The Fleece, Whitby

To the left of the entrance of the Fleece is an L-shaped bar counter that faces seating along the rear wall and a small seating area done up like a drawing room to the left. High tables are found in the right rear and out the back is a waterside decked terrace that looks upon a jetty that was piled high with crab/lobster pots, so yes it was a bit fishy. Standard keg was available alongside Birra Moretti and Heineken. The three hand pumps were drawing Whitby Brewery’s IPA, Wainwright and Black Sheep. Coba and pasties were also available from a display case on the bar. The service was efficient, if not the most welcoming, and the tourists all decided to queue single file from the counter through the pub. I walked around them all and was served straight away on the drawing room side of the bar that was empty. What is wrong with people these days??

Back to front pub with the bar at the rear facing the harbour. Room to the left of the bar. Three weak real ales, the rest keg.

Another decent pub just away from the tourists. 3 beers on including Whitby Saltwick Nab and Abbeydale Moonshine. The moonshine was a good pint. Glad I called in.
