  “Had a great curry last night at the Clarendon. I went for the Chicken Madras which was great, chicken cooked perfectly and it had just the right amount of kick that you would expect from a decent Madras. My friends had an assortment of meals all of which were well received. Service was great and we didn’t have to wait too long.”

  “Tried the new kitchen, and thought it was pretty good! Me and my mates split a large grill, two different curries, some breads and some chilli battered chips. The chicken clay pot was very nice, the fish curry was OK, the grill was OK, the bread was good, and the chips were good too. Overall we all really enjoyed our food. I’d definitely eat here again. The kitchen staff, and the barmaid were really friendly, and the service was quite prompt. As we went on a Friday before 7pm it was somehow quiet yet rowdy at the same time. Not sure I’d bring my family here. Overall, a good place for a decent meal on a Friday night with the guys.”

  “The classic “under new management” curse strikes again. I’ve been coming to this pub for 20 years, and my Dad for over 30, so this is genuinely baffling. On a match day of all days, the decisions being made to attract customers just don’t make sense. From the outset, 2 out of 3 real ales were out of service. Banks’s Amber, which has been consistently spot-on at the Clarendon for over a year - was cloudy and tasted off. I mentioned it when I went back up for another round; the staff apologised, but the barrel wasn’t changed. The next three pints were exactly the same. And just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse, they started pouring it into plastic cups. I told them I wasn’t about to hand my Dad - a customer of over 30 years, a beer in a plastic cup. After a bit of pushback, they let me keep the glass. We actually ended up keeping our glasses at the table and decanting the beer from plastic cups for the rest of the visit, as did pretty much every other table, all exchanging the same eye rolls. We were told the plastic glasses were being enforced due to concerns over match day violence, which is quite something. Apparently me, my pensioner-aged Dad, and his mates now fall into the “might glass someone” category. Cheers for that. In a later conversation with the landlady, the story changed. We were told the real reason for the plastic cups was that they only have one dishwasher, so it helps turn drinks around more quickly. Very environmentally friendly, obviously. Although, judging by how many customers were leaving because of it, they’ll certainly have no trouble keeping up with demand. The beer stayed cloudy throughout. Then, as if that wasn’t enough, they started blasting music so loud we couldn’t even hold a conversation. I spoke to another customer of around 20 years in the toilets; he said he’d come with his family, but they refused to come inside because of the noise and stayed outside instead. Meanwhile, people were walking around with fingers in their ears, shaking their heads, completely baffled. This somehow escalated into a full-blown DJ set with PA speakers. On a match day, they’d genuinely managed to clear the pub out. On the way out, a bloke turned to me and said, “I think I’ve got to find a new pub.” I couldn’t argue with him. If this continues, the pub is going to lose the loyal customers it’s built up over many years. Tina and the team had it running properly - great quality pints (in actual glasses), and an atmosphere where people could come in, have a drink, and talk to their mates. That’s what a pub is supposed to be. Not somewhere you have to fight to hold a conversation while drinking out of plastic cups.”

  “Lovely friendly staff, nice atmosphere and decor. We visited a great party in the upstairs room. We used the bar downstairs it was a Saturday night, so busy. We didn't try the pub food as the party hosts had outside caterers in. It had a nice atmosphere we would visit again.”

  “I have been to this pub many times. The food is lovely and the beer being next to the brewery is exceptional. Its £2.70 a pint on Mondays for cask ales. On this occasion I opted for a Guinness as I have a trip to Ireland planned. Tina served me and what a lovely pint of Guinness it was poured to the standard that Guinness set. I know this as I came back from Ireland only this summer and had a few over there.”
