We have done it!
After 16 years of renting the Old Fleece,  we have finally purchased the freehold from Punch Taverns. We must extend our thanks to friends and family and, of course the bank, who have made this transaction possible.
By purchasing the freehold, the long term future of both the Old Fleece and the Group that has grown from this building is secured.

Nick and Christophe took the tenancy in 1993 and became known locally for their French cuisine and bistro style bar and restaurant. Their success  provided for swift local expansion, now including the Britannia and Tipputs in Nailsworth, The Old Lodge on Minchinhampton Common and the Fostons Ash near Birdlip. Their business, which is still based at the Old Fleece, employs 120 people and is a major contributor to the Stroud Valley economy.

The Old Fleece was a hostelry from the mid-19th century and in the 1850's became the posting-house between Gloucester and Petty France, with stabling for the coach horses and accommodation for drivers. 
Plans for the future include refurbished toilet facilities, terraced dining areas and the food service extended throughout the afternoon.
