How disappointing! The food was nice but the staff were rude! The manageress was completely unsuited to a role where courtesy and manners are needed important. She was terrible which resulted in a most unpleasant experience.

We visited on Saturday 9th March for lunch. The girls waitressing were friendly but the two women working behind the bar were miserable. They didn't smile at any customer they interacted with and it was clear they did not want to be there. Everything was an inconvenience for them. The food was OK but didn't make up for the hostile atmosphere so we won't be coming back.

Excellent mid week dinner. We saw they had a winter sale menu which was great value for money. (Usually its a bit on the punchy side but always nice as a treat.) My partner had a paneer curry which was to die for! Better then a lot of curry houses. Kids shared a margarita pizza which I thought was a nice option to have along side the usual pub classics. Venison burger was spot on too. I thought the staff had abit more about them since our last visit, very attentive, nice to have it as our local

We’ve ate here a couple of times before and returned on Sunday for one of their roast, it did not disappoint! Just like the times before, a really friendly, warm welcoming, staff all looked happy even though you could see they were busy. Service was super quick and friendly like it has been the past couple of times, food was amazing, compliments to the chef! This place is keeping the high standard that we have been told so much about.

Been here a few times, nice pub and good warm atmosphere. I have given a very good rating here as the welcome was good and the thing we came to have, Sunday lunch, was lovely. I know Sunday is busy but, no one came to take a drink order, we had to flag the barman. There wasn't any cutlery on the table, no water jugs brought out to us even though water glasses were on the table. No one came to ask if we wanted more drinks until we were about to pay. You know, the basics were missing. The caulifower cheese i thought was very expensive for the portion. I cant understand why the 3 large pigs in blankets was less money than the cauli cheese. weird! We had to ask for mint sauce and horseradish, again basics for a Sunday dinner. So all in all good food, but service not so good. There didnt seem to be a manager organising the staff.

Not sure what’s happening here at the moment. We’ve been serval times but the last two (December and today) have not been great experiences. Sunday lunch was lovely as always but the service has seriously gone down hill 😢. Table not laid, even though booked, ages to get a drink when bar staff are stood chatting, no offer of sauces etc once roasts delivered, no water brought over even though glasses are on the table as standard, no one asked if we wanted another drink (and we all would have done so you lost out hugely) table of 6 and 10 respectively. Just doesn’t feel like you’ve got it together which is a real shame because your pub is lovely. Also to note, when we came in December, we sat to the right as you come in the door and it was Freezing, radiator wasn’t on.

Visited as part of a group for an 86th birthday celebration in January 2023.  Not long after we arrived, a member of young staff managed to tip a large glass of red wine all over me. Left wet from my glasses to my jeans, and standing outside the baby change/disabled toilet (ir was occupied) for about 10 mins I then had to ask for some paper to try to dry myself off in privacy.  I was given a couple of blue sheets off a roll which couldn't possibly absorb or help. I ended up having to wear my husbands fleece as my top was too wet and cold to sit in all evening. I do appreciate that accidents can happen and that the girl serving was very apologetic and embarrassed, I didnt like to make too much fuss at the time. However,  having been passed twice by the manager and still being left to try to sort myself out without any offer of assistance, both I and others in my party were shocked and disappointed that there was no management assistance offered to either me or the member of staff,   or  any  apology from management for the inconvenience and upset that was caused.  Rather than publicly reviewing at the time I wrote to them and asked them to review their customer service in the event of a future incident. Its now been a year and I haven't had any response from this establishment. Having recently read a reply from another restaurant responding to a similar incident, it has brought this uncomfortable experience, poor service and lack of consideration back in great detail. Hence my late review.

We used to come here when run by Moleface, when it was really good.They did the best pork belly. We ordered Pork Belly today which was not cooked properly at all. It was extremely chewy and full of undercooked white fat, not a sign of crackling, just a flabby rind. The gravy on the plate had a thick skin on and had the consistency of glue and was not at all hot.Pork Belly was served with some cooked pears that were overly salty and again not hot. No other accompaniments. Really let down this establishment.

Not been in for a while due to the place becoming rather unfriendly however, we decided to give it one last try yesterday due to the food always being perfect! We was shocked and happy to discover the change of management, the young girls who seemed to be running the place were very welcoming to every customer I spotted them having contact with, along with always giving a helping hand to the other staff members. My son works in the industry so I know how stressful it can be at times however, that didn’t stop the staff being so attentive and professional. Not to mention the food being even better than we remembered, it's all you need after a long week! I didn’t get a chance to thank the staff yesterday but I managed to compliment the chef before we left who gave a big smile… all in all I felt very welcomed and thrilled with the atmosphere, service and food. Very happy to feel we can return regularly again!!!

The first visit was very good albeit with the Nelson offering a limited food menu. Now they have opened that up and it does make a difference. The range is much greater and the quality is as good. Although the approach road is a little tricky because of over parked cars, there is a small car park dedicated tot he pub. It has a large attractive garden area. Inside it is thoughtfully organised with good seating and decor. Staff are very friendly and efficient even in busy times. Above all the food is well above the average pub food with aspirations to the gastro. Still a way to go there but I wish them well as they are clearly working hard to make food a central and important quality element. Thoroughly recommended.

Having been here on numerous occasions, and supported frequently during Covid by getting f the takeaways, I am sad to say the experience is becoming more average on every visit. The Sunday lunch has always been amazing, however I can’t say it’s the case anymore. The roast pork was nice enough, very little in way of crackling, roars potatoes weren’t crispy, and the sides were delivered with no cutlery. Luckily as we were all family we delved in with our own folks, however not the best of situations given Covid. The waiting staff were very pleasant and nice, however we were hounded off our table 20 mins before our table was due to be handed back. Very disappointed, however I look forward to trying new places to find a fabulous Sunday lunch, as the Nelson, sadly no longer owns the top spot!!

The Nelly has been a great place for good food, good drinks and good service for a long time, but I have to talk to you about the Chocolate Cremeux currently on the menu (Sept 2021).The cremeux is a deeply velvety, bittersweet chocolate "mousse", creamy not bubbly. The Nelly top it with a salted caramel which inspired memories of bonfire-night cinder toffee and a thick, indulgent layer of cream. It's exquisite. The chef who put this together needs to be kept in a very safe place, under the best conditions. I turned up on a very rainy Thursday evening, full of a rotten cold and hormonal, a week out from my period. Can you imagine a chocolate dessert that after one scoop changes your mindset, disposition and likelihood to commit murder so much that you wonder if you've been sent into the future? Of course you can't.This dessert should be issued to all pre-menstrual women, people experiencing hardship, those who've recently lost pets, anyone who's lost in life and needs a reason to exist. The reason to go on, is cremeux.

Booked the Nelson for Sunday lunch today been wanting to go for a while.Nice and efficient staff.Ordered the full Sunday lunch ( 3 meats)All very tasty thou the swede and carrot mash wasnt very well mashed as it had distinct slices of carrot in! While the meal was warm I do feel it could have been hotter, asked for extra gravy which arrived in abundance and the mint sauce was beautiful and fresh, thou maybe presentation could have been better as it was in little ‘takeaway’ pots, not quite a £20 Sunday lunch, but definitely a good step or 2 above many places.I had a pint of Taylor’s Landlord, the first arrived flat ( a crime in Yorkshire punishable by death) the waitress changed it straight away and it came with a fairly tight head, I thought this is the perfect Sunday lunch nowUnfortunately the pint after the first mouthful started to go flat again failing to slake down the glass, on completing the pint I noticed the ‘glass appeared dulled a sign that there is an issue with the glass wash and/or cleaning products.A bit of a shame because the Taylor’s was clearly good, fresh and bright, just needs that good solid pull at the start of draught to create the famous tight head.Will go again

Mo and Poppy couldn't have done anymore, they were very accommodating and the service was exemplary. The food was to a high standard. Well done to all the staff and keep up the great work. Thank you all for making a special day even more special. Would highly recommend.

Came here last Sunday, had not been since before the pandemic and there was a change of staff / management however everyone was lovely and the service was faultless. We both had the sunday lunch (chicken and lamb) and the portions were huge, takes a lot to fill my husband but this did it ! Perfect selection of veg, homemade yorkies, and the pigs in blankets (side order) were monsters ! All delicious ! We will be back soon ... thanks a lot, Andrea H

We recently had a lovely family dinner at The Nelson in Burton Joyce. It was our first dinner out with a young baby, and the staff made us feel very welcome.The food was delicious and presented nicely, the staff were all friendly and also helped suggest some drinks and mixers when we couldn’t decide. Will definitely be returning, and recommend to all.

As soon as you walk through the door it has that country pub atmosphere. The staff greet you with a smile and make you feel so welcome. We were served by Luke. He had amazing customer service skills and could not have been any friendlier. The food was to die for, best roast dinner around. Would definitely recommend it.

The Nelson is an attractive pub down a quiet could de sac with good parking, a great outdoor seating area and a very well presented spacious interior. It describes itself as a gastro pub and form the current (limited) menu it is clearing aspiring oto that. Service is very friendly and efficient and the menu is a cut above the typical pub fare. Whitebait and a fillet of haddock wrapped in a brioche bun caught our eye and very well cooked and presented it was. Prices were very reasonable for example the fish and chips option was in line with or fractionally more expensive than other pubs that offer better than average food. I think this is more than better than average and it will be interesting ot visit again when they have fully recovered form all that lockdowns have thrown in their way to make life as a pub difficult. And I will happily go back as this pub has the real obvious potential to call itself a gastropub.

Great local pub with a friendly welcoming atmosphere. Really nice food and drink. Fizz Friday is value for money! Bar staff couldn’t do enough for us with regards to service. Nice to meet the managers Mo and Poppy and look forward to upcoming live music and drinks!

Brought my dad and family friends over to the nelson with the new management for drinks and dinner on an early Saturday night. Service was amazing by 3/4 different servers we spoke to they accommodated us well with us having a few drinks in the garden before having dinner in the pub. Food was amazing and great recommendations for us all to try. Thank you so much the nelson staff.

We went to try more food from the Cod’s Scallops pop up kitchen at the Nelson. We have been before and enjoyed it so much we wanted to go again.It’s only on Monday and Tuesdays and as we were feeling lazy and didn’t want to cook we decided to eat at the Nelson again. Tonight we tried the fish pie with seasonal greens and a side order of fresh chips which we shared. The meal was cooked to perfection, very tasty and filling. The service was excellent in fact 3 separate members of staff checked everything was to our liking and I could barely speak as I was juggling piping hot food around my mouth. I enjoyed every bite and I was stuffed. We will definitely return. Well done to you all

Had Sunday lunch here and I have to say the food was incredible from the meat down to the gravy. Me and my whole family were welcomed by a lovely young lady and they honestly couldn’t do enough for us. The prices aren’t lowest out there but you get what you pay for and after speaking to the manager and finding out they source all the produce locally it’s no wonder the quality is amazing. Will recommend to everyone I know and we will be returning when we are next up to visit family

We shall not be returning, just visited for Sunday lunch . Appalling, my mother and I both ordered the pork loin roast £14.50 each My husbands lamb was ok he was given 2x slices of lamb But the pork loin was just 1x piece of loin pork with ALL fat round and the most tiny bit of pork loin certainly NOT worth the asking price £14.50 I complained and changed mine to the chicken breast which was a little better My mother received non offer of any discount off her pork fat dinner and was still charged £14.50 Will not be returning again Talking to some locals today they were telling us the problems lie since their good chef left and not been the same since The supervisor incharge wasn't even bothered about making it right ???? Wish we had gone as originally planned across the road now Argh well you just don't return ........

The tiniest, and I mean the tiniest portion of fish I have ever seen from a takeaway, bar none. It wouldn't have even been enough for my 7yo. Chips were ok. Flavour average. Definitely won't bother
