Clarence Pier, Portsmouth

This Brewers Fayre pub was opened in 1997 by Whitbread and was later complimented by an adjoining Premier Inn. Originally the Clarence, the pub was later renamed the Clarence Pier, though these days the Brewers Fayre generic brand name is all that appears on signage. The interior is large and rambling, with a food servery at the centre of the pub, adjacent to the bar counter. To the left of the entrance is a smaller seating area, with high tables and stools as well as standard tables and chairs. The walls are a mix of exposed brick and wood panelling and flooring is a variety of carpeting, bare boards and tiles. Fake beams span sections of the ceiling. A dining area at the front of the pub is on a raised deck and has views across the Solent. To the far right is a larger seating/dining area and this is bounded by a large, children's indoor play area. An outdoor terrace is shielded from the elements by large perspex screens.
