Fish and chips review: The fish tasted like it was going off. Really disappointing as it does live up to my expectation from the reviews I have read.

We had a lovely Sunday lunch at The Clarendon Arms on Sunday 29 June 2025. Alex and his team were very friendly and they really treated us with great food and service. Keep up the great service and food guys! This restaurant lived up to its good Google reviews!
