The second time here and to be quite frankly the steak is not the best. Possibly the worst I’ve had. For both times it tasted burnt and was burnt due to the grill. Which I could assume grill doesn’t get cleaned often. My partner ordered same thing as me, only had a bite to taste it and he said to the manager he couldn’t eat it. Manager said if he orders another meal he would have to pay for the steak even though he only had a bite to taste it and couldn’t eat. Considering he has a heart condition it’s impossible for him to eat the steak burnt. I on the other hand unfortunately had to eat my stake up to a certain point where then my mouth starting brining with sour from the taste of the grill. Quick advise, if you do go there I’d advise to get anything other than the steak or asked for stake to be fried instead of grill. For the restaurant a quick tip please start cleaning your grills often. Because I’ve been to multiple restaurants where they grill steak and it doesn’t taste like that.

Went today for a pub lunch after a walk at doverstones with my family and my 2 dogs. The food was amazing so lovely. Especially the desserts. I got the chocolate and hazelnut gnocchi and they were lovely. My mum got a biscoff cheesecake with pouring cream. I had seen picture of the cheese and onion pie but the photos dont do it justice. They have water bowls available for your doggies. They have a nice outside place to eat. They service was lovely everyone was really nice.

The first time I came by was 2 yrs ago, had some food and I was not happy with my steak, I asked for medium rare but it was too chewy for me. The other dishes of my family were nice. This week we came back but just for some drinks. It is nice and cosy pub. Staffs are super friendly. The location is close to Dovestone. So after a long walk, it is absolutely good place for rest, food and drink.

Popped in here for some lunch while out on a drive. Was greeted nicely by the staff, and the service was nice and quick while also being thorough. I ordered the steak, while a little tough it was cooked perfectly to how i had ordered it, thr chips alongside were just amazing and the right portion size for the meal. The salad and mushrooms that came with it were also really nice and refreshing. The star of the meal howevrr is the peppercorn sauce i ordered with the steak. It was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere waz great a lovely meal out for a nice day, great location with the dovestone reservoir just up the road, and short drive into the peak district. If im in the area again, I will more than likely stop for food here, too.

I don't often leave reviews, but the customer service we received today was very disappointing. Our first issue arose when we went to order food at the bar, as we were told we couldn't order as there was a "backlog" (this is despite us checking availability before we sat down and the pub garden being empty). Bizarrely we were told to come back to order in 2 minutes. We didn't understand what difference two minutes would make, but we politely waited around until we were allowed to order food. Disappointingly the food then took almost an hour to arrive and it was initially delivered to the wrong table (this is despite us giving a table number on the order). I had to shout the waiter to bring it to us. The waiter then said he would return with cutlery, but after waiting 10 minutes and our food getting cold, I had to look for him and fetch it myself as he had forgotten. After finishing our meals we returned to the bar to order our desserts only to be told again we couldn't order food due to a backlog. This is despite the fact we had already paid for our second course. With no idea when we would actually be permitted to order and no idea of how long the wait could be once ordered, we decided to leave with a refund for our desserts. I feel most of the issues we experienced could easily have been avoided if our orders had been processed normally and our expectations for wait times had been managed like most establishments. Overall the food was nice, but nothing spectacular. Considering my main meal cost £17 I expected better, but the beef was nice. The beer garden to the rear would also benefit from some maintenance, it look rather scruffy with litter and dead plants in pots and borders.

Went today for lunch...it was super busy and seemed short staffed. The guy who I think is the duty manager was fab but the rest if the staff seemed quite inexperienced, especially the staff member behind the bar...at 1 stage it was 3 deep at the bar and she simply couldn't cope!....when the food finally arrived my "burger wonderland" was delicious...however my hubby had a rib eye steak which was really disappointing! Over 3/4's of the steak was gristle and inedible ☹ the duty manager immediately removed it from the bill so happy with the outcome and his professional approach to the problem! Will try you again at a less busy time as have been lots of times before and its always been great....hope today was just a blip!

Food is spot on. When it’s really busy you may have to wait a little while but it’s definitely worth the wait. Eaten there twice over the last two weeks and both times had great food. Catch of the day was spectacular. Roast beef Sunday lunch was outstanding. Staff were very friendly and very apologetic we had to wait to be seated. Well done guys

If you could do a minus star for food I would. We waited an hour for our starters which was a disappointment to say the least, the nachos seemed microwaved the “melted cheese” was like plastic, not even a knife would cut through had better ones at the cinema which says it all, mussels that were so dry and tasted burnt (who is cooking this food). Fast forward another hour later and the mains arrived with no apology for the wait or update on the food. We ordered 4 rare-medium sirloin steaks all of which were well done plus a sad portion of 5 chips on the side (what’s even the point) and one gammon that was tougher than an old boot. We sent everything back of course and only got the mains taken off the bill. Not one to moan but it was literally so terrible. After looking forward to taking out our sick Grandmother it has been such a waste of an evening which is the most annoying thing. Will not be returning and would advise The Clarence to get a new chef and train their waiting staff better 🙏

It was very quiet went we arrived. The food was awful, the meatballs were hard and extremely dry almost as if they had microwaved them then served it up, the chips were also hard, so much so that when you tapped them on the table they didn't break, to be fair they did deduct one meal from the bill. But I will definitely not be going back here, I will not be giving them a second chance. I was really really disappointed and had to pick up a chippy when I got home.

Visited lunch time Monday 4th Septmber. The young guy serving was very polite and efficient, the location of the pub is in a beautiful area but parking is a huge problem and on road parking fills up fast too The food was average, it wasn't bad but nothing to rave about. I would visit again if I was in the area but I wouldn't go out of my way too come here. The wait is the biggest downfall. It was an over hour from ordering before getting food and the place wasn't even busy. It's good for a drink after walking the dog as its dog friendly. Cute little pub, worth a bite to eat just expect to wait for it

Great sunday roast after a big walk at dovestone. We had the cheese and onion pie which was delicious. Quite probably one of the best I've had (I'm a veggie so it's always the option haha) we were sat at table 10 served by Izzy who was great. Polite, hospitable, knowledgeable about the food and also did a 'check back' (which is something I often find missing in restaurants at the moment but in my opinion really makes a difference). Would recommend recommend got the hungry hiker!

Great home cooked food, menu covers a broad range of dishes that allow for choice regardless of taste. Genuinely welcoming to both humans and well behaved dogs, it's refreshing to be able to relax and have something to eat without worrying we'll inadvertently break an unspoken canine rule or be sat in isolation. Efficient service delivered by friendly and helpful staff. What's not to love?

Don't bother visiting because despite what is mentioned on their site. They shut when they choose and not at 11pm as advertised. In fact they shut 1hr 30mins early. Sadly we were not the only people who had made the trip to visit the pub so over 6 people were turned away. Despite knocking on front and back doors. Apparently as James suggested there are other pubs to go to. However when you've walked 20 mins already in the dark this response is more than disappointing. Imagine if Tesco told you that other supermarkets exist. I'll leave this hear for Ricky the manager to respond? We were coming for a drink to see if we wanted to visit for dinner tomorrow?would you revisit when your holiday time is so precious?

Great service, the young staff members were, friendly, helpful and professional. The atmosphere was good, lots of families enjoying Father’s Day, the music was a touch to loud. The Sunday lunch was packed full of meat and veg. The beef was a little over cooked and the parsnip uncooked therefore I’d give the food 4 out of 5 the gravy tasted a little too salty and in my option would be better in a separate jug to pour on yourself accordingly. The staff were great and I’d give them a 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you for an enjoyable meal😀👍

£80 for pretty mediocre food. The burger patties were so cheap tasting and processed. On a £14 burger youd expect the burger part to not taste so cheap. Ruined the burger. Not the proper burgers I remember. Cheese and onion pie so salty it was hard to eat. Were told kids waffles came with ice cream nutella and strawberries. They got half a waffle, pouring cream and a bit of fruit. Staff were nice enough, place is lovely but the food was just sub par which surprised me because this place was great the last time I came.

After hearing good things about this establishment from friends, after a lovely Sunday afternoon walk we attempted to grab some lovely British pub food. There was no table available but we thought to get a drink and wait to see. One of the lovely waitresses (blonde, nice eyelashes and earrings) got us a table!! Could not be more thankful to her. We were sat in the restaurant area and chose starters and bar snacks as a tapas meal. Wonderful flavours all over. I would just say that the female toilet tap needs to be warmer and be provided with hand towels. There was also a slightly annoying very small fly hovering over us the whole time we eat, no fault of your own.
