The New Clarence
Hull's first community owned and run pub
Latest Update: Its all go at The New Clarence!
Late April 2025: As at 28th April we have raised a whopping £242k via crowdfunder, and £6k via paper shares. The co-operative society that owns The New Clarence now has 420 members.
The plans for the renovation of the buildings have been finalised and phase 1 of the construction work is underway. Phase 1 involves rebuilding the kitchen and cellar and installing an accessible toilet.
Jamie Reading has been appointed to manage the pub. Jamie is a highly experienced publican and brewer and won CAMRAs pub of the year 5 times in a row at the Whalebone.

What we are about
We are a group of people from Hull and the surrounding area who are concerned about the rate at which our local pubs are closing. It started off being about just saving The New Clarence but we now want to achieve something for the whole city. Creating a place where individuals and groups can relax and enjoy good food, drinks and music with space for Community groups to meet.
About The New Clarence:
The New Clarence is the only pub classified as an Asset of Community Value in the city. Its city centre location, wide range of facilities and accessibility make it a great community space.
