The Fleece at Cirencester in Cotswold

Excellent service and food. Hake was beautifully cooked and Chicken supreme was extremely tasty. However the Nduja sausage made it too spicy for me, so I chose the hake. I was very happy with my choice. Green beans and chips were also delicious. We were too full for dessert. The atmosphere was very jolly.

Chefs Chicken and Gammon Pie of the day, wow amazing just amazing 5 stars 🌟

A really lovely experience. Such friendly and helpful staff and a super twin bedded room. We had a well behaved dog with us and were not given a tired and slightly smelly dog room as we have been given in the past. Food delicious. Would recommend!

The staff were so very charming and attentive. My friend and I had a super tastie Sunday lunch 😋 the plates were piled full, I had to take half home with me. I did manage to share a rum & rasin bread 'n' butter pudding delicious. Thank you to all staff, chefs etc for a wonderful visit. Until next time! Thank you....

Had a burger and fries bad meat because it was very dry ,they put a tiny bit of cheese.Good bun,fries were not crispy and were soggy added stuff that weren't mentioned on the menu and overpriced not fast good location and great staff didn't ask for allergies.

Lovely rooms and very generous and tasty breakfast! Nice and quaint hotel with pretty rooms, nice staff and terrific surroundings!

Amazing breakfast. Lovely staff

This is a superb place to go for food in Cirencester. I had the smoked Haddock Omlette, my partner had the ploughman's. Very good food nicely presented, service good and fair pricing. Will definitely be going back again

We went for dinner on good Friday. It was a lovely pub, great atmosphere and lovely staff. Shame the food isn't up to a good standard. Our mussels were too salty and our sausage and mash gravy was too sweet.

Great restaurant & pub, dog friendly & Great food + service. Relaxed environment yet on the main street

Good food, excellent beer and outstanding service

We popped in for a spot of lunch midweek without booking and managed to secure a table near the door. Staff were friendly and the food was about average. I had the fish goujons and my partner had ham, egg and chips. Despite there not being very much fish in the goujons, the ham being more like thick gammon and the eggs not being fully cooked on top, the meal was quite adequate. Oh, and when the gentleman waiter gave us our food, he asked if we wanted anything else. We both asked for ketchup but he didn’t return with any. I assume he must have forgotten.

We stayed here for two nights in what a wonderful hotel. The staff are so helpful, warm, and friendly. The food is amazing, especially the triple-cooked chips. Clean, tidy, and a great location as only 2 min walk to the main shops. Just fantastic. Don't always get a parking spot as it’s a small car park, but there is a large car park very close by and safe. I would highly recommend a stay here. Special thanks to the Aussie Receptionist she was just so very helpful and lovely!! We will 100% go back. Wonderful thank you to all the staff!!

Very much of a let down. The food is bought from bake brothers as the ‘Pie of the day ‘ is not made on site according to the waiter. When I checked the ingredients he said they are bought in, and he needs to check the box for the ingredients!!!! It should have been advertised as an onion and carrot pie rather than beef and ale. To add the Gnocchi was awful. The Sauce was thick, and the gnocchi was over cooked. Even the muscles had some plastic left in the bowl. My recommendation would be to avoid this place at all costs. There are so many better restaurants in the town, and please don’t waste your money. ( I live locally and not a tourists and won’t be back) The service was good, but all about the upsell of the pre made puddings. Nicely fitted out and ok for beer, but do not waste your money buying factory food falsely advertised as ‘pie of the day’. Go elsewhere:

Gutes Essen und guter Service. Etwas teuer aber für die Qualität in Ordnung Atmosphäre ist in Ordnung aber nicht das klassische Pub

This pub/hotel/restaurant in the centre of Cirencester was extremely busy on the Friday lunchtime we chose to pop in. It had been recommended by a friend but we hadn't realised that we needed to book. A female waiter, who greeted us, managed to find us a table but unfortunately it was quite close to the door so every time someone came in or out we felt a sharp chill. As a result I kept my coat on throughout our lunch which made it slightly uncomfortable. The menu itself offered plenty of choice. We opted just for a main course. It was plentiful, tasty and well presented so no complaints

Only had lunch on this occasion, but it was great, staff were brilliant, presentation was wonderful and the chef was very accommodating with our dietary requests. One can see why it's a busy restaurant, in the heart of Cirencester, prices reflect its great quality and attention to detail of a wonderful place to relax and enjoy.

My wife and sister visited here for lunch. It was our first ever visit. And what a find it was. The level of service was outstanding, so friendly and polite. The quality, presentation and taste of the food we ate was superb. We have been to other establishments when visiting Cirencester but, The Fleece is by far the best we've experienced. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

Gorgeous time at The Fleece today. We are having a few days holiday staying near Cirencester and stopped here for a light lunch. Delicious food and excellent service! And extremely reasonable. Lovely find!

We stumbled upon The Fleece when walking past on Saturday afternoon. It looked lovely and so we decided to pop in. Luckily for us there was a table right by the window and we enjoyed a delicious 2-course dinner. The service, atmosphere and food was delightful! We had such a pleasant evening. Will definitely return and recommend to anyone!

I cannot fault this venue for an evening meal. We were there for a 50th birthday celebration, a party of 10 people. The staff were amazing and our waiter was absolutely fantastic, nothing was enough trouble! He even managed (due to a communication error between friends regarding candles), managed to fit 50 candles onto a cake, and get the cake to the table without any of them blowing out AND without setting the venue on fire! The food was absolutely delicious and served very hot, on hot plates and there were totally clean plates at the end! I really cannot recommend this venue enough, both for staff and food!

Stopped for some food and a drink ,Unfortunately had to rush them both as didn't put enough money on parking ticket !!! Still very nice if a little cut short

Fantastic service and good selection

The bar/restaurant was really nice and we enjoyed both our evening meal and breakfast. The room however was a let down, it was extremely small, not that clean and nothing like what we expected from the images. It stated we would have chocolates which weren't in the room and for a birthday gift it felt rather disappointing.

I had my 21st celebration here and could not fault anything! We were so impressed with the food, drinks and especially the staff! I can’t thank you all enough for making my day so special! We would recommend the Sunday roast😋

Lovely pub in the heart of Cirencester. Staff are amazing , food tasty and rooms cosy. Shame they ran out of some dishes in the menu , but on the whole a delightful break.

We met friends here for lunch in the bar and it was brilliant. A good, buzzing atmosphere but despite being busy it was some of the best service I've had for a long time. The staff were attentive and on it, doing things like refilling water carafes without being asked, but not being intrusive (no one asked us three times if our meal was alright, which it most certainly was). They even brought a bowl of water for the dog unprompted. I don't know your name, brilliant waiter with the beard, but thank you for looking after us so well!

Best food we’ve had in a very long time! Since Covid I have been disappointed by many restaurants however The Fleece surpassed all of my expectations today! The bavette steak was fantastic, we also had tempura prawns and crispy duck pancakes. All of which tasted great and was presented beautifully. Even the tomato pasta from the kids menu was very nice. The staff were exceptionally friendly and couldn’t do enough for us to make sure we had a good time and everything we wanted. Thanks again! We will be back every time we are in Cirencester!

Stayed two nights in the Fleece Hotel Cirencester. The the staff were very helpful and attentive. As constructive criticism I would say our room could do with a bit of fresh paint on the walls and skirting boards. Did not effect our stay but have stayed In other 5 star rated hotels and attention to detail in the rooms was of a higher standard than the Fleece.

Good cocktails and great service

Below par - would go back to the Kings Head next time

Stopped for a quick lunch on the way home to Portsmouth. Service was great, and the food was perfect

Nice lunch menu here. Staff extremely polite, friendly and helpful.

Stayed here this weekend. Great location and great atmosphere. Staff were excellent, nothing too much trouble so big shout for them. First time staying Here but would definitely stay again. Tracy

Lovely restaurant, great service and great food. This was our 2nd visit and would definitely return again. Highly recommend the seafood pasta. The restaurant is right on the market square so a great location.

This hotel is in the middle of town and from our room we could see the church and town square. The staff instantly put us at ease and check in was very simple and straight forward.

Wednesday night outing with a couple of the lads and some food. I wasn’t too hungry so had chorizo and sourdough. It was good. The chorizo could’ve had 1 minute less on the heat. But was tasty and filled the spot non the less. Will be returning.

Stayed here for my birthday night and had a meal here. The town is beautiful, the room is really cute and the meal was amazing! Had a steak which was top notch. Also the staff were so lovely they could not do enough really refreshing! Really enjoyed ourselves and we will be back! Finally If you have a dog this is the place to bring them!!

This was our visit to this hotel. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome. We were found to our room the Wright deluxe super king bedroom which was stunningly beautiful. The facilities in room were excellent. We had our evening meal in the hotel in there Teatro bar and restaurant; the food was delicious and the service was outstanding; our waitresses Michaela and Stacey very attentive and friendly. We loved it so much and have booked to stay in the summer.

We went to the Fleece Hotel in Cirencester for a meal on Boxing Day with family. It’s a great location and atmosphere. The staff were great and the food was excellent and good value.

We had the most excellent lunch at The Fleece recently. The ambience was superb, the service attentive and friendly. The food was wonderful - utterly delicious. I must say that the sticky toffee pudding was one of the very best I have ever eaten. The beer was very well kept. Dog friendly. Definitely highly recommend.

Had a super lunch when we visited with family. Two had fish and chips and two had the fish goujon sandwich. The prtions were very large so sadly no room for dessert but we will be back.

We visited on a Monday afternoon, with a mixture of dietary needs. The staff couldn’t have been more accommodating and checked on several occasions that they were providing enough information regarding food intolerances and the like. The service was really good and the food, both starters and mains, were to a really high standard with good portion sizes. The bar has a really nice atmosphere and feels welcoming. Would recommend without hesitation.

A welcoming atmosphere with attentive staff and efficient service throughout our meal. The roast dishes were well cooked, served with traditional vegetables and a superb Yorkshire pudding. While the beef was faultless, the report on a vegetarian nut roast was felt to have fallen a tad short compared to a similar lunch last year. There was also a shade of disappointment that extra vegetables served in the past were missing this year. The mini pudding/coffee option was well received, though the presentation of the chocolate brioche bread and butter pudding eclipsed the composition and flavour. Is this a casualty of the cost of living crisis affecting the hospitality sector, we wondered?

I’d give this place 10 stars if it was possible, absolutely fantastic, best bar staff by far, friendly, informative and they remember you, which goes a long way, food was fantastic. Returned twice during our long weekend in Cirencester. Could not fault the place and if we return I’d think we’d definitely try and stay at fleece. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend

I had to try the bangers and mash since we were in England. The sausages were very good quality, nothing funky. My wife had the sampler for 2 . Everything was cold, she was disappointed with her meal and could not finish it.

Good atmosphere and service. Dog friendly. Both had burgers, chicken/beef - with lovely sauces - delicious. Wine selection good.

What a great spot for a typical English pub meal. All the usual offerings done outstandingly. Nicest pie I've ever had (and I'm a great pie fan), went again a second night it was so good and ordered the fish and chips, another classic. Wonderful crisp batter but not oily & crisp, fluffy chips. Clearly they have a great kitchen. Pie had this amazing side of greens which seemed to be a combo of kale, cavalo nero and beans or snap peas done in a light butter, just delicious! Good staff, efficient and professional but also casual and chatty. Great atmosphere too, without the (oft off-putting) ubiquitous TV showing footy or loud music.

Celebration - 60th wedding anniversary. Four days of enjoyment helped by kind and considerate staff (even presenting us with a bottle of champagne!) and quite exceptional food at all sittings. Certainly worth another visit.

Fabulous lunch at the Fleece today all had pie of the day and it was wonderful. Great friendly staff very helpful and happy to have us in for lunch unlike the Kings Head! Just a wonderful time had by us all thanks again staff at the Fleece 👍😀

Visiting Cirencester and decided to give this place a go. So glad we did, absolutely delicious freshly prepared food, excellent service, lovely and spaces inside, great kids menu. Would highly recommend.

Curt and over worked staff. Basic food. Minimal vegetarian options most had been sold out on day of our meal. Staff hovered over me so quickly chose. Burrato salad was tasteless. Chicken pie was acceptable, but the dry mash and wet cabbage was not .

Delicious Sunday roast and now find it hard to go anywhere else as it's just so good! Beef and pork are *chefs kiss*

We have been to the Fleece many, many times as a couple for just drinks and meals, as a family for a meal or two, and had a couple of big celebratory family meals in their private dining rooms. You can't beat the service it's superb, the drinks menu is vast and good, and the food is lovely. The place is very attractive with a lovely Cotswold vibe and has a fab atmosphere. It's our go-to place.

As we had our dog with us, we were only able to eat in the bar area. The first time we tried to have lunch there was a waiting time of an hour for the bar area so we decided to book a table for the following day. This time there was no wait, we were showed quickly to our table and our drinks were served without delay. There was a good choice on the menu and my wife's Gluten Free diet did not cause any problems. Our food was well presented and tasted very good (I can certainly recommend the Steak Bavette on the lunch menu). Good value for money and can certainly recommend.C

What a great place. Staff very friendly and food was excellent. Thanks for another great meal and experience. Can’t wait to visit again soon.

We just spent a couple of nights in this historic and pretty town and stayed at the Fleece. A fascinating old pub with masses of character and yet great attention to detail and customer care.
