The Lord Nelson in Barnet

A friendly local pub with a good range of well-kept beers. Still the best pint of Young's in Barnet !

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. 😎

Was working the bar for 3 years, '96 - '98! Great guv' I had then with his Mrs. Guess the old jukebox is gone!! Had lots of fun with the regular guys, Mel, Derek, Tony, Linda & Ray, my golf buddy! A pub as it should always be. Wonderful memories!! ❤️👍🙏

Always a proper pub, long may it continue.

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.

Friendly, helpful staff, good selection of beers and food. A relaxed and chilled atmosphere

The best pub in Barnet, very well hidden gem. Good Youngs beers, nice staff and friendly atmosphere.

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.

Very friendly,lovely little local pub

Lovely place lovely staff very friendly and relaxing 😌

Proper legal cal pub. Sensible priced beer and nice staff. What's not to like.

Great location and quiet garden for a game of cards.

Nice local pub with excellent ale

Very nice small pub, relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff

Love this pub. Best pub in Barnet

Super clean pub, great beer.! Well run old school pub., highly recommend, gem of a pub in barnet. Must visit.

Would get 5 stars if food was available. For a quiet drink in a friendly pub this is perfect

A complete makeover from 50 year's ago, service and welcome committee 👌👍🙂....

Lovely friendly little pub out the way but full of characters great pint and food very reasonable price too Proper pub

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.

Traditional pub. Good to chat without loud music

A pleasant little pub, well worth a visit. When next in the UK will going back for a second visit and I hope it is as good as my first

Lovely local pub hidden away in Barnet

Lovely little pub been refurbished recently looks really nice and cosy Lovely pint and staff very friendly to all customers new and old well worth a visit

Lovely little pub and all friendly

I'm from Yorkshire and called for drink here. Full of character 😎😎😎😎xxx

Always good quality beers and at reasonable prices.

A lovely, friendly local. Great for a relaxing night out with loved ones. Great beers and friendly staff and patrons.

Great local pub, great quiz on a thursday.

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.

Lovely oldie world feel. Pleasant staff. Spotless everywhere. Real ales. Smashing.

Very welcoming local pub, good beers, friendly both sides of the bar, very kind to our rescue dog Apple who is learning the social ropes!

Gratuitous loud swearing was the norm.

Fab down to earth pub! I can highly recommend their beer!

Old man pub lovely to have a drink not with children though

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.

Old style pub has a quiz on Thursdays

A friendly traditional British Pub. Well worth a visit.

Nice little traditional pub out the way but well worth a visit or 2 Tasty pub grub ,the friendly staff and regulars make you very welcome

The best..i loved the place..great friendly staff...

Nice pub for a quite drink or pub quiz or even on a nice sunny day

Visited the Lord Nelson Christmas Eve for the first time in an age. First thing that I noticed was they now sell John Smiths bitter. The atmosphere was good and relaxed. Will go back and give it another go when not as busy.

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.

Nice pub shame about the parking. If you are luck you can fine a space. Beer is good but expensive. A lot of friendly faces..

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!

Great little local with beautiful garden. Tucked away for some peace and quiet. Food is fantastic and the pub is pet friendly. *****

I love this pub, its a stereotypical old Mans pub but the staff are friendly, the price is low and the food is a lot better quality than youd expect. plus check out the beer garden, its a little treasure!

An OK pub. Place always smells of fried food which puts me off. If you fancy a pint or to it is fine. Nice pint of Youngs though

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! ;-)

Always a good pint and great home cooked pub food - especially when they have bread pudding on! Fantastic value and in the summer the garden is very pleasant.

Good pub with friendly staff. The food is good and great value for a pub. The beer is always excellent and this is a good local pub.
