About Clarendon Arms
On Castle Hill in Kenilworth, Clarendon Arms is a gastropub with pine floors, stained glass and castle views, pouring prosecco on tap alongside local beer. The kitchen runs homemade lasagne, a giant Yorkie with roast beef, and Hunters Chicken, plus a burger with twice cooked chips and coleslaw. Sunday brings roast dinners with large Yorkshire puddings and roasted joints, and the Fryday deal pairs fish and chips for two with a bottle of wine, upgradeable from Chilean to New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. A happy hour runs on drinks. The pub is walk-in, with separate dog friendly and non-dog areas, and staff give treats to dogs. The front room can be booked for groups wanting a more private spot near the bar. Parking is on-street, limited to two hours without a permit, or at a nearby NCP with charges.

Customer Review Summary
The Friday Fish n Chips deal draws repeated praise, with reviewers calling out huge chips, crispy battered halloumi and fish, and a bottle of wine included for the price. Close behind, the homemade Sunday roasts get singled out as some of the best around, with roast joints and Yorkshire puddings "as big as your head," alongside favorites like the Hunters Chicken, a burger with twice-cooked chips, and sticky toffee pudding with custard on request. Staff are consistently described as friendly, welcoming, and attentive, with one diner noting a spilled cider was replaced before they could apologize. The pub's dog friendly areas and separate non-dog sections come up often, as does the good value for money across the Christmas menu and family lunches. The recurring gripe is parking, with reviewers noting on-street limits or NCP charges nearby, and one mentioning new increased charges are putting some people off. Several reviewers say they booked ahead for busy Friday sittings and plan to return.

“Had a lovely night catching up with friends. As we were a party of 8 we were given a table at the front of the pub which was great as rest of the room was empty. The rest of pub was busy so would have been very noisy 🙄 Food & service was amazing & we will definitely be back + Prosecco was on tap which I'd never heard of.”

“We visited the Clarendon Arms on Tuesday after seeing a recommendation on here the day before. We were greeted by very friendly staff, menu had a good selection of proper pub food (we opted for the homemade lasagne and giant yorkie with roast beef). Food was fresh, tasty and well priced. There are also separate dog friendly and non dog areas which suits all. We took our puppy and she was fussed and given some treats. A gem in the town although they have said people are put off by the new increased parking charges. We will be back again very soon!”

“Wonderful pub in Kenilworth. The team are super friendly and accommodating. The Friday Fish deal is a steal, and I really enjoyed my sticky toffee pudding (extra points as you can request custard) would visit again!”
