What User dislikes about Clarence:
I used to enjoy this big pub known for its delicious food, but tonight I was quite disappointed. I ordered a fish plate for $28, which was supposed to feature fresh seafood. Unfortunately, not only was it overcooked, but the seafood tasted anything but fresh, reminiscent of what you might find far from the coast. To make matters worse, the portion was quite small. I left feeling still hungry, which was certainly not... View all feedback.

The food was great, so the personal. will be there again when I am back in town.
Had dinner on Friday night. Didnt wait too long and very yummy. We had the lamb cutlets and clarence chicken. Veggies were great as well.
This used to be a fantastic pub with delicious food, but I was really disappointed during my visit tonight. I ordered the $28 fisherman’s plate with fresh seafood, but it was overcooked and tasted as if the seafood had come from Ayers Rock—not fresh at all. The portion was so small that I left feeling just as hungry, if not hungrier, than when I arrived. I won't be spending my money there again.
I was thoroughly impressed with this stunning pub. The meals were exquisite, made with fresh ingredients and reasonably priced, just like the drinks. Plus, it's pet-friendly! We were so grateful to have the opportunity to bring our furry friend along and enjoy a meal in the beer garden.
