About The Fleece

The Fleece is a traditional pub on Bondgate Without in Alnwick, housed in an early 19th-century, Grade II listed building opposite the historic Bondgate Tower. Set in Northumberland's well-known market town and close to The Alnwick Garden and other town-centre attractions, it presents itself as a family-friendly venue offering friendly service and homely charm. Local lore even tells of a secret tunnel once said to link the cellar to nearby Alnwick Castle, adding to the pub's sense of history and character.

The Fleece offers a fully stocked bar with world lagers, spirits, wines, cocktails and other drinks, alongside a food menu, and takes table reservations for those wanting to dine. Its position opposite Bondgate Tower and within easy reach of Alnwick Castle, The Alnwick Garden and the Bailiffgate Museum makes it a convenient base for visitors as well as a relaxed local for the surrounding community.
