Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Clarendon Arms
Being very close to Kenilworth Castle, this is understandably mostly a food-led pub, although the people around the bar area were generally there just for drinks by the look of things. Various small seating / dining areas, but the front room is notable for its colourful glazing in the main window. Temporarily, just Wye Valley Butty Bach (£4.30, and in great shape) available from the five handpumps, but a Church Farm cask ale is usually available too. Four craft beers from this pair of breweries were also served from the keg taps.

The Clarendon Arms is a pub with multiple small rooms close to Kenilworth Castle. It was my second stop in the town, as I was unsure of their current opening hours, believing that they closed during the afternoon on weekdays.
I was greeted once inside and directed to a table in the suntrap courtyard at the rear. As usual, I was asked if I had reserved. Whilst I can imagine it would be a good idea to reserve here given the small outdoor area, there was only one other party of 4 present, which made securing a table easy.
Just the solitary real ale is served. But this was Church Farm Harry's Heifer, which was in good condition. With chirpy service and a nice relaxing outdoor space, I struggled to find anything much better in Kenilworth.

Lovely old building in front of the castle, still with split rooms & large car park adjoining. Small sun trap paved area at rear. 5 real ales, average quality
