The Fleece overlooks the expanse of Witney's beautiful Church Green. Since we took it over twenty years ago it has twice been voted one of the top twenty pubs in the UK. Loyally supported by the people of Witney we are one of the few places in town where you can sit outside on sunny days, eating, drinking and watching the world go by. We also have a private dining room for meetings or parties and 10 comfortable, characterful en suite bedrooms.
Services
The old proverb demands that we should eat breakfast like Kings (and Queens). We serve up the favourites and always prioritise quality produce - our eggs and bacon are free-range and our sausages are from Jimmy Butler's farm. Starting the day has never tasted so good. Our speciality coffee is Union Hand-roasted's Compaero blend of beans from small-scale co-operatives in Peru and Honduras.
Our King Rooms are full of character with large comfy beds, rain showers and 40 inch size TV. Most of our King rooms can be made up as twins and fit a zed bed. Book our rooms in the cottage and have you own floor with a neighbouring cosy room. We want you to feel as relaxed as possible in our pub. Safety has always been important to us, and now even more so than ever.

It was my daughters 21st bd meal on the 23/1 and I can honestly say we had a fabulous meal. It was quite possibly one of the easiest birthday transaction I have ever had. I would highly recommend The Fleece not just for its outstanding food, but also for the atmosphere and the lovely lovely staff.
Ty so so much

It was a expensive starter. I sat for a while looking at the specials..my order was taken eventually. I didn't know that I had ordered a starter. If staff spoke to me I struggled to hear them cos of my tinnitus and the background noise I wouldn't order it again cos the meat was so dense. The mustard mayonnaise and pickled veg were lovely but not enough

Fabulous atmosphere at this lovely gastro pub. Great vegan options and lots for vegetarian diets too. Pity no vegan pudding options otherwise a 5 star for sure. Dog friendly in the bar area and garden, but not the main restaurant. Good idea to call ahead and book a table in the bar if you have a dog as there are only a few tables. I spotted one group that had to go outside with their furry companion. Friendly table service to compliment a great menu.

Pit stop chill out. Sat outside overlooking the Green. Really nice.
Great service with upbeat and friendly staff.
I only had mini honey and mustard sausages and a side of hand-cut fries….. but this was not… your usual sausage and chips! Really Yum.
The menu was extensive…. and everyone’s food coming out looked fab……. so I look forward to returning to try more.
Great non-alcoholic Mojito too

First meal out in over a year, the Fleece by far exceeded our expectations. We had a table booked for Sunday lunch but preferred a different one than they had reserved, changing the table was no problem. Service was friendly, helpful and quick. The food was excellent, and despite us asking for quite a few changes and extras (2 fussy teenage eaters and one vegetarian) we were served with curtesy and patience and received exactly what we ordered. All 4 of us agreed the food was delicious without exception, which is a rare thing. Planning to return for Sunday lunch again with family who are going

Was on holiday nearby and ended up eating at this place once for dinner and once for breakfast, and was not disappointed. The dinner menu was quite expansive, as was their drinks menu. The breakfast menu also had several great veggie/vegan options. Outdoor seating is nice and cool underneath a large tree which provided shade. The inside seating area was also spacious and comfortable.

Came here with my family. The food was spot on. I was very impressed by the presentation and taste. So that’s a 3. Well done chef! The cheesecake was really good!
However, don’t read out the specials if you don’t actually have them. Drinks orders were incorrect as well as arriving late to the table. It came across our own fault by some of the staff members. A girl had spilt a drink by accident, but instead of dealing with the situation in a calm manner there were slamming glasses on the tables. That is not good customer service!! Service with a smile goes a long way. I work in the same industry
