Clarendon, Marske-by-the-Sea (Middle House)

The Middle House, as it is known, is a family-run, one-room locals' pub with interesting photographs of Marske through the ages around the walls, represents a 1960s time warp. It serves five regular beers, three in winter, plus a guest beer with a free standing mahogany island bar featuring, which is a rarity in this area. One of the pub's best sellers over the years has been Copper Dragon Golden Pippin, which is now back up and running with the original brewers in place. There is no TV, no jukebox, no pool table, no children/teenagers - just the locals indulging in convivial conversation. Occasional live music. There is no catering either as such, but tea and coffee are available, while cheese and biscuits are available on Sunday lunchtimes. It has a pleasant south-facing outdoor drinking area. CAMRA local branch Winter Pub of the Season 2020.
