The Clarence in Mayfair in City of London, Westminster

I ordered the Sunday roast. My wife ordered the pie which was commendable. Both are delicious, especially the gravy, which is the best in the UK. The staff were friendly and the Christmas decorations were lovely.

We had booked a table for dinner but arrived earlier. The staff were very accommodating in finding us a table even though the place was very busy. Special mention to the Scottish man who was organising all the tables. I'm sorry I didn't get his name. He was very polite, helpful and accommodating even though a large party of 47 had just arrived too. He made time for us, made sure we were happy with the table. Great food too.

Never a long wait for food or drink, good atmosphere and clientele and Stuart always goes the extra mile for customer satisfaction!

Great Sunday roast, beef was cooked to perfection! Staff were attentive and lovely! Definitely recommend

Very good pie with delicious carrots. I recommend.

Beautiful classic pub. Love the food

We booked a table for 5-7pm. Unfortunately due to awful traffic arriving into London and then an Uber driver who refused to take us into the city, we quickly realised we weren’t going to make the allocated time. I rang and spoke to Stuart who was ever so friendly and accommodating and told us to let him know when we arrive as we had a wheelchair user and that he would bring the ramp out. We arrived eventually at 6.30pm meaning we could only fit in a very quick drink before our reservation at the nearby Ritz. Stuart couldn’t be any more accommodating, he was so lovely with my mother who isn’t a confident wheelchair user, he ensured we had an accessible table near the door and ensured we were served drinks immediately and personally. He also gave us some handy tips about where to go when we were heading to the ritz, what entrance they use for wheelchairs. He realised we were celebrating a birthday and made a huge fuss as well as explain to me that if I go into the Ritz and speak with someone on the right hand side where the piano was, that they would sing happy birthday and they absolutely did. The whole experience from start to finish with Stuart was amazing, we couldn’t have been happier and would recommend this pub hands down!!!

Amazing food,atmosphere and great Dark & Stormy's

Great experience and great service. Gui and Katie made my trip memorable and honestly will be planning to visit again soon and will be recommending this place to anyone who plans to visit London.

We wanted a fast lunch, but unfortunately I ordered a meat pie which took a long time to arrive. The staff were nice and gave us 20% off unsolicited.

perfect english pub! Great local food...and amazing beer!

We came here 30min before close for and asked for some sticky toffee pudding. The kitchen had just closed but they made it for us! And It was well worth it. We only had one night in London and I wanted sticky toffee pudding it was amazing! If we ever come back to London I’ll come back here just for the memory and good service despite the raver music I still loved it!!! The staff is amazing!

Wonderful find, after a long day of traveling happened upon this pub. Food was delicious and presented with refinement. Sausage & Mash and Chicken with Chorizo were ordered. Would highly recommend.

Excellent meal. Great atmosphere.

Always an amazing and friendly venue.

Best pub around mayfar, they have a big selection of food and beer also the quality of the staff its top very friendly and professional , if you come in central London you have to try , You won't be disappointed

We had a group of Aussie for dinner it was delicious and friendly staff

Great place w aircon as well. Great service!

Have to order by QR and then the payment screen has the balls to ask for a tip. A bit rich when basically no service provided. No one likes QR it just shows the lack of commitment to customers and a priority to maximising profits

We decided to go to a dog friendly pub to have a roast and we found this on google. After they sit us on the first floor, where only two more tables were having sunday roast, the waiter very embarrassed come to the table with a bowl of water for our little Luna, and at the same time he told us that the manager wanted us to sit on the floor downstairs, because apparently upstairs dogs are not allowed. I have not found this indication on their websites or somewhere else. We left and went next door to enjoy our lunch and we found a great dog friendly venue, with not only the staff kind and dog friendly, but even the manager.

The service was impeccable. Couldn't fault them.

Amazing and huge quantities food with reasonable prices, well located and amazing atmosphere

Do not come!! Grey goose served as ‘house’ vodka, while Absolut and others sat on the shelf. Not to mention they used a bottled soft drink instead of the tap. Out to take advantage of tourists. Will never be returning.

Decent pub on Dover Street with a good atmosphere

Kumud what fantastic server! From start to finish the night was fantastic! Service amazing, cannot fault the service will be back again!

Kumud is a fantastic girl, great service, great vibes cant wait to come again and have a great time !

Awesome food and first class customer service

Superb Sunday for my friends and me especially thankyou for food had Sunday roast beef one of the best beef i had ever in my life and nut rosat for my friends and Rishabh gave amazing and quick service to us. We loved his presentation of cocktails.

Great place for sharing with friends.

The Sunday roast exceeded all expectations - really delicious beef - and served later than the other pubs around Mayfair/Piccadilly - nice wine, but Stuart's hospitality and whiskey recommendations place this pub above and beyond 🏆

We had lunch and went back for dinner. We love the sticky toffee pudding. Very nice food and atmosphere.

I recently visited this place and the food over there is amazing plus the service is outclass Parth served us with full of energy and happiness absolutely loved it

Parth has been the best host for whenever iv dined here, I’d recommend everyone to go with Parth for their drinks and food and I bet you’d have a lovely evening at the bar

Popped into The Clarence for cocktails on Sat afternoon, Stewart made us feel so welcome and was an excellent host, thank you so much Love the Golden Girls xx

Very commercial. When you have finished your meal even with you have given à tip you must get out...i need the table. The Bill was on the table before the end of the meal break. Really unfair

Excellent place, the staff and the manager are really accommodating and made us have a great time.

Very good pub that I recommend.

Excellent service we had upstairs to ourselves this was no problem to our waiter

My daughter and I had a great lunch on a rare hot day in London at The Clarence. I didn’t know when we walked in, but they had a/c. Major bonus! I had the Shepherds Pie which was delicious. The gravy was out of this world and took the dish to the next level. My daughter had the British version of chicken nuggets and chips from the small bites menu and they were nicely fried with a lot of flavor. We were sitting near another family who were back for their second visit! Would return as well if in the area again!

Great staff who are happy to go that extra mile with a smile. Great service . Tasty food.

We popped in here for lunch and were so impressed. The guy behind the bar was very friendly and helpful- very knowledgeable about the beers on offer too!. Food came out super quick- good portions and yummy (we had the Mac and cheese and shepherds pie). It's tucked down a side street so was quite quiet when we visited but I'm sure gets busier at night!

The food and service was so good! I don’t typically eat seafood but the salmon was delicious! Thank you to the server who helped out group sit together!

Great experience! I got the garlic chicken and it was delicious

Fab pub with loads of atmosphere and fantastic staff particularly Stuart who made my birthday weekend end on a high. He was very customer focused and genuine. I would thoroughly recommend this pub which is a sensibly priced haven in a expensive area 😊

Perhaps the finest pie I have ever had. It's a little on the expensive side, though that may just be London pricing, but absolutely worth it for the quality of the meal. Have the beef brisket pie.

Pleasant Nicholsons house with traditional decor and efficient staff.

I came into The Clarence a few nights ago with a friend of mine, and was made to feel so welcome by Stuart, His attention to detail is superb. He explained everything clearly and gave good recommendations. Our cocktails were lovely and the food was excellent too. Keep doing what you’re doing. We will be back.

Stumbled across this pub whilst showing mum round central couple days ago. Lovely local pub feel but still clean and high quality. We were served and then looked after so well by a Scottish guy called Stewie/Stuart(?), he was so patient explaining the options to my mum, she ended up going for an Espresso Martini, we thought Fever Tree was just tonic until Stewie told us about their cocktail items! I love my gin so he recommended Nicholson's which apparently the company makes themselves, such a lovely story behind it and such a crisp gin. We grabbed a couple of starters which were his favourite and had a lovely, relaxed time. My mum can ask a lot of questions and can get stressed in busy places easily so the fact she had someone be patient, considerate but also engage properly and have a real conversation made all the difference, this was hospitality nor service 👍. Coming from a hospitality background I can be quite particular but the service and ambience here were top tier. Definitely will be back and recommending!

The poor driver was given the wrong directions by map, but managed to get the delivery to me. My drink was also missing. Aside from that, the food was hot, filling & very tasty.

I paid £7.45 for a pint of peroni then the next round I paid £8.20 I asked why am I paying 2 different prices and the bartender said because it’s event prices but I was there for the beginning of the game. He then said because the staff know me. But I hadn’t been to this pub for at least 2 years and i don’t recognise any of the team. This is disgraceful and not acceptable.

I continue my tour of Nicholson's pubs, this time with The Clarence, located near the Green Park metro stop. Like all the pubs in the chain there is a wide choice of beers, cocktails and other drinks and the food is very good (I tried the Mac and cheese for the first time, it was delicious). However, it is not my favorite in terms of atmosphere and decoration, but those are just my personal tastes. You can go there without fear!

The service is good as well as providing service exillent. Thanks deep to make my day perfect 😊

AVOID. If you ask for a glass of wine you will be given and charged the most expensive glass of wine on the menu (not the house wine which is standard practice) Even when disputed with the barman and then the owner/manager there was no recompense or resolution which suggests this is standard practice in this establishment. Just ripping off tourists. Which explains why it was so empty on a Friday night with the opening night of the European cup. Owner and barstaff should be ashamed.

Lovely traditional style English pub in Mayfair

Edit in reply: I confirm that I went to the Clarence on Dover St- across the corner from the Ritz. I was taking some friends around London and stopped in at the Clarence for lunch as I’d had a good pie there before. When we arrived, the staff member who took our table was bordering on hostile- we think there was a misunderstanding about reservations. We tried to talk it out but he wasn’t willing to- ultimately we decided to leave before ordering any food as it was clear our experience wasn’t going to get any better.

Lovely pub! Great atmosphere, excellent food and very friendly staff! Highly recommend!

Best Mac N’ Cheese I had while staying in London. The people are super friendly Definitely worth it!

Would not let me charge my phone, charge extortionate prices for drinks and service was rude, unfriendly, and disrupted by all bar tenders leaving the bar for a few minutes - almost feels a worthwhile visit after I took a couple glasses

Standard London pub near-ish to Buckingham Palace (have to walk through The Green Park).

I loved the food, it was amazing but little bit oilly. Staff was very friendly, kumud was very helpful n recommendation for drinks n food.

Cosy centrally located pub spanning two floors. Reasonably prices. The nachos were OK but not the best I've had. The chips could have been thicker and could have used more cheese and jalapeños.

good food, nice place, perfect service

Good selection, good food, great staff

To be in a pub that has so much history is good reason to go, but the people working there were friendly and so hospitable. The food was prepared in a way that made you feel like you were in someone's home and all was delicious and served piping hot. The lagers were a perfect accompaniment to the meals and appetizers, or to have just by themselves.

Authentic “English” Pub with quality fast food, good atmosphere and friendly staff

Excellent fish and chips, in large portions 😋. Small onion service. Thanks for letting me have dinner again at 9 p.m. 🤗

Great place! Service and excellent food Always visit it !

Old fashioned Georgian boozer over two floors. Good location if not a little crowded with tourists. Pint of Guinness was pretty good to be fair.

A very nice pub! The barman was very friendly and hospitable, advising us on drink and food options (gluten intolerance). A place to grab a pint and relax.

First time visit London and it is the restaurant I go (the tour included haha). Thanks for the hospitality, great food and good service. Looking forward more nice places in your country, just like this one.

Fantastic service with Marcus tonight! There were 9 of us for drinks and dinner. We could not have had a better server. Food was wonderful but service was even better. Definitely recommend stopping in for a drink and dinner- especially the beef pies!

Excellent pub definitely recommend. Great food, atmosphere and staff

This pub is a 5 mins walk from Piccadilly Circus and it was well worth the walk. I went with work who organised group tours and was seated upstairs. Really great atmosphere and really friendly staff who couldn't do enough for us. I had the roast chicken and Veg and chocolate brownie for dessert. The portions were huge (I ate every bit) and delicious. Food came out quick for all 50 of us and all piping hot. The quality of the food was stunning. I know I'll be back when I'm not working to sample more of the menu. Thank you to everyone who looked after us.

Hidden gem in Mayfair! Pub culture at its best; inviting atmosphere, great-tasting classics, service with a smile - Marcus and the team prove when you do the basics well and consistently clients return and spend!!! #justonedrink #hallomifries

Amazing food with great veggie options! Great atmosphere, definitely recommend!

I liked this place but it's touted as a place for gins but no gin menu in sight. Very busy night though and a little bit stuffy as it was so warm. We got the gin menu eventually but they need to make it a bit more obvious. Didn't eat here

Amazing catering and Hospitality.

Came in with family for a few drinks with family. Brilliant service from Lee and Juste as always. You’re sure to get a warm welcome every time you visit the Clarence.

Had a great afternoon, Juste was the perfect host, food delicious with a good friendly atmosphere. Thanks to all involved.

Such a lovely pub in an excellent location. The food is absolutely amazing, and the service is excellent. The pub is very welcoming and the atmosphere is great!

Baby shower was great and great service

Lovely venue, ambience and service.

Had an amazing time at Ellie’s baby shower here. Fantastic staff and atmosphere. Will come again!

Fab pub great service and atmosphere Also very near the tube

Best service ever got from a pub in London, keep it up guys. Should mention Deep and Parth. Give them a promotion 😉.

A lovely, proper English pub, right in the heart of Mayfair. Great staff, excellent food and superb drinks. An asset to the area.

Deep and Parth gave us the best service. Best pub in london. They gave us good service.

Lovely place, kind staff and service! Thank you all!

Nice traditional British public house, good food, great beer selection 👌

Really good customer service by a really cool guy named Part.💯

Parth ,good service from him and we like a lot here, and the atmosphere

Good food good service by Part!💯💯

What a lovely pub. Staff are excellent & really went above & beyond to make sure we had a lovely visit. Would recommend & go again.

Love the food and atmosphere. We come here a lot but something has to give with the service. It is always a struggle and like we are bothering them. Table service is even worse. Management, PLEASE FIX!!

Had the England v Ireland rugby on so a great atmosphere. Shame you can't get a small fruit juice. not everyone wants 1/2 pint and it come out of a cheap carton too so no excuse

Visited in September 2023. 4.5/5. First time visit to this pub for after work, catch up drinks on a Friday evening, late September. I made a table reservation. The pub had a lively atmosphere, was deceivingly bigger than it looks. The service was really good - made to feel welcome and had the menu explained. TC specialises in a variety of Gins and cocktails, mixed in with your usual favourites, the pub provides all that you need. The seating is fairly comfortable but wasn’t all that. Fairly clean overall. There is a dining area upstairs, the food looked good from what I saw and menu had the classic staples. Overall, a really good experience.

Outstanding service at Clarence pub, thanks to Rishabh ! Quick , efficient and always goes the mile. A gem behind the bar .

Rishabh's bartending skills at Clearance Pub are top-notch. The impeccable service makes it a go-to spot for winding down after a hectic day.

Awful restaurant. We order food and they just forgot our order. When complaining about the 45 minutes delay, nobody at the restaurant seemed to care.

I came here for the first time a week ago for a date with my boyfriend and we were amazed at wonderful service we received from Jagoda. She looked after us very well, showing her amazing hospitality skills. We enjoyed thoroughly the experience, food was delicious, drinks were great but definitely Jagoda was outstanding. Thank you again! We will definitely come back and recommend this place to our friends and family.
