The Fleece Countryside Inn: 2 AA Rosette Modern British Dining in Barkisland

A historic base in the Ryburn Valley

The Fleece Countryside Inn sits in Barkisland, offering Modern British cooking within a venue built in 1737. Stone walls frame the dining room, while large windows look out over the Ryburn Valley countryside. Guests find a blend of rustic character and contemporary comfort throughout the space.

Local sourcing and culinary recognition

The kitchen earned two AA rosettes for 2026 by focusing on ingredients sourced from nearby farms and suppliers. Chefs prepare dishes ranging from traditional country staples to gourmet preparations. They merge classic techniques with innovative flavours to define their Modern British cuisine, ensuring seasonal produce leads every plate.

House-made cocktails and evening service

The bar team crafts signature cocktails using homemade syrups alongside fruit purees and dried fruits. Guests enjoy 2-for-1 deals on selected bespoke creations between Thursday and Saturday from 4pm to 8pm. A dedicated events team also plans weddings and private parties, supporting the inn's role as a central gathering place for the community.
