The Fleece Inn, Hillesley

Three colleagues and me stayed nearby during Badminton Horse Trials in May. We ate in The Fleece every night (which says something). It was great! A warm welcome from Andy and his staff, and excellent beer, well-kept. The menu was a little bit limited, but that was more than offset by the fact that the pub cooks lots of local produce -spare veg from the locals' allotments and beef from (literally) over the road. Not expensive and a proper pub with the right mix of places for drinking beer, eating, watching the footie, and seculed corners for more intimate chats. I hope to get back there before May next year when, doubtless we will all be back.
