Lord Nelson Inn in South Tyneside - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Drinks expensive, food non-descript and service slow. The garden peas on the plate (more peas than actual food) were microwaved until the were dry. Steak asked for well done - it was more like rubber.

Popped into the Lord Nelson on Sunday for lunch with my son. We both had the roast beef dinner which was lovely with plenty of yorkies and gravy. Even though we were both stuffed after I found room for Bakewell tart and custard. I will definitely put this one on my places to come back for lunch.

Came in with the other half and had a cracking pint of Guinness with my burger, will be back. P.S. the other half says her burger was fantastic as well! 😄

Lovely pub great atmosphere and friendly staff. The food was delicious we went for the burger and a drink deal was delicious.

Had a really good visit to the Lord Nelson The manager Nicola couldn’t do enough for us The food and drink were really good and the place is nice and clean will definitely be back

Always been my local, such a quiet and cheap place for a few drinks. Great and quick service from kai. Will be coming back.

Was at The Lord Nelson on Saturday 29th June just gone for some drinks and we had a quick bite to eat to .Food was nice and the service was excellent got served a few times from a lad called kai was very helpful and polite and got served very quickly every time by him and thats what you need when your out . So thankyou kai for making are night.

I was here with me and friends for a couple drinks , and the service I got from staff was amazing, especially the barmaid called Heather , very friendly and will definitely be coming again soon

Came in for a spot of fat scran. The barmaid Dion rang through the order with delicacy and manners. The bacon and cheese toastie by the chef macca was unreal.

I don’t even know where to start!!! Having ate at the Nelson many times and always enjoyed the food, we decided to go for Sunday lunch. Deciding not to have a roast dinner, we ordered some of the small plates and a mixed grill. We asked for the steak to be cooked medium but this unfortunately was so over cooked it had to be left and the peas were clearly reheated. The small plates had been cremated and we were shocked that we were being presented with burnt food. We decided to have a desert in the hope that it would make up for the poor lunch we had just had. I ordered the sticky toffee pudding. One bite and I discovered it was ginger sponge with toffee sauce on top. I complained to the young lady behind the bar but was not offered a refund or even at least a free desert or drink as an apology. Not sure why the Nelly has gone down hill of late but we’ve decided to give the place a miss for a while. Seemed understaffed too.

Enjoyed a lovely family dinner today, the staff are all very friendly the meals were brilliant and good sized portions, everyone was very happy with their meals and service and we will definitely be back soon!

Lovely friendly staff, mince and dumplins was amazing. Had a great time will definitely be returning time and time again. Keep up the great work guys

visited with my family had a lovely time lovely food good atmosphere and friendly staff will definitely be going back for meal again

Absolutely delicious very nice food, friendly place, lovely staff. Plenty of social distancing going on. Table service. Always had good food here . Never disappointed.

I've visited for meals with my family and the food was good home made and it has a good car park with a small play area outside and a large tent for weddings etc.But I've been many times to watch different bands on a Saturday night and it's always rocking ,gets very full but I dont mind, visited over the Christmas holidays and it was very very busy toe to toe but the band was great.

We pop in occasionally to catch up with friends. There is always a friendly welcome and good atmosphere. It’s sometimes very busy and the staff struggle to keep up with orders but this is a sign of the popularity, and limited by the space behind the bar. I think some of the prices are a little steep but others a great, the luck of the draw I suppose!

This is a good solid and large Sunday lunch, the quality is not that of a high class restaurant, but is good the staff are kind and helpful, if I live in the area would be my choice for a large sunday lunch.The pork and Lamb I had where well good and served on a large pile of veg, with a large yorkshire.The only thing i was not keen was the cabbage wish was a little water for being boil to long, but the other veg was cooked more to my liking.

We visited here on Easter Sunday, and had an absolutely fantastic meal. The meat fell apart when you tried to cut it and the rest of the meal matched this.

My local. Attentive and friendly staff. Food was outstanding as always. Can thoroughly recommend. The live music is always good, and they are dog friendly too.

Have had Sunday here on several occasions and always enjoyed Chicken,which normally is a large portion of breast.Ordered yesterday and was very disappointed with the Chicken,a very small wing with a tiny bit of breast and a small chicken drumstick,wish I had taken a photograph.Cant complain about the vegetables,Yorkshire pudding or gravy,all very tasty but cant say the same for the meat.

Popped in here on Saturday for lunch with the family and whilst the wait was pretty long due to a private function, the food was great. The steak hanging kebab was lush, and it was a very generous portion size with noticeably great chips!

Great family orientated pub lovely outdoor areas for adults and children alike. Really nice staff good mixed selection of age groups good entertainment in the garden area under large gazebos. Set in a lovely little village of Monckton jarrow.

Visited with family for Sunday lunch. We reserved our table and I’m glad we did as it got pretty busy! The staff are lovely and the service was fast. The Sunday lunch was delicious. We will all certainly be returning! 😊

Happened to be visiting the area and noticed a live band due to perform here. Whilst waiting we had a drink in the spacious beer garden, which also had a huge outdoor marquee. The place was very full of people enjoying the spring sunshine.When the band was due to start we moved indoors. It was as full, and vibrant, inside as out. People of all ages mixing together. It must be fantastic to have a local like this. Many of the locals spoke to us, which was nice as we were complete strangers to them. The band consisted of a number of local musicians who played exceptionally well. Staff also very friendly. A great atmosphere and a great night.

Always a warm welcome. Great service, very friendly staff, always a good atmosphere. Great live music, and the food is reasonaby priced and value for money.

Thank you Lesley and staff for a fantastic night for Sarah’s 21st birthday outstanding food and service 👍🏻

I ordered a pint and the glass I was given was so dirty. it had /GREASY/ finger prints all over it. It almost looked like they'd cleaned the inside of the glass but not the outside of it. Then, when I went to the toilet, I was taken back by the smell but I went into the cubicles and all of the toilets had wee on the seats, stuff left in the toilets, there was an overflowing bin. It was disgusting.

The atmosphere is good - when a live band is on - on but it can get busy at times. Personally I don't think it has much atmosphere despite living down the road I frequent other Pubs.The Staff are friendly but you can miss your turn at the bar if you aren't known.The food is often hit and miss and basic middle of the road food.

Brilliant food excellent service and quality service staff always friendly and the service is second to none fantastic atmosphere and always a warm welcome

Visited for Sunday lunch last week and the meals were excellent, my wife had a Chicken Dinner and I had my favourite Gammon, Egg and Chips. Looked forward to visiting again today but totally different. My wife had the Chicken Dinner which was dry and tasteless, no Gammon on so opted for Roast Beef Dinner. Firstly I requested some French Mustard and was given English Mustard, served Pork instead of the Beef requested, asked for more gravy and given half a gravy bowl, the meal was so tasteless and bland that I left most of it, terrible. Will certainly not be returning!

Worst Sunday lunch I’ve had in a long rime waited 45 minutes and plate came full of water due to veg not being drained 😡 tinned green beans and frozen peas

this pub has great food friendly staff live music and lots of great outdoor space well worth a visit

We used to take my mam for lunch across to the Nelson as she was in the most fantastic nursing home just next door. We always had a great time and we all have lots of videos on our phones of mam singing the hokey kokey.

food was excellent, fantastic service, couldn't fault it. Have also eaten here a few times and have always been happy with the food provided. Saturday night are fantastic for live music, atmosphere was electric. i would recommend it to anyone for a good night out

Attended a christening hear in the beer garden (tent), food was excellent, area was cordoned off, fantastic service, couldn't fault it. Have also eaten here a few times and have always been happy with the food provided. This is now our local.

Visited here for a pub lunch and were very disappointed. It was a rotten day pouring of rain and we were really looking forward to a nice pub lunch. When it arrived we were very disappointed the gravy was very thin, chips very processed and very few. fish poor. The service wasn’t great barman quite rude when I asked him where male toilets were since they have been moved hint of sarcasm in his response. Very disappointed overall.

After hearing good things about the food we went as a family for Sunday lunch. Two bland, lukewarm chicken dinners. The chicken was dry and the vegetables were tasteless. My son's penne pasta which was supposed to be in a cream sauce with mushrooms and peppers was a bowl of pasta full of onions with a dull grey mush! His garlic bread was soggy and barely cooked!

Just live round the corner but have been meaning to try the Sunday lunch. Was really good, proper home cooked Sunday lunch, massive portions and excellent value for money. Well worth ignoring the local chain pubs and calling in here.

The venue was very busy due to a Christmas Fayre in the garden area, service was very slow and the meal poor. Food very bland, hard Yorkshire puddings, over cooked sprouts and mushy peas which are normally served with fish and chips, NOT a Sunday roast.

This local pub has very nice food; it's tasty and well priced. Sometimes the service can be poor but the food is always lovely.

I love this place so much I’ll be going for Christmas lunch as I have done for the past five year. Leslie the owner and all her staff make your feel very welcome. Food lovely as it’s all freshly made.

Go here quite often for a bit of lunch. There is lots to choose from, homemade chips, pizzas, kids meals. great in the summer, lovely garden and friendly staff.

This is a excellent pub for lunch. Real English food : fish&chips;, minced beef & leek dumpling, teriyaki salmon fillet served on a bed of stir fried vegetables and much more. Desserts are lemon cheese cake, chocolate fudge cake, sticky toffee pudding, ice cream sunday, all served with either ice cream, cream or custard. If you want a very good pub lunch, this is the place without hesitation.

Always a warm welcome, good food, reasonable price,beer gaden with heaters and marque,lovely when the suns out.

Lovely place for food excellent service and quality priced food great staff and very helpful highly recommended this place

We arrived at 19.15 bought a drink and asked for a food menu, the barmaid said " foods off" (...

Love this place for lovely meals, the hubbys favourite is fish and chips, I just have something different every time I go, quite a good selection on the menu and also have a specials board. Staff are very good and prices very reasonable, very cosy place.

Intenté después de un largo período desde la última visita, finalmente que el menú en la mesa, era sólo para la semana de días sin mencionar el almuerzo de domingo. Finalmente dijo que había que regular la orden desde el bar. Servicio muy lento, la comida estaba bien pero ya cuando no tienes un asado guisantes blandos en domingo.

Find this pub to be the best in the area . Not the cheapest but well worth a visit . Food is lovely weekdays and sunday dinners very good . Great back garden with play area for kids .

Handy to walk the dogs there whilst stopping for refreshment. Nice beer garden but kids park could do with an overhaul. Ate twice here before & food was spot on.....

This might be a great pub if you are local because when it gets busy that's who gets served first you will stand and rot and if you ask why the bar staff respond by saying if you don't come we will have less to serve not a problem I won't be back and i have lived in Jarrow for 52 years

Great village pub Excellent service at the bar and a good selection of food on the menuExcellent outdoor seating area and caters for functions as well as having live entertainment every weekend and quiz nights etc

Not a bad pub to socialise or a meeting place, good age mix.....toilets spotless but would not recommend the food. .. waited 45 mins to arrive and looked like it had been thrown together in 2 minutes. ..steak in a ciabatta was very chewy and to under cooked for me my husband ate mist of it because he was so hungry. . He ordered the gammon which had been blasted on high heat and was one step from being burnt and very greasy... half the plate was covered in dried up garden peas... gravy was so lumpy was more like mince...I wouldn't serve that up to family in my own home never mind to the public...homemade chips are good. Just not very hot. Only ate as much as we did as was so hungry and had paid so much in a taxi to get there.

Very friendly pub with excellent food and value for money. Would definately recommend and really enjoy going there.

Visited the Lord Nelson on a Saturday night and it was heaving! Live music band playing we had to escape to the beer garden to chat as 2 of us ex workmates wanted to now how our colleagues were all getting on without us. Luckily they have several massive tables out there. Would be lovely on a sunny easter evening.

Visited with my husband for a few drinks. Friendly staff and a nice relaxed atmosphere. Very welcoming.

The Lord Nelson is a great pub with lovely decor & friendly people. You're guaranteed a good quality pint. The food is great, cook to a good standard with fabulous lebanese flat bread.

A friendly pub, pleasant and helpful staff. Good bar meals, plenty of vegetarian choices. Live music and a Sunday night quiz, outside space for summer. A pub I've been visiting for many years, down to earth, only moan is there's a poor wine choice. But a great place to relax.

Invited to a small surprise party last Saturday afternoon and what a lovely pub . Lovely decor , great staff and the food was fab . Cant wait to go again, I live near the airport in Newcastle so a bit of a trip but on a summers day I will be jumping on the metro and heading to Monkton lane for sure .

This was our first visit and we were really impressed! The service was great due to staff being so friendly. Food and drinks both reasonably priced. We will definitely be returning.

Never been disappointed, food is always lovely. I've been to a private party they have catered, also for tea and Sunday lunch and it's very nice Homely place and can be lively

It was a first for us to use "The Nelson" for food. As we live relatively local we had friends giving us good reviews.We had friends from Denmark who enjoyed the local pub feel as well as traditional pub fayre.I order the Steak and Ale pie on recommendation and my Wife had the Mince and Dumplings....we were not disappointed.Generous portions and very tasty.Our Danish friend ordered the Steak but unfortunately we were informed after we had ordered, that it was off.Disappointing that the Chef could not communicate with the very pleasant bar staff who had to come over and explain that our order could not be completed.That aside, the food was great and we will no doubt be back again..

A recently redecorated local pub with character. Always clean with friendly staff. A good selection of beers, lagers and spirits. Food is well cooked and reasonably priced. Often have local bands playing at the weekend. Quiz on Sunday nights.

We have had many brilliant times here, the food is fantastic and great value for money, the drinks are well priced and they recently introduced a gin menu. It's perfect for that family meal with an amazing outdoor area to keep the kids amused and great seating for that summer pint. They regularly have live music on the weekend and done struggle to fill the place, the atmosphere never dissapoints and the weekly Sunday quiz is also a great time.

A lovely little pub with really friendly customer service. The food is absolutely beautiful! Great chef. You get massive portions which I love. Visited a few times now and will be back!

Been going to lord nelson for many a year rear garden a favourite of ours in sunny times interior just had an excellent makeover new menu excellent pub meals at very competitive prices ,if you are football fan it's great local games always on not raucous fans at all Lesley and staff brill at all times lovely wood burner going makes you feel nice and snug brill

Lovely decorated, Sunday lunch was deliciousStarter was amazing as was lunch. Excellent service Cosy warm friendly pub. Need the menu for Sunday lunch changed as it's not clear the starter and main course are priced separately

Came here with the family for Sunday lunch , ordered 2 meats without realising how big this was actually going to be! Beautiful food, great service and great value. Will not go anywhere else for Sunday lunch now!

This place has a fabulous chef, never had a bad meal here. Very good for the price. Would recomend. Nice tidy pub beer is well kept, staff are friendly. Always want to help! They have a good choice i chose "whitby scampi" mmm fab. While my partner went for the chicken sizzler, nearly fainted when it arrived at how big the dish was. Ha ha ha her face was a picture and she is hard to please! Great atmosphere after.

Great atmosphere at the Lord Nelson, well priced with a great selection of food too. Nice decor in the middle of Monkton Village.

The Pub is in a small village between Jarrow town centre and hebburn good beer and food OK for kids to had a great time there.

This pub appeared to be the best choice of three pubs in the area that we checked based on trip advisor reviews. Really, I have to comment that the other two must be quite poor. The traditional Sunday lunch offered chicken, pork, lamb or beef. The lamb being sold out we all chose beef and this was the only component of the meal which was quite agreeable being tasty and tender. The rest of the meal......mash, 2 small roasties, mashed swede, carrots, cabbage, peas, Yorkshire pudd and gravy was tasteless and not particularly warm. The pudd tasted as if it was the frozen variety, and it was hard. The pub itself was untidy with some uncleared tables and a little 'grimy'. Service was slow. Our meals were brought without cutlery and then we had to wait ages for it to arrive. Probably why food was cold. We won't be returning. Lunch was £6.95.

Called into the Lord Nelson today for Sunday lunch having read the reviews on trip advisor. This is not a carvery, just old style portions on big plates. I don't think I'll ever venture anywhere else for Sunday lunch again as the portions were large, the price at under £7 per head more than reasonable and the quality was fantastic. This bar has ample seating but I'd advice reserving a table. Also free parking available but this soon fills as this is a popular venue. In the garden area there is outdoor seating for smokers etc, a play area for kids and a marquee for functions (christenings etc.) with its own separate outdoor seating area.Great food, great service, great atmosphere, highly recommend.

Arrived with friends for a leisurely lunch and ended up staying all afternoon sat outside drinking wine. Good selection of food to suit all and the fish and chips were exceptional!

Lovely pub in a great location.Very busy when I went on a Saturday night and service was friendly however customers not being served in order was annoying.

Can not fault anything about it. Customer service from Leslie was amazing, she was so helpful when I was organizing my buffet. Great atmosphere and lovely food. Definitely recommend

It's a long time since we've been to the Lord Nelson and because of the good reviews, chose to give it a try last Sunday. It was a reasonable meal, with generous portions, nothing to complain about there. The only thing that I would comment on was the volume of the TVs which were all showing football. I realise that it was a big match but not everyone is a football fan and we left as soon as we'd finished our meal as it was too noisy to hold a conversation. The other thing which we all commented on was a very sticky table where varnish had been sanded off then left unfinished. Surely a few new coats of varnish could be easily applied? (Ours wasn't the only one.) All in all, a bit disappointing and I don't suppose we'll return unless we hear there have been improvements.

Lovely pub massive outside area with big outside tent for bands and ideal for wedding /engagement reception always busy with bands on every weekend including bank holidays great choice of drinks all set in a lovely village

Called in for a mender, with severe hangover, nice to sit outside in the garden and listen to the live music from a function in the tented area. Fish and chips were excellent, crisp light batter and huge chunky home made chips, sorted me right out. Loads going on here on a weekend with various bands, a very well run pub, lovely setting, good food and pleasant staff.

Me and my partner decided to pop in for some food whilst walking our dogs, we both got burgers and could not believe the size of the generous portions of home cooked food, as soon as we sat down the lovely bar women came over with a bowel of water for our dogs, despite having a function on, our food came out quite quick, at the end of our meal the same women came walking over with some mince a tatties for our dogs! Well worth a visit, the staff are awesome, the food is fantastic both quality and quantity and the pub itself has a very good atmosphere

great cozy pub atmosphere, friendly helpful staff, large kids play area. really good menu not to big or small. always plenty of "specials" and on the two for £12 offer there is no comprimise to the quantity or quality of the food. my own favourite is the mince and dumplings with the best home made chips around. definitely worth a visit.

My wife visited this venue for lunch today and enjoyed the pensioners special. There were four options: Sausage and Mash, Fish and Chips, Mince and Dumplings or Gammon Steak all priced at £4.95.We both had the Gammon which was very tasty with Chunky Chips, it came with either a Fried Egg or Pineapple and the usual salad garnish.The meal was enjoyable but with slow service due to only one barmaid serving drinks and serving meals.

Had an amazing afternoon with fabulous friends, food was exceptional, fantastic, friendly staff. We will be back. I would definitely recommend this village pub. Jewel in the crown of Jarrow.

lovely surroundings, very reasonably priced meals, and drinks, would recommend a visit, I believe there is an outside area at the rear to sit and eat.

Warm and friendly, full of local character and one of the best bartenders in Newcastle area! Great bands on Friday nights, good atmosphere, this place never disappoints when it comes to either a relaxing cool off after a busy day at work either a fun weekend night. Highly recommended!

The Lord Nelson used to be where we went with our mam and dad when we were kids! I have visited a couple of times now I am older for an alcoholic beverage. Friendly place, good prices and a good atmosphere.

I took my family to the Lord Nelson for Sunday lunch,we were not dissappointed.The meal was more than enough with a good selection of meats.I did not have enough room for a desert!The service was quick and the staff are pleasant and efficient.At £6.45p for a lunch I thought it was good value.I would certainly return.Well done Lesley,the manageress.x

First time visit as a family of four on a Sunday lunchtime. Very nicely decorated, clean and stylish. Friendly bar staff and pleasant atmosphere. We ordered two adult Sunday roasts and two childrens portions. They were colossal, beautifully presented on massive plates and tasted delicious. Proper, fresh veg, tasty meat and huge yorkshire puds. The children's portion would've been enough for me, as they were very generously sized.The service was the quickest we've ever had......under ten minutes!! Very impressive. As my ten year old said, "wow, that was even quicker than a drive through!!".Would recommend.

Perhaps I'm a little biased as the Lord Nelson is my local, but it has a great vibe and very welcoming to children. Friday's after work there's great, free food on the bar and on Sundays, you should book a table and find out why it's so popular for lunch.

I remembered this pub as a child running around as a child in the beer garden when my parents took me. Then as a older teenager playing pool in the games room. Since then the pub has changed with all the small rooms being knocked out into a large bar and eating areas. I visited the pub to met up with an old friend on a Wednesday evening. The bar was reasonably full and it was comfortable and clean. There is a nice atmosphere and the evening was enjoyable. The draught beer selection was average. Only one member of staff on but this was not a problem. There were a mixture people with groups of men and women. No trouble makers. Definitely worth a visit for casual drink.

Nice meals very generous portion sizes. They do lovely carveries. It's family friendly but is very much a pub atmosphere.

After waiting almost an hour for 2 Sunday dinners we were told there was no lamb left. The Yorkshire puddings were raw on the bottom, vegetables were dull and underwhelming. The general sense is that they can't cope with the number of orders, as staff repeatedly served food to the wrong tables and we're shouting orders to groups of waiting customers--I think some staff training would help as no one seemed to have a clue what was going on. Very disappointed.

Again, another good night at the Nelson. Place was buzzing the band were great, but what about the toilets - dreadful! With the amount of ladies there should be more toilets & the sink area needs to be improved there isn't enough space, there was no soap,sink was blocked & no toilet roll.All these things are basic & wouldn't take much to change, but would make a huge difference to our visit.

This pub is lovely and usually always packed from a range of ages. The bands that they put on are usually great and the drinks choice is good, Sunday afternoon is lovely as it's not too packed and you can enjoy your drink in peace and quiet - the beer garden is a nice size and always kept clean

When going up to order a couple of drinks all the servers were busy so I was standing waiting my turn, then all of a sudden splash. An incompetent barman trying to use a cocktail shaker splashed pimms all over my shirt, suit jacket and tie. I did shout for him to try and get some sort of apology or something but he couldn't hear me so I spoke to another server and all she said was "well he wouldn't have done it on purpose" and gave me some kitchen role. Not to be funny but staining a suit, shirt and tie and getting handed some kitchen role isn't a fair trade. Terrible customer service all I wanted was an apology but now I'd prefer some compensation for my dry cleaning bill.

Another great afternoon out at the Nelson. Friendly staff food second to none you are made so welcome! Hats off to you Lesley your doing a fantastic job! Already booked for Christmas Day lunch!

Mixed to be honest re food . Rate it midway between a 'zing / microwave ' pub and one selling fresh food . My meal , mince and dumplings - a north east pub staple menu , hot , lots of it , but frozen mince and tasteless , my partners , chicken stir fry fresher and tastier . Pre drink order , member of staff saying ' yes what can I get you while still sweeping up behind the bar , no hand wash etc . Food placed on table with little comment and no simple check ' is everything ok etc'

Have been a few times lately and each time the food has been average at best, and the ale has been "off". The place is tired....need a thorough clean at the very least, and ideally refurbishment. The food menus are laminated and dog-eared and the selection hasn't changed for years!

Lovely warm comfortable pub, nice for a quiet one or on a weekend for a night out with your mates! Deffinately recommend you give it a try!

Good atmosphere and always great bands on.don't dislike anything Staff always polite and good at their jobs. They sell a good selection of drinks including cocktails at reasonable prices..
