Hardys Cafe Bar at Lord Nelson Hotel in North Lincolnshire

Where to start, easy look elsewhere! We compared on Google & decided on this one as advertised free breakfast & wifi, well neither were an option well WIFI is in public area in pub not rooms, went down for breakfast at time suggested by welcome book & we should have prebooked also it was not included! We could pay extra so found a cheap cafe! Also NO hot water or heating on at night so had to use a small electric heater in subzero temps! Just got told it was a mistake by Google with regards to breakfast! Sadly won't be heading back didn't bother going back to try n mention about other issues as the staff didn't seem to bothered about the place.

Excellent cask ales from the independent Old Mill brewery in Snaith, East Yorks.

again very nice worth a look c 👌.

Didn't stay here just popped in for some food and drinks. Service abrupt. Told half hour wait on food orders ..55 mins later it arrived. Gravy extremely salty and the chips were over cooked. Server did nothing but complain how busy it was and was seriously frazzled and appeared to be on her own . Cleaning tables then running to serve food then back behind the bar. No sauces offered . Issue over cutlery and spoken to like a 5 year old . Wouldn't return to this pub if we were in the area again. Ruined the end of our holiday. Had to travel home feeling hungry and horrible taste from the gravy. Disappointed as the food that was served to others while we were waiting looked really good .

We stayed in Brigg on a lovely weekend away, and decided to pop in to the lord Nelson for a Sunday roast, and it did not disappoint, beautiful roast. Would recommend if your in the area.

Great reasonably priced food and a good atmosphere.

Whilst visiting Brittany my brother took the family out for meal at Le Vieux Colombier located in Sarzeau. The welcome we received from the staff was warming. Our table was set up beautifully. The food was delicious - typically French!

What a nice surprise. Having a walk around Brigg and decided to find somewhere to eat and came across this venue. I ordered omelette, my husband ordered the house curry, both meals were delicious and very well presented. The staff were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. We will definitely be returning.

Popped into Brigg to take our minds off of loosing our dog. Decided to have a bite to eat and chose this venue. I had the omlette, my husband had a madras curry. Both meals were spot on and very well presented, the service was excellent, the staff were very friendly despite being extremely busy preparing a buffet. The atmosphere was so nice, we'll definitely return.

Very clean and tidy pub the food was excellent drinks a little bit expensive but a nice atmosphere

Lovely pub atmosphere lovely, but service slow, I think they were short staffed and it was busy

Great food, good portions, well cooked very tasty

My family and I were meeting my sister and he son at Lord Nelson for lunch. We met up and were shown to our table. We ordered our meal from a menu given to us We were looking forward to our meal but sadly were disappointed. Those who ordered the gammon found it very salty. My burger was cold and very dry. I think the Lord Nelson is fine for drinks and a chat, but not for food. The staff were friendly.

Lovely pub and food , meals well presented and value for money

Lovely staff and food 😁 will come again

Nicely presented large pub in the center of Brigg, does rooms as well. We'll kept local real ales along with the usual lagers at reasonable prices. Seems popular for food , the usual pub fare but seems popular and reasonable priced. A more personal experience is offered than the Wetherspoons down the road.

Horrible place The worst meal in my life

The worst gammon I ever ate in my life , taste like a dish water. Very poor service.

A gem of a pub, shame it's so quiet! Staff friendly enough.

Best pub in Brigg in my opinion.

We have visited for lunch a couple of times in recent weeks and the food is good, well cooked but by no means exceptional. If you just need to eat or meet visitors to town it is a large pub and always seems to have plenty of tables available. A wide range of food on the menu too. Staff maybe not as welcoming and helpful as you would like but not unpleasant or rude.

Didn't stay overnight but if anything like downstairs would score it high

I’m not usually one to complain but the food and service was appalling. First when upon arrival the girl with red hair was so rude and couldn’t pull herself to smile. Then when we once got out food it was awful, I could barely cut my meat, the potato’s were rock solid and my peas were frozen and the beef was pink. When we got our desserts the same girl slammed our plates down with so much force that I thought the plates would break. After talking to another employee about how rude the girl with red hair was she ensured us that she would put our word forward and then we overheard her talking very loudly about us saying “they’ve got bigger things to complain about.” This behaviour was completely unacceptable and the food was practically inedible.

This review is for the pub. The food doesn't taste fresh, 100% microwave and defrosted. Large portions but quality isn't there. The chef is a let down to this nice pub. Service is good.

Everytime ive gone there in the past few weeks (4 times), they have 'just stopped serving food'. I asked the girl behind the bar the other night what time do you stop serving she said 19:00. Ive just been back in at 18:30 and the man behind the bar said they've already stopped for the evening. Either serve food in the early evening or dont.

Great pub ,good food ,great service what more do you need.

I stayed for the night with my son in a family room. There were coat hangers and hooks hanging over the head of the single bed and a kettle on a shelf above the single bed... Really!!! It was dated and needing a make over. Ripped wallpaper. Plaster coming off the wall and a bright green light in the centre of the room that lot the room up all night. The window didn't open and it was ono e of the hottest days in July. Very unhappy. We will not be back!!!!

Best sunday lunch within a 25 mile radius freshly cooked big portions at a reasonable price friendly and good service never dissapoints we have also been midweek and the food has been excellent .Brigg is a nice historic town pleasent to walk around after lunch

Popped in as passing by. The food was bloody amazing. Home cooked and tasty. We had liver and onions and Roast of the day in giant yorkshire puddings. All lovely fresh veg and ingredients. Young man behind bar was lovely. We will certainly be returning and recommending.

Very disappointed food was awful will not return £ 35 what a waste of money ..I think you need to employ a decent chef

Bank Holiday Monday meal out with my husband, The worst meal I have had in a long time , Roast beef dinner small amount of fatty beef ,disgusting roast potato, watery mash , hard garden peas , microwaved carrots ,cabbage and cauliflower. Topped with a soggy yorkshire pudding and copious amounta of tasteless gravy. My husband had Fish ??? Greasy chips and mushy peas . Definitely won't be going back !!!!!

We arrived at the Lord Nelson where the parking is situated at the back & is free at weekends. The staff were warm & friendly & the pub is really quirky & well done out. We were staying the night & had 5 rooms booked for our friends. The rooms were nice & clean with large beds & tea & coffee facilities. There is a large beer garden & plenty of space too meet friends inside & out. We ate breakfast in the morning & it was great they do a small & a large & a small is enough for a medium appetite as come with toast & tea & the usual fry up items, the large is 2 of everything. I will definitely be staying here again. The pub is central in town.

Arrived on a Saturday lunch as a group of 6 with dogs. Asked about a table, the lovely young lady managing the bar by herself explained only one side of the pub allows dogs and that there was a table reserved for 2pm, but if we would be finished by then we could sit there. Ordered promptly, nice varied menu and decent prices. As our food was about to come out (1pm) a male in an apron very aggressively approached our table explaining the group reservation were early. It took some time for him to offer an alternative table which we were more than happy with. He then made lots of huffing and puffing for dramatic effect carrying tables and chairs down to accommodate us. We moved immediately and the male who I presume is the owner/manager was more pleasant at this time although his attitude about the fantastic young lady managing the bar single handedly was appalling, blaming her for the error. The food had clearly been sat under a hot plate whilst we played musical chairs so was all dried up and not pleasant. Other than this the food was adequate, pleasant enough. We left (before 2pm, despite having taken longer due to the table move ) without another word from the manager. I seriously hope the young woman working the bar is snapped up by another pub and she is treated with the respect she deserves rather than surrounded by the chaotic and inept manger she currently works for. Won’t be returning which is a shame as it’s a nice venue in the town.

We booked in advance as a party of 10 and made it clear at the time of the booking my wife had to eat gluten free, and we was told this wouldn't be a problem. I again made it clear at the bar that my wife's carvery meal must be gluten free, so it was disappointing when the meals came to our table and no one seemed to know anything about one of our party being gluten free and my wife was served a regular carvery. This was sent back and a GF carvery came back a few minutes later. I enquired which of the deserts on offer was GF and was told by the lady chef none on the menu, but they had some almond bakewell tarts which were GF and sounded quite nice. I ordered that for my wife and it was particularly disappointing when, as the rest of us were being served our deserts my wife was told that they've just realised they actually didn't have any GF bakewell tarts at all and they'd have to refund us for that, so as the rest of us had pudding my wife had nothing and just had to watch on. Guys, it's 2023 and over 2,000,000 people in the UK suffer with some kind of food intolerance, there's really no excuse to not be on the ball with this. The staff were friendly enough and the food was OK for the rest of us, but we left underwhelmed for what we paid and in my wife's case disappointed and still hungry.

Walked in to a lovely looking traditional pub, it seemed to be split into two sides and we sat on the quieter side. A small Sunday dinner menu and we were ready to order. Waited at the bar and was acknowledged from the other side, we continued to wait and more people were queuing the other side, the barmaid continued to see us but not mention to queue the other side. Another staff member came on who grunted to wait, he then continued to go to the other side to serve people who hadn’t waited as long. We were disappointed in the poor communication and service and walked out. Wouldn’t recommend. Such a shame!

Went in and the pub looked lovely. 2 sides to it and we waited at the bar, they were serving the other side and while acknowledged continued to be ignored, we were not told to move around to other side of the bar. We waited and waited (and the pub wasn’t full) .. in the end we walked out. Nice location, nice looking pub, rude staff to non regulars. Hope it’s a one off but not sure

Went as couple last week for lunch, pub was very quiet, one person ordered just before us and another couple few minutes afterwards, no one else. Gentleman's order came out, fish and chips, same as my husbands so thought ours would be on its way. We waited, then the couple after us got their meals, we waited some more then we asked and was told it was on its way but waited some more. When the 2 meals did eventually arrive no apology was given. Food to be fair was OK but wait too long, can't imagine what they do when busy.

The staff were friendly and welcoming. The bar was quiet but quite attractive. The small bedroom was very hot with no opportunity to open the window. The bed was hard, but this is very much down to personal preference. The shower on the other hand is an unmitigated disaster. It doesn’t work. It’s very small. The extractor fan ran all night.

Visiting Brigg and wanted lunch so tried Lord Nelson. Greeted by owner/manager ? and after using sanitiser shown to a table. Excellent pint of local beer to start, my wife had white coffee , hot milk supplied in small jug. Food cooked to order, so a bit of a wait, but worth it. I had large Yorkshire pudding filled with liver and onions, arrived hot, was tasty and filling, my wife had soup and fish and chips from pensioners menu. Covid compliant, saw tables cleaned after customers left. Excellent, friendly service. and definitely visit again when next in area.

My farther & I had surf & turf while my mother had fish & chips, all three meals were excellent, this pub & restaurant is a must to visit if your in Brigg.

Friendly pub, with comfortable seating, The food was very well cooked, I had salmon steak with lovely freshly cooked vegetables, my husband had an excellent tender steak and chips, with all the trimmings. Great value for money. Food and drinks brought to the table by friendly staff. Plus a bowl of water for the dog.

Our first visit today, what a warm and friendly welcome, staff so nice and helpful.Beautiful decor and well laid out with a fab beer garden. We ordered the 3 course sunday lunch and could not fault it, beautiful homemade soup, beef cooked to perfection and the pudding so rich and tasty. We will definitely be visiting again.

Travelling through the area, and having been here before, we decided to visit again. The pub/restaurant is large and it was easy to locate a free table. The bar was not very busy and provided quite a relaxed atmosphere. The menu contained a good range and requirements were ordered and paid for at the bar. The quantity and quality of the food was very good, and served in reasonable time. We did experience a slight delay in being able to pay but overall our visit was pleasant

Since the old guard left this place it has got better and busier.The beer is better kept. it's a nice big place with plenty of seating I even take the wife in now - Pool and Darts are played in here which you don't see a lot these days in pubs - Quiz is one night a week

Very nicely decorated, comfortable and clean. A relaxed atmosphere and very good food for a quick lunchtime bite to eat. Good service which made us linger over a nice coffee at the end of the meal.

Now back to its original name the lord Nelson has been refurbished and is much better managed and is back on my list of pubs to visit when in Brigg!

We booked a table at the Lord Nelson/Hardys for the Brigg Xmas light switch on. Never been before but it turned out to be a fab choice. The meal took a little while to arrive but that was expected due to how busy all of Brigg was. We ordered a variety of meals including a mixed grill, 2 x Home made Lasagne, Two Admiral burgers (with Stilton and black pudding), & a Spanish option burger with chorizo. We all enjoyed our meals very much and it was reasonably priced. Would def recommend if you are looking for something a little more upmarket than wetherspoons (not a dig at wetherspoons in brigg, just the meals here were tastier). All I would of liked that was not really available would have been a selection of ales instead of designer lagers. But that is a personal preference drink wise.

Arrived at 8.15 to be told the food had finished, the board said they served until 9.00pm... we went ahead with a drinks order, my wife’s drink was served in a dirty glass which was changed, never again...

We have been several times here as a couple and with a group and I have to say we have never had a bad meal since the refurbishment and new menu. Went yesterday with just my husband and we both had a lovely meal which was well presented, freshly cooked, and served by friendly staff. Neither of us eat animals and we had plenty of choice and were both full after the meal. We have been with friends who eat anything and they were just as enthusiastic about their meals. Prices are good too. I would recommend calling here. I am not sure if this review is meant to be in the Hardys bar section or the Nelson, so I will repeat it in both as we feel that the efforts of the staff should not be held back by some of the older negative reviews there.

A choice of a small or large breakfast with bacon,egg, sausages, beans, tomatoes black pudding, mushrooms and toast. Freshly cooked in a small cafe on the high street. Served hot and freshly cooked and very tasty. Lots of coffee. Inexpensive and we'll worth the money.

Visita a comprar Lincolnshire salchichas Brigg!Dejó aquí un bocado rápido - ambos pedimos un tocino y queso brie que estaba servido con barra de ensaladas frescas.Se sentó al lado de la chimenea de gas de lugar un poco desaliñada, pero la señora que nos servía era agradable y parecía estar por su cuenta detrás de la barra.La comida era buena y sabrosa.

No estoy seguro de lo que la persona que prepara la comida, pero seguramente no será 'chef'. Por favor dígale a quien es que cuando un cliente pide un filete de tamaño, que la parte "material" se refiere al nivel de cocina. Eso no significa que el cliente desea un tamaño mediano, cocinado a minuciosamente la incineración.

Dirty rather scruffy place. Staff miserable and unpleasant. Food, freezer to plate and usual stodgy unappetising offering for a place where the management are not interested in the business. Truly awful!!

Llamado en negar la mientras camina en Brigg. Tres niños y dos adultos. Bastante tranquilo y recibimos una cálida bienvenida por parte de la señora del bar. Las bebidas ordenados y fuimos a sentarse fuera. mesas buenas habitaciones sólidas y cestas colgantes son encantadoras. Las bebidas más los dos niños eldest_nup decidió sobresaliente y bistec pastel (tanto 2 por 8 libras). El hijo menor eligió hamburguesa menú de niños. Nosotros, los dos adultos tanto eligió cordero y menta pastel. Puedo decir con toda sinceridad que no era una mala comida por el precio. La Childs hamburguesa era grueso con auténtico queso derretido y no un pedazo de queso barato. El sobresaliente era muy bien preparadas, una gran porción y muy suculentos. Los 3 tartas estaban llenos de grandes trozos de carne. Para todos nosotros 5 para comer por £19 estábamos llenos y feliz.

Dark dingy with no atmosphere or character. Landlord not the most congenial host, really don't think he is that bothered about the pub!

La razón principal para venir a este pub es el fuego, lo que hace que el servicio y cutre entorno pagua más soportable. Pero cuando un amigo que conocí en allí en Navidades me pareció del estado del sofá, por la puerta del pub y un precioso lugar para sentarse, estaba asquerosa, desgarrado y rota cuero, lo que la hacía parecer un incómodo lugar para estar. Las mesas están siempre sucia y la alfombra pegajosa. No vamos a volver.

Certainly not Posh! But interesting old style building & at 2 basic meals for £8,must be Good value.

good food at a reasonable price and a good choice of menu on the main street didn't have to wait too long coffee was still hot when I had finished eating

Pleasant surroundings but some of the furniture needs renewing. I tend to have a drink here early evenings and find it a nice place to relax reading a newspaper or playing pool.

At two meals for £8 you can't go wrong. The steak pie is from Spellmans the local butchers and this deal makes nonsence of takeaways.The service is quick and all in all there's little to touch it in Brigg. You can easily pay twice the price and get something less enjoyable if you go elsewhere.
