The 'new' Clarendon seems very much a food-oriented pub despite the four ales on tap; it is a pub but on first sight I wasn't sure that it was, rather than a restaurant.
It doesn't have a lot of character in the fittings but the staff are friendly, and the food was good, the vegetables flavoursome - none of your frozen afterthought here. The second bar is a curious thing: I suspect it may once have been part of the building next door but was annexed by the Clarendon at some point.
In all a fairly resto-pub experience but one which seemed to please the recently-arrived Americans at the next table to mine.

In reply to the comment posted on the 7th April 05' I've lived in the area all my life and its always been called The Clarendon.(look up at the top of the building). 'The Counry Pub' came about a few years ago along with the lowering of the ceiling and the brass on the walls! Those of us that know the pub lost our old Victoria 'Local' for quite a few years so i'm really pleased to see the old pub back with its original name - staff are friendly and beer is good. It has a nice unpretentious feel about it and bridges the pub/wine bar 'thing' really well.

Agree with the last comment but will say that at last someone has had the style and business sense to create a decent trendy place in Pimlico. The area is bustling and wealthy and yet has nothing but old mans pubs. Good effort and a decent pint!

Went last night, reminded me of the Natwest ad where they change your branch into a trendy wine bar. Gone is the character and in are polished wooden flooring and a new name - The Clarendon.
Having said that the Youngs was a good pint and the smoke has somewhere to go now they've doubled the ceiling height.
If you knew it as the country pub, worth a visit just to see the transformation!

One of the better pubs in the Victoria area; having said that that is akin to calling Burger King one of the better eateries at a motorway service station.

Fairly good beer, fairly good food, nice fire, amusing decor (I agree Seb), far enough from BPR/Victoria Street that the hordes coming through won't find it by accident. Not a place to go with a large crowd though.
