have in previous years always recommended The Fleece to friends, it was our go to restaurant for lunch, evening meal and Sunday’s roast. We took family there for our son’s 21st! Our son’s particularly enjoyed the steak night on a Thursday!

    Was recommended to visit the fleece inn by a family member when asking around for a spot to take my partner for a “date night” and to be honest I’m glad I was recommended here! Food was delish and service was also great! Thank you for a great first experience and will be back in the future!

    Our table was ready in advance of our arrival. Arrived 15 minutes early and was led straight to our table. We ordered our food, which was very well presented. Unfortunately my wife took ill and we had to leave having only eaten the starter. I must state it wasn't the food that made her poorly. We would definitely return to complete our experience.

    I think you’ve gone far too far with the menu, nobody out of 8 of us thought the menu sounded that great. Too much stupid stuff rather than nice sounding combinations. One lady that served us and took drinks orders was lovely, really smiling really helpful a credit to you. However, another young lady with ginger hair was shocking. Basically just stuck the food on the table and told us to share it out … really bad service!!!! The food tasted really good when it came but there was nothing really healthy on the menu

    Disappointing- we were really looking forward to going for a meal at The Fleece as we haven’t been since Covid. Everything about our experience was disappointing, the staff didn’t try to make any apologies for the food or service. We were feed if waiting for someone to take our dessert order (20mins) so decided to leave and We had to go look for a member of staff in order to pay our bill! We will not be returning.

    Went to the Fleece for Sunday Lunch this weekend on a family visit to Yorkshire. Having previously been for lunch a few weeks ago and being blown away by the food. Sadly this time was a pale reflection of the last time. We were seated in the function room rather than the restaurant and despite the amazing views the food, ambience and service were really not great. My Mu had the same dish as last time and what she got this time was a pale reflection of last time and what had been one of the nicest vegan dishes we had tried in a while was absolutely awful. A shame as we thought we had found a new go-to but will think twice before going again.
