Contribute FeedbackThe Clarence offers a mixed bag of reviews. Some patrons had bad experiences, like being asked to leave for eating food from next door and receiving substandard food. Others had positive experiences, praising the friendly staff, delicious dishes, and spacious venue. Dog-friendly and laidback, this family-run pub in Brecon seems to offer a warm atmosphere, varied menu, and great service. While some had minor issues like slow bar service and small portions, overall, the majority of patrons enjoyed their time at The Clarence and would recommend it to others.
We arrived at Brecon at 18.15 and were lucky enough to be able to get a table so long as we ate before 19.00 which suited us perfectly because we were all starving! Saturday night without booking, we were lucky. The food soon filled us up with large portion sizes. Pudding should not be avoided either, calorie free on Saturdays.
This is our local , so you might think i'm biased, but it wouldn't be our local if it wasn't great! I write this review with a clear conscience. This is a fabulous family run, and family friendly establishment, everyone know them and they know everyone. The staff are friendly, the food is fresh and plentiful, so are the drinks. The atmosphere is laidback and relaxed and the beer garden is the best in Brecon. I compare every pub i go to with this one.
Went to the Clarence for Jazz Sunday, been coming here years and spent a lot of money here. Was kicked out for eating food from next door even though I had been ordering drinks here all day and the previous days. Incredibly rude female “bouncer” just looking for something to do. Clarence wasn’t serving food at that time hence why I had food from elsewhere.
Great welcome, big beer garden, lots of variety on the menu, good food and beer, all at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended.
A weekend away and we had no idea where to have an evening meal. We used google to find this pub and we’re so glad we visited. The weather was beautiful so we sat in the garden. We both had steak. But the menu is varied and reasonably priced. The food was delicious, the service was great! Inside all the tables were reserved, but we wanted to stay outside anyway. The garden is pretty and dog friendly. The following day we went back for drinks and again all tables were reserved. So booking is recommended.
