Welcome to the Fleece Inn, Bretforton.
The Fleece Inn is the perfect rural retreat, the quintessential English country pub. Just a stone's throw from the beautiful Cotswolds and boasting roaring open fires for the winter months, open garden and apple orchard for the summer sun and a friendly welcome all year round.
With real ales and ciders aplenty this historical pub is a favourite with Real Ale lovers, and the welcoming atmosphere and good food attract visitors from all over the world.
Seasonal and local ingredients are prized, including our famous Asparagus menu in Spring.

Reservable tables are in the pub (standard) or undercover in our orchard (outdoor). There are lots of orchard picnic tables that are not reserved in advance, available for eating and drinking in the sunshine! Dogs are welcome throughout the pub & orchard.

This pub is famous for its pies and they didn’t disappoint. Good service alongside the excellent food despite it being a busy Friday evening. The tables are rustic and pretty close together but it’s a busy historic pub so it’s what you expect. Good choice of beer.

The Fleece is not only a very old old favourite with us, it housed within very old, original building. You scan virtually sit within the main fireplace, which has witchcraft signs on the floor. You dine on and around much of the original 17th century furniture used by the family that occupied the building before it became a pub - great history, great ambience and Nigel the Landlord makes this a place where many events happen with a true Cotswold welcome. BEST PUB ON WORCESTERSHIRE BY FAR!
