About This Pub
Ah, the Golden Fleece – it's one of those pubs that just knows how to pull in a crowd and keep things lively, isn't it? From the glowing feedback, the staff really shine through; they're efficient and go the extra mile to make sure you're well looked after, especially during those bottomless brunches where drinks keep coming and the food's spot on for a proper good time. There's a great buzz with all the craft beers, cocktails, and events like live sport or sunny days in the beer garden – it's perfect for catching up with mates over a laugh. On the downside, though, it's not without its flaws; some have mentioned the noise carrying on late into the night, which could be a nuisance if you live close by or prefer something a tad more subdued. Overall, it's a solid choice for a fun night out, but just keep in mind it might be more energetic than peaceful – still, I'd say it's worth popping in for the positives!

We had a bottomless brunch on 14/06. We were served by Daisy, she was really helpful, very efficient with ordering drinks and made the experience very pleasant! We’d definitely return for another bottomless brunch! Thanks guys!
Does profit matter more than people’s right to live and rest in peace?
I live directly across the street from The Golden Fleece and for almost a year, I’ve endured intolerable noise — loud music, screaming, shouting — often lasting deep into the night. It’s not occasional; it’s systemic.
This is not about one pub. It’s about a disturbing trend where business interests seem to outweigh human rights — and where local authorities turn a blind eye to the basic well-being of residents. Why is the comfort of paying customers more important than the health of the people who live here every single day?
The Golden Fleece may be profitable, but it is doing so at the expense of the surrounding community’s mental health and quality of life. This is not sustainable, and it is not fair.
Living in the city shouldn’t mean losing your right to peace.
I urge Chelmsford City Council to take real action before the streets become nothing more than playgrounds for noise and profit.
Came for bottomless brunch and had the best time thank you to Daisy our server she was the best so attentive and definitely will be come back
Best bottomless brunch I've been too. Drinks were constantly flowing non stop. Once one drink was delivered the order for the next one was taken. There was 30 of us as well so they had their work cut out!
Amazing service from Daisy and Leonie. Highly recommend!
