I really can’t believe that it’s taken me this long to do a review of The Clarence. This astounding cafe/bar was a surprisingly late find for us; we didn’t go in for quite a long time, and in hindsight, this was a huge mistake because it’s amazing. The venue is perfect with a large outside seating area, while the inside has a mixture of comfy seats, tables and booths. It’s spacious but also feels cosy and the decor and lighting are trendy without being pretentious. Because it’s an old bank, they have retained the original vault, which can be reserved for small group events and is very cool. It’s already on my shortlist of places to hide out in the event of a zombie apocalypse! The Clarence does a wide variety of drinks including a varied range of excellent cocktails. There is a fancy drink to cater to everyone’s taste and they are all made with love by their wonderful staff, their 2 for 14 cocktail deal is a bargain for drinks of such quality. They have a great selection of beers and wines, and if you are so inclined, you can also purchase hot or cold soft drinks! Their coffee and cake deal deserves a special mention, at only 5 it’s probably the best deal of this kind in Hinckley, I’m obsessed with cakes and brownies, and their selection is exceptional and at this price it’s great for the bank balance - however, slightly less kind on the waistline. The Clarence are partners with Pane & Gusto. Run by two of the most wonderful human beings that you will ever meet who will cook you authentic and super tasty Italian food to order. This is food cooked with love, and you can literally taste it! Food of this quality would be selling for triple the price in London & it’s exceptional quality. I often just ask to be ‘surprised’ and I have never been disappointed with what I have received. Highly recommended food. The Clarence also hosts regular live events including pizza making, live music, bottomless brunches, drag bingo & movie nights. We’re really spoiled for choice, and every event we’ve been to has been brilliant with a buzzing, friendly atmosphere. A venue would be nothing without the people who run it, and The Clarence is exceptionally well catered for here. It’s starts from the top: the amazing Lisa sets the tone - she’s just fantastic and so welcoming, making everyone who visits feel like a superstar. You can tell she genuinely loves The Clarence, it’s staff and all of its patrons. Every single member of the Clarence team that I have had interactions with are wonderful, they make it a pleasure to visit every single time. It’s like a wonderful family where everyone gets on and is having a fantastic time! I might have been late to The Clarence wagon train, which was a mistake on my part, so if you have yet to visit, please do and become part of The Clarence family!

Wow - stumbled across this great little live music venue - anything seemed to go from coffees at 10pm on a Saturday night , funny looking tea and shots from revellers clearly enjoying dry Jan being over . Beautiful handmade cocktails were enjoyed by all the Singer was fantastic . Staff friendly and welcoming . How a transformed bank can have so much atmosphere and be so intimate , for those dining in the quaint and intimate booths -I am amazed . What a great little find we will be returning - I might try one of those teas next time and something to soak it up . The food looks amazing also
The Clarence is my favourite place to visit on a Saturday, Im always guaranteed a warm and friendly welcome by the lovely staff, Lisa, Taliyah, Charlie, Matilda and Molly! I opt for the coffee and cake deal for 5, it’s an absolute.bargain, they serve delicious cakes and brownies and the best mocha’s in Hinckley! It’s such a lovely relaxing atmosphere with amazing vibes! I would recommend The Clarence to anyone wanting a relaxing coffee in the day or a few cocktails with entertainment in the evenings!
