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

Pros:

  • "Fantastic meal on a Friday night. Food quality excellent."
  • "The food and service was brilliant. Sitting in the garden under a heated cover was amazing."

Cons:

  • "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."

  • "Sorry but had quite a disappointing experience. Booked last minute as I was travelling up from Cornwall with a client."
