    Not been before, but the staff expected us to know. Prices rather obscure on the menu card. No prices for tea & coffee though. Expensive, but plenty of tasty food. Lovely basic decor dedicated to Nelson.

    Lovely Sunday roast! Will definitely be returning. Family friendly. My children loved playing the board games whilst waiting for their food. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

    Just returned from an evening meal. Had the hot trout salad which was quite disappointing especially as only the potatoes were the only hot item and everything else was cold. Bit of a lazy meal as it was just trout, salad and potatoes with not even a bit of lemon. Mentioned it to the staff who apologised but didn’t really seem to care. Nice pub with a good atmosphere though. Nice to go for a drink but steer clear for food

    Four of us had a delicious dinner there on a Wednesday evening. It was fairly quiet but very pleasant dining room, a large airy purpose built addition to the original pub. The food was excellent, particularly the carpaccio which was some of the best beef I have ever eaten.

    When we went half of the menu was off, was really looking forward to going as it was my mother's birthday. Staff did try to make the experience better, so can't complain about them. But the food even though was edible it wasn't anything spectacular considering the lack of stuff missing from there menu. I will give another try as they stated that a change over of staff in the kitchen was the reason behind this. Fingers crossed we will get a better experience next time
