The Fleece

Went to this pub as just out for the day on a bank holiday weekend. Did think that most places will be fully booked, however we thought we would try our luck after a little googling this pub was highly recommended. Walked in, ordered a couple pints , the pub looked cozy.. I asked at the bar if we could order food as my nephew was really hungry, the tall guy with the black hair and glasses asked we had booked, I said no we haven't, so he told us we have to sit outside and it would be an hour wait for food, I said that's fine. However there was quite a few empty tables inside, none of which said reserved, so we decided to sit inside, the table opposite was having a roast but the menu they gave us didn't have the roasts on.. So when the waitress (young girl) finished serving, we asked her if we could order a roast, she said you can only have that inside and not outside, she said she will check for us.. The young girl told us that we could have roasts but not beef as there was none left, I said that fine as we don't eat beef anyway.. She brought a different menu as it was different to the one that was given by the guy behind the bar.. We ordered 2 Chorizos, 1 cauliflower cheese for starters , 2 Chicken roasts and 2 pork roasts, 1 hunters chicken, 1 sticky toffee pudding and 2 raspberry tarts to share. Thanks to this wonderful waitress we had one of the best roasts I've ever had...the Chorizo sausages and cauliflower cheese were incredible too.... The food was incredible, atmosphere was great - we were there from 3pm to 5.30pm and nobody came and sat at, at least 5 of the tables whilst we were there inside... 10/10 for the young waitress who made an effort to check, 2/10 for the guy with the glasses behind the bar who told us we had to sit outside and gave us a different menu. Be consistent in your service. I would have given 5/5 for service too if it was just the girl that served us. (forgot to take pics of the chorizo and cauliflower cheese as they were really good)

I’ve just come back from a LUSH meal at The Fleece. Start to finish it couldn’t have been better. A friendly greeting at the bar and we were told we could choose our own table. Busier than expected, we chose the last window seat. There are beautiful views of the Wharfe. Rob and the young man on the bar were warm, attentive and personable. Not at all over bearing, simply great Yorkshire customer service. The menu had a good range of lighter dishes and Vegan, veggies and GF options, but we opted for some serious winter warming fodder. Despite a large table ordering the same time as us service was quick. Our starter and mains were superb. To start we had halloumi fries and baked chorizo with crusty bread, absolutely delicious. The halloumi was so crispy but tender and unsqueeky. The chorizo was so sweet and melted in the mouth. For mains, I had the belly pork stew in a dark, rich, sweet chilli sauce, huge fluffy hand cut chips. So much meat! It met my need for some satisfying, comfort food. My partner had sirloin steak and chips, and upgraded it with fried onion, salad garnish and pepper corn sauce. It came on an impressive rectangular plate. It was an impressive sight, the quality and freshness was incredible. The steak was cooked to perfection with well balanced flavours. To top it all there was a great choice of draught ales. We were too full for desert, but the puddings we saw coming out of the kitchen made us regret not leaving room! £68 including drinks was great value. It’s so nice to find a spot with such warm welcome, great service and amazing food. We’ll be back again soon

Me and my family dined in The Fleece in Otley. I have to say it was amazing food. They are dog friendly which is a bonus. I had the BBQ cheese, bacon chicken fillet burger with fries and the rest of my family had a Sunday lunch. The staff were friendly, polite and great customer service was given. I would recommend The Fleece anytime.
