The Clarence Bury in Bury

Great place to eat friendly & attentive staff

Been here a few times and the food and service has been absolutely spot on. Great friendly staff and atmosphere.

A wonderful quiet pub in the centre of Bury, Staff are warm, Helpful and friendly and the menu is lovely. I had Chicken with mushroom and tarragon sauce. Meals and drinks are reasonably priced. Will return.

This restaurant has it all! The food was so juicy and succulent I almost had a heart attack. The staff were really friendly and I also caught a glimpse of a line chef who was looking quite scrumptious. I'll definitely be returning soon.

I don't know who's idea it was to alter the design of the place and reduce the number of beers on offer but it hasn't paid off. We used to come here quite often before lockdown and it was always buzzing. This occasion was our first time in since it reopened. It was a Saturday night and we were 2 of a total of 6 people in the place. A couple of minutes later 2 of the others left. The beers we had were good but the atmosphere was non existent. This place is in a prime location in Bury and is surrounded by other pubs and bars which were all doing good business. I was thinking it may just be a one off but as we left, leaving just 2 people in the pub, I overheard one of the bar staff say to the manager "it's dead in here again, can I go home?"

Visited the restaurant Sat 6th November and had 3 courses of excellence! Food was fab together with the beer and wine. Lovely lady running the bar.

Once an excellent pub with outstanding food. What went wrong?? Have been for a few beers since reopening after lockdown. Poor service and disinterested staff. Relectantly decided to try again today. Ordered 3 meals. 2 came at a reasonable time. By the time the 2 meals had been finished, mine had still not arrived. Told the staff not to bother as I didn't want to eat alone. 5 minutes later my meal arrived. Explained again I had cancelled it and asked for the bill. The food that was consumed I was told was very poor. The beer quality was poor. Kitchen staff are clearing tables and serving behind the bar. I'm sorry, I have had some amazing meals and night out in the Clarence with impeccable service. Unfortunately not now. Sort yourselves out. You can do so much better.

Service was extremely slow, possibly understaffed, sat down, ordered wine and then waited 45 minutes before taking our food order. 30mins later the chef comes over to confirm the order was from our table, steak was ordered rare and came out medium to well done, which was a shame as the starters were fantastic

After phoning the owner @theclarencebury and asking for a unique veggie dish; he not only rustled up a Mediterranean ciabatta (that included cheese & aubergine), but threw in chunky chips too. This one off take away special humbled me and my tastebuds. Thank you.

The Clarence an excellent place to come, bright welcoming and polite and courteous staff, smiling all time whilst there the food good choice but the 3 small courses for £15 a bargain and have great choice on real ales which happily let you sample to find the one that suits your preference. A thoroughly enjoyable experience happily would return
