    Sea food sliders
    Alex R.

    I have been in here a few times for drinks but finally went for food a few weekends ago. I took my parents along as its there 'type of place'. My dad and boyfriends had the burger my mum had sausage and mash and I had sea food sliders. All the food was beautifully presented that fit well with the theme of the restaurant. Everyone agreed that the food tasted amazing. Mine was really yummy but I would like to try something different next time. I think its reasonably priced too which was a bonus of course :) I would defiantly recommend this restaurant if you are in the Bury area its a lovely treat

    Medium-rare ribeye with skinny fries and steak sauce

    Recently renovated and restored, The Clarence is a pub, restaurant, cocktail bar and brewery all under one roof. The ground floor pub has a generous seating area surrounding the bar, serving a decent selection of real ale and wines. Food is also served down here from the pub menu. On the first floor is the 'finer dining' restaurant, with huge windows overlooking Market Place with views of impressive Bury Parish Church. A noticeable quirky feature is their rope pulley dumbwaiter in the corner, used to quickly deliver meals and empty dishes up and down. A great touch. Service was warm and welcoming, we were given time to peruse the menu (deciding to order exactly the same meal - medium rare ribeye steak and skinny fries). Served with a choice of sauces, I opted for the Kitchen Steak Sauce, it was a seriously juicy and gorgeous cut of beef. Thoroughly recommended. The New York style cheesecake with poached rhubarb and orange jelly was alright, but I probably wouldn't order it again. The second floor, the cocktail bar, was booked for a private event so we couldn't properly check it out unfortunately. It wasn't apparent when we visited if the brewery in the basement - Silver Street Brewing - was open to the public, but their beers were available on the pumps and you could also buy bottles to take home with you. If you're heading to Bury, this place is definitely worth a visit, be it just for a drink or an entire evening.

    Review Highlights - The Clarence

    A minor downfall could potentially be the price but on my recent visit I had the set 2 course menu which is great value at £11.

    Called in here for lunch yesterday as a change from the Wetherspoons menu…read more A nice, welcoming little pub with some secluded areas as well as a large bar and a good selection of real ales (and the usual keg offerings), as should be expected from a Greene King pub. The menu was interesting. My wife ordered the chicken and wild mushroom pie and was stunned at the size and quality - she was still only halfway through it when I had finished my meal and pint! Despite going there as a change, I ended up with bog standard scampi and chips. The chips were excellent. The scampi looked as if it had been cremated, but tasted absolutely fine - glad I didn't go by appearance! The service was superb and staff were interested in what we thought and if we needed anything else or were dissatisfied with anything. The furnishings seem to have been acquired from a number of different sources, but this only added to the character as they were all comfortable and in good condition.

    The Knowsley has undergone a revamp in recent months and has changed beyond all recognition. Before…read moreit was a very grotty pub for older, badly dressed men to drink in, awful carpets, awful beer, stinking toilets etc. whereas now it's a bona fide bar with live music. The decor is now modern, and even the toilets (which have been moved upstairs) are pleasant. I used to hate the place, now it's essential to go here on a Friday and Saturday night out before you progress on to a night club. It's busy and lively with a great atmosphere.
