| Like The Snark, I'd also avoided this great pub since Barry left, after a hugely disappointing visit under the last regime (I think they did try, but it just didn't work). But after seeing the advert and write up in the local camra newsletter, I was tempted back in. It was a little quiet (about a dozen people midweek), but the beer was great: Greene King Mild, York Guzzler, St Peter's Best and Milkwood Nut Brown, with GK Abbott and IPA as ballast. We tried the food, and was quite impressed - nice chunky 8 oz steak (£11.45), thick bit of gammon with decent eggs and pineapple (about £9), both with massive chunky chips (proper chips), with a simple green side salad. I'd be tempted to say that the gammon and eggs was rival quality and value to The Geldart's (which is saying something). Good to see/hear regulars are drifting back, as it could do with a bit more of the old atmosphere. Most of the pub paraphenalia has gone, so it felt a bit 'empty', but I'm sure that will pick up as this pub is definitely back on the map. With the Elm Tree and Free Press just round the corner, this bit of town is now worth the discerning drinker spending the whole evening in again. mafting - 2 Apr 2012 00:11 |
| I'd given this pub a wide berth since the long standing landlord Barry left a couple of years ago, but now on a second change of regime I found myself back. Although the real community spirit seemed diluted, old regulars are coming back. Greedy King beers are what you get, but they are well kept and the guest list is expanding. Food looks good (but didn't eat), and bar staff smile nicely - necessary given the prices. This one's on the up... The_Snark - 31 Mar 2012 23:49 |
| This place used to be a great boozer and I have spent a lot of time over the years drinking away the hours in it with some good friends, I heard today that it has been taken over by the guys that run The Green Man in Grantchester which is my favourite pub in that village. I am really hoping that they make the Clarendon into something as special as that, they have loads of different beers and it’s just such a cool place to hangout. I am going to pop down this weekend and see how much the place is changed. ElgoodsLover - 18 Jan 2012 16:40 |
| Nice place. Stopped in for a quick half when I missed the bus, a pleasant surprise! jjsint - 11 Oct 2011 10:25 |
| This a great little oub with very freindly staff. The landlord was kind enough to lend me a ladder to get a shoe off the roof of a house (Another story entirely) on the promise that I A) brought the ladder back B) we came and drank in his pub. I'm glad i followed through with both of my promises. The beer was good as was the food, which was very reasonably priced. The pub was getting busy as we ate our food but this only added to this great little pub. Thanks for lending me the ladder. I would have been shoeless until returning to Suffolk!
