Announcement from Rod about COVID-19 & Re-Opening:
The first thing I want to say is a huge THANK YOU to everyone who’s supported us over the last few months, buying takeaway beer, cider and wine week in/week out. You have been amazing.
However, The Fleece will not be reopening on the 4th of July, as we feel it is still unsafe to do so. This has not been an easy decision.
The infection rate is still high and we consider it too much of a risk in our current circumstances.
This is for a number of reasons, but it would be especially difficult to maintain adequate social distance inside the building. We will be monitoring the situation very closely over the coming weeks and listening to the advice given out by the independent body SAGE.
My duty, first and foremost, is to protect our staff and you, our loyal customers. Good news is we will be continuing our beer and wine delivery service on Fridays. So you can enjoy everything we have to offer from the comfort of your own homes and gardens.
We have a fine selection of wines and an ever-changing range of beers in our bag-in-boxes, freshly poured on the day.
Check out the facebook page for this week's line up, announced on Monday's for delivery the same week on a Friday.
We will update you on our plans as soon as possible and look forward to seeing you all soon. Hopefully in the not too distant future! Thank you again for your continued support and understanding in these very challenging times.
Rod & The Fleece x


Welcome to The Fleece, Hillesley. We hope you will be delighted with our quintessential Cotswold pub. Our commitment to our customers is first and foremost and as a team we strive to ensure that your experience here will be the best possible.

An inclusive Pub
Our aim is to offer an inclusive and friendly environment to both our local community and visitors’ further afield. Whilst we welcome families we kindly request that children are supervised and respectful of the pub environment.

Your four legged friends are welcome too – fresh water and dog treats are always on tap. We require dogs to be kept on a lead and clear of walkways so as not to a cause a trip hazard to other customers.  We do not allow dogs in the restaurant areas.

We are fortunate to be surrounded by beautiful countryside with the Cotswold Way just minutes from our doorstep. Walkers are kindly requested to leave muddy boots outside or in the porch.

Food and Drink
Our passion for Real Ale sits high on our priority list and is a strong contributing factor to winning the Dursley and District CAMRA pub of the year 2018 that was announced just 15 months into running the business - not a bad accolade!

We have up to seven Real Ales available at any one time and amongst the line up are our regulars: The Wye Valley Brewery’s, Butty Bach (Welsh for ‘little friend’) and Sharps Atlantic. The remaining line up showcases some of the best ales from around the UK and we actively encourage customers to sample them – or even try a Paddle of 3 Thirds.
