Our little island was the birthplace of U.K. aviation. We also used to be called the Isle of Sheep. With this in mind we themed our Micropub and became The Flying Sheep. We serve real cask ales, spirits and ciders. We are Camra members, and are in the In the Good Beer Guide. We only opened August 2018, so we are really pleased to have been recognised for the quality of our ales in such a short time. Hope you have a great time with us.
