Welcome to The Clifton, we look forward to serving you. All the food served at The Clifton is freshly prepared and made with beautiful seasonal ingredients. There’s truly something for everyone on the menu, from bar snacks and kids’ dishes, to our famous Sunday roasts. Plus, you can rest assured that everything on the menu is sampled, and the suppliers are personally vouched for, by Ben, Ed and Adam – a tough job, but someone has to do all that tasting!

    Even though it was an early lunch (12:00) the room was warm and welcoming. The menus was very good and explained, including the specials. We opted for the crispy pork pieces as a shared starter and we were not disappointed, it was excellent. As mains my wife had the seafood risotto which she said was delicious. I opted for the sausages, mash and onions which was also very good. I had a pint of bitter which was very nice and perfectly presented. My wife had Prosecco which she enjoyed. In summary a very nice meal. We will certainly have a return visit when next in the area!

    Lovely - service was great, food was lovely. The only suggestion would be bread sauce - as my partner is a northerner! - but it was lovely thank you. Can't wait to come back after Christmas. Merry Christmas and happy new year.

    The Clifton is my local. Yesterday I went to meet friends . We waited over an hour for the main, they forgot to lodge our order. Then the food was the worst . Usually it is good, yet over salted and the steak overcooked and so late to the table. The staff were chaotic . Really disappointed as this place is usually very good and on point .
