The Fleece

We came here the first time back in 2022. It was a place chosen by our friends for a meet, somewhere in the middle, between our homes. It was good back then and is still good now. This was a great find. The food is very good and the location is simply delightful. There are good gluten-free options on the menu, although they can't guarantee 100%... but we had no issues. The kids had a burger and a mac and cheese. We had roast beef, and because we couldn't have the Yorkshire pudding, they gave us extra vegetables. Needless to say, it was filling. The roast beef was very good.

Had a meal here last night dressed crab and fries with rocket garnish. Crab was lovely. Couldn't eat the fries they were awful (all bitty and hollow, greasy. Told the waiter when he collected the plate nothing was done. Shame as all my friends meals look really nice.

We had high expectations of The Fleece as a base for our Silverstone weekend … we weren’t disappointed. Highlights? Sam and the team couldn’t be more helpful and the food … wow. Breakfast and dinner were superb and highly recommended if you’re tempted to eat elsewhere. |Although the rooms are in need of updating, the location and cleanliness outweigh this. |Well done guys!

We’ve stayed at The Fleece last Sunday for a night. Its central location gives easy access to a wide variety of restaurants and pubs. Our room overlooking the green was lovely and quiet. Friendly staff, comfy rooms, a cosy bar and great breakfast. We’re already planning our next stay there!

I went to the fleece for my 50th birthday, we had tapas. The selection was amazing. The staff were very welcoming and polite.they were friendly and made sure we had what we wanted all evening.

It's a lovely place inside and the food is spot on. I got the steak and it was insanely flavourfull and also very tender but the only bad part was we only had to wait about an hour for our food,I don't know if it's because it was packed when we went or something else but Ive been twice and both times it was about an hour but apart from that it was a 5 star

Great food, great service and a great nights sleep. Perfect! ||Sam met us when we arrived, he’s a ray of sunshine. Made us feel very welcome. ||Cocktails buy one and get one on them from 5 to 7. They started our night off, they were delicious and great value for money. We both had pie and mash, 2 meals for £25. They were delicious too. ||Finn tried to sort our tv internet problem but couldn’t resolve it. Straight away he was apologetic. He offered us breakfast in the morning to make up for it. Breakfast was delicious too. ||We are already looking to come back soon.

Hotel located on the village/town green and we arrived with the hotel bathed in evening sunshine. Great atmosphere at the hotel. Very friendly and efficient staff. Evening meal was good quality and good menu choice. Breakfasts were similar standard and good amounts. Room was spacious overlooking the Green and bed and pillows were very comfortable. A good night's sleep. Hotel in a good location for striking out to Oxford to the east and The Cotswolds in the west. I'd recommend to anyone who is looking for an unpretentious hotel in that area.

The place is popular and festive. The appetizer was interesting with sweet sauce to go with terrine. The main focus on the duck with lots of mashed potatoes. The cheese dessert offers various flavors. The host was friendly and provided helpful suggestions.

Enjoyed the lamb chops with potatoes. Pretty tasty. Pricing was ok and portions seemed about right size. Friendly service but a bit slow, although I think that's more of a cultural pace for the region. Overall - good.

The Fleece likes think of itself as Witney's premier eating establishment, and indeed it does have a lot to offer... The food is thoughtful, tasty and well delivered. Is it anything extraordinary though? Well no, not really. The attitude in the Fleece borders on pretentious, but you kind of get the feeling this is the reason locals love it so much - It is a little bit of snobbery and exclusiveness in a town where such attributes are few and far between. As a result, it tends to be fairly hard to get a table in the evening, especially if you are just a walk in. Seating also feels a little overcrowded and not particularly well organised. The Fleece is best visited on a sunny afternoon for a glass of wine or two, or on a colder day- a nice cup of coffee, and a selection of nibbles from the deli board.

Every time I have been to the fleece service has been good,like others have said getting a walk in table can be a pain,so always worth booking in advance. Food is lovely and service good. As a mum I often feel a bit out of place going in the day for a nice quiet coffee,with people on their computers giving me funny looks:-( Even though my daughter is well behaved:-(
