The Fleece & Flagon is Craft Union's prestigious 600th pub opening. Fully refurbished and redesigned earlier this year. It's operated by a single bar to the left as you enter the pub. There is a capacity to hold seating for around 50 people with a mixture of loose and fixed seating. The internal trading areas are decorated with beautiful features such as traditional ceiling beams and exposed brick walls. The trading areas are light and airy, along with modern colour schemes these areas create a warm and homely feel to the pub.
Externally, the front of the pub opens directly onto Corn Street allowing an opportunity to appeal to passing trade. Additionally, to the rear of the pub, there is a small patio area offering seating for approximately 20 people. This area has the potential to be developed and become a major asset to the business, especially during the summer months.
Witney has a population of around 25,000 and is located 12 miles west of Oxford and at the start of the Cotswolds. The pub is surrounded by open countryside, making it a truly beautiful place to live and work. There are plenty of amenities nearby, such as supermarkets, schools and restaurants.
