Nice venue, off the beaten track, food was nice, and everything nice. Big carpark, well lit up building.

Poped in on the long travel home needed a pit stopCouldn't ask for better staff so attending and dog friendly ?Great drinks available on tap food definitely filled a spot glad they have vegan options available as I don't like meat.only downside is the little dinky tea cups couldn't get my fingers through the hole. ?If I lived closer I would 100% go againGreat work guys raise coming your way ?Parking: Plenty of parking available

The food was ok with a very limited menu. Had sausage and mash served in a bowl like a bucket, making it rather difficult to actually eat it. Staff were great, but for an old pub on a winter night, I was kinda hoping the fireplaces would be going to add to the atmosphere. Would visit

Food overall was a disappointment. We visited for a midweek dinner. It was the first night of a set menu so maybe the quality of food wasn’t what it normally is. We haven’t eaten there before only had drinks so can’t compare. The crispy prawn starters were nice, they didn’t appear homemade so hard to go wrong but were tasty. Olives & breads came with a dipping oil, it didn’t really taste like olive oil & was just a pot of oil. Normally it would have balsamic or flavoured but this tasted like sunflower oil.The fish & chips ranked the best of the mains. I opted for pan fried Sea Bass on a bed of baked baby potatoes, cherry tomatoes & spinach. The sea bass was nicely cooked would have been nice with a slight crisp to the skin but that’s personal preference. The mint salsa had big chunks of cold pepper with mint salsa, didn’t really compliment the dish. However the baked baby potatoes weren’t baby potatoes but quartered potato. Some were hot & some cold.I asked if the potatoes are made in advance and reheated. I was told they had been ‘cooked fresh’ for me. I’ll let you decide if they look freshly cooked to you… I said about them not being a consistent temperature & was told they might have been sat under the lamp. No apology or alternative offered. Had the potatoes been reheated I would’ve understood. They were cooked through which is surprising to say they were baked especially for me in the timeframe.Husband had a sirloin steak it was ok, nothing to write home about. Child had a pizza from the kids menu. Again it was ok, decent size but just a cheap pizza with minimal topping. The kids shared a Brownie which they said was ok.Nice decor & it’s lovely in summer but I wouldn’t go back for food. The staff were friendly especially the young man who served us most of the night. Drinks orders were relatively quick too.I’m a frequent google reviewer & I don’t take leaving reviews like this lightly but I do like to be honest. If you’re a trader at the fairground it could be right enough if you take in convenience of the location to the showground but expect mediocre at best food.

First time visit for a meal at the pub .The food was excellent and the staff were all really friendly and helpful.Will certainly be back to The Lord Nelson when out that way again. ??

Terrible food for the price. Instead their curry was a solid lump of chicken breast on lots of boiled rice with little sauce or vegetables. Dry naan joined this sorry mess. Menu said something about mango chutney which never appeared. Sent back half the dry chicken and lots of boiled rice….. for £15 I expect better!! Won’t bother going again

Secretly located pub close to A1 and A46 just outside Newark-on-Trent. Perfect staff and lovely back garden.
