It is a quiet back Street pub. Plenty of people but the interia is perfect for small groups to chat, with a low background noise level.

We had a pint after a busy weekend working and had a warm welcome, really well kept beer, and relaxing uplifting music playing. Comfy atmosphere for a chat, just a shame not to see more people making use of this hidden jewel.

This is a cosy pub... I'm loving the Halloween decorations especially the bat (photo) 😅 I met the owners and staff as I completed my work....Really nice people. The lord Nelson is everything you need or want from your local pub. I love quirky and the multitude of novelty salt and pepper pots are a great touch.(photos) Finally It has a large amount of outside seating. I was there at dusk and the outside lighting makes it look stunning... This is a beautiful building with great people at the helm.... A real down to earth local boozer. 😎

Rude staff and no atmosphere, no wonder you only get a handful of people in there, won’t be long before it’s finished as the staff do their best to make you feel unwelcome

A true backstreet local which is always great to see. The keg and cask options were a decent selection too and well kept. They were along the lines of what a Young’s hostelry would be serving. Homemade sandwiches also seemed to be on offer in the fridge. The landlady and locals were all very friendly too. The pub was well maintained and spotless to boot. There is a nice outdoor area at the front, which was nice to relax in when sunny. The beers were very reasonable which does make you wonder why the bigger chains charge a small fortune these days. Worth supporting this local if you’re nearby.

This is just a fantastic cozy little local; decor is gorgeous, pub is spotlessly clean, and the lady behind the bar couldn't have been more accommodating to us. Sadly, food needs to be pre-ordered and parking is on-street.

Still a great local pub. Beer is tip top as usual, punters are a friendly local bunch. Recently tackified by an unnecessary redec, proper pub tables have been replaced by tables with tops that I couldn't work out whether they were timber or IKEA style foil. Painted wallpaper has been replaced by a plank effect printed wallpaper which only made me ask 'why?' They have kept some features which now look out of place with the new decor. It's exactly the same underneath, same beer, brewery, punters, staff. I think someone was given some bad style advice.

This boozer is stuck in the 70s. No character or charm. It is dreary. Bar staff not really efficient and not very welcoming. Frosty reception. Don't go the extra half mile. Bar prices fluctuate. Not my cup of tea!could do a lot better. Definately would not return or recommend. Only plus point it is clean.

A pub that is part of the Youngs Brewary chain. I quite like the beer in here, but am often put off by the regulars who hang around the bar. Place could do with a good spruce up. In balance a good pub for a quick couple.

Visited this pub for lunch, first time since the new management took over. Although the food was acceptable and value for money, the choice was basic and disappointing. Drinks have increased in price AGAIN.

This is a bit of a locals pub, but we were welcomed and choose Youngs from a good selection of beers. The pub is tastefully decorated and should be included as pop in for a pint on a visit to Barnet.

Sunday Lunch at The Nelson is always a great affair, this time it was extra special, as it was the last meal being cooked by the Landlady, who is retiring to live on a Houseboat. She assured us she has passed on her skills to the next generation, so the quality and quantity will be maintained. Happy Lock hopping!

If there was ever a perfect representation of a British residential pub, this is it. Dee runs a sharp ship - beer's excellent, food's available 'till there's none left!'. No loud music, friendly local atmosphere, quiz nights once a week. Excellent web site tells you the rest. Lovely small table area out the front to catch the last of the sun in the evening. Wonderful interior crammed full of brasses, salt and pepper pots and other knick-knacks.

Could not be more comfortable and homely, with my favourite cider always available, a very matey feel to the whole place. Delighted with the live entertainment (McGoozer) a couple weeks ago, couldn't do better. But please, someone, for the love of all that is holy, the loo needs to be bleached down and aired out, anyone within six yards of the men's room door was choking on the fumes from what smelled like an eternity of urine-based ammonia. Won't stop me returning, but will definitely sit nearer to the front of house! ;-)

I have never seen the gate so empty and the food and drink more expensive than my last visit this year and not much of it although, it was cooked well. Also, some customers, a group of men in their 30/40s were quite intimidating and using the womens toilets and taking their drinks out on the road side of car park and urinating in the street, did not exactly add to the appeal to visit in the near future. Staff lovely and friendly. Maybe tweek the menu with some of the old traditional menu, lower the price on some dishes and make toilets safer so children and women dont feel intimidated and uneasy.

The food was OK but nothing special. Very little choice on the menu for vegetarians and despite going on a sunday for a roast they said they weren't doing them. We ordered kid's fish and chips which turned up as just fish. A side of chips arrived later but we weren't sure why and when we asked the bar staff they said that was for the kids and the chef 'just decided to do it that way'. I then ordered an additional side of chips which for £6 was pretty meagre although to be fair the bar staff had warned me it would be. It wasn't a surprise that they weren't busy on a Sunday and it was definitely a shame as the last time we went there it was for a wedding 2 years ago which was a really lovely experience.

2 roast lambs with accompanying vegetables. Kale was tough (underdone?). Not the best lamb I have ever had. We were first in dining room so service was excellent. Grandson’s chocolate ice cream one scoop in a glass dish was underwhelming. Had to tell the till operator to add our drinks to the bill (there’s honesty for you!).
