Lovely meal smothered chicken for me. I had the berry sundae which could have done with some sweetener on the fruit as they were too sharp.

Bacon was like leather. Eggs were rubbery. Continental was ok , except the bread was hard around edges from being left out too long, a good selection drinks and cereals,we arrived quite early, so unsure how long bread or the hot food had been sat out for.

So many things unavailable, like rice!! Told initially no replacements available so just had to pick something else. Apparently the kitchen was feeling very nice, so they did eventually give kids chips instead of sweet corn! Parking very difficult

The food is excellent and offered in generous portions. The service is satisfactory, with some staff members being quite friendly while others may not be as attentive. The ambiance is pleasant, and the pub is well-maintained and clean. I highly recommend it and will certainly return when I'm in Stroud.

Went there today, had the mixed grill and upgraded the steak. When it arrived, looked like it had a massive chunk missing, the chicken had water in it, the gamón had white fatty bits, so it was definitely undercooked. We also ordered chicken wings and they tasted stale. The fries tasted stale. Massive disappointment. My drink, a coke had a lemon piece which looked like it had been reused from another drink, it was vile, there was rubbish in the floor. Will not return. It wasn’t busy so it was obviously a kitchen and staff issue. Management needs to step it up, it’s a shame because it was a special occasion for us and left really disappointed and scared thinking the food would make us sick.

Don't usually write negative reviews but was less than happy last night and will not visit again. Was very quiet and 3 members of staff were on shift. We were not greeted by the blonde waitress, she was talking so we found a seat and that's where all her hospitality ended. She didn't check in on us, so had to ask for a kids menu. The man at the bar was the most helpful but he was at the end of the shift. When it came to desserts, 30 mins and tbey didn't come, waitress was too busy putting out cutlery in a quiet restaurant, so we went. We were offered a refund for the desserts when I asked if they were coming. But not one smile from either waitress or even a friendly manner. Food was what you'd expect for the price, my daughter didn't like her her pizza, so didn't eat it, was later sick at night. Not sure if this was related or not. Customer service and a Christmas spirit was truly missing here and wouldn't go again.

Visited with family for a bit of a pre-Christmas dinner. Was very disappointed with the veggie christmas dinner option which was a shadow of its meaty equivalent - no sprouts or parsnips, just a few bits of broccoli and some peas (and roast potatoes). Can't help feeling the veggie meal is supplementing the cost of the turkey dinner... Beware if you are a vegetarian eating there on Christmas Day as the same menu applies - you will be very disappointed as your meaty counterparts tuck into a much more substantial meal :-(

This is not how it used to be, breakfast is really good, but evening meal is not so good, my daughter had steak and this was only browned/sealed on one side, the underneath was still raw. She likes her steak medium/rare but this one could still run in the fields. It was for her birthday so we had a table of 10, it was empty apart from a couple of people and us. They also no longer have a vegan option pudding except non dairy ice cream (I don't like ice cream) used to serve a chocolate torte (vegan).

We haven't eaten at this Brewers Fayre place for many years and have been twice in recent weeks. The first time was on a Friday lunchtime, and we hadn't booked. There was plenty of room for us, and the staff were welcoming and helpful. The food was excellent and good value for money. Our second visit was on a Sunday lunchtime for the carvery meal, and this time, we booked online as it was bound to be busier. It was easy to book and we decided to eat at 12.15pm to avoid the very busiest period at 1pm. It was still busy, but their setup for serving food and drink was very efficient. Another great meal, and we were able to benefit from a 25% off email. Convenient location, great variety of quality food and friendly staff. Excellent 😀

Always love a Brewers fayre breakfast as they are such good value. We sat around the corner from the food area, and I found a bit of a letdown. Where we sat was dark, strangely enough, I felt as though I was sitting in a different pub. The biggest letdown for me was the lack of fesh orange. There wasn't any on offer at all. The hot food was lovely in taste, but there wasn't very much of it considering the amount of seating they offered. It was exceptionally busy, but yet they kept running out of food items, and replenishment weren't fast.

Came in on Sunday afternoon for a meal, 1st time I’ve been in for years and I have to say it’s gone downhill! Being told false information by staff on carvery time and having gone up for my carvery they had cleared it up BEFORE the stop serving time of 5pm this was at 4:45 pm! Having worked in a similar establishment if we did that we’d get complaints! Other food took ages to come from the kitchen had to ask where the food was! Bearing in mind it wasn’t Sunday peak time as we would have understood! After this experience won’t be returning!

The service is great. However, Sunday lunch I had on November 12 was disappointing. The carvery was less than average. I had the gammon which was a small portion although cooked ok. Yorkshire pudding was cold. All the vegetables were cold. Roast potatoes were coated in something I have not tasted before. Cauliflower cheese were tiny florets with tasteless cheese sauce. Gravy a little greasy also cold. I have Sunday carvery at other Brewers Faye restaurants that were better cooked than the Old Nelson. I suggest to take a look at the produce served before ordering. Just to add the food is better described as lukewarm.
