The Lord Nelson, Brentford

When I first moved to the area a couple of years ago The Lord Nelson was the lesser of evils as a local. My first experience involved abuse from bar staff, cloudy beer in dirty glasses and cold roast beef covered in cat hair. Hygiene seemed to be optional as well telling from the state of the place.

Well, I vowed never to go back there until last Sunday when I saw the Nelson packed out and with a spanking new refurb. New management, bright and friendly staff, fab food and a pub quiz! Sadly I came too late to join in but apparently there's another one pretty soon and I'll be bringing friends for the first time. No longer will the staff in Tescos think I'm a wino every time I stock up, as before I was too embarrassed to take my friends there if I ran out of booze.
A local we can all be proud of- Well done!
