It's a great spot for a reliable lunch or evening meal with a pint. The staff are always so friendly and it has a great social atmosphere. Sometimes gets a bad rep but you should not be expecting a gastropub or winebar: it's a local! ? I've been here to meet friends and for work get togethers and it has always delivered. I like the layout that splits it into 4 rough areas: up top, middle bar area, lower area with TV, and garden with plenty of seating and a big car park.

Lovely pub really nicely decorated for Christmas. There were 6 of us in our party and everyone of us enjoyed our food. Reasonably priced and very hot on arrival as it should be. Staff very helpful an enjoyable lunch.Parking: Lots of free parking spacesKid-friendliness: Very child friendly, we had two 12 year olds with us but there were children as young as 18 months

Great staff, service and food.. Been twice since we re-found the Nelson and so impressed with the new set-up. Carry on the good work.

The service was mediocre. I popped in for a quick drink and all I saw was managers standing round on their phones and staff standing around not knowing what to do. Seems like its poorly run.
