Quinno _ left this review about The Golden Fleece
Basic but tidy local. A tiny L shaped interior with a wooden floor and a rustic feel with pea green paintwork, pine panelling, cream and purple wallpaper. Two cask at the bar; Wye Valley Butty Bach (NBSS 3) and Fixed Wheel, with a few off-beat kegs. Levellers on the stereo (yes, this is Stroud) with a friendly bearded barman in situ. Fairly quiet on mid-Sunday afternoon, as was much of town to be fair – some of the pubs didn’t even bother opening. I’d likely pop back in again next time. 6.5

The Golden Fleece is currently making use of its secluded suntrap of a garden hidden away at the rear. On initially entering, we thought this backstreet pub was dead. But we were soon directed through to the busy garden, where table service was in operation.
Stroud Budding & Uley Pig's Ear were the 2 real ales on offer.

Open in Jan 2019 and obviously had an impressive internal make over inside. Very smart decoration but nothing too ostentatious.
Lively on a Sunday night. One real ale on - Tom Long from Stroud Brewery - perfect condition.
An enjoyable visit.

The pub is a small single L-shaped room with a stone floor to the main area and carpeted in the recess of the L. Music themed, there are various instruments on the walls including a trombone and an accordian, photos of jazz musicians, and there is a piano against the front wall. Regular live music, mainly jazz and blues but with occasional acoustic sets. The small bar has hops wound around the gantry, and has four handpumps, three on last night serving Bath Ales Gem, Otter Ale and Stroud Brewery Tom Long. The other was reversed but looked to be another Stroud brew. Seating is traditional and includes a wooden bench window seat in one corner.
Apart from the musical memorabilia, decor also includes a couple of large mounted papier mache animal heads and some old illustrated plates of small animals.
There is a pleasant garden to the rear that catches the sun and has a thriving grape vine growing.
An enjoyable spot and a friendly welcome here.
