The Fleece Inn in East Riding of Yorkshire

A gem of a pub, excellent beer, great staff and a warm welcome. Perfect.

Went for a meal last night while staying locally on our holiday and the food was excellent. Homemade pies made and cooked perfectly. The landlord keeps a good cellar and the Theakston went down a treat. Staff where very friendly and happy in their work. A lovely evening! Returned this weekend and yet again a lovely lunch, fabulous home cooked meal and excellent service. We love coming here! See you in October when we are staying local again. Thankyou ! End October 2024 Returned to the Wolds and Bishop Wilton and another great meal at the Fleece Inn. Sorry to see it is up for Let I hope someone equally good takes up on this lovely country village pub! Well done to all the team!

Had Sunday lunch here today. The menu offered excellent choice of starters and main course, especially for my vegetarian friend. The starters were excellent as were the main courses of brie and red onion tart, and traditional roast beef. unfortunately too full for pudding from the tempting selection on offer. We were impeccably served by the waiter, Bradley who was polite and efficient, and by Grace ( manager?). We were very pleased that the Fleece is dog friendly, and indeed the whole atmosphere was friendly and welcoming for humans too.

Great village pub. Excellent location. Staff are really friendly, food is really good and a great selection of drinks.

Really lovely pub food great and breakfast really good cosy rooms that give you a feeling of being our in the country village is lovely and the staff are brilliant and really nice close to york so a nice base to stay and get back and relax in front of a roaring fire if you stay in the colder months like we did

The room we stayed in was in the courtyard, separate from the main building. The room was lovely and clean with a comfy bed , and the bathroom was massive . Nice touch with biscuits included with the tea and coffee facilities. We ate here in the evening and the food was good and the staff were all lovely and friendly. Out the back is a large outdoor seating area which was really nice and the surrounding village was pretty with a little beck running through and so peaceful.

Fab place. Fab food lovely staff.

Staying at street farm caravan site. Booked a table. Very friendly staff. Great meals. In fact the best we had all week .

Rooms where lovely and clean with huge bathroom. No wifi. Food was nice but took nearly an hour to get it and only us that needed food but my father wanted fish and chips and we got told they was no fish left and I wanted pie and potatoes but sadly had no potatoes. Service was very friendly, a young man who brought the food was so amazing and kind and apologized for the wait. The lady at the bar was chatty and knew the locals so was nice.

Ate here recently whilst having a stopover locally. Staff were really friendly and the food was really good. Prices are reasonable and the location is lovely, the village is really pretty. Worth a visit

Excellent pub in quiet Wolds village. Excellent sensibly priced food and great real ales with great staff.

Amazing pub with the finest selection of special Ale and beers, great company and surroundings and the food is beautiful!

Cheap and clean room with own bathroom. Impress I've selection of biscuits, tea and coffee that I have not seen in expensive accomodation. Didn't have time to go in the pub but looked cosy and good beer garden

Excellent service and great beer garden. Hidden gem.

Excellent value for money food .very pleasant staff

Really friendly pub Good value tasty food in a very pretty village We visited while staying on holiday near by We were made to feel welcome The soup and scampi were both good tasty prtions

We didn't stay in the inn, but visited the pub. Lovely atmosphere inside/out and great pub food done really well. Would recommend

Visited to today with my family for Mother’s Day. I can’t fault anything. The service and staff were fantastic, the food superb and the environment and atmosphere welcoming and warm. Shall definitely be back and highly recommend.

This turned out a little disappointing which was not what we expected given its great reputation. We went for Sunday Dinner which we thought we couldn’t go wrong with. Firstly the Yorkshire Puddings were burnt to a crisp which we mentioned to the girl serving . However at the end of the meal we were asked if we had enjoyed the meal and we said that other than the burnt Yorkshire puddings yes ! The response was if we hand mentioned it they would replaced them . We had mentioned it !! We had ordered lamb in the main and asked for mint sauce we were told that they had been particularly busy on lamb and as such they had ran out of mint sauce!! Surely if you are serving 40 portions of lamb you would carry 40 portions of mint sauce?? The roast potatoes were super and the vegetables also were good but burnt Yorkshire puddings is unforgivable and not having mint sauce……

Had been to Pocklington Christmas market but no dog friendly pubs serving food so looked near by Excellent choice as food really good will recommend

Great food, great service, will definitely be back

A true East Yorkshire hidden GEM. I was doing a walk and we stopped in the village, we had pre ordered our food, but this did not take anything away from the quality of the service. We were welcomed on our entry by very attentive staff, who asked how the walk had been and answered every question asked by the group. The range of beers was good and reasonably priced. I had the Veltins and it was really nice. The food came out on good time after our arrival, I had a pie, chicken ham and leek and it was served with chips and the most delicious gravy, that given the chance I would have drank it. The pastry around the pie was beautiful and the entire meal was really really nice, all the food that came out was good. The pudding menu has a broad selection on that all sounded nice. I will go back and take the family there as it was that good

Came here for an evening meal whilst on holiday in the area. Great food, all freshly cooked, variety of options. Amazing service from the team!

Wonderful pub with really friendly staff. We stayed for tea when we were on a three day hike. The food was lovely, the chicken and ham pie was marvellous, with chicken gravy which was outstanding! Will definitely come back to this lovely pub again when we travel through. Thank you!

A lovely pub with excellent food and beer! Homemade food and an excellent cellar. Friendly staff happy in their work! A good evening and we will happily go back next time we are here. Recommend indeed!

No star rating for the Rooms because we are staying elsewhere,food and the staff are all first class,.

Great place for Sunday lunch. Staff very courteous, friendly and efficient with a smile. Good place to eat and drink.

Stayed there for a weekend, the landlord and landlady are very friendly, the pub is in a beautiful location and the food is very good. Breakfast is also excellent. The accommodation is very clean and comfortable with tea/coffee making kit. Would most definitely be my preference if I was touring in the area, nice beer garden.

Quiet, nice a friendly pub, spectacular chips with gravy and cheese, despite being booked up for food they still didn’t let us go out hungry! Place is dog friendly and have nice yard in the back. Sizeable parking lot. Conveniently located just 5 minutes off main road!

Called here for an evening meal, to say the least I won’t be returning. Ordered 3 sizzlers and one steak. The sizzlers weren’t even sizzling and the sauce was watery, not tasty at all. The steak was poor quality, chips were nice think that was the only good thing. Asked for no peas and it came with peas. Slow service, had to ask for menus, very old decor. Beer garden looked nice. Waitress was in a hurry to take our order and recommend something that was only going to be fast in cooking rather than anything that would take time. She wasn’t very clued up on the menu. Overall just average pub food and will not be returning.

Booked the Fleece Inn to stay for one night. Arrived in time for Sunday lunch, and delighted we did. We both had the Lamb Roast with plenty of tasty veg, roast potatoes and extra gravy.The meal was excellent and the staff were very helpful and polite.We also had a nice early evening in the beer garden followed by a few refreshments in the pub.Breakfast in the morning was great, and we look forward to our next visit!

Stayed for one night. Booked a table for the evening, when we arrived there was no table available as it was so busy with a lot of walk-ins but got resolved very quickly with complimentary drinks and after ten minutes got our table.Well, the wait was worth it!! Absolutely amazing food. Me and my son loved it and we would definitely come again.Very friendly staff and great customer service. The room was nice too, just what you need for a little break. Highly recommend this place!!Thank you.

stunning food at a reasonable price very friendly staff and a good selection of Gin's clean and safe we had been before will be back again soon

Booked in for a Saturday lunch with another household. Seriously impressed with the Covid procedures, lovely sheltered table and very friendly staff with a great simple menu and beer!

Got a warm welcome this evening. Had a great meal... what a treat to have hand cut chips. Good vegetarian and vegan options for a country pub. Good choice of ales. Thank you for a lovely evening.

We visited The Fleece twice whilst staying in the local area. We had great service and the food was all fantastic. Will definitely be visiting again!

A one night break for two of us and our dog. What a find!Location: Such a lovely village, packed full of character and fabulous walks through stunning countryside.Staff: Maybe their best asset! Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Nothing was to much trouble.Room: Lovely and warm with everything you expect from a country pub.Food: Amazing! Evening meal of prawns in garlic butter with white wine. A Rib-eye steak perfectly cooked and a beef sizzler that was so tasty. After of sticky toffee pudding and a chocolate brownie. Really can’t fault the food one bit. A great ‘full English’ the next morning which was equally first class. Beer: A great range of real ales well kept. The bar was very well stocked and hard to think you couldn’t get just what you wanted.Our whole experience was enhanced by strongly adhered Covid-19 safeguarding which all worked well. Very dog friendly which was really appreciated.We’ll definitely be back. A special thank you to the hard working staff who are all a credit to the establishment. Thank you all.

Fantastic for 2 adults and 3 very hungry teenagers - totally lovely time had by all of us - we were made so welcome xx

We have eating here many times,,once order is placed,we find about twenty minute wait before arrives, But worth the wait and lovely friendly staff

What a lovely, friendly pub. Had two meals here, including Sunday lunch. Food was great, tasty, home cooked. Really enjoyed our visits

The Fleece Inn offers "basket meals" which were perfect for us for a smaller lunch! Very yummy and generous portion sizes. Great value for money and a nice pool table for something to do after your meal.

Nice welcoming atmosphere. Staff friendly and attentive. The food was very average, old fashioned pub grub. Lacks quality and finesse

Very warm and friendly village pub serving great food and drinks. Booking is advisable. You won’t be disappointed......

Afternoon sesh and a stop over worth checking it out. Hosts were great and even played pool with a few locals great laugh. The accommodation is spot on very clean with a comfy bed. We had an evening meal at The Fleece Inn and really enjoyed it. Starters were Grilled Halloumi on a bed of salad and spicy dressing, Black pudding tower with bacon both very nice. The mains were King prawn sizzler with rice and Lasagna both very filling and plentiful. We both really enjoyed our stay and do plan to return.

Nice room across a small courtyard from the main building. Spotlessly clean, comfortable bed, generous with tea & coffee in the room, hair dryer in draw, small tv. Very good sized bathroom with shower over.Excellent full English breakfast brought to our table. I did not eat in the restaurant in the evening as we had plans elsewhere but the menu looked good and reasonably priced. Staff were all very friendly and helpful.

Delicious food, piping hot and good value. Found this pub on trip advisor when looking for somewhere to eat - other reviews were good so thought we’d give it a go and weren’t disappointed

Always greeted by friendly. The meals were always well cooked and hot,With good selection and plenty of it.We Thought very well priced,would use the Fleece again

I must say this friendly little pub in the village is amazing, nice bar staff with friendly locals. We decided to eat and so glad we did, my husband has a nut allergy and the young lady waitress was excellent, top class friendly polite got the head chef and went though his order and not leaving anything to chance then they reassured us as my husband had an American burger. I had the most fabulous gammon with pineapple and egg. I can highly recommend this pub if you fancy a nice cosy night with excellent food. It was that good, we have booked for tomorrow for Sunday lunch.

Came here last night and it was fantastic friendly welcoming and very nice Chloe the young waitress was the best she new everything she converted me from ribeye to sirloin and it was the best I ever had sirloin all the way for me the deserts where very very nice also I’ll def be returning thank you guys for making us welcome

We come every year and it’s nice to see they are still going and still doing what they do well. The staff are always really good and the food is lovely! I just wish their opening hours suited us holidaymakers a bit better but it’s a very quiet area so I can totally understand their limited service times. We came very close to closing time but they served us without grumbling like many would!

Championship worth burger. If you order it you’ll guarantee to like it! Lovely food and great service.

Had a ride out locally following the Easter weekend and thought we’d pay the Fleece a visit. Only had a drink here before so decided to have a bite to eat. My partner had the Steak and Ale pie and I had the Ham, eggs and chips. Both meals were fantastic, the pie was huge and filled to the brim with tender, tasty steak and my ham and eggs were spot on. We will be back as the service and welcome were friendly and efficient, thank you. Great value for money and well worth the ride out.

We went to The Fleece for an Easter Sunday Lunch and were very pleased to see the there were several Vegetarian options for all three courses. Although very busy, the Service was just right. We finished off a very pleasant lunchtime by having drinks in the Beer Garden. Adequate off and on-street parking.

Popped in for a drink as staying near by. Both pints were well kept and went down well! Sunny afternoon so beer garden full of families with their children.

Under new management, the Fleece has become even more popular and now is a very pleasant 'Local' even in the Winter Months. We enjoyed the selection of Ales - and the Sunday Night Pub Quiz.

The pub is quaint and unassuming - I was there with colleaugues for dinner. I am vegetarian and probably was just unfortunate, my main course arrived luke warm and had limited taste.

While on our way to Hallowscream in York we stopped in here for food after been recommended to us by friends. The food was amazing and all home cooked, we will definitely be visiting this pub again.

The Inn has changed hands so many time in the last few years that you are never sure what you are going to get. We went for a midweek supper and it was okay - not great cooking but certainly plentiful and was reasonably priced. The selection of ales has been maintained but I wonder if that is a real draw in itself compared with the Hot Stone dishes on offer previously. As a "Local", it needs to be supported.

Friendly pub, busy so was told was a 15 minute wait which was fine as we were in no rush. Ordered starters of Whitebait which was very nice. We then ordered chicken sizzler with rice and chicken fajitas both dishes were very tasty and enjoyable we would definitely recommend the pub and food

We were staying nearby and despite the two previous reviews decided that the others were favourable so would give The Fleece a go. Sunday lunch was very good, thick lean slices of beef, lovely potatoes and veg and a yummy crumble and ice cream. We went back a further two times and varied our choices and were never disappointed. Reasonably priced and lovely, friendly staff.

Arrived with friends for lunch. My order of bacon/brie/cranberry bun was obviously pre-cooked as I could not get my knife through either the bun nor bacon and both were cold. The brie was just two large "chunks" - not presented very well. Quite disappointing. However, lovely pub and I will try again!

We were staying at the Wolds Edge lodges and this is the only place to eat in the village - but we were not disappointed. My partner had the steak pie and he rated it 9.5/10 and was very impressed wit h the quality and amount of meat. I opted for the steak which was cooked well and came with homemade chips.

We were staying at Wolds Edge so popped in for a look and we were so impressed that we returned every evening. Surprisingly large menu, all the food was very well cooked and presented. The bar staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, with well kept beer and a good selection of gins. We will definitely return when we are next in the area.

Excellent choice. We followed the sign from the main road and found this treasure at Bishop Wilton. The pub opened at 5.30 and food was served from 6pm. Good choice big portions and excellent food. Maybe a little more than you would expect to pay but the portion sizes and quality of food made it good value. We had fish and chips, lasagne and the bishop Wilton burger. The onion rings were awesome . A future suggestion would be for them to do potions in a smaller size lots of places do this now. We had a lovely meal in the beer garden in the sun. Excellent service , venue location and food.

The Fleece keeps it simple, focusing on what many people want from a pub - a great selection of drinks including a regularly changing real ale line-up, and pub food done exceptionally well.

We were staying at the lodges down the road - during the snow - and this pub was a lifesaver. The food and service were amazing, and the open fires were very cosy when arriving after a snowy walk.

Went because a friend was celebrating his birthday and enjoyed two excellent nights care of a good landlord and staff. I will definitely be returning

We walked in to a lovely cosy dining room with two large fires lit. Welcomed with a smile and offered a choice of tables (we were the first to arrive for Sunday lunch).

We stayed in Bishop Wilton and visited the Fleece Inn for dinner one evening. Was lovely. Sat by a real fire and the staff were really friendly and accommodating. Had a big booking in and still managed to get us fed quickly! Food is really good too! I would recommend visiting.

This village pub is absolutely brilliant, we went 3 times while staying at Wolds Edge lodges. The food is excellent and the staff very caring. Callum is a real gem at this place. My partner was unwell and we had booked a Christmas dinner one night, Callum asked at every course if he was ok, we were gutted we had to leave early. I would not hesitate to even travel from Nottingham for a Sunday dinner here.

We were staying at Wolds Edge (2 families) and booked dinner at the pub. Easy walk from the lodges to the pub, which is perfect. All 8 of us enjoyed our dinner and the bar staff were very pleasant!

We enjoyed a lovely meal here at the weekend, we both had sirloin steaks and they were cooked perfect with homemade chips and trimmings we could not fault it. We were made very welcome and the service was excellent we would recommend it to anyone

We called for a drink one evening and asked to look at the menu. We liked what we saw so booked a table for the following Saturday early evening. I like the eclectic mix of old and VERY old style decor of the bar/restaurant. The atmosphere is of a casual pub with locals chatting whilst enjoying a drink. No need to dress up here! The menu is good old-fashioned English fare. The pies seemed popular. Steaks and vegetables were generous and well-cooked. The staff were friendly, polite and efficient. A no frills place, but would visit again.

Nos fuimos a la lana Inn por casualidad y tenía un excelente asado los domingos. La Yorkshire budines fueron las mejores que he probado nunca. Pub era preciosa y limpia, con un verdadero ambiente familiar. A la familia. Sin duda, comer aquí.

Almorcé hoy aquí y era absolutamente delicioso. El pub en sí era muy tranquilo, pero el propietario fue muy amable y nos hizo sentir bienvenidos. Pedimos el pastel de carne con cerveza y gigante hadddock, tanto servido con patatas fritas caseras y guisantes. Las comidas eran muy sabroso y tanto así que obviamente casero. La corteza cubiertas tarta estaba lleno de carne tierna y hermosa rica gravey galletas. El pescado estaba muy fresco y muy sabroso con pasta y unas. Ale fue una porter y muy bueno y a un gran precio de £2. 80. Estábamos muy contentos con nuestras comidas, y sin duda lo recomiendo.

we did eat in this pub twice while we stayed in the lodge, both times we enjoyed the food, i would say though sunday lunch could do with giving a lot more portion size, my partner liked the beer ale, said it was very nice overall very friendly staff

Vino a quedarse en el estanque de mill, así que llegó para el té de viernes por la noche y la comida era adorable justo lo que necesitábamos después de un largo día de personal era muy bonito muy amables

stayed here a few months ago with my partner when we stayed in Wolds Edge holiday lodges, the pub is great! the atmosphere is fantastic, the prices are reasonable and the food is amazing!Couldn't find anything to fault, would highly recommend if you are in the area.

Very cosy and friendly pub. The food is really really nice. The drinks are all cheap and the food doesn't cost much. Nice and warm inside.

Outside: well presented Inside: great atmosphere, friendly staff welcoming Drink: lovely kept and well presented Food: I had burger and chips, the burger was pink which I am fine with but should have been asked. Chips had too much oil in them.

Called in here for sunday lunch after walking some of the wolds way. Hadn't booked but got a table no problem and the food was beautiful. Really friendly staff and good selection of beers. Highly recommended...

Stayed here in New Year's Eve as we were visiting friend who were staying close. This pub is absolutely lovely. Landlord and landlady couldn't do enough for us. Entertainment on New Year's Eve was good. Breakfast was superb. We stay in a room 2. And the room was clean warm and had everything you need. It was small but you only sleep there not party. My husband left his wallet in the room when we left and the hotel kept it safe. Thank you. All in all fab hotel. Sunday lunch looked amazing but we didn't lunch. Would I go back. YES

Went to this place on a cold wet Saturday afternoon. With my friend. I had sausage and onion with pickled onion gravy and my friend had roast beef with horseradish and gravy, both were served in hot ciabattas and they were absolutely gorgeous. She had been there the previous week and had stopped for lunch after a nine mile walk and enjoyed so much she took me back. I'm so glad she did and I will now go back with my partner. The pub is a proper little country pub with the fire pumping heat out. Lovely.

Wow! Absolutely amazing Sunday dinner! The Yorkshire puddings were superb! You could tell everything was home cooked And for a great price, £15.95 for 3 courses! As a table of 6 we had the lamb, beef, pork and turkey which were all perfectly cooked! Lovely staff and atmosphere in the pub. Definitely recommend coming here for a meal!

Stayed in Bishop Wilton and visited the pub a couple of times. The decor is a bit outdated. The pub serves food on a Monday (fish night) very good portion of fish and chips, there was also fish pie or scampi on offer. Friendly helpful owners.

Ate here while on holiday in the Village, found the staff very friendly and the food to be of great quality.

Had a meal here whilst staying in the area. The staff were lovely and attentive, however, a little disappointed in the food. A little too greasy for me. Saying that, it may have been the choice of a hamburger, would have preferred the sausage and mash but for some reason the mash was off menu. If I stay in the area would go back but would choose something simple from the menu. The staff were better than the food.

The food was very good, a very friendly place. But tea towels that they use to carry the hot plates were absolutely disgusting.

Our first visit was April 2015 and when we booked again for April 2016, we couldn't wait. The food and service was just great (make sure you have worked up an appetite because the portions are good). The last Sunday of every month they have a jazz evening from 5.30-8.30pm and we made sure we were there for that too.

We were a family party of 6 who rocked up to be fed and watered -the pub dining area was busy but the waitress was happy to accommodate us in the bar area -although we just had mains -the food was great ! My niece who's a fussy vegetarian didn't like the veggie option of mushroom stroganoff and wanted the kids pizza so the waitress suggested adding extra onion rings .Hunters chicken , scampi , steak and fish and chips came piping hot and plentiful -nice atmosphere in the pub and landlords have only just taken over -real ales served for those that like that - really good little find and lovely village only half an hour from York !

My wife and our best Friends were staying at The Lodges in the village for a weekend away. On the Friday we arrived I had booked a table for 7pm thinking we would be there in plenty of time. However our Friends were held up due to an incident on the Motorway and arrived later than planned. I explained to the young lady behind the bar and they were great and held our table until our friends arrived despite being busy. Lovely ales and meals followed and service was great. The Saturday night we had planned to eat in York but one of our party didn't feel to well so three of us turned up at the Fleece without booking but again they did us proud. We did notice that the pub is up to let as the current landlord and family are off to pastures new in the new year. I hope that who ever takes the helm will maintain the standard as it is now.

The Fleece has high-quality everything!Food, staff, landscape, they all go together.Just Brilliant, Amazing, Fantastic, if I have to I'll say......supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!!

Called in for a drink following a 2hr walk. Sat outside in the beer garden which was nice (lovely weather too). The Ales were very delish. We visited again on Wednesday evening for dinner and were greeted and served by very friendly staff. Good choice of menu and good portion sizes and reasonable prices. Hubby and I both enjoyed our food and wouldn't hesitate in returning.

An excellent Sunday lunch with all the trimmings. Old style layout and hand pulled pints if required. The sign outsides says to let so lets hope it continues in the same vein.Well worth a visit.

We had dinner here with three generations of the family. The food was excellent - good home cooking, and the service was both efficient and friendly. We were all very happy with our meals.

Had a meal here whilst staying at Wolds Edge Shepherds Hut, nice traditional pub, very welcoming & good food. What more could you want.

An authentic and cosy country pub. We spent a very enjoyable Friday evening at the Fleece. It has a great atmosphere - it was busy but not overcrowded. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The food was also very good. In particular I recommend the black pudding starter - absolutely delicious, though it is huge!

£50 a head bought dried up pate, shoe leather duck breast, mediocre veg and microwaved portions of Christmas pud. This was supposed to be a treat to save all the prep and clearing up for us - a very expensive mistake and an abysmal offering from this village pub. First and last time!

My partner and I had a good evening meals at The Fleece Inn. My partner had the steak and stilton pie and I the goats cheese tart. When my partner placed our food order at the bar, he was informed that the pie was still cooking in the oven if he did not mind waiting. He said to me that definitely shows this is a home made pie and was definitely worth waiting for. Good portions all round, but we found that everywhere we ate in York was good portions, it must be the "Yorkshire way" Would recommend to anyone this establishment with it's, good food, good wine and beer, friendly staff and a very good atmosphere (and that is not all down to the ghosts that walk these dwellings).

Visited for our evening meal over the weekend. Food was lovely and plentiful. The garlic mushroom starter was lovely but not enough garlic for my liking - however that is my own opinion.I had the fish pie for my main and it was divine! Lots of fish (I've eaten the same dish in other restaurants and there has been the tiniest amount of fish which is disappointing given it is supposed to be fish pie!) My husband had steak pie and again he said the amount of steak in the pie was enough to feed a small army! (although he ate the lot :-) )Staff were friendly and prompt - all in all a good experience was had.We did hear a few dishes were sold out but as this didn't affect us directly, we weren't too fussed. I can imagine it would be disappointing if you did want those dishes though.
