Flying Fleece, Ambleside

Multi-storeyed part wooden, part stone, part window, building in a development of old mill buildings that includes the Ambleside Tap Yard, a coffee shop and a clothing shop. There’s a fair sized patio at the front separated from the Tap Yard by a low wall, then inside the counter is on the ground floor with table and chair seating on three further half floors. It’s an old mill and some kit remains on the top floor ceiling by the gents. Space is pretty tight as Ambleside is a busy place. Four hand pulls dispensing local ales from Bowness Bay and others in reasonable condition. On the busy Saturday in September the young staff were running around like blue arsed flies, it was nearly full and not really a relaxing pub visit, especially with the curse of the handle jug to deal with.
