Il VELLO Doro @the Golden Fleece

Every year, our Bowls Club organizes a dinner at a venue to close the season. In 2025, we chose 'Il Vello d'Oro @ The Golden Fleece'. When we arrived, we were immediately greeted by a beautiful girl named Magda. She charmed us at first sight. Her hospitality and professional manner made us feel great, even on this rainy and gloomy day. The food was very tasty and exquisite, and we were happy we returned for a second time, as we got exactly what we hoped for.

Formerly known as The Golden Fleece the establishment is recently on the Cask Marque Ale Trail. It serves only one ale, but it is kept in excellent condition. Much refurbishment and extension, as well as a name change, has been made by the new owners who are clearly aiming more towards foodie clientele.

Wow, the best Sunday roast in ages! The red cabbage is just yummy. Seven difference vegetables plus potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, and the most perfectly cooked belly pork, with tasty rich gravy. Delicious meal. Just popped in for dinner again, belly pork was awesome 👌

Always really love atmosphere and great quality food. Pizzas are great, recommend the whitebait which are always really delicious and well prepared. Plenty of choices and flavours, really good sea food selection.

Our first visit here but certainly won't be our last. We stopped by on the off chance they may have a table for an early dinner with our 2 children. We were greeted with a friendly welcome and excellent service throughout. The children's options were great with pizza, pasta and even chicken nuggets and chips on the menu. All very reasonably priced. Myself and my husband both had pasta which was delicious. We look forward to coming back again soon.

We wanted somewhere local to celebrate my mum’s 70th Birthday that would be big enough to take around 30 guests. Ali and the team were amazingly accommodating, nothing was too much trouble for them. The food, a selection of the finest antipasti, followed by pizzas, was fresh and delicious and was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. Thank you Ali and all of your staff for helping to make it such a wonderful occasion.

Delicious meals, had starters, mains, puddings. Not a single complaint. Service was fantastic, very friendly and helpful, also surprisingly quick. Kids menu OK, good drinks selection, very crisp pint of peroni 👌. Will definitely return 👏👍

Having driven past numerous times, we decided to check this place out as a change from the usual pub food...been there twice in 2 weeks. A great restaurant, fantastic staff and the food is amazing. This is now my new go-to for eating out. Photo looks a bit tricky as I removed a person.
