The Clarence, New Brighton

A wood panelled tardis! A deceptively comfortable and welcoming real ale pub, but what is obviously a community boozer as well. The home made food (including their chips!) was very reasonably priced, as was the ale - daily changing, completely independent guests at �2.45. A very impressive array of continental bottled lagers was on offer, including Erdinger, Pauliner, Leffe, Warsteiner etc. This is an Enterprise pub doing its damnest from what I can see to retain its own character. Not known to many, this pub also boasts an attractive beer garden, which is far more than just a smoking den.
Closest pub to New Brighton Railway station makes it the obvious starting point for any local pub crawls - real ale based or not.

The Grosvenor Arms Aldford, Aldford

Glad to see the dross don't appreciate what this pub offering is all about, and always has been, i.e. a bit of luxury and a fantastic beer, wine and spirits selection. The prices are designed to keep the morons out - and the standards up. Carry on the good work.
