The Lord Nelson in Broadland

Visiting family in Reedham from Weymouth for the weekend, 10 of us and a child walked in and the man and lady working were really welcoming and accommodating. We hadn't planned on the visit but the guy was able to single handedly prepare all of us a delicious hot meal and there was even an option for a Vegan! We were incredibly grateful for the service because due to the number of us turning up unannounced, they could have just turned our request for food down, but instead he put extra effort to fit us in and let us know what he would able to do for us. There's also a beautiful dog called Sasha. Thank you for having us!

Lovely couple run this quirky pub,food and service excellent.Great riverside location. We'll be back x

Brilliant hosts, amazing food. Would throughly recommend a visit. Such attention to detail, felt so welcome from the moment we stepped through the door. Will definitely go back.

Spent a weekend on holiday in Reedham again. Popped in on the Friday and we were made to feel welcome by Annie, Jamie and the beautiful Sacha. I would definitely recommend this pub, not just because of the welcome but also for the food. The menu was varied and I had to do a lucky dip to decide what to eat. I chose my usual, Cheeseburger, and as a food snob I was not disappointed. Even my wife said she’d never seen me eat so much side salad, it was that good. 😂 I will definitely be going back not just on holiday but also for a treat out.

First time visiting this little gem today. Rib eye steak, cooked perfectly, lasagne was also perfect. Fantastic food, friendly welcome, dogs welcome, and a very big choice on the menus! So worth a visit!

Lovely little pub to grab a meal. Good menu

Whilst moored at Reedham a few weeks ago we visited the Lord Nelson. What a joy, no loud music just the chatter of people having a conversation. Perfect! The larger and lime was very enjoyable as was the welcome.

Upon walking in, strange atmosphere and didn't think I was going to like it.however, after a little while the place really grew on me. The owners have tried to help keep the pub family friendly, pool table, pinball machine etc, all able to be used by the children. The food was very good, the curry and pie had ran out so I had rib eye steak, I normally avoid steak as for what you pay, if is grissly or tough, you feel like you have lost a lot. However it was faultless. Not the cheapest, however if it's this quality, you can get away with that. You only need to worry about the price if the quality is not up to standard. My wife had a prawn cocktail as a main. Which was also faultless, plenty of prawns and sauce for a main meal. My children had 1 main split between them and they said it was amazing also. 4 empty plates. I would definitely go back. 👍

Very good all round a really atmospheric pub .

We popped in for drink this afternoon, lovely warm welcoming pub Relaxed atmosphere and lovely staff very warm and welcoming nothing it to much trouble . We had a lovely afternoon overlooking the river, we decided to stay for an evening meal which was delicious. Thank you so much , if you’re visiting the riverside at Reedham pop into The Nelson you will have a lovely time .

Lovely staff and delicious food. Parking and mooring available for paying customers. Will always visit when in the area. Dog friendly. Clean and inviting.

Lovely Staff, great food! Dog friendly.

Visited twice whilst we were on our holiday on the broads. Staff extremely friendly & welcoming. Food was very reasonably priced & good pub grub. The mooring outside was excellent too. Every one was so lovely we'll definitely be returning.

Great stop off lovely people great food. Visited twice while on the Norfolk broads.

Visited twice in recent weeks, very busy in the summer but relaxed out of season. Nice friendly landlady and team, great views of the river and swing railway bridge, plus excellent food.

Love this place the landlady is lovely we enjoy sitting by the river

We arrived after the pub had finished service on a Sunday teatime - after ordering some nuts at the bar and casually mentioning that this was our meal as nowhere in Reedham was open for food - the owners opened the kitchen and made us three chicken curries and a vegetarian Thai green curry served with popadoms , dips ,rice and chips - all delicious Can't recommend enough they went above and beyond to help Definitely 5 stars from Ross Duke Sarah and Simon

A cracking place to eat, went for lunch it's a pub and we (as oldies!) had a light breakfast, The menu boards offered all sorts of delights! but I saw Pork stew, mustard, apple mash & broccoli! It said eat me! so the owner agreed and 2 were ordered we weren't disappointed by probably the best REAL pub dish we have had since the lockdown! The mustard was just enough to flavour perfectly, our hostess thoughtfully bought spoons knowing we would need them! Really nice nope better than that super! I look forward to returning soon!

Stopped with a boat. Had a great evening with good food. Curry was worth having. Friendly staff. Loved the dog. Mooring along the front is free for the most part but not outside the pub.

Great location, small outdoor sitting area opposite the pub front.

Great home cooked food. Only downside was that the kitchen had closed by 7.45 !!!

We went in on the first night of our holiday and after ordering a pint I asked for a cup of tea for my wife who’s not bothered by alcohol or fizzy drinks to be told we don’t do tea!, this is England, what pub can’t make a cup of tea for goodness sake, I drank my pint and left. We then found the reedham ferry arms who couldn’t have been nicer we went there every night I must have spent £200 or more there. Pubs these days have realised there’s profit in a cup of tea. Especially as two customers in a car have at least one person who’s got to stay sober. Not rocket science is it,.. eh. And they weren’t busy and had plenty of room for a hot water tea/ coffee machine behind the bar.no where else we went had this problem. .

Well cooked food nicely presented, good portions, reasonably priced

Just had a pint in the garden with a lovely view

The menu is rather good with unusual meals on offer along side pub standards . They have a lovely stout on draft, Belhaven Black.

Food always good, lovely to see belhaven black instead of guiness on offer, cheaper and actually tastes good instead of the bland over priced stout normally offered.

Lovely return visit. Food was lovely, although the rice/fish proportion was a little off for the Sea Bass, however it was very tasty. The usual sort of pub grub, but changes daily with specials. A little pricier, but expected on the Broads.

Spent a week on holiday in Reedham and the Lord Nelson became our go to pub for dinners and drinks. Food was fab and we were made to feel very welcome by Annie and Jamie...and Sasha...and would definitely recommend this pub if you are local or visiting the area. If you're boating there's mooring right outside. Probably worth booking a table so as not to be disappointed. Hopefully we will get back there at some point.

The food was lovely and the locals were great fun, owners were really nice and it's dog friendly too,

On holiday last week came here with my husband and our son. Had 4 evenings of fantastic meals. The gammon wow. Everyone was very friendly great service. Definitely worth a visit 😘

Great place for food and drink staff very friendly had a really nice time there

Enjoyed a very good meal and Service . Dog friendly to well behaved dogs

Fab menu choices and food, good atmosphere, would recommend 👍

I disagree with other reviews. The lady who served us was extremely rude and seemed like an inconvenience to serve me and my family, constantly tutting and rolling eyes. We booked a table and when we came in I asked if I could add one more person and the lady said no. As there were “5 other tables” who had ordered food. So my sister just ended up watching us eat. Personally I think if you can’t serve more than 5 tables of people at once then you either need a big menu change up or staff change up. The food was basic and ok when it came out eventually after a hour wait when we were told the wait was only 30mins. Overall the experience wasn’t great and felt very unwelcome.

Lovely pub on the river. Lots to watch. Very friendly. Interesting old pinball machines.

Lovely friendly staff and great food and ale.

You cannot beat the view of the Norfolk broads from the garden area on a sunny day; there's a good reason why so many boats are moored here. We arrived later in the evening so had our pick of tables but would imagine it gets quite busy on a weekend. Good choice of ales and cider.

The food just keeps gets better , under advice from the chef we tried the recommendation for the beef vindaloo. Only one thing you can say, outstanding .

The place was ran down the food was for farmers not holiday people not good and didn’t sell Guinness why 🤔 so much wrong I wouldn’t have time to write it all

I had the best chef's special BBQ pork steak and pineapple made just for me as I'm fussy and he accommodates everyone's needs if you ask, the bar lady Annie was amazing very helpful and made my family and me very welcome...... thank you Jamie the chef and Annie for the best evening we will definitely be back

Nice people nice food great atmosphere 😁

Fantastic food, well worth a visit

Very friendly staff, great home cooked food, pleasant atmosphere

We stopped outside this pub last night. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Lovely pub, had a good laugh with the locals and bar stuff. Definitely recommend going there. Thank you for the men who helped moor us up in the thunderstorm!

Great host excellent service and attention to detail great atmosphere and a variety of good food and drink.

An excellent meal at The Lord Nelson in Reedham. We had the sea bass and scampi followed by Reeney Reedham mess strawberry sundae. Staff were so friendly and welcoming and we look forward to returning on our way back from our boat trip

Good food, friendly staff & owners. Nice riverside pub

The Lord Nelson is a Broads must-do. The pub is excellent, food delicious and the staff welcoming and always good for a laugh. If arriving by boat ALWAYS book ahead. I’d never go past without dropping in - you won’t be disappointed. Tosha Too Forever

Very friendly service. The food was very, very good.

Lovely welcoming staff Great food and service. Everyone in our group loved their meal. (5 of us) we arrived by boat and mooring just outside. Thankyou very enjoyable lunch.

A lovely village pub on the edge of the river. The staff were friendly, welcoming and genuinely intent on making our visit enjoyable. A nice selection of beers at the bar and an extensive menu with options for all. We had the Steak pie, mushroom stroganoff and chilli all of which were superb. The puds were really good and I can't wait to try the 'Reeney Reedham Mess' which is a work in progress when we come back again! Thanks everyone for adding to our holiday memories x

Lovely unfussy menu. Good food, reasonable prices, good ale. Unlike some local pubs The Lord Nelson serves good food not airy-fairy over priced cuisine. In a beautiful location with outdoor seating. Good toilets, good service.

Stopped by on my boat. Good selection of beers and spirits. Service a bit slow but they were busy. Will visit again

Nice place by the river. Good beers. Friendly staff.

Absolutely disgusting customer service skills and very rude towards my family...lost some good business with us not even worth 1 star.... don't ever go here we've been told by the locals that she's very choosy with who stays on her moorings 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

Moored up and had lunch: great spot on the waterfront, everyone is friendly, and had the half roast chicken with pineapple rice which was delicious. Great pub :)

Great staff, had a really nice meal Would highly recommend

Lovely friendly pub, great food, the Cajun chicken is amazing, very good at accommodating food allergies, 100% recommend beautiful views 5*****

Lovely pub on the river Lovely Nelson curry and Thai Burger gave our dog some treats, lots of memorabilia on show. Vegetarian meals are available as well.

Great service providing us meals after the kitchen had already shut. Steak and ale pie was awesome. Good pub food and pub atmosphere.

Brilliant pub with very good food! Have had food and drinks on multiple occasions. All staff are very friendly and helpful even when extremely busy. Only suggestion would be to move the dog from around the bar when very busy as was asked to lean through customers drinking at the bar to get my drinks as to not upset the dog. When quiet this is not a problem.

Unfriendly, unsmiling, hostile, severe bar person. A dog kept barking For a river frontage pub, it could have been fabulous. Never again. Horrible.

Just a lovely little local pub on the river, you can't go wrong. Food was delicious and fast service, and the staff are so friendly. Sasha the dog also made an appearance and she was absolutely gorgeous!

Very very tasty Sunday roast, and the sticky toffee pudding was amazing and very very very tasty, if the custard was amazing! Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area, a must go!! :)

Been to so many pubs in the last week for meals and drinks to be made to feel unwelcome however…….. the Lord Nelson totally different!! Very welcoming. Amazing atmosphere lovely people. Recommended with 5+ stars. A must if you pass

Great food and loved the vintage pieces in there. Friendly staff and beautiful place to moor up in

3 mins after food cut off didn't want to make food for a family of 6 at 8pm shame, probably for the best someone walked out with a dog out of the kitchen after whilst they were still serving 30 mins after we were refused

Enjoyed a Sunday lunchtime whilst visiting the Norfolk Broads. Lovely food and staff very friendly. No roast dinner available but then we were not after one.

Every visit we have made the welcome we have had has been 1st class. The food and service is excellent and in such a fabulous location .

Top quality food and a great beer selection.

Was so wonderful to be back here again, the food is brilliant,nothing is ever a bother for Jamie, who clearly enjoys being adventures with his menu. Annie is so pleasant and accommodating. The pub is clean and tidy and comfortable. The scenery spectacular and a favourite place to moor our boat Dignity.

Didn't stay long, but the locals seemed friendly and the drinks reasonably priced. Had we stayed longer we'd have probably tried the food.

Nice pub on the edge of the river. Clean with extensive bar menu on blackboard in pub. Reasonably priced food cooked to order. Served hot and well cooked.Disappointing that the beer( real ale) was badly kept with residue floating about in the bottom of the glass and even though we brought back glasses 1/4full and switched to cider this wasn't commented on by bar staff. Wouldn't stop us visiting again but not for the real ale!

Nice riverside pub with seating next to river

Called in for lunch and wasn't disappointed.

Very good meal, friendly and social able Price about right. Recommend Sue clarkson , we were staying at Reedham ferry camp site, but wanted to eat at the nelson instead off the ferry. As usual we usuall eat here a few times a year when we stay. ******

Lovely pub great food nice atmosphere, good ale as well. Reasonably priced also

An absolutely fantastic pub with a pool table too!

We have been in this pub but not on this occasion as it shuts on Monday which happened to be when we were in Reedham. A shame because we enjoyed our last visit.

Asked for a decafe coffee only to be told she didn't have any !! What pub / restaurant doesn't carry decafe nowadays? Very disappointed to say the least .

Great food and scenery. We saw a wild deer outside whilst we were eating

Nice place friendly staff. Worth a visit

Visited with family for a drink. Sat outside near the river. So beautiful and relaxing. Friendly service.

A brilliant pub in Reedham, and a must stay if you are passing. Great food, friendly staff in this quirky pub with a great atmosphere.

We enjoyed our food, delicious steak and ale pie, played pool in the afternoon and enjoyed drinks xx

Great views of the river. Lovely setting.

Lovely pub with lovely new owners. Will definitely be visiting again.

Great pub. Fantastic food. Morning available. Annie and Jamie the publicans made our Holiday. Best stop on the boards...

Half decent pub. Was nagged by owner to pre book for food as they would be rammed after. If it wasnt for that we would of eat there instead of the ship down road. Menu looked really good tho!

Nice location, good food, good selection of beers. Good traditional pub

Quant old pub well worth the visit, to see the old vintage machines.

Dined in here a few times whilst on holiday, absolutely first class food, would definately recommend.

Had a bad experience with the chief telling us to get out & being accused of wanting a free meal. Do not recommend this place after having poor customer service.

We called in for drinks during the day on 2 occasions last week. I can't comment on the food here, hence the 4 stars. I love this pub! I first visited 40 (!) years ago and have fond memories of the place. It was good to revisit after all this time though, in all honesty, I can't remember too much about it(!) It's ideally situated right on the banks of the Yare which is what brought me here in the first place, 40 years ago. Last week we sat at the tables outside adjacent to the moorings in blazing sunshine. There is much memorabilia inside; old advertisements, vending machines etc which all add to the effect. It was so good to call in again. Sorry to gush so much, but it really was!

Excellent food, excellent service, great pub

Very friendly staff and lovely, homely atmosphere, definitely worth a visit!

Rocked up late on a Sunday and treated to Rum shots and card tricks.. We'll be back...

Nice friendly people, great food

Excellent food.. pub food. And very nice guest beers. The local brew was especially nice.

We are staying in Reedham for a few days and have had 2 meals in The Lord Nelson and both were excellent. Beautifully presented and so tasty. Our dog was welcome too. Totally recommend this friendly pub right on the water. We will be back!
