The Fleece, Ilkley

Stone built but extended dales pub, a two bar set up, a sign in the entrance vestibule directs one to mucky boots snd mutts to the left and posh frocks and high heels to the right. Having left my high highs and posh frock at home I plumped for the Tap Room on the left. The right hand bar is basically a restaurant on a slightly higher level located to the rear and right, there is a big table at the front possibly for drinkers. Four keg taps and three pulls in here. The Tap Room is a pleasant narrow room with a wood burner in a neat stone fireplace at one end and a short counter on the right, it was unstaffed but a notice pointed me at the restaurant for service. Three pulls here with the same two choices as the restaurant, Craven BYB and Saltaire Raspberry Blonde, nowt on the third. Six tall kegs taps that could do with a polish, and nothing remarkable being served. Bench seat in the front window with button back banquette in the main body of the room to one side, high stools and a drinking shelf down the other. Laminate floor looking like boards and the walls and ceiling are in tongue & groove. Pleasant but functional I suppose sums it up, I gave the beer 2.5.
