Our historic mill building has recently been refurbished and the interiors have been designed to create a relaxing and cosy atmosphere that retains that recognisable traditional British pub feel.
About Our Name
Our pub is a cleverly restored Grade II building dating from the 15th Century that once operated as a fulling mill – hence our quirky name ‘The Flying Fleece’ which links to the heritage of our unique Lakeland building.
The working weir, millrace, wheel and various pieces of machinery are carefully retained and can still be admired.

Ben Anderson28/11/2021Fantastic Service & very tasty food! Amazing service. Callum couldn't do enough for us, very attentive. Great range of drinks, something for everyone and they arrived within seconds after ordering. Food was delicious, we had a pie of the day and half roast chicken. Both piping hot and served very fast. We would definitely recommend to visit this establishment! We will be back soon!
LB238419/11/2021Great first impressions We came for dinner this week, it was fairly quiet and we got seated straight away, we chose our own table. The staff on duty could not have done more for us, they where so friendly and took the time to chat to us. I’m sorry I didn’t get their names (young girl with glasses and tall lad with fair hair) both extremely helpful and kind. The food was excellent, portion sizes where great and really good value for money. The Christmas decorations looked lovely and we cannot wait to come back. Thank you again 😊
