Welcome to the Fleece Inn, Bretforton.
The Fleece Inn is the perfect rural retreat, the quintessential English country pub. Just a stone's throw from the beautiful Cotswolds and boasting roaring open fires for the winter months, open garden and apple orchard for the summer sun and a friendly welcome all year round.
With real ales and ciders aplenty this historical pub is a favourite with Real Ale lovers, and the welcoming atmosphere and good food attract visitors from all over the world.
Seasonal and local ingredients are prized, including our famous Asparagus menu in Spring.

Reservable tables are in the pub (standard) or undercover in our orchard (outdoor). There are lots of orchard picnic tables that are not reserved in advance, available for eating and drinking in the sunshine! Dogs are welcome throughout the pub & orchard.

Sunday Roast Lunch, Beef. Poorly presented. Gravy thin and tasteless. Beef too thin to cut. Vegetables sloppy and few of them. Yorkshire pudding burnt on the outside undercooked on the inside.

Lovely old pub with open fires and great ambience. Five of us shared a table to eat here on Friday and Saturday evening. We were part of a very large group all down for a musical weekend, so the Fleece staff were very busy. The staff were very pleasant and helpful, despite being under pressure. The food was piping hot and we all had decent-sized portions. No complaints, and we’ll be back again next year!

A nice lunch, great service, very smokey due to open fires belching smoke into the room and the pub was quite cold. Otherwise still a great little place.
