Fleece Inn Haworth The Fleece, a no-nonsense three-storey stone pub, is halfway up, or halfway down, the lung-bursting steep hill which is Haworth’s main street.
(1383)

A traditional pub with rooms in the heart of Bronte country, on the famous cobbled Main Street, a Timothy Taylors pub with award winning ales, homemade food including fantastic pies
Also very dog friendly, and 2 real fires too. Your approach depends on your point of pilgrimage. Most tourists are here for the Brontës. The Parsonage, now a fascinating museum, is where Charlotte, Emily, Anne and their ill-starred brother, Branwell, lived. That is at the very top of the hill, behind the church. Other visitors, however, are fans of the 1970 film The Railway Children. They head for Haworth railway station, which is at the bottom of the village. The cream-on-green sign and the handsome etched windows of The Fleece announce a world famous local brewery, Timothy Taylor’s, of nearby Keighley. Enter and you find yourself in a comfortable old-fashioned wainscoted interior. The bar has a flag floor, so hikers & dogs can safely clatter in. Around the bar are several cosy and carpeted nooks and crannies. There are the expected photos of old Haworth and the Brontës, but down in the dining room, you’ll find portraits of the stars of The Railway Children as well. Other visitors are here for the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway, with it's steam & diesel trains, just down the cobbles from the Fleece. (Or a bit of a drag uphill from the station for a well-deserved pint or two)

For beer enthusiasts, the sight of a rank of gleaming pumps on the bar, displaying Timothy Taylor’s beers, is a stirring sight. Landlord Pale Ale is the famous one, approved of by Madonna, no less. There’s also Ram Tam, which is Landlord enhanced with caramel and molasses to produce a winter ale. There’s Boltmaker (formerly known as Best Bitter), Golden Best (a light mild) and a rotating option usually either the Dark Mild or an offering from a Yorkshire independent brewery. You can continue the beery theme with your food. Home-made pies and gravies use Landlord and Ram Tam. Batter for fish is made with Golden Best. The menu is honest and locally sourced. Ah, Timothy Taylor’s beers, meat pies and a brass band – there’s a taste of real Yorkshire.

Not all invitations are complicated.

Open daily from 12noon for award winning ales, great food and the vibe of a traditional, warm local pub.

Once upon an All Hallows' Eve, a poor lonely sheep had been cruelly shorn by a rogue, sheep-shearing scoundrel.

For fun.

Feeling embarrassed by his lack of coat, (and more than a little chilly), he donned a white sheet and stumbled across the dark and windy moors he called home, bleating mournfully.

"Baaa," he cried at the barren landscape, "baaa..."

"This way," a faint voice called out.

The poor, lonely, shorn sheep looked through the eye holes he'd made in his sheet and was terrified to see four spirits floating above him.

"By 'eck tha scared t'bejeezus outta mi", he stammered, "who are you?"

"Jim", "Jack", "Jonny", "and José", the four spirits replied in turn, "you said you wanted a bar, we'll show you the best one".

So, the poor lonely sheep, (who was sick of his own moaning company), followed the four spirits to an old cobbled str**t and the doors of an old Taylor's inn.

"What is this place?" the poor lonely sheep asked.

"It's the Fleece Inn, the best bar in Haworth!" replied Jim
"Great food, all day, everyday", said Jack
"Award winning ales too", added Jonny
"...and tonight all ghouls and ghosts are welcome", quipped José

"The Fleece, eh?" said the poor lonely sheep, looking through the window and spotting a roaring fire, "sounds like my kind of baa".

He ordered a Ram Tam and sat near the fire, and... apart from the bit where Trudy threw his nekked, sheetless butt out, he had a 'r**t good night'.

The End

Happy Hallowe'en!
