In partnership with 
Down a darkened alley off Clarence Street there sits an ambitious, reimagined 1800s British tavern. The aptly named Duke of Clarence is rich in its design — lots of mahogany, red velvet and antique wares — and in its food and drink offering. Traditional pub fare is paired with a lengthy list of cask ales and more than 500 spirits. It's one of the restaurants featured in our New in Town series, where we uncover the newest and most anticipated restaurant openings around Sydney in partnership with Zantac.
To celebrate the launch of the new CBD hotspot, we threw an epic ol' English feast. It featured British favourites like mini pork pies, Yorkshire puddings and fish fingers, and ales, wines and creative cocktails to match. It let us escape reality for a little bit. Here are the photos.
