Only opened at noon, value ok but food tampered with as in paprika sprinkled over chips and they didn't taste like chips, fish was good.

That was the best Sunday roast I've had in a long time! Thank you 👍 All home cooked, beautiful flavours, the food was absolutely delicious. Fully recommend a visit 10/10.

Arrived today with our newborn about half an hour after the kitchen closed but they were kind enough to open the kitchen for us and cook us some delicious food. Such a great reception. The type of service that makes a good pub a great pub. Can’t wait to return

Me and my husband visited the lord Nelson on a Thursday evening. The pub it's self is lovely, with lovely vibes, the was a book case of board games you could play. The lady serving us was very welcoming and couldn't do enough for us. We met the chef too who again was friendly and welcoming. I had the Nelson burger with a side of mac and cheese, and my husband had the fish and chips. Both were presented lovely and tasted amazing. We will definitely be back again.

The worst fish with chips I’ve ever had in England, the fish was barely visible despite generous batter. Lord Nelson would be grateful for his fate than to have dined here at £17 for that abomination.

I came in here last Friday for a wonderful lunch with a friend and sat out on their terrace which is a glorious suntrap. Been here many times over the last 5 years and I believe that this is The Lord Nelson hurtling towards becoming Dover's number one venue. We both really enjoyed our lunch with wine & non alcoholic beers under the beaming sun. Food was cooked fresh to order, was very attractively presented with homemade coleslaw with my chicken burger. Thank you Aimee.

Closed at 14:00 on Tuesday. When I queried the guy walking out, locking the door, when they opened, he said we're closed on Monday. It was Tuesday. 3 stars to be neutral.

Avoid this place. The customer service is terrible, and the delays are unbelievable. The staff are untrained and create an unwelcoming atmosphere. Additionally, the food is below average.

Accueil sympathique dans un cadre typique. Fish & chips et seafood linguine copieux. Côté bière, un choix très correct avec notamment une bière ambrée dont la brasserie date des années 1600 (sheperd neame Bishop finger)! Cadre convivial!

Me and 5 colleagues had a very pleasant meal here. I went for the chicken and ham pie and asked for chips and red cabbage and its was delicious. Staff were welcoming and efficent. Only slight niggle is how poorly stocked the bar is, limited cider options, soft drinks out of large bottles in the fridge. Oh and food was reasonably priced too. I wouldnt hesitate to go there again.

Had a wonderful meal the day at Lord Nelson and I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a good Sunday roast. The food was beautify cooked (by the very talented Nizel), especially the Yorkshire puddings. The service was spot on ( a very friendly and attentive team), considering we were a large group and the price is reasonable. Again I would highly recommend and will eat here again.

Nous nous sommes arrêtés dans ce pub après quelques courses au M&S voisin sous une pluie battante. Le pub est sympa, joliment décoré. Vu l'heure (16.30) il était encore très calme et un peu froid. Regrettablement, les deux bières qui me tentaient le plus étaient épuisées. Ce n'est pas la première fois que cela m'arrive en 10 jours. Bizarre, ce sont toujours des bières anglaises, même locales ! Est-ce voulu pour pouvoir mieux vendre leurs pauvres bières espagnoles ou italiennes ?! Ou l'inflation sur les matières premières, je m'interroge...

Luckily happened upon this lovely pub when staying for a night at the travelodge located nearby. They serve my favourite lager Spitfire AND do lovely cocktails; I enjoyed an espresso martini. Even got a free mocktail, (thanks Georgie!). This place is exactly what Dover needs, clean, refreshing and it just had a really good family friendly atmosphere. I will definitely be returning for some food and more drinks. What a gem of a pub. If you’re a tourist or a local - this place fits the bill.

The best sandwhich I didn't know I wanted. After not being able to have diner at our 1st choice, we popped in to look at the menu. Unsure if a sandwhich was what we wanted, but not wanting to wander around. We opted to to stay. The sandwiches were excellent and the coleslaw was great. Top notch service. Highly recommend. Great Gin Bramble also.

This pub dates back to 1805, so you can’t accuse it of having lacking history; though in the meantime it has taken on some fairly substantial gastro-pub/bar upgrades that somewhat betray that fact it is over two hundred years old. Regardless, prices are reasonable, service is good and it has a great location not far from the sea. Recommended. If you found my review or photos helpful, please give a quick thumbs up 👍 Thanks!

Group of six were down in Dover for a football match, and arranged to meet here as I discovered this fine place on google and was not disappointed. Exceptional quality finishing both inside and outside and was luckily enough to be able to seat outside on the decking as it was 20c plus on a barmy October afternoon. A few of the beers were not available due to issues beyond control, which was the only downside, but we are in a strange place at this time. 4 of us had the chicken and beef burgers which were absolutely lovely and very well presented. Would definitely visit again if back in the area

This is a wonderful meal! Everything on my plate was prepared so well, exceeding my expectations. Pork brisket was tender, mash potatoes was probably the best I’ve ever had and the grilled cabbage was crunchy and juicy, not like the usual soft and soggy ones. The dessert was spot on, too. I loved it!
