Clarence Brasserie & Tea Room

You'll find Clarence tucked away on Church Street, just a short walk from the castle, in a quiet corner that feels removed from the tourist shuffle despite being right in the heart of things. It's the sort of place locals actually come to—not because it's fancy, but because it does the fundamentals brilliantly. The tea selection is taken seriously here, with proper loose-leaf options that go beyond standard breakfast blends, and the food side doesn't pretend to be something it's not. Whether you're after a leisurely afternoon with a pot of tea and cake, or a quick coffee and something on toast, the staff know what they're doing and the atmosphere rewards lingering.
