Duke of Clarence — Restaurant in London

🚇 Gloucester Road 🍺 £5.80 Pravha ❤️ A warm and welcoming good all rounder. . The Duke of Clarence is located on busy Old Brompton Road where South Kensington meets Earls Court. The nearest tube is Gloucester Road which is a five minute walk. . This pub was built in 1870 by Trumans. The pub has had a couple of interesting names over the years like ‘The Great British Beer Factory’ and ‘The Bram Stoker’, the famous author was a resident of these parts. . The decor here is traditional with some contemporary touches here and there. The walls are painted in a dark green and are covered in an eclectic mix of artwork and pictures. There is plenty of seating which is predominantly all low level, I sat on one of the comfy banquettes which are illuminated by beautiful pendant lights. There are some nice other features like the green tiled columns and the backlit bookcase. . The beer selection was good and included cask ale. I opted for a pint of Pravha, my pint great if a little lively and cost less than six quid. As this was my last pub of the day, I decided to have some Fish & Chips from the classic British pub grub menu. I really enjoyed the food, price point was £17.50. If you visit on a Sunday, the roast diners here receive rave reviews. . I visited around 4pm on a dank Saturday afternoon back in January. The atmosphere was relaxed, calm and the pub was warm and cosy. The bar wasn’t overly busy with half a dozen or so punters in. There was a couple with their brown Labrador, an American couple and a fella sat at the bar with his earbuds in having a bit of a ding dong with whoever was on the other end. The pub was easy to settle in to and I watched a bit of the rugby on one of the five screens. On that note, if you like your footy, the pub shows live Premier League. . @thedukeofclarence was a nice visit and I very much enjoyed my time here. My pint was great and I really enjoyed the food. The setting is traditional and you felt you were in a proper pub. If you’re a sports fan, you’ll be well catered for too. a good all rounder this, definitely worth a visit. . ℹ️ Info correct on...

We had a Christmas party here in December 2024 and it was absolutely brilliant. The price we paid for the set meal was good value, as the food was superb, with enough of a selection to keep everyone happy! George and his team were able to accommodate 18 of us, which was amazing, not only for the space required, but for the logistics of keeping all of us happy!! The atmosphere in the pub was great, and as more people filed in whilst the businesses nearby closed, it only got better. There is an excellent selection of wine, beer and soft drinks, the pub looks great (in an old fashioned London drinking den style!) and was decorated for Christmas brilliantly. I can't believe I've worked in the area for 10 years and never visited before - this won't be the last...

The service was good although there was only one waitress working for most of the time and the Eastern European woman on the bar when we arrived was particularly aggressive. The food was fine although the mash for the sausages was cold. What really ruined the meal was that the men's loos were disgusting from 2pm. I asked the barman to have a look and maybe clean them up a bit and was ignored. By 4pm they were worse, with urine all over the floor and used loo roll scattered all over, I asked again and was ignored. By 4:30pm there was vomit in the urinals and again my request was ignored. We had intended to stay for dinner but by this point the loos were...
