Meet Mark Parkinson, the proud owner of The Fleece.
A true local from Barkisland, Mark started his journey here as a chef before working his way up to General Manager and eventually becoming owner — so it’s safe to say The Fleece is in his blood!
When he’s not making sure everything runs perfectly, you’ll usually find him lovingly mowing the lawns, admiring the gardens he’s so proud of, or enjoying a well-earned pint of Guinness.
Mark genuinely cares about the venue, every guest who walks through the door, and the local community that makes The Fleece so special.
