We went early so it was quiet and were allowed to sit anywhere, we chose table overlooking the bar downstairs. Very polite staff and were greeted and served by Matt the general manager ( it was his first day and we were the first customers). Matt looked after us very well. The food was lovely and presented in a professional manner. I had the beef which was cooked to perfection. My wife had the lamb which was again cooked nicely. The starters of venison and scallops were great too. Healthy portions so neither of us had room for dessert. The Irish coffees rounded off the lovely evening. Highly recommended

An incredibly drab dining experience not helped by the menu not reflecting what we saw online when making the booking. We were greeted by the news that menu that consisted of three beef burgers and three pizzas but the pizzas had run out. Being non beef eaters we weren’t left with much of an option. The food we did have was basic and not that flavourful.

Unsocial - not social!
We popped in here for Sunday lunch, having read favourable reviews. It wasn't a problem that there was no space (apparently - but the place looked and sounded mostly empty) but the bar maid was just fantastically rude and unhelpful when imparting this information to us. If you're going to call your venue 'social', then it helps if your staff are actually friendly and polite!
Obviously the irony is lost on The Clarence Social who appear to want to turn people away from a mostly empty establishment.

Had a Groupon deal for Sunday Lunch. We arrived at peek time and found service was very slow. We were there over 2 hours for 2 course lunch. Food was nice and value for money with Groupon deal. However, wouldn’t return without this deal, at no point did any staff check how our meal was. Found minor issues with food which should easily of been identified before leaving kitchen. For example Yorkshire Puds slightly burnt.
