Here`s what people are saying about The Lord Nelson

Trip Advisor December 2019

Great food & atmosphere

Trip Advisor November 2019

We came yesterday for a roast and it was delicious! The portion size was very generous as was the variety of veg. All was cooked to perfection. Every meal we've had here has been lovely. My mum, brother and sister-in-law came to stay in February and had a perfect stay. Breakfast was amazing! Staff are lovely and really helpful. The atmosphere is that of a proper vibrant local pub, a rarity these days. Keep doing what you're doing

We loved having dinner downstairs while our little one slept upstairs. the staff were really friendly. We had a balcony outside our room so we could spill out of our room. The pub is really well located for people wanting to stop off on their way North or South on the A1. We stayed in a room in the pub so that our baby monitor worked, but we think you could stay in a stable room and pick up the signal.

Thank you for a wonderful weekend we really enjoyed our stay and so did our two Akita dogs. Great big rooms beautiful cooked breakfast and evening meals. And super friendly staff. We loved how friendly everyone in the village was and will definitely be seeing you again

The food and room were spot on. It was a Thursday and we joined in the quiz.The locals were very friendly, as was the owner. Great all round experience

First time we have eaten at the Lord Nelson and it was a good experience. Good value well cooked food serviced by friendly relaxed staff. Real fire and ale took the chill of the rain away. Recommend - 5 stars

From Trip Advisor January 2018

Great food, friendly staff, great atmosphere, massive selection of beers, wines, gin's etc. Reasonably priced and you are always made very welcome

From Trip Advisor October 2017

Amazing local pub, just as one should be, informal bar area, excellently kept real ales, wide selection of drinks- and a great atmosphere to boot. Then the food, definitely beyond local pub grub although that can be catered for. Extensive menu, including light bites, with fantastic local fresh specials board. For my birthday meal I had scallops (cooked beautifully) followed by pink lamb then homemade pear & blackberry frangipane. Utterly faultless & delicious. Local gems of pubs like this - use 'em or lose 'em.

From our Facebook page August 2017

We stayed in the stable room which was nice, with comfy beds and lovely bathroom. The food was nice and the breakfast was really good with local sausages. Staff were really friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay again. Plus there's a lovely garden and play area.

From Trip Advisor February 2017

Lovely fish and chips at the Lord Nelson last night.It was two for one so did wonder what the portion sizes would like , they didn't cut back. Lovely and fresh will definitely be going back again for more!

I have lunch here regularly twice a week, and can honestly say it is the Best Place in this area! The food is superb. Can really recommend the Fish dishes from the Specials' board! But you have to act fast- they change weekly, but are truly scrumptious!

From Trip Advisor - December 2016

The team at The Nelson were great - hosting my father's 90th birthday party. Everyone commented on both the quality and quantity of the food. The staff were superb at both help with pre-planning for the event and the lovely family breakfast we enjoyed the next day.

From Trip Advisor - November 2016

My daughter had a fantastic 5th birthday party here!! I asked at very short notice and Sally and Martin couldn't do enough for us. So grateful for everything - they made the party stress free, so organised and all staff are brill! Party food was great and so was the atmosphere. Absolutely outstanding many thanks!!

From Trip Advisor - September 2016

Lovely meal last night, every course was delicious and beautifully presented. The staff were really friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back! 

From our Facebook Page - September 2016

I have 4 children and was delighted that this wonderful pub could accommodate us in the Blacksmiths suite without us being put in separate rooms. Very clean, comfy beds (3 double beds and one single bed!!) so all the kids slept really well. Food is delicious & the prices were reasonable & good choice on local bitters. We happened to stay on quiz night and were warmly welcomed by the landlord Martin who encouraged us to join in the quiz. The staff were lovely and my husband enjoyed the Full Nelson breakfast in the morning. We will definitely return next time we are in the area!!

From Trip Advisor July 2016     

I have always loved The Lord Nelson but under the new management there is that little something extra that makes it an absolute delight to visit. I have the joy of having it as my local. I visit regularly & am always impressed with the food, range of alcoholic & non-alcoholic drinks & the wonderfully warm greeting from ALL the staff.

From Trip Advisor July 2016      

Visited the Lord Nelson for a family party and had a fantastic time. The party was in the function room at the back of the pub which is lovely and is next to the kids area which was ideal for the 14 kids that we had at the party!
The food was really lovely and loads of it! Really friendly staff who could not have been more helpful. Wish it was my local but can really recommend it for functions or family get togethers.
