Official site of the Clarendon Arms with menus and wine list - www.clarendonarmspub.co.uk

A detached Georgian looking cream rendered pub and eatery, with some green paintwork. A part of the Mint Pubs chain, it has bay windows and whilst narrow, it has an extensive extension at the back. There is also a rear patio area. The interior is in general one long room, though it has separate parts. As you walk in via the front entrance the front room is more for dining and is mainly in red, with coloured front glass and a fireplace. Walking through the pub you then come to a narrow section with the serving bar on the right with some brown perimeter seating opposite. This section is in cream and coffee, with wood floor and white ceiling. There is a TV, which wasn't on and the general music was soft. Further up there is another dinig section, also in cream and coffee with wood floor and white ceiling. There were some landscape pictures on the walls and some old Guinness adverts. The service was fine and the small clientele mixed. Beer; usual tap stuff, Wye Valley Butty Bach, Church End Vicar's Ruin, a decent Wood Farm Brewery's 1823 MILD and Slaughter House Brewery's Whilst this is in general more of a dining pub, the beer choice here was excellent and without a doubt i would return here.

A popular pub with three beers on tap, plus Scrumpy Jack & Strongbow cider. Quite extensive, although it's quite narrow in places which means there aren't loads of tables. We were lucky to get somewhere to sit. Food is pretty good, and reasonably priced. Both our main courses were around £8 and we were very pleased with them.
