A very cosy environment and a busy atmosphere gave the Fleece a really nice buzz. There was some big tables in enjoying Xmas work meals and so we were advised that service may be a little slower but in fact everything went very smoothly. The staff were all very friendly and professional despite being busy All the food was delicious, the service excellent and the choice of 0% beer very good! Portions were decent, there were some nice ‘gastro’ touches like the crisp chicken skin accompanying the Chicken Schnitzel and the truffle mayo. And the Tiramisu was stunning! All in all, great food, friendly service and a cosy venue

About the restaurant

The Bear & Ragged Staff in Cumnor is a world away from the Newbury & Swindon roads that stream past only a mile from its door. The heart of the pub is a glorious Tudor beauty. Ancient fireplaces, flagstone floors, and mullioned windows with carved lintels make the bar one of the finest anywhere. A comfortable eatery, conservatory, and South-facing terrace provide spaces for every mood – and winding stairs lead to cosy bedrooms with old oak doorways and beamed ceilings.

We had the Christmas set menu so hard to say what the food is like overall. We will go again definitely to have a calmer experience as Christmas was just too full on for us. The staff were absolutely brilliant, went over and above to help with anything.

Wonderful old coaching Inn, have used it for ~50 years! The food was very good, the wine list excellent and the ambience of both the bar and the ballroom restaurant excellent. It is quite expensive, but definitely a real experience (culinary and ambience) and way above the usual level of pubs/restaurants locally.
