The Fleece Inn in South Ribble

On my way back from a meeting I popped into the fleece as it looked welcoming from the outside and I wasn’t disappointed it was warm n cozy inside and the gent behind the bar Steve was very friendly and professional the food was delicious and very reasonably priced, if you haven’t tried this place give it a go

Came to the fleece with friends for drinks it’s was lovely and warm with a nice atmosphere we weee served by Steve who had a friendly manner and the staff were nice Will return

Nice place and fair prices. No fleece'inn the customers here!

Lovely little cozy pub. The staff are very friendly, and my dog felt very welcome

Decent food, great atmosphere, staff up for a laugh 👌👌👌👌

came in for a family meal had a lovely server called hope :)) fab place! love the vibes x

Lovely little pub, staff really friendly and great service

Lovely food, great staff, served by hope who was very polite and friendly

Most of the food seemed like it had been cooked for slightly too long, and took a while to arrive. Toilets aren't something I'd usually comment on, but the gents toilets here really need a good clean. They are not pleasant

Good family pub and dog friendly so always a winner. Pub food was a decent price and waitress friendly and polite, Hope? Would recommend.

Great place to come for a drink. Absolutely great environment. Reasonable prices. Amazing place :)

The food was missing some ingredients stated on the menu. It looked like something off the kids menu. They did however refund our money for the food which was a good gesture.

Came here to meet some friends for lunch… wonderful… lovely staff and fab atmosphere…

All staff are welcoming . Also got nice offer for food 2 main course 14.99 3 small plates 14.50 . Also got good kids deal for meal drink and dessert. And nice offer for shots 3 for 6 pound

All staff warm and welcome. Emre is best server and really quick when we walk in door our drinks ready thanks Emre

This pub is still my favourite "go to" for a pint in the evening. Warm atmosphere, friendly staff, and fastest bartender in the north, Emre

Fantastic service! Lewis and Louis were stars and served our group wonderfully. Will definitely come back again!

Brilliant pub, had an absolute blast with some friends doing the quiz. Plenty of offers on for shots which got our night going nicely. Genuinely one of the most fun nights I've had for a while.

Came into the fleece for football with friends we all had drinks the service was great and the staff were good did not have food on this occasion but the menu looked good so maybe next time

Needs updating looks inviting from the outside but inside and toilets are scruffy.

Excellent friendly pub, the staff are a laugh with great customer service skills. The newly renovated exterior is ace! Worth a pint as the pub has been standing for hundreds of years.

Nice and quiet. Lunch options were great. Short wait time. Wraps were amazing and came with dips. Chicken wings were nice and crispy.

Staff were all very friendly and willing to help made a great atmosphere for my 19 birthday meal

Disgusting toilets both ladies and gents. Over priced drinks. Will not be returning.

After being let down for a Sunday roast across the road from here we decided to have a dinner in here at 13.15 instead.We were told there was a 45 minute wait so we agreed and ordered 3 cokes and 3 roast beef dinners when ready. Then we were told there was no roast beef only turkey. Beggars belief !! ?? so we left and got MC donalds . Shouldn't have left Blackpool HaHa,Ha.

Really nice pub food was so good, and Poppy, who served us, was so lovely, kind, and very helpful. We will 100% be going again.

Came in a few weeks ago with a few friends for a birthday. As soon as we sat at the bar Poppy was there to help. They had a very good knowledge of the menus and also made very good suggestions when we were unable to decide what to have. Will definitely be coming again soon

I ordered a main, desert and my drinks at the bar to which the staff member got wrong and charged me the wrong amount which I then had to correct them on. After they brought out the wrong food for our table, my main meal came cold. My friend then ordered so more drinks and they didn't come until 20 minutes had gone by and they were not busy at all. After finishing our mains no one came to clear our plates, then 40 minutes had gone by so we decided to leave after realising how bad the service was. Once I arrived home I realised that I had ordered and paid for a desert which never arrived. I am really mad as I love churros.

had an amazing time here the other day with some friends, Poppy was amazing the whole night, lovely to chat to and service was perfect - will happily come again ✌🏻

super cute pub, honestly doesn’t feel like a chain until you look at the menus and see the logo! very decent guinness, cheap n cheerful food, and super friendly staff. poppy was exceptionally lovely - so nice to be served by someone who was up for a chat instead of just slamming down a pint glass and offering over a card reader. will be back for sure!

Food is really good! Platters and cheeseburger fries are so tasty! Staff are amazing xx

Always popping into my friendly penwortham local. My dogs get more attention then me 😂 looking forward to coming in for one of those amazing burgers

Absolutely love it here, beer garden in the sunshine is my favourite place to verify, service and food amazing!

Went to The Fleece in for about 45mins to an hour for drinks only to be hit with a £100 parking fine! Not clearly sign posted or anything. Didn’t see any signs or even told by a single member of staff about this parking scam! Its absolutely disgusting!!

Drinks are fine a little pricey, won’t ever eat here again though, me and my boyfriend have been here a couple times for drinks and yesterday we thought oh we might as well have something to eat, bad decision, a couple hours after we started with quite painful stomach cramps and diarrhoea which we thought would be a one off but it has continued into the morning.

Shocking food, grubbiest toilets in England, lousy attitude from Management. Overpriced drinks. Car park that you get fined for parking in, should you forget to register your number plate. Sooner it gets taken over the better

Always get a big fuss for my pups in the Fleece. Me and the family are regulars and always made to feel welcome and looked after. Loving the burger and a drink deal. Best smashed burger in Penwortham

I have been to here a few times now and will keep coming back!

Toilets are horrible. Many Acknowledgement s of the issues in past reviews but nothing being done about it . Why ? If Weathespoons can do it why xant you

Filthy dirty gents an absolute disgrace

Pub is in need of a thorough clean...

Good staff friendly atmosphere food very nice and fair pirece . All stuff are very friendly visit 1 time but now gonna turn our local pub we will go every day now.

Carnt thank Steve and the staff for accommodating the wedding party without notice today great pub and always welcome 👍

Enjoyed a few drinks in the beer garden on a lovely sunny evening. Place was buzzing

What a wonderful pub. Took parents for fathers day. Dad is wheelchair bound, mum uses a walker frame and they had a little dog. Nothing was too much trouble. Staff were lovely and friendly, food was tasty and plentiful. Atmosphere was great. Definitely worth a visit and would come back

Decent pub with plenty of range on tap and bottles behind the bar. To watch the footy there are also plenty of tv's staff are nice and plenty of seating space inside and out. Food is hit and miss on the numerous occassions we have ordered food. Good pub for a beer

Just called in on my way past .The Guinness was good but a pound a pint dearer than my local. I drank outside cos it was warm,saw people served with food which looked good.Over all an enjoyable pub except for the toilets,probably the dirtiest I've ever seen, looked like the floor had been cleaned with a muddy dead dog.Not too pleased to receive a £100 parking fine.Needless to say will not be returning.

Good food, friendly staff, quick service, nice garden area.

Good food and lovely staff but the toilets are not very nice 😕

Been a couple times and always a pleasure. The staff poppy and Luke are always happy to help and very friendly. Can’t wait till my friends next suggest to come back.

Came here a few days ago for some food and a pint because the weather was good! Poppy served me and my friends and their service was great, always had a smile on their face and made sure we enjoyed our time there. thankyou poppy <3

Came in yesterday with my mates for a nice drink and the person on the bar was LOVELY, I think their name was Poppy. Proper sorted us out and had good crack. Thank you Poppy!

Great atmosphere, helpful and friendly staff. Big thanks to Poppy in particular for being a wonderful bartender and helping us out with what to order!

Love this place. Great atmosphere. Friendly, welcoming staff. Great choice of beers, wines, shorts and food. Fantastic beer garden. Great place to enjoy a drink and food.

Went in to the Fleece with friends for drinks great atmosphere good staff lovely beer garden

Always my choice when I nip to Preston. Best local in town. Landlord is a credit

Really warm and cosy pub! Suitable for every person. Great beer, excellent bar staff & dog friendly!

Little tired interior but foods great.

My friend and I had a lovely meal, and the drinks were good it was just a shame they didn't have the ingredients for the cocktail they had advertised, but the cocktail I had instead was lovely

We attended the Fleece as part of a charity walk for CALM and which the Landlady was told over 40 people would be attending at some point prior to the event. Only two people on the bar despite being very busy and then one left to serve food. Funnily enough the Landlady was sat at a table having a pint of Guinness!! As you can imagine at lot of us left without a purchase so well needed trade was lost!

Great food with good staff, staff who served us and was really helpful and friendly. Lunchtime 2 for £14.99 great value, big well cooked and tasty food.

Enjoyed my meal,and the Fleece have a gluten free menu which is just what I need.

I like it here....enough to come every week for lunch. Great food and nice discount off two meals from the lunch menu.

Good Atmosphere and Friendly Staff

Absolutely lovely time here with my friend, lovely and friendly staff

Me and my friends had an amazing time at the quiz

Very good pub. Lovely food and great beer on tap!

Another lovely weekday tea at The Fleece, great value food and always a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Staff are fabulous and always check everything is okay. Its a 5* from us

Staff rude so we all left, told was stood at wrong of end of open bar to place order, tall female short blonde hair AVOID as makes you feel like a nuisance....

Went here on a Saturday night for a few drinks. All l can say l will not be going back until the toilets have been update they are discusting. My way of thinking is what are the kitchens like if the toilets are not kept to a good standard.

Great service, staff were friendly and welcoming, will be back again!

40 years on and toilets are still filthy, smelly and shameful. Average beverage prices, great staff, local pub but out of town visitors think it's a dump. Tap and Vine is superior. .

Good food excellent service will be going back again

Nice food at a great price.. That is why we return

Is it the last remaining pub In South ribble whose toilets stink.pub fine toilets awfulget it sorted.

fantastic service, lovely cozy pub

Went for an evening family walk post Christmas. Lovely cold night and towards the end of our walk we popped in for a drink. It was toasty and warm. Plenty of staff so we got a drink served quickly at the bar. Drinks served perfectly, Guinness was cold and poured well. We often call after a walk and it’s always welcoming . The food is nice as is the lighting and bar area

Me and friend came in for food, drinks and football. Food was served on time and hot. Both of us got the cheese and bacon burger. It was very, very tasty. Also plenty of TV's to watch the Football on!

Exercise food served by wonderful, attentive staff.

Hi All !! Absolutely super evening , the food was fantastic company was well deserved and the great atmosphere within the pub ! Thank you fleece for making us very welcome 🤗 👊👊👊

Parked at fleece went in for lunch no one told me I had to register my number plate and I’ve just received. £170 fine for parking there even tho I was a customer threatening bailiffs I won’t be ever coming back disgusting

Not too busy managed to get a table easily.

Lovely time here, very nice and festive decoration. Was greeted on arrival by shelly at the bar who was lovely and chatted to us, ordered a drinks and food. Nice bit of food burger and 3 small plates. Shelly came and asked if everything was OK See you soon

I don't usually write reviews however I saw a review on here today and this review is very unjust I visited for drinks and the staff were very friendly the place was warm and inviting and all my needs were met I feel that untrue and unfair reviews should not be allowed on this site

Food was lovely staff very friendly and drinks were good value for money will return again with family and friends. Staff cannot bend over backwards any more than they do to be friendly and professional. Can't believe what bad reviews some people write that in my opinion are unjustified

I never usually leave reviews but my experience at the Fleece was so appalling today that I am doing so. On entering the bar was unstaffed and then after 10 minutes a woman (apparently called Shelley) got off a stool at the end of the bar and asked what I wanted in a very unfriendly manner. I said I had been waiting 10 minutes and she must have seen that I was there. She completely ignored me and then proceeded to serve me in a very unfriendly manner. I went and sat down and a woman told me this 'Shelley' was always in a mood and just to ignore her. Why would you employ someone like that? I expect more of Greene King and am surprised they tolerate such poor customer service. The pint was fine mind.

Great pub, friendly staff and plenty of screens to watch the football

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, great choice of drinks. The football was on which always helps and there was plenty of seating available.

Fantastic service and excellent attention to the younger members of our party-very accomodating to us and even let us have a free game of pool. Will be back, thank you!

Went in last Wednesday afternoon and I must say the gent behind the bar was amazing. Very friendly and did everything He could for us, it’s a shame the woman behind the bar was very different. Leaves the pub a bad name walking around like she’s sucking sour sweets. Good experience minus the lady.

Always a great experience, very friendly staff and owners, I recommend the quiz on Thursday been coming for 2 years, Shelley is an amazing Quizmaster and the quiz is always fun

Lovely food, great selection of drinks & super friendly staff. Pub itself is really nice inside, feels cozy and always has a great atmosphere when I’ve been in!

Really nice pub! Lovely staff, friendly atmosphere, food is great & drink selection is fab too. Been a good few times now and each time I visit has been great, special mention to Lewis who is always super attentive & friendly.

Good service, friendly and approachable. Good food and drinks. Great pool table and fun to play with family when waiting for food.

We came in for food and drinks, both amazing and lovely atmosphere. Met the owner Shelley absolutely lovely and met her lovely huskie Loki. Xx

A fantastic, friendly pub with helpful staff.

Delicious lunch, good customer service, clean & tidy surroundings. Looks good after a lick of paint outside. We’ll worth a visit

The toilets are a disgrace and have been for years. I won’t eat there in that basis. It’s a shame that such a central and important pub to Penwortham is managed in this way.

The bar-staff were welcoming, the beer was good and competitively priced. The food was nice and reasonably priced. The pub was a pleasant place to be. The toilets were disgusting and this is the only reason for not giving a 5 star rating. If the cleaners ventured in there once a month it would transform the place.

We visited with our grandchildren & enjoyed the food, drink & fun in the back garden. Food was freshly cooked & very hot. Chef kindly allowed us to adjust our order to cater for some vegetarian options & my wife enjoyed drinking Green King beer. Thanks for looking after us & making our visit so nice
