The Clarence — Restaurant in London

🚇 Green Park 🍺 £6.15 Pravha ❤️ A classy oasis off Piccadilly. . The Clarence is located just off Piccadilly and is just a stones throw from The Ritz Hotel. Getting here is easy, Green Park Tube Station is a couple of minutes walk away. . The original pub on this site was The Coach & Horses and was built in 1724. This pub was rebuilt in 1892 and again in 1953, this pub is named after the Duke of Clarence who became King William IV in 1830. To left of the pub used to be Dover Street Tube station, it was demolished in 1966 and replaced by Green Park station. . The decor here is traditional but the pub does have a modern feel to it due to the bar being well illuminated due to the lack of windows. The walls are a mix of light paint and dark wood panelling, dotted around are historical prints linked to the area. The seating here is all low level with a cosy area at the rear of the bar. Upstairs is another bar with a smart and comfortable dining area. . The beer choice was pretty good and included three cask options for the cultured quaffers. As this was my first pub visit of the day, I thought I would ease myself in to the day with a Pravha. My pint was very enjoyable and the price point was ok all things considered. The food menu is full of British classics with an emphasis on hearty pies. A Steak and Ale with mash and veg costs £16, good old Fish & Chips costs the same. . I visited just after midday on a Saturday and there were a dozen or so punters in attendance. The atmosphere was relaxed and chilled, a few of us were watching Football Focus on mute catching up on all the football stats. The soundtrack was soft rock classics to help you settle in to your time here. The two Guys on duty were very polite to all they served, they made me feel very welcome. . @theclarencemayfair is a welcoming retreat away from the humdrum of the comings and going’s around Piccadilly. This @nicholsonspubs is what are American cousins would call “A Classy Joint” and I couldn’t fault it. If you ever need a breather if you’re in the area, this calm oasis has got you. . ℹ️ Info correct on...

We had to leave!! The worst experience ever. We had made dinner reservations at 9pm for last Saturday. As soon as we got there the waitress in a very bad way said that we had to order right away because the kitchen was closing. That she didn't even know how we got the reservation. When my husband asked for the scotch list, she said they didn't have a list, that they only had one to offer and that it was the best. She told him to go downstairs to the bar but that he had to ordered food before if he wanted to eat. While my husband was downstairs getting his drink she started to make fun of him saying that even if he found something there, he would have to go get it himself that she wasn't going to go get it for him, that she would just give him something different and that he wouldn't even know. When my husband came back, the drinks menu was on the table and said to her why didn't you give me this when I asked for the scotch list and she said that it wasn't necessary because he wouldn't be able to tell the difference. I think she's probably used to deal with drunk people but in our case we were there with our family and had never seen a waitress with so much lack of education.. We decided to leave and she said we couldn't that we had to pay for the water, my husband said he wasn't paying for anything that he wanted to see the manager and she said she was the manager, then my husband said okay let me know how much for the water and then she said we didn't have to pay, she was very excited. First I didn't even want to take the time to write the review but I want to let others know what they could experience if...
