Atmospheric National Trust pub serving award-winning pies and solid roasts in a quirky historic setting; book ahead and expect occasional service and portion inconsistencies when busy.
The Fleece Inn delivers solid A-grade performance through exceptional food quality—particularly award-winning pies and sticky toffee pudding—paired with outstanding historic charm and National Trust character. However, quality variability during peak times, especially with roasts and service pacing, prevents grade A territory. This is a beloved community institution worth visiting for its character and reliable comfort food, though expect occasional lapses when busy.
One caveat: Portion and texture variability on Sunday roasts (hard roasties, small servings) mentioned by multiple diners
