The Clarendon reopened in summer 2019 after a refurbishment. Originally three rooms, the interior has been modernised and you can now walk through between the bar and the lounge. The decor now includes floorboards and 'butchers' block' tables. There is aso a modern conservatory and courtyard at rear. The pub retains a relaxed and traditional locals' character. Sports TVs are evident in both rooms, and the pub is popular on match days.
Historic Interest
Within an area of Victorian housing close to the university and Queens Road, this corner pub was built in about 1936 to replace a small corner Victorian pub. It was designed by the Leicester architects Stockdale Harrison & Sons, for the Burton-on-Trent brewer James Eadie Ltd (a company which was owned by Bass). It has a very attractive 'moderne' style brick exterior which has been spoilt somewhat by the replacement of its original metal-framed windows with upvc ones. The house on the opposite corner of Montague Road and West Avenue was formerly an off-licence owned by the Northampton Brewery Co.
This Pub serves 1 changing beer (Mostly well-known brands.) and 4 regular beers.
