The Clarence — Restaurant in Hastings

My partner and I decided to try this pub for a quick pint thinking that it would be pleasant local experience, my oh my was it anything but. Upon walking on the door we were rudely told to sanitise our hands, not a problem until the lady behind the bar encouraged the patrons in the pub to laugh at us along with her for not knowing where the (terribly placed, by the door under a table) sanitiser was. I ordered my drinks and mentioned about opening a tab which obviously wasn't heeded as a moment later she came stomping out to the beer garden, announcing, once again to everyone in the garden that I have yet to pay for my drinks, encouring laughter in my direction. Being marched back to the bar to pay for my drinks was highly embarrassing as she made it her personal mission to highlight to everybody on the way through that I hadn't paid.

Disgusting manners, behaviour and service on their part.

If you are a rude bigot then this is almost certainly the place for you, I certainly will not be returning and God help you if you choose to visit because customer service is not in the forefront of their minds, however personal embarrassment is right up their street.

Only plus side I can think of is relatively cheap drinks, only thing they have going for them in this crisis...

Hi The Clarence is great good but it would be even better if you didn't have them big tables in the way so people can dance a bit better and you can get a few more people in as well but other than that it's brilliant the bands of lovely what going there brilliant outside for smoking if you want to very friendly pub to go to I've been going there for...

This pub will be really good . The MAIN thing that is letting it down is the OBNOXIOUS BENEFIT CHEAT that sits on the boundary n tries to sing. AVOID AVOID AVOID. no wonder why wetherspoons , Yates n Moda are busy in the daytime and the clarence is virtually empty , it's so they DON'T have him...
