I went to the Clarendon Arms today for Sunday lunch and it was fantastic. From the moment I phoned a few days back to book the staff were so accommodating, friendly and couldn't do enough for you.
I booked for 12:15 for 3 people (one toddler and an older person who needed to be downstairs) I was accommodated perfectly with a highchair and spacious downstairs table.
We all had roast dinners; pork, lamb and a kids beef. It was all perfect! With my pork I had stuffing, Yorkshire pudding, apple sauce, crackling, a roast carrot and parsnip, roast potatoes and gravy. There was also a side of mixed veg for us to share. The cost is very reasonable for the quality of food you get. The childs meal included a free dessert too!
I had chocolate torte for dessert which is meant to come with raspberry sorbet but I requested cream instead which was done no problem. Nan had a massive slab of bread and butter pudding with custard and my daughter had a chocolate brownie sundae.
The staff were back and forth checking that we were okay and had what we needed, all of them were smiley and friendly.
We had 2 adults mains, 2 adults desserts, kids meal with dessert, bottle of appletizer and a glass of wine which was £60. Very reasonable indeed for such a lovely place.
Massive car park out the back, pay and display. £2.50 for up to 3 hours.
I haven't been to this pub in years but I'll definitely come back soon and recommend to family and friends! (I'm already planning my Nans birthday meal here lol).
I have included photos of my main and dessert.

Read moreCheck this pub out, it’s around the corner from the queen & castle pub, which is opposite Kenilworth castle… This is a dog friendly pub! It isn’t over priced for food or drinks. The bar man who served us at lunch time (03/04/23) was very accommodating and friendly. He made us feel very welcome. (On the day we visited they stopped serving food at 2pm, although the menu said 3pm? Kenilworth is a stunning town, if you’re there to visit the castle… we recommend refreshments at the Clarendon then a walk through park and around the town. There are a lot of different buildings to admire. If you do visit the castle, it’s worth knowing it’s a public footpath that goes around the castle. If you wish to pay to go in, you must purchase tickets at the visitor centre prior to entering the castle grounds. Robert Dudley, was the 1st Earl of Leicester, KG, PC (24 June 1532 – 4 September 1588) was an English statesman and the favourite of Elizabeth I from her accession until his death.

Read moreAs strangers to the area, Trip Advisor pointed us in the direction of The Clarendon Arms. Although it was late afternoon, many families were enjoying their food, and we had wondered whether we would be waiting long for our meals.
I chose the lamb roast, whilst my partner opted for fish and chips, which almost appeared before we had a chance to make inroads into our drinks.
I am inclined to comment that my roast dinner was one of the best pub roasts I have had for a very long time. To make room on my plate for a variety of fresh vegetables, I ate the tasty Yorkshire Pudding using my hands! The roast potatoes melted in your mouth, the generous lamb portion soaked in a lovely gravy went down equally as quickly, leaving an empty plate before my partner had bearly devoured even half of her well cooked fish.
The industrious staff are a credit to the landlord, and if we return to this neck of the woods, we will head directly to The Clarendon Arms.
A competitively priced menu, generous sized portions meant that we left without tasting a pudding, as our...
