Now renamed the Clarendon (back to it's original name), we recall it describes itself as ale and cider house, along with Thai food prominently advertised. The Saturday night we walked by, a half-empty private party meant we couldn't go in for a review, but peering through the misty windows we could see the pool table has gone, along with other items which gave the place character. When it's open to the public, we'll go for a look.

It strikes me that it's about time the people running this site got round to visiting this pub properly. Posting in vaguely negative terms in November 2011 with the promise to do a proper review – but then failing to do so in a timely manner – seems a bit off to me.

Anyway, I used to frequent this pub around 15-20 years ago when it was the Nobody Inn. It was nothing particularly special but I always liked it for its spacious, slightly old-fashioned interior and views out over Newington Green. It has now been revamped as "The Clarendon", which is perhaps a reversion to its original name ("The Clarendon Arms"?), I'm not sure. I've been in a couple of times recently and found it quite pleasant (I say pleasant because it was on the quiet side and I don't like heaving, noisy pubs).

They have a decent selection of ales and ciders on hand-pump (mainly Dark Star beers and Weston's ciders, but with a guest ale - Alton's Pride on the most recent occasion). My beer (Dark Star Hophead on both visits) was very good. Prices are a little on the expensive side (£3.50 per pint) but typical for the area. Service very friendly. They also do Thai food, but I haven't tried that.
