The Clarence Hotel, Chew Valley Road, Greenfield OL3 7DD
01457 872319
UPDATE: The Clarence was closed in early March 2018. No notice as yet saying whether it will be relet.
UPDATE 2022: The Clarence is still in business, after a refurb. The benches in front of what used to be the front entrance are now completely surrounded by a plastic hedge and railings and you have to enter the premises by what used to be the back door. But I was there in summer 2021 just after the lockdown restrictions began to be eased and the rest was as good as ever and they were still serving decent grub.
On the corner where Manchester Road and Chew Valley Road converge.
It is only a mile's easy walk from Dove Stones reservoir, on the edge of the Peak District National Park.
This pub got its first licensee in 1861 and in the 1870s was a meeting place for the Saddleworth Hunt and the Ashton Hounds. The interior was modernised and altered in 1967, when it was owned by Bass Charrington. It was a free house until it changed hands in September 2012, but still has cask ales.
A comfortable, friendly pub, which welcomes both families and ramblers.
