I have recently returned to Nottingham after a long absence and I visited the Nelson for the first time in 30 years. There's virtually no change except for a coat of paint or two. I Agree with all the positive comments. A gem.

This is a brilliant pub and has obviously been teleported from the countryside into the middle of Victorian terraces.
Always a friendly welcome, good atmosphere and nice beer.
Not posh but a good honest pub.

this pub is a little oasis in sneinton. John and Josie who run it are lovely and there is an eclectic clientele so every nights different and theres always someone interesting to talk to. Beer gardens great in summer and theres a hot barman called George!!!

Haven't been back since the brewery wreckers Greene King took over. What a shame.

Agree with all the positive comments, one of my top ten pubs in the UK, An oasis.

a real public house - this one actually has seperate rooms. a good un - a jewel in the middle of nothingness. i hope that it shall remain as it is.

Average Food, Terrible Service.
I was taken to this pub for a Mothers Day treat and was really looking forward to it as I had read the blurb from the pub saying that they were well known for their excellent Sunday roasts... Well, the veg was overcooked, the roast potatoes were burnt, the gravy was salty and the yorkshires were soggy. Even worse though was the service. We booked the table for 1PM and arrived on time etc, however, at 1:55PM, whilst we were deciding whether we would like puddings, we were informed by a member of staff that we would have to vacate our table because it was reserved for other customers from 2PM. We were informed that we could move to the bar (with our 1 year old son who was with us). The bar being dark and smokey. Hardly a suitable environment for a small toddler!!! In addition to this, young children are not allowed in the bar areas of pubs (by law)... All in all, disappointing.

The Lord Nelson used to be my local when I was at university!!!
What a great pub!! It is like a village pub which has been dropped into the middle of Sneinton - once you walk in it is hard to believe you are in Nottingham.
The beer was excellent, the sunday lunches superb and the locals were friendly.
Definatley worth a visit
