Nipped in week before last, for couple of pints and a bag of crisps, the Westons SP was good. Crisps not so good, oxidized, oo-er.!!
Any chance…? No probs, change my crisps for a fresh pack, thanks girls, no drama – just good service.

Before the floods had so much going for it - visited ‘The Fleet’ in early last year hated it.
However, popped in last week, pleased to see bit of a revival is taking shape. Pub is very clean, redecorated, bar kept tidy, staff willing and pleased to serve, and not too poncey. Outside, very tidy, overflow parking sorted, got rid of that mini-golf.

Is painting over the oak beams a sacrilegious heresy – one for Kevin McCloud perhaps.

As nominated driver, didn’t get much chance to sample the gear, fair range of ales, some Westons & Thatchers, food looks nice, few veggie items for ‘her indoors’, let you know, try it out next week.

Critical report next month. Bout time this old ladies fortunes were revived.

I grew up across the river from the Fleet, it used to be a fantastic pub, packed on a Friday, Saturday and Sunday night, the food was good as was the beer. The ferry across the river made a trip to the Fleet even more entertaining (plus drunken staggering back through fields of cows). About 10 or so years ago they spent a fair bit of money on the place and spent it on the wrong things (colonades and crazy golf in a village pub anyone?). This pub has the potential to be amazing, excellent location, the ferry, a flat pleasant 2 mile walk from Tewkesbury, the list goes on. Unfortunately the floods of 2007 seem to have killed it.

I went last night for the first time in 5+ years and left feeling depressed that such a mighty pub had fallen so far. The bar, which on a Sunday would've been packed with regulars and visitors was empty bar a slovenly looking youth in a vest eating chips (who seemed to work there) and a rather unpleasant barmaid. The choice of ale is limited to 'Bitter' advertised with a piece of card attached to the pump, no idea what it actually was (it wasn't too bad to be fair) with a number of empty pumps. The inside was grubby and all the furniture in the beer garden had seen better days. The moorings haven't been renewed since the floods thereby stopping any passing nautical custom. We stayed for one drink and left, feeling sad that someone could allow a pub which could make an absolute fortune in one of the best locations in the country to deteriorate so dramatically.

On the plus side we then went to the Village Inn, where the landlord and locals were friendly and welcoming and they had Doom Bar and Wickwar BOB on tap which made me feel slightly better.

Came across this pub and was impressed with its riverside location, but the place looked so filthy on the inside and outside that we didn't dare stay to eat or drink there.

Just as well given the apalling reviews on this site. Sounds like we had a lucky escape!

I live a 5 minute walk from this pub in a lovely village called Twyning with the beautiful river Avon flowing through. The scenery is lovely and the place magic IMO... BUT this pub is the WORST, MOST AWFUL, ROTTEN, FOUL, DISGUSTING place on planet earth I kid you not, don’t stay here, don’t drink here, and certainly do not eat here..... See the river take a drink from the shop and then go to the other pub in the village ‘the village inn’. When I think about it more I lose my words, the pub could be fantastic, but it could well be the worst pub EVER, well done landlord!
