My husband and I went for dinner one Friday evening. We hasn't booked and were seated in the old part of the pub. It was quite busy but we thought where we had been seated was a bit dull which was a shame as it was a beautiful spring evening outside. We asked to move into the function room area... More

Not very impressed. Small portions and very expensive for what we got. New dining area lacks atmosphere. Its a bit like being in an airport lounge. The service was not speedy and was not very professional. There are certainly much better pubs locally for sunday lunch.

I do find it hard to understand some of the negative reviews on here, such as the place being lacking in character. This pub/restaurant has recently undergone extensive renovation resulting in a modern, bright and comfortable establishment which still retains some of its olde worlde charm. We visited yesterday for Sunday lunch - 4 of us - and we weren't... More

Having watched as The Fleece has been done up we decided to book for Sunday lunch today with high hopes. The dining room to the right of the entrance was very welcoming. Unfortunately roast pork with crackling came without crackling. When prompted a side plate with a pale piece of "crackling" was brought out. It must have been the skin... More

We had lunch at the Fleece last week. It was re-opened about 5 months ago after a complete refurbishment. The decor is now contemporary meets country pub. Lots of inside space and eventually (coming soon) a cocktail bar upstairs. Outside there is a huge roof terrace/decking area. We had a sharing platter to start with - great - meal in... More

First time we had eaten here since the refurbishment and were not disappointed.One or two reviews have commented on the staff but we found them to be very friendly and efficient.I always try to be friendly and courteous to waiting staff and not treat them like second class citizens like some diners do. The food was very good and the... More

I have to agree with Ian B - totally characterless. The dining room was noisy and felt like a canteen. The staff, whilst pleasant enough, didn't seem to know how to 'wait' on us. Drinks were late despite having reminded a couple of waitresses - one excuse was that maybe they were changing a barrel, and yet the order was... More

We've eaten here several times in the past before the recent refurbishment, when the pub had great character. It had a lovely atmosphere with exposed stone, beams and open fires. The food and beer were good too. We booked a table and were looking forward to the same experience in the new look Fleece. Unfortunately, from the moment we walked... More

Lovely room, which slept 4 which meant our daughter didn't have to sleep in a room on her own. VERY delicious breakfast - Eggs Royale. One or two things would have improved our stay - a blind on the velux window over the mezzanine floor, clean cups for morning tea in our room on second morning and enough cups for... More
