Clayton Public House (Surrey, British Columbia, Canada)


Clayton Public House 5640-188 Street, Surrey (Cloverdale) British Columbia, Canada.  Located at the Sunrise par 3 golf course and right above the 5 Star Catering.  Over the years there have been several pubs here, including the Loft, but finally a local group bought it and made it a real pub!  One of the owners father in his 70's who is retired did a lot of the building in side.  It now has a beautiful 20 person sit up bar, which all of the other pubs never had.  It is done up in dark colours, which makes for a much better feel.  They have over 20 different types of beer on tap including a variety of local craft beers.  This pub is not part of a large chain of pubs that seem to be taking over every where.  There is a big parking lot and the pub very easy to find.  Located right at the corner of Hwy #10 and 188 Street.  They have 4 pub high tables that are made from split trees with nice thick lacquer and are works of art. Along the south side are 3 semi circular booths.  With 9 nice sized TV's and one large projection screen it makes for a great place to watch a game.  Out side is a large deck that runs along the south and the east side of the pub.  It over looks the golf course and the valley with a view of Mount Baker in Washington State.  I can't wait until summer to sit out side!  The service is very good and very friendly, a true neighbourhood pub necessity.  They also have Texas Holdem and Keno video screens.  For food, I had the 1 pound Cheese nachos, which has one pound of cheese and these are very good indeed.  You can also add chicken and beef.  It also comes in a half order.  Two of us could not finish the full order.  Another time I was here I had the Chicken lettuce wraps which were very good!!!   Also on the Menu is The Kitchen Sink: "14 ounces of meat. Bacon with our grilled cheese sandwich, more cheddar, jalapeno jack, mushrooms, onion rings, fired egg, BBQ sauce. Topped off with pickle, prawn, and a mac and cheese bar. There isn’t much else we could have thrown at it"  I didn't try it, and I know I could not finish it!  They have 12th man garlic fries just like they serve in Seattle at the Seahawks and Mariners games.  You can sure tell when they come out by the strong garlic smell through out!  I really like this place and I hope that it continues to do well!  Two thumbs up for sure!!!
January 2016  Well I have been back a few times and they have dropped some favorites from their menu:  They dropped the Chicken Lettuce Wraps, a favorite of mine.  They dropped the Kitchen Sink Burger, it was too big for me to try.  The Nachos are not advertised at having 1  pound of cheese, seems they cut back, and they seemed to have cut back on the amount of ground beef that we added.  They dropped one of my friend's favorites the Ahi Tuna Taco.  I am not to thrilled about the choices of pizza either.  The Salmon Burger and the Clayton Cuban sandwich were great!!  Saturday and Sunday breakfast at 10:00!
 April 2016, now that the good weather is here, the out door patio is awesome!  It has a beautiful view, tables with umbrellas, and they were plumbing in gas lines for patio heaters when it is cool.  When the sun comes out this patio is very popular!!
