Location and Scenery
Pros:
"Beautiful scenery. Right by the side of the river, you can tell they focus on the food."
"Fantastic location next to river and 5 min walk from our holiday home. Dog friendly makes this perfect."
"The Fleet occupies a dreamy little spot on the River Avon."
"Lovely pub on the river, plenty of parking. Food was good."
"Great selection of beers and food is first rate. Gastro pub rather than standard pub grub."
"Perfect riverside pub, with excellent boutique rooms, meeting every need."
"The Fleet Inn at Twyning but we did eat there. Sitting in the garden under a heated cover with the dog watching the boats go by was amazing."
"Lovely setting by the river. We sat at a table by the river for a drink."
Cons:
"The only gripe we had was the positioning of the disabled parking spaces. There is not enough room to get out of a car."
"The area was quiet all night apart from the low sound of traffic on the M5 about half a mile away."
"One of the side dishes ordered with everything else was served after we had all finished eating the main meal."
"We ordered a wrap and a bowl of chips (separately) with 2 drinks - £21!"
"We stayed here as a last minute treat for ourselves. Overpriced coffee that was at least 50% foam."
"The food was nice, some things were forgotten (like no ice in a drink)."
"Poor quality and small portions. Will not be returning!"
"Frustrating visit. We booked (party of 2 adults, 2 kids under 10) and on arrival asked to sit outside."
Food Quality and Variety

"Fantastic meal on a Friday night. Food quality excellent."

"The food was fantastic - the burgers were amazing, so juicy and full of flavour."
"Great Sunday lunch, but most importantly was their brilliant gluten free choices."
"Had a snack this Sunday lunch time. It was a blast from the past. The food was excellent too."
"The food was delicious and the service was outstanding, I have already recommended to friends and family."
Cons:
"The waiting staff were unfailingly polite but were clearly up against problems in the bar and kitchen."
"However, was totally shocked at the price of the ales; over £12 for 2 pints, extremely expensive."
"Didn’t have a good experience but certain staff were amazing! Ordered starter and main course, table of 4, starters didn’t arrive."
"The food was to say the least disappointing. We ordered a beef burger and a chicken burger."
"Potentially a great Pub. Location excellent and staff were nice. Unfortunately food was average to be kind and hugely overpriced."
"Only had food and not impressed with the portion sizes or selection."
"Sorry but had quite a disappointing experience. Booked last minute as I was travelling up from Cornwall with a client."
"We were a party of 7 celebrating my wife's birthday. The meal and service was good and as loyalty members it was good value."
