The Fleece Inn is an old Farmhouse which is allegedly haunted by a couple of ghosts. I didn’t spot them during my recent Tuesday evening visit, but the pub was very busy, so it was easy to hide. The bar serves the main seating area at the rear and some standing room to the right. There are snugs located throughout, which isn’t surprising for a pub of this age. At the front of the pub is a pool table and dartboard which sit in front of an inglenook that has been converted into seating. I didn’t spot any televisions, but there was some music playing off the jukebox. Out the back is a large grass covered beer garden with picnic tables and children’s climbing apparatus.
A standard and premium keg range is available which includes a couple of Wingstone Press ciders, Warsteiner and four keg ales. I counted five hand pumps which were drawing Timothy Taylors Landlord, Wychwood Hobgoblin Gold and Jennings Bitter alongside JW Lees Cosmic Brew and Dragon Fire. There is also a cocktail menu. Food is available, the homemade pies are priced at £7 each and the traditional pub grub on the specials board suggested low prices.
There was a mixed crowd of all ages in attendance and everyone was in good spirits, except the barman who was a tad dismissive. I won’t let that detract from the pub though as this place is worth a visit.

This was the place to go and be seen years ago one of the first pubs with a disco had to be smart to get in well you had in most places in the late sixties and seventies but those days will never come back.
If you got a drink and was just under age you kept your mouth closed not be abusive with any body that looked at you not many people were in sad how things are now

Re-opened though rarely any cars in the car park. On two recent visits the only draught beer was Theakston's old Peculiar (a bit strong for the only beer on offer).
