I recently discovered this pub on the way home from Swaffham. Bradenham is a little bit of the beaten track but it is definitely well worth a visit. To be honest as i was traveling home on my own from my parents i would ordinarily never stopped anywhere after dark but nature dictated a brief stop. I was amazed at the discovery i made. The pubs car park is very light which meant i felt really safe. The inside is really nice, light, fresh and most importantly clean. I found myself feeling very at home and the owners are a lovely young couple who it turns out recently got married at the pub. I spent the rest of the evening at the Nelson and am desperate to visit next week. A fantastic place for everybody and i would very much suggest it to anybody i meet. Sustainable for both groups and individuals alike. Samanthaoaks - 10 Oct 2012 22:40 |
I must admit that i do not usually bother commenting on pubs and bars, as a general rule if i like a pub i visit it; if i dislike a pub i don't. I this rare occasion i felt that The Lord Nelson, Bradenham stood so far out from the crowd that i recently moved into the local area in order to be closer to my favorite little retreat. As career businessman and company director i find that the best way of relieving the stresses of work is to find the prefect retreat and with out a doubt. The Lord Nelson has to be Shangri-La. The Lord Nelson has been stunningly renovated into a stylish but classical feel with uninterrupted field views to the south of the building The atmosphere is lovely regardless of whether there are 2 people or 20. The owners are some of the most lovely and caring people you could meet who are always happy to talk to you or challenge you in a game or two. Yesterday i counted: 8 Draught Ales (All local breweries) & 9 Bottled 2 Draught Stout (Guinness and a local One) & Bottled Guinness 4 Draught Ciders, 10 Bottled & apparently a new warm cider for winter They have so many different spirits its really got to be tried. I can't wait until the restaurant opens in the next few weeks. Oh and little tip try a short they make called Mouth Wash. It is an experience like you can't imagine. I don't really know what else to say here but hopefully i will meet you all soon. Jamescarol - 10 Oct 2012 21:43 |
Lovely setting and great Buffy's ale when available but when not in; others are not prepared well enough with a laissez-faire front of house landlord. Good for Children and dogs; but bickering people behind the bar are unsettling on the atmosphere, but then it is a large family run pub! Large car park with scope for future events but they need to look after the locals BEFORE themselves first...no food, T.V. or music. aacc - 19 Aug 2012 13:55 |
The Lord Nelson has now reopened after an extensive renovation by its new owners as: The Lord Nelson Coffee House & Tea Room, by day & The Lord Nelson Ale House & Restaurant, by night The Lord Nelson offers a large range of coffees, teas, wines and ciders at fantastic prices. It also ranges a minimum of 5 draught ales with a good supporting range of bottled ales to compliment and speaking here as a keener Coffee drinker I am happy to report that people are welcome to drink tea and coffee as equally as ales and wines. The kitchens are not due to open till April ish but promise to be something special fresh home made, locally sourced food. The renovation work is fantastic and should be seen to be believed, if anybody was familiar with the old dirty pub that once stood here. You should take a look the new owners have created a new bright and clean haven for the community and visitors. sheridansmith - 28 Jan 2012 10:52 |
