The Clarence - Oldham

Without a doubt, the worst service I've ever experienced. I've been here twice before, and it was fine. However, tonight we waited an incredibly long time for everything. At the end of our main courses, we asked for a dessert menu and were given just one menu to share among four of us. We waited half an hour with no sign of a waitress. When she finally arrived, we learned that they had stopped serving desserts, and we couldn't place an order. The table next to us had a similar experience. Absolutely disappointing.

I had a great experience, but the spicy chicken strips and the kids' nuggets were slightly overcooked. I didn’t want to complain, as I’m too polite for that. Everything else was excellent!

It’s disappointing that the restaurant can create incredible dishes for non-vegans but doesn’t put in the effort to prepare delicious vegan meals. Perhaps the chef could benefit from some research on how to make flavorful dishes, as it’s clear they’re falling short in that area. I felt it was a complete waste of money, and I was extremely disappointed. For context, nothing I've experienced compares to "Down the Hatch," an outstanding vegan bar and restaurant in Liverpool. I’d recommend a visit there so the staff can learn what truly great vegan food tastes like. Additionally, it’s puzzling that they serve vegan options but don’t offer dairy-free tea and coffee. This is the first time I’ve encountered such an oversight at a restaurant that promotes veganism. Whoever invested in this establishment should seriously reconsider their approach, as should the chef.

Hey guys. We booked on the go with you and we are sooooo happy you had a table free. Never been here for food in the past and now we’re asking ourselves why not. Friendly staff Good atmosphere Great food Having said all that the staff made it for me. I ordered another beer and whilst eating (I ordered a Stella by mistake as I thought it was what I was drinking) The young lad came back to check as he’d spotted that I had a moretti! He then came back to let me know the barrel was being changed. Great service and we will be back Thank you the Clarence lovely end to a great Sunday
