The Full Nelson in Lewisham

We get vegan burgers delivered via delivero, often. They and tasty, decent size and delivered quickly.

I was having a horid day however went to the Full Nelson in Deptford and the team made me feel brilliant. Thank you Sofie and Tina. You both are amazing and started my birthday perfectly.

Amazing food, great beers, cool atmosphere and friendly staff. Its just 1000% epic! Yes it's veggie/vegan, but honestly as a practicing carnivore it's still my favourite burger place in London!

Stumbled across this place on a Monday evening when most places were closed. My veggie son saw it. A small unassuming place with only two other customers in (Monday!) but a good range of drinks and a small menu (always a good sign) . We weren’t disappointed we had a range of burgers and the seitanic wings, we all agreed that it was the best veggie food we had had for some time. Definitely go back when visiting as my son lives close this will be sooner rather than later. I look forward to going when it is busy as I imagine it would be a good atmosphere.

I'm guessing this narrow little bar used to be a barbers or hairdressers back in the day, but now it's a cool hangout that sells vegan and veggie burgers and treats. Space is tight inside, but it packs in the atmosphere and the fun. Never had a bad night here.

The veggie food here is really delicious. They have a great range of beers and other drinks too. It's a pretty small place which makes it cosy and and an enjoyable atmosphere.

I live a 5 minute walk from this place and have to stop myself from going in every single day. Even if you’re not a vegetarian, these burgers are amazing. Plus, the sides are just as good. My go to combo is the ol’ dirty colonel, wings and coney fries. Also, the Sunday brunch is top notch as well.

Nous avons découvert le Nelson un peu par hasard ! Belle découverte encore une fois, que ce fut bon ! Des plats végétariens à ma convenance, de belles saveurs, les frites étaient juste parfaites ( paprika ) ! C’est tout petit mais ça a un charme dingue , le rendez vous des inconditionnels de toute évidence :)

The Full Nelson is a magnificent but tiny bar selling veggie/vegan burgers. It is a wonderful little place in the heart of Deptford in London. As a place for those who love burgers; are vegetarian, and enjoy a drink it is unsurpassed. The Full Nelson is on Deptford Broadway near the High Street. It does not particularly stand out so needs to be looked out for. There appears to not be as much behind the name as it appears. There is no real Nelson connection. The only wrestling involved is a couple of action figures tucked away in the decor so the wit of the name may have been lost in translation. Instead this place is more goth inspired with various moody or surrealist art pieces on the walls. To those who like such things they are great and really help the feel of the place. Although the clientele is blatantly hipster the underlying sentiment seems to be far more interesting. The late 90s alt rock soundtrack was thoroughly enjoyable. Full Nelson is a little cramped. A few tables manage to squeeze in along with some barstools but the place is easily full. The encouragement is to share tables and that’s generally possible. What makes Full Nelson stand out is the incredible burgers. The range is great and they are just the most amazing veggie burgers. Well worth going out of the way for. Unlike too many efforts, what works here is the full-on approach. A hot burger comes with jalapeños and various chili sauces. It is not a half-hearted effort and caters for the vegetarian who still plays hard. Other burgers are also exceptional and have a range of delicious flavours. Other burger-style sides like wings are also available. The food is just so fantastic. Being able to eat like this is a pleasure the previous generation of vegetarians did not know. A shame Full Nelson has only been in existence a few years. Drinks are fine and include a small group on tap. An IPA does the trick. The range is not huge but this is a small pub. Service was partly friendly but not overly keen to strike up conversation. Food came out warm and tasty. Payment is at the bar. Despite the size constraints and a bit of a wiggle to get in, Full Nelson is well worth it. Price is not bad and the food is stunning. The kind of place that those of us from a previous generation wish we had at the time. Despite projecting a hipster public image and it being a small pub in an unremarkable area, Full Nelson is one of the most delicious eateries anywhere.

With my friend being Vegan, we were glad to find this hidden gem. We were even happier that there were a few seats available (it’s a rather small place). The food was absolutely lovely and the service was excellent. On a separate note, I also want to thank the young lady member of staff who helped me style my hair into pigtails when my friend was clueless. That’s going above & beyond!

Perfect place for drinks and fabulous fast food - unpretentious, v casual, relaxed and without frills but friendly and provides amazing vegan food with lots of choice... my burger and chips were excellent! - Very satisfied, I highly recommend this little gem.

although a very small room we managed to find a table. the service was very friendly and we where served quickly. the vegan burger was amazing as was the pancakes . Delicious food and great draught beer. if I am in the area I will be calling in again for sure :-)

Tuck away in a corner of south London not quite gentrified is the tiny (5 tables) Full Nelson. If the Full Nelson was not a vegan restaurant, it probably would be a tattoo parlor. But do not let this put you off as even if you not vegetarian nor vegan this place has still have lots to offer for everyone. Burger that taste almost like the real thing? Check. Vegan scottish egg that will make you wonder? Check. Yummy corn dog? Check! But it is the Deep Fried Oreo Cookie that alone make this destination worth the trip. Oh, the cocktails are not bad either.

Benedict vegan eggs are a must eat. On Sunday brunch. Cosy atmosphere in tinny space. 🐕 are welcomed.

Wow!! Warm and friendly welcome. The beer is to die for... awesome. The music.... heaven.. it takes me back to the golden ages of amazing metal and rock.. bring it on. Will be back...

OMG. This place is awesome.. Small but good atmosphere.. Food is first class. Friendly staff.. Be back definitely
