I never managed to get to the New Clarence under previous ownership but have looking forward to visiting since it re-opened a year ago. This is now a friendly, community-owned single room pub just to the north of the city centre. There are quite a few handpulls but not all were clipped on our Sunday lunchtime visit. The regular cask ale is Timothy Taylor Boltmaker. Also on were Timothy Taylor Blonde, Half Moon Session IPA, Brass Castle Headliner & Weetwood Silverback Stout. Bag-in-the-box ciders can be found to the side of the bar and are listed on a blackboard - Tippett's Crow Medium, Gwatkin Game Cock & Foxwhelp, Blackmoor Brickyard, Barbourne Perry, Isaac Alchemy, Little Pomona Lyde Farm Perry & Dowding's Dabinett. Camden Easy was available on keg.

It was reasonably busy when we visited with plenty of tables reserved and the two barmaids doing a good job of keeping everybody served. Sunday lunches were also being dished out, with some large Yorkshire Puddings. I'm sure we'll be back here, as it's re-established itself as one of the city's best pubs.

Visited on a Tuesday afternoon in June. A short walk out from the centre but well worth seeking out. Seven hand pulls at the bar, all clipped at the time of my visit. Looked as if TT Boltmaker may be a regular with the others all guests - representing breweries such as Titanic, Pentrich and others lesser known. My half of TAR, a 7% porter by Gan Yam, set me back £2.50 and was superb. In addition to the ales, eight real ciders and perries were listed on a chalk board.

There are bench type booths, dark wood, feeling traditional but looked after. As has already been mentioned, an example of a pub being saved by its community. Toilets modern, a good size, and pleasant.

I'd definitely be happy to return when next in Hull.

Hull’s first and perhaps only community owned pub, it’s a big square room inside. There’s a U shaped counter with seven pumps on the front face serving a good mix of Yorkshire beers from Taylors, Bini, Atom, Wensleydale, Half Moon and an interloper from Welbeck Abbey. A couple of T-bars and solos for the keggery and about eight real ciders which I take to be BIB. Nice button back banquettes and some booths. A few old features are still extant mainly tongue & groove and architrave. A big blown up map of Kingston upon Hull from the 17th or 18th century covers one wall. There’s a small more secluded area off to the right. A comfy pub making a good two hander with the Hop & Vine round the corner.
