Great real ale and a good atmosphere with an open fire.

Friendly and welcoming establishment. House red wine choice of Merlot or Shiraz, and both were pretty decent. Spotlessly clean toilets (always a bonus!) and roaring fire was very welcome on a cold winters day. We were even allowed to bring our dogs in, which was great as it was chilly outside, even under the outdoor heaters; they were each given a treat too. Nicest pub by far in Earl Shilton.

This Landlord knows his beer and how it should be looked after. Have visited a few times to check if was a one off but it’s not. Perfect clear well kept ale. The pub has friendly and jovial landlord and staff and the locals always seem to be having a great time. If only I lived closer would be my local of choice for sure 👌

Decent pub with a good garden area out the back. Drinks are good as was the atmosphere. Outside tv to watch the football in the summer. Clean tidy and plenty of space. The only thing to be aware of it that it closes at 9pm, at least it did on the Monday evening we visited.

Live locally and I have walked past the Red Lion so many times and never been in. Decided to try out (August 2019) and glad I did! Really nice inside, with a good size beer garden too. Staff very friendly and a good range of drinks available (multiple cask ales, a gin menu and even punk IPA craft beer in the fridge!). There's ample parking if you're driving too. Highly recommend. Will be back.

If you are ever around Earl Shilton, then popping into the Red Lion is a must. Brilliant staff , brilliant beers, but most of all it’s a warm and welcoming place. Such a friendly pub with amazing beer garden out back. Spoil yourself and pay it a visit, I’m so glad I did ,

Expected a lot better, from the reviews online. Mediocre at best. Bland and small quantity of ingredients inside our batches. (I’ve noticed this a lot this neck of the woods, places have much better reviews than their food! )

I went for a few drinks at this pub as I was working near by , I was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of the whole establishment, A young lady behind the bar called Leah had a great knowledge of the cask ales that were for sale was planning to order some food however the kitchen had closed but Leah went out of her way to direct me to the best local takeaway

I really can’t believe that it’s taken me this long to do a review of The Clarence. This astounding cafe/bar was a surprisingly late find for us; we didn’t go in for quite a long time, and in hindsight, this was a huge mistake because it’s amazing. The venue is perfect with a large outside seating area, while the inside has a mixture of comfy seats, tables and booths. It’s spacious but also feels cosy and the decor and lighting are trendy without being pretentious. Because it’s an old bank, they have retained the original vault, which can be reserved for small group events and is very cool. It’s already on my shortlist of places to hide out in the event of a zombie apocalypse! The Clarence does a wide variety of drinks including a varied range of excellent cocktails. There is a fancy drink to cater to everyone’s taste and they are all made with love by their wonderful staff, their 2 for £14 cocktail deal is a bargain for drinks of such quality. They have a great selection of beers and wines, and if you are so inclined, you can also purchase hot or cold soft drinks! Their coffee and cake deal deserves a special mention, at only £5 it’s probably the best deal of this kind in Hinckley, I’m obsessed with cakes and brownies, and their selection is exceptional and at this price it’s great for the bank balance - however, slightly less kind on the waistline. The Clarence are partners with Pane & Gusto. Run by two of the most wonderful human beings that you will ever meet who will cook you authentic and super tasty Italian food to order. This is food cooked with love, and you can literally taste it! Food of this quality would be selling for triple the price in London & it’s exceptional quality. I often just ask to be ‘surprised’ and I have never been disappointed with what I have received. Highly recommended food. The Clarence also hosts regular live events including pizza making, live music, bottomless brunches, drag bingo & movie nights. We’re really spoiled for choice, and every event we’ve been to has been brilliant with a buzzing, friendly atmosphere. A venue would be nothing without the people who run it, and The Clarence is exceptionally well catered for here. It’s starts from the top: the amazing Lisa sets the tone - she’s just fantastic and so welcoming, making everyone who visits feel like a superstar. You can tell she genuinely loves The Clarence, it’s staff and all of its patrons. Every single member of the Clarence team that I have had interactions with are wonderful, they make it a pleasure to visit every single time. It’s like a wonderful family where everyone gets on and is having a fantastic time! I might have been late to The Clarence wagon train, which was a mistake on my part, so if you have yet to visit, please do and become part of The Clarence family!
