Nearby activities: Lots to see and do in and around Witney
Safety: Some steps to negotiate
Food & drinks: Brilliant and not too expensive
Noteworthy details: Lovely old hotel with some stunning features

Never had a potion of mussels on a plate before. Not much sauce

Lovely spot for a coffee over looking the green. And you get smarties!

Lovely service and good meal

It was ok, the food was nice, nothing notably exceptional. Service was good, if not a little rigid.
Nice place to go, cost didn't fit the experience.

We had a meal here for a family birthday party. The private room we had was nice, clean and ideal for a private party. The food was very nice, as mentioned by all. Overall, the experience was good. However, it was a shame that we received a phone call after we left to say that roughly £45 was still owed, although we had paid a large amount up front days before which covered 90% of the people attending. This meant that only 2 couples were left to pay their bill at the end of the meal, which they paid happily. When we asked what the £45 was for, so we could work out the issue/who hadn't paid, we were told a manager would contact us to explain this. A day or so later we were then told it was roughly £25 owed. We again, said we are happy to pay if it is something we have missed but we would like to know what the £25 was for as we paid for drinks at the bar as we ordered on the day, therefore, it couldn't be drinks. We were told this information could not be given to us. As explained to the Fleece we are more than happy to pay money if there has been a mistake our end, but to be told they cannot divulge what the money was for, is poor. Furthermore, a waitress spilled gravy over one of our party, dropped several glasses that smashed, didn't light the candles on the birthday cake, so we did and then she dropped several plates of cutlery also. We understand that accidents happen and overall the waitress in question was very friendly. A family member was also met with quite a rude member of staff, when she said she was not happy to pay the service charge, taken the above into account, she felt intimidated so then agreed to pay it. We have now paid the £25 owed out of common decency but we feel its a shame that it could not be relayed to us what the £25 was for and we do find it odd that the total had changed in the space of a day, albeit a cheaper price. It is a shame that this happened as it has put a negative spin on what was overall a nice experience.

Lovely weekend stay at the hotel. We had dinner downstairs in the restaurant both nights and it was wonderful food both times with great service. Hotel room was comfortable, warm and clean. Would have been nice to have a mini fridge but enjoyed the tea and biscuits in the room for us. Our room was looking out on the green and I was concerned about noise but it was very quiet at night and we slept well.

Just had a lunch at the fleece myself and my husband, I had chicken, husband had haddock and chips, my chicken schnitzel was extremely dry and tasteless and hubby?s haddock was over cooked. Our son had bought us a voucher for Xmas. Don?t think we will be returning !!!

Food & drinks: So disappointed at our second visit to the Fleece, ordered just two mains on a Saturday lunchtime and both came out really cold so we sent them back.
They came out again about 20 minutes later still barely warm, they were the original meals as my burger had a bite out of it as did my daughter?s chips. Her fish and chips has clearly been in a microwave and now not only cold but soggy too.
We couldn?t get the waitress's attention as they were clearly short staffed and she was trying her best to serve many tables so we just gave up and ate it.
We were given our drinks free but I?m afraid that didn?t compensate for really poor meals.
The staff were so lovely and our waitress tried her best to help but we won?t be returning, the cost of living is too high to throw money away like this, it?s a shame as this pub was lovely when it first opened.

Walkability: Based on the main green in Witney with easy parking nearby.
Food & drinks: We visited the Fleece for a family dinner after a day out in the area. Very nice staff, food was delicious, particularly the terrine starter.
