Duke of Clarence in Kensington and Chelsea - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Excellent bar ....good Guinness

Jennifer, Ieva & Maria provided excellent service and the scotch egg was delicious!

Fantastic pub for lunch or dinner (we had both, visited twice). Staff were lovely and welcoming, food was traditional and impeccably executed, and decor was quintessentially English pub! An absolute must to visit!

Service was outstanding. Food was incredible, great atmosphere. Reasonably priced and family friendly. Highly recommend for dinner 🥘 or a drink 🥃.

Used to be my fav pub 15 yrs ago, now it’s just a shadow of itself

One of my favorite pubs in this part of town. A little more upscale. Has on the games and friendly staff.

Great pub near to Gloucester Road tube. 5 screens showing sport, one of them very big. Food was very good quality for what was a quiet day. Bar staff service was really excellent with on more than one occasion bringing drinks to the table rather than waiting at the bar. Interior is homely and well decorated. Two tables roadside if you want to be in the sun.

Bar staff service was really excellent with on more than one occasion bringing drinks to the table rather than waiting at the bar - especially the girl who worked Friday from Midday through the afternoon.

I had a fantastic experience at The Duke of Clarence thanks to the outstanding service from the bartender, Sam. The pub was also lovely setting to watch the football Euros. Highly recommend, top notch service!

Staff are always so friendly and helpful. It has a welcoming atmosphere, dog friendly and great place to watch the sport in!

Stopped in for a pint and had a really great time! The atmosphere was perfect, super chill (but not sleepy) with a great playlist. Our bartender Sam was great! Very friendly and easy to talk to. We’ll definitely be coming back here!

Good spot with nice beer selection. Sam was great.

We had booked a large table for a pub lunch and had a nice time, although service could have been a bit more reactive. A part from the barman, other staff members looked half asleep and made us feel like a nuisance. This is isn’t a high quality gastro-pub experience as the website promotes. It felt like your standard drinks pub that happens to do fish & chips and a Caesar salad. They weren’t prepared to receive us, tables weren’t drawn together upon arrival, we didn’t have enough chairs and tables were all very sticky. A pub is a pub, but we had picked this one for a special gastro-pub experience, which it wasn’t at all.

Talia was wonderful to chat with, quick service and pleasant atmosphere. Great place to have a meal and watch Wimbledon.

The food and atmosphere was amazing… We were happy with eveything. Talia was the best, she made our experience of the place even better💫

Sweet spot with a nice setup! Talia brought great energy!

Good food. Lovely service. Great place to watch sports. Am a local and this area has a brilliant vibe. Ferrari garage is a plus.

Awesome roast meals! Great festive atmosphere - catered for all possible sporting events televised on the day!

Booked a table to watch the England v Denmark - asked to be near a TV and got a great spot. Ordered most of our drinks and food on the app - easy to use and everything arrived quickly. Staff were all friendly and attentive. Lovely evening, thanks

Fantastic beer, great service. Excellent pub

Great to watch sport and nice crowd

I was hungry so I came for fish and chips. It turned out to be a very delicious and wonderful meal, just as I had heard. The ordering system is through an app, but as a Japanese person, I couldn't use my iPhone. We were treated by a wonderful staff.

Went there for a Sunday roast with family. Chicken and pork roasts were fine, not great, but at least edible. Beef roast was a disaster. I literally could not cut through the meat with my knife and the one tiny piece I was able to saw off, I needed to swallow as a whole… As it was medium rare, I am really wondering what quality of beef are they using? Pls change the supplier, or hire a new cook, or possibly both… Staff apologized for the bad quality but still charged for a full portion and 12,5% service fee (apparently I should have complained earlier, not at the end).

We waited 50 minutes to be told that they didn’t have mash for my hamburger, and also that because of that they hadn’t cooked my hamburger. That 50 minutes was the norm. They wouldn’t last a week as an American restaurant.

Wonderful food and drink , great atmosphere !

The best place in South Ken! Jennifer and Rich were amazing. Highly recommend

Decent Young's pub not far from Gloucester Road Underground Station. Two cask beers on handpump when I visited. Some outdoor seating.

Excellent pub a stone's throw from South Kensington. We were there on Saturday evening, it's not the busiest evening but we ate excellently, the service was lovely and the prices reasonable...

Nice for watching a formula 1 race, though football had a priority over the race and we have to watch it on mute (the sound was from the other tv showing a match)

Amazing service from very friendly bar staff! Would definitely recommend x

Great pub with attentive and friendly staff ❤️👍

Nice pub good selection of beers

First time at Duke of Clarence. We thoroughly enjoyed the service, staff were attentive and friendly. It was also Warm and cosy! Fab!

Popped in to watch the Arsenal vs Chelsea game and got amazed for the great atmosphere of mixed funs and a wonderful service that you don’t usually except in a sports pub. Ox cheek pie is a must try!!!

Love The Duke of Clarence's quintessential English pub atmosphere - it's the ideal spot for watching live sports. I've added it to my barguide.london site too!

Booked a table at this pub, as was visiting the Natural History Museum with family and wanted to have a little bit of a lunch somewhere that wasn’t completely packed. Would thoroughly recommend. Lovely selection of beers and the food was great. On top of that, they showed sport across four screens, and the atmosphere was lovely and relaxed.

good beers, good service. nice relaxed find so close to Kensington

Nice location and good atmosphere but the roasts where underwhelming.

Fantastic pub for watching rugby.

The side of broccoli was £6 and it was FOUR short measly pieces that looked very sad…… when stating this to the waitress she laughed 🤷‍♀️ we’ll go with awks laugh. It did taste nice though. My friend had the £17 burger, zero for presentation and it looked like a kids meal. Again tasty though.

Delicious scotch egg and great Guinness

12th March 24. Gone seriously downhill. Cannot remember worse service and food (we had seven meals) was cold, undercooked and tasteless. Really poor staff attitude, seems like they have lost their excellent manager. Could be a great pub, but service and food let it down. Service is mixed (sometimes good, sometimes like the staff are not interested) and the food is very expensive and average/poor.

Excellent- visiting from Ireland and booked a table to watch the rugby. The service, food and atmosphere were top class. Lovely staff so even though we lost the rugby match our visit was very enjoyable

I chose this pub because of its location near tube and museums yet far enough from touristic hordes of Cromwell Rd. Also informative website and easy table booking system. I was hoping for a pub not an overpriced gastro/ restaurant masquerading as a pub and was not disappointed. I was very happy with my choice as the 12pm booking meant the pub was uncrowded so the barman/server (charming and very obliging guy from Taunton) was able to move us to a quieter table (6 Nation rugger was about to start) so we could talk. Beer and food was excellent and service was attentive so didn’t object to 12.5% discretionary tip. Thougherly recommended.

What a lovely little pub with wonderful staff and the service is on point the food is great but the star of the show it a perfect spot to watch sport

Went here Saturday at lunchtime, wasn’t too busy and was a nice atmosphere. Food was great - recommend the sausages and mash. Staff were friendly and great service.

Decent pub with fun pub quiz. But there was a mistake on the bill, ended up being overcharged a couple of pounds. Waiter refused to refund me, claiming "it's only two pounds mate". It could've been 10p for all it matters, the pub had no right to overcharge me any amount. Local, but will not return.

Great service, very friendly vibes. Would definitely come again !!!!!!!!!

Had the fish and chips and was excellent

Great spot for after work drinks. Friendly staff, good beer selection, nice decor, comfortable seating, not too busy for a Friday night.

Very nice spot, relatively well priced (regarding the area). Nice crowd and friendly staff. Nothing spectacular but a really pleasant and chilled place. The food was as expected and nicely presented. Will come back when around!

Didn't have food but looked good... great service... great Guinness.. clean, tidy...

Nice pub, excellent service and a decent food selection.

A really nice pub with great food and drinks, and very friendly staff - recommend this spot as a cozy, classic London pub.

Nice and cosy place. Attentive service. Good burgers, great pub ! Thank you for your kindness. A family from Paris

Stopped in for a pint to watch a few football games. Great atmosphere. Arrived once with no booking for Liverpool Arsenal… wouldn’t recommend doing that for a big match but our server found a spot for us and attended to everything we needed. Returned a few times during the week and it was always fantastic

Had a quick dinner with my girlfriend, decent meal but what impressed me most was the service! Her name was jen lovely lady helped my very indecisive girlfriend pick from drink to dessert very impressed.

Flew in from the USA and had a wonderful Xmas eve at the Duke of Clarence. Wonderful pub with great atmosphere food and drinks. Highly recommended.

We had a Christmas do here and it was actually great. The food was really excellent and well presented and the service was perfect. Brilliant wine too. Definitely not your average London pub experience. Recommended

Amazing roast, one of the best I have had in London. The veggies one is also really really good with a mushroom minced pie. And also very cosy Christmassy atmosphere. Will come back!

Pub autentico e accogliente, sperimentato in una domenica invernale dove abbiamo potuto gustare un ottimo Sunday Roast egualmente buono nella versione beef e in quella pork. Personale di sala garbato e disponibile, ottimi vini al calice, atmosfera inconparabile. Consigliatissimo, assolutamente da tornarci.

Server was brilliant once we organised our booked table. Loved the food. Fish and chips in particular were fabulous so was the pie. Would have stayed longer but tired from travelling. Enjoyed the football too. Thanks team.

Good pub didn't have food ,but the Sunday roast looked good,had a few pints of the black stuff, poured properly tasted good

Very good pub fish and chips, roast beef lovely, not enough veg with the roast (seems to be a trend nowadays), £5 for 4 small pieces of sourdough bread (complete rip off), under cooked pigs in blankets. Stop people bringing dogs to restaurants!! humans are trying to eat!! Would return.

Great evening, good food and wonderful staff… we celebrated the World Cup and the staff were so helpful polite and friendly.

Absolutely amazing pub - best for a sort event. So accommodating, delicious food, great vibe. Couldn’t recommend it more!

Very disappointing. Before booking a Sunday evening , I checked to see if they were still serving Sunday roast options ? Was told yes . Arrived at 7:15 pm and after a drink and placing our order - we were told ALL roast ( beef , chicken and pork) options unavailable . We selected what we could from the main menu . One guest ‘s soup arrived - paltry portion (1/3 bowlful ) no spoon. Twice asked the staff ( only two present and one of them was behind the bar ) was informed that they “don’t fill it to the top “ which wasn’t what was asked . . Burger option was tasty but had to go and look for some condiments . Then told kitchen was closing and to order any deserts before all main courses arrived . It’s averagely priced for South Kensington but definitely not as good as other local pubs . Staff were informed about our service / complaint and I said I would leave an honest review. It’s certainly not welcoming by any means .

The Sunday roast (mine was pork) was tasty but let down by poorly cooked roast potatoes with no crackling with the pork, other than a leathery looking bit of pork skin. The beef was beautifully cooked, along with delicious Yorkshire puddings. The manageress lacked any genuine hospitality and looked like she wanted to be somewhere else.

The beer is OK, a bit too cold ale. Tried the broscheta and garlic bread bit was really dissappinted. The broscheta was a slice of bread and two ice cold tomatoes chopped in 8 pieces each with some onion. A few drops of some oil and basil below the veggies. It looked more like an accident than a dish. The garlic bread was two hard, dry fried slices of the same bread. The garlic, was in a small pot with some butter for you to spread on yourself. Never ever experienced that before. Cood lager and crisps will be the best option in this, otherwise nice pub.

A great pub. Amazing food, very kind team, clean and cosy. Definitely reccomended.

Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon and it was lovely.

This bar is fabulous. Rich is super sweet and remembers you even if you’re an out-of-towner. Great beer selection, lovely bathrooms. I didn’t eat anything here on account of being already full but it smelled good. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Great cosy pub, who accommodated us at short notice, really friendly staff and the food was excellent.

Great atmosphere and staff. Excellent fish and chips. They also have vegan and vegetarian options! Always a win.

Superb attentive staff and excellent food! Really comfortable and welcoming pub. Calm, chilled atmosphere compared to so many other rammed pubs in this busy area. Thank you so much. Highly recommend Curried Lamb pie! Loved it.

Cozy and authentic pub in a great area. Probably the best fish&chips in any pub in the vicinity. Good prices, great flair and ambience. Very good table service! Edit: the fish&chips rating wasn't a fluke, it's consistently great, just had it again. Also there's table service, seems like the last time we visited there wasn't enough staff. Upgraded rating.

Excellent Sunday Roast, Very good service Good Atmosphere Would recommend

Best Sunday roast in the area! Very friendly staff and kids-friendly. Great pub to watch sports as well. They show everything! Our favourite local pub

Nice and big with TV for sport. Nice staff.

Great staff and great atmosphere. Good pub for sports as they have lots of big TVs showing live sports. Staff are fast and friendly.

We popped along to The Clarence to watch the Women’s World Cup final before an afternoon at the Museums. Overall a good/average experience - but would likely find another pub before rushing back to this one. We had reserved a table to watch the football, this has not been marked on the tables so the staff had to ask another couple to move. Good for us, but the couple that moved pointed out there was no reserved sign which is why they sat there. We had some bloody Mary’s which were very good! And later on ordered some food, the hummus/dips sharer and potted crab. The hummus/dips were nice - but not enough crudites/bread (they kindly bought some more out). The potted crab was very disappointing, the crab was runny and there was a meagre slice of bread which fell apart. The overall ambience, vibe was nice and staff were friendly.

Great place for Sunday roast with an amazing atmosphere!

A warm and cozy pub in South Kensington. Located in a quiet street. Food is delicious with decent decoration. I enjoyed my time over here. Would be back again!

Atmosphere was nice; authentic London pub. We sat down for dinner and the food was …. bland… no other way to describe it; sorry. Three of us ordered Lamb Shoulder with Saffron risotto. It felt like we got a little bit of Pork Carnitas and the risotto felt like just saffron rice but not the creaminess and flavor you would expect from risotto. Overall, good ambiance, mediocre food.

Great food choices, and large portions. Customer service is very good and staff helpful. Great drink selection.

Had a cold sticky toffee pudding and I’m sure it has been in the freezer for some time. My husband enjoyed his fish and chips hence the 3 star rating No ambience whatsoever

Very nice pub went with family for my birthday will go again

Great crowd, great menu selection, love the green tiles.

Been coming for years. Good quality food at reasonable prices. Typical trendy pub style menu. Be sure to book to guarantee a seat. Reasonable prices. Mains from around GBP 15-28 per meal. Good, friendly service. 10 minute walk from Gloucester tube station.

🚇 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 visiting 07.01.23

We stumbled upon this pub while looking for a place to eat. The food was great and so was the wine. Would definitely recommend it to anyone.

The Duke of Clarence is a nice pub but the bar staff are extremely rude. Talking to each other and ignoring the customers. Not a smile to be seen anywhere. Would not return as plenty of other choices even though I do like a pub quiz which was going on.

Came for a father's day sunday roast with my parents and a friend. I got the vegetarian roast and it was great.

Great food, cozy atmosphere, lots of various seating options, lovely Sunday roast

Not from the area but was in London for the weekend. Wanted to find a pub to watch the F1 race on - The Duke of Clarence was ideal, great TV screens and decided to have lunch whilst there. Beat roast dinner I've had in a long time. Will definitely be back!

Friendly staff, good service and a great place to watch sports in the South Ken/Chelsea area.

lovely time as always, security team are so lovely and very observant meaning you always feel safe.

drinks was nice, service was friendly, but i lost my oyster card and just found out my dog has cancer, really not happy

We had the Lamb and wild garlic sausage roll with mint mayo, and this genuinely is the best sausage roll I've ever had!!! The rest of the menu looks stunning too. We'll be back for more.

Quite possibly the best steak pie I have ever eaten!!
