The Lord Nelson Inn in North Warwickshire

Oh dear, what a disappointment, cod and salmon en croute, salmon with skin on, rich sauce no taste but swimming in oil, garden peas like bullets.. they did discount for poor food, but it should not be so poor.

Visited and had food many times before and always been ok but not today (Father's Day). I ordered brie wedges as a starter but they were frozen in the middle so I sent them back. The vegetables with the main were very under cooked (especially the carrots which were raw) and the fish my husband had was dry (mine was ok). The lady serving us was very apologetic and gave us money off but there's something to be said about the chef if they can't cook veg as we've had under cooked veg before.

What an amazing place! We are a walking group and didn’t know our exact numbers until the day, but this was no problem for our booking. We received a warm welcome, had great service and the food was delicious - obviously home cooked and was served promptly. The 2 course special menu was such amazing value! The beer selection is fantastic from the onsite brewery. Everyone in the group had commented on what a fantastic pub this is, and it will definitely be on our future list again! Highly recommended!

Now I'm writing this through gritted teeth. My Yorkie puds are the best but for the first time ever I've met my match ! Superb Sunday lunch,service was great and food perfectly cooked ( and lots of it ). Even had a pudding which I never do because the offerings were so tempting 😊😊 Will definitely be returning!!

Sunday lunch time party of 13 adults and kids for a 60th birthday. From when I booked the staff couldn't help enough (numbers kept increasing) they allowed me in early to decorate table. Friendly staff. Great menu. Food was lovely, we had a great time! Paper plates and napkins provided for the birthday cake, the who family really enjoyed it! And the price was fantastic! Fair prices for food and drink, it is what it is a great family restaurant with a great atmosphere, thank you 😊

Not good for Christmas Day dinner, food was not what we expected. Old, overcooked, pale veg. Brandy sauce with skin on. Witnessed the waiting staff picking each other’s spots and plucking nose hairs with tweezers in the kitchen. Witnessed another table complain about what they had also observed to the lady who was apparently running the pub that day, she laughed it off saying ‘Oh they’re just the tweezers out of the crackers.’ Oh great that’s ok then! Just paid £67 a head to eat a teenage kids spot puss and nose hairs! Won’t be eating here again. Disgusting.

We have been to this restaurant on numerous occasions and have always enjoyed the food and the service is normally excellent. Our family live quite far apart, and this is one of the few times in a year that we normally get together. The table was booked for after the lunch time rush and we weren’t in the main restaurant, but previously that hadn’t been a problem. We’d ordered 3 starters but we were only served with 2 until we asked for the 3rd which obviously hadn’t been ordered and we had to wait for it to be cooked. We were served our mains, and it seemed as though we were abandoned due to staff shortages. No query about the standard of the food or if we needed more drinks. Although we were served promptly when we stopped a passing staff member and asked for more. A server started to clear our table but left for the day part way through, with no one taking over. Other staff were laying up for the evening service, but ignoring the people who were already there. We were going to have dessert, and had the menu blackboard on the table, but with a young child and a baby, after 10 minutes wait, we decided not to wait any longer for our order to be taken. Very disappointed by today’s experience. Definitely not up to the standard we’ve normally experienced.

A family of eight adults we had our first visit on a Sunday lunchtime to celebrate my dads birthday. It was very busy so service was a little slow but every member of staff was helpful, friendly and polite . The food was good very generous Sunday dinners with lots of vegetables and the reviews of the beef and ale pie are true three of our party had it and cleared their plates . Lovely desserts just a shame they were already running out . Overall would definitely return and recommend.

My Auntie and Uncle treated my wife and I to a meal out. The pub has a lovely nautical theme and both the service and food are excellent! I opted for my usual Steak and ale pie, I have had this countless occasions. This was the best I’ve ever had! The other meals were well received ( hunters chicken & gammon) . I had a pint of “brothers in arms “ from Sperrin brewery local to the pub! Nectar! Highly recommended! Thank you Alice and Pat Flanaghan!

Had a lovely meal , hot tasty ,price good . Staff friendly ,helpful Place is nice ,clean and local pub , 👌 Nice sitting area outside and nice park across the road

I had heard loads of good things about this pub cos the Sperrin Brothers brew their own beer!!! The draught beer was indeed fantastic and I tried two different pints and wow!! BUT we had come to eat cos we know the sister pub the Blue Boar where the food is great. Well.....we should have stuck with the Blue Boar. Two of us had the mixed grill (medium) and I had the all day breakfast. What a suprise, the medium grill was TOO WELL done to be honest and even my bacon and sausages were cooked to a frazzle. Not a good food experience but the beer was wonderful!!

6 family members went to the Lord Nelson Ansley village for a evening meal the food was first class we are local to this pub but 3 of the family members are not and I was proud of what was served we all had different meals well done Treeve sperrin

Haven’t been for ages but it used to be good. Must try to get there again with new partner, see what he thinks

2nd visit - wondered if it would be as good as our first time here. Ordered different meals and if anything, they were even better than the first time. Piping hot, large portions and so tasty! Customer service by the staff was again excellent. We're chalking this venue up as our go-to for a fantastic meal experience.

My wife and myself went here tonight 8/4/23 first time here for our 11th wedding anniversary. Was not disappointed one bit. We had a sharing platter to start with..my wife had the fish pie off the specials board. And i had the mixed grill , probably the best mixed grill ive ever had..my wife's fish pie was excellent as well..the atmosphere was very relaxing...the waitress we had was first class just sorry i didn't get her name.. we would definitely go back

I asked to speak to chef Harry afterwards because it was genuinely the nicest food I've eaten in as long as I can remember. I had the leek and potato bake in creamy sauce, with a large portion of piping hot huge, chunky chips and peas - every mouthful was divine. My partner's mixed grill was cooked to perfection as well. Our starters were the stilton and broccoli soup with piping hot bread rolls and butter which also tasted amazing. The inn resembles a ship with undulating floors that slightly unbalance you on the way to the bar but which add to the overall experience. The staff were absolutely lovely - every single one we spoke to was welcoming, friendly and focused on customer service. For two starters and two main courses - one a huge mixed grill - we thought £46 was fantastic. Absolutely 100% will be returning - I suspect many times.

Myself and my partner had a lovely Sunday roast, there was plenty of food and we even left some because we wanted to try a dessert. Starters were nice mine could of been a little warmer but still tasted good, the roast was presented well and tasted as good as it looked, wasn’t keen on the creamed leeks but that’s a personal preference, the deserts were good, my partner had the jam roll poly, glad to see it was a traditional jam roll poly, food came out quite quickly and the staff where friendly, what more could you ask for, definitely recommend this place and will definitely be returning x

Had a great meal, food was lovely and hot and really big portions! Enjoyed the sharing platter but wasn’t keen eating off a metal tray (also had chicken and ribs that was on a metal tray!) Waiting staff friendly and helpful. Our first visit after recommendation - We will definitely be back 😊

Just visited the Lord Nelson, the Band of Brothers was superb as ever and the food likewise. What an absolute gem this place really is ! A special mention for our waitress Emma, brilliant all night, thank you!

Food is delicious staff are friendly and professional, excellent selection of food and drinks. Great little restaurant in my opinion 👍👍👍

Friendly welcome, this pub provided a perfect oasis on a cycling tour. Good value good food and local beer. Beer garden with shade

Honest food and great service. Prices are very very reasonable. I would recommend the pie as it is one of the best I’ve tasted

First visit. Really liked the Theme. Fish tanks are nice. Staff friendly and helpful. Great menu and amazing food. Very well presented.

Lovely family meal for 11 of us , really good menu choice , portion sizes just right , and very good table service polite an courteous

Great to be able to eat in again. Lunch time visit. Friendly staff. Ate from the small plates menu. Lasagne was tasty, but portion was extremely small. Dessert was again tiny, inch thick slice of unremarkable roulade. Portion sizes of fish & chips/ apple pie and custard were more generous. Will be returning, but will order a full size main next time!

Booked for lunch after easing of lockdown rules Fablous to see everyone 😀 & food & service was brilliant & covid safe ....10 out of 10

Amazing 10/10 Sunday dinner as ever,Glad to see you back.it shows how good your food is and service 2 restaurants one pub fully packed great atmosphere,family couples.its great to hear laughter and family time .... Thankyou all the staff your amazing and the food exceptional . Highly recommended to book a table .x

Food was okay nothing fresh precooked potatoes awful Yorkshire ,good service but some of the family’s are large from different households and although sit apart at the start they mix with the children also the kids are allowed to run around and spread infections poor food

What a perfect friendly welcome pub restaurant had the pleasure of going here with family cannot express how much effort they put in to keep everything so perfect would like to thank all the staff for their excellent service in these difficult times.

COVID restrictions don't stop this place trying carry on the best they canBand night even though we have to vacate @ 10pm it was a fabulous night everybody adhered to the rules ... wearing masks & keeping to their tables Staff were fantastic really attentive & authoritative when needed food off the normally menu really tasty a good time was had by all including the bandThank you to Cassie & all the staff can't wait for the event & I'm sure customers will be booking early just don't forget us Well done

Another eat out to help out experience and this was first rate. One minor criticism and so familiar in many a restaurant, either the floor or its legs were uneven causing our table to wobble. It seems to happen so often to us. But no fault could be found with either the food or the service. A first visit but hopefully it will not be our last as a little further afield than our regular haunts.

The Lord Nelson have really got things sorted during these unprecedented times, The food and beer here is always superb and they’ve managed to continue delivering the goods whilst keeping everyone distanced and safe. The staff are super friendly and a special mention for our outstanding waitress Lucy!

Visited the Nelson today (Sunday 5th July). Our first outing since lockdown, for a Sunday roast. The food was excellent, the staff were in full PPE, but still maintained a high standard and delivered a great service. Well done to both management and staff. Highly recommend for anyone that has any reservations about going eating out

Our second time here along with 40 O A P lunch club members, this is a good old fashioned pub with great service, good choice of very reasonably priced menu, excellent quality and plentiful food.

Excellent value 3 course lunch. Generous portions. Plenty of gravy and real Yorkshire Puddings. Tasty food. Friendly, efficient service. Well worth a visit.

It was a lovely evening staff very attentive & food delicious the atmosphere very relaxing as it was valentine's evening they orgnaized a duo to sernade us & they were fab interacting with us all I felt like we were at a private gig Good choice of music hope they bring them back @ some time Thanks & well done to Cassie & staff

We went last Sunday 9.2.2020 for a family dinner, it came on recommendation from a friend and it was our first time of going there, what can I say, absolutely fantastic meal , we did all 3 courses , and along with the staff being both courteous and professional this was a great experience so mush so we are going to book up for Christmas 2020, I would like to thank all those concerned at the Lord Nelson for making our Sunday so perfect

The steaks we had were one of the best we ever had. It was just a bit of a shame the tomato and mushroom were so tiny.

So ... today was what was supposed to be the first family get together with my dad where we could all get together for 2 and a half years. He’s 89 and about to go on a big trip. As a vegetarian I thought it wise to pre-check with the restaurant that I could be catered for on a Sunday. This was done days in advance ... only thing I didn’t want on my dinner would of course be any meat products ... and peas. They messaged back with a few tasty suggestions... apparently the chef could make any of the dishes to order. We arrived today... I excitedly chose what I was hoping to eat, but asked if I could have it with the veg you would have on a Sunday dinner. I did ask to check if the gravy was veggie which wasn’t in my original message ... just occurred to me at the time as many places I eat at offer a separate veggie gravy or cheese sauce. The waitress had to come back several times for different reasons... firstly they didn’t have the cordial we had originally chosen.. so I just suggested an alternative, then to tell me the gravy was meat... I was ok ... just cheekily asked for extra roast potatoes ... I seriously did not wish to make a fuss... then the waitress quite rightly came back to tell me that the potatoes were cooked in meat product... sigh... back and forth, back and forth like a fiddlers elbow... too and from the kitchen ... back to me. I’m getting more and more embarrassed. I would have been happy with my choice of dinner, veg etc... no gravy... but then I was questioned and told I had messaged the wrong Lord Nelson with my food enquirey... seriously?!!!! Apparently the difference is if you message The Lord Nelson... it Lord Nelson. By this time I’m sinking into my seat thinking that the other diners must think I’m an idiot or just a nightmare to serve ... so I said ... tell you what forget my main... i’ll Just have my starter as this is embarrassing. I then took a moment to check the source of my original message... low and behold ... I’d sent it via the right Facebook page ... via their own messenger ... so... rather than have the waitress come back yet again and embarrass my family and make us feel even more uncomfortable ... I thought I’d pop up to the bar... with my phone to show them. The entrance where the waitresses were and members of the kitchen staff... openly moaning about me... looking at a device ... at my messages ... and me standing there listening to them all. At this point ... I’d had enough... I was completely mortified, my family meal is ruined... I returned to the table to apologise to my family for all the fuss and left the table completely mortified. God knows what the other diners though! Whilst waiting for my taxi I sent the following message ... to the messenger account that I’d originally contacted ... theirs! Thank you for totally ruining what is a very rare Sunday lunch with my dad ... I don’t think I asked for much... I was happy not to have vegetarian gravy ... I clearly have the correct Lord nelson page ... I do not expect sending a waitress over to bicker with me ...And for me to come up to the bar and see you all rudely disagreeing that I’d send a message to the wrong page ... shocking... both messengers were read immediately. As for my dad ... who has eaten at The Lord Nelson on a regular basis for donkeys years ... he said on his exit to a member of staff apparently that he would never eat there again. If you can’t cope with a simple vegetarian request ... you need to thank crikey I wasn’t a vegan. Avoid at all costs if you value food manners and customer services

After visiting a car sales we decided to try the Lord Nelson and we were not disappointed. Spotlessly clean, interesting decor and friendly staff. We opted for the smaller-bites 3 course lunch and hubby and I chose Pate and soup for starters, we both chose cod chips and mushy peas for our main and a huge trifle for dessert. Absolutely delicious meal, the cod was the best we`ve ever tasted with the very light batter. Wish the Lord Nelson wasn`t so far away as we would be using it often. Well done to all the staff.!

Excellent food, service, surroundings and friendly staff. Also lots of Real Ales all brewed on site.

Spice Girls in town so couldn’t get into Coventry so my wife and I headed for one of our favourite local pubs, the Lord Nelson Inn at Ansley near Nuneaton. We had our dog with us so knew we could sit in the bar with him and order food. The rain pelted down so it seemed apt to choose for steak & ale pie for my wife and Bangers and Mash for me! Both arrived promptly and well cooked and priding themselves on using local produce and being home cooked food, the meals did not disappoint! The pie was first rate, a generous slice, chockfull with top quality steak served with chips and peas; the bangers were meaty and nicely spiced, mash a bit over-mashed imo but onion gravy was perfect! A very tasty treat on an unusually cold June evening! The bar was full of friendly locals and the staff was friendly and helpful - slightly surreal sitting in a pub full of naval paraphernalia in Warwickshire, this pub has great beer and great food! I recommend it wholeheartedly!

Had a lovely two- course meal today. Nice meal and good service. Would recommend and we will come again for sure.

Local pub to us and the beer that they do is very good. Enjoy the food and the nights they put on are good and worth it with the meal included. Friendly staff, dog friendly.

Had High hopes for this, basic burger with salad, coleslaw and chips plus extras you can add at additional cost

A lovely meal with meats and fish menues and plenty of veg choice staff very nice and helpful. Will definitely be returning .

It’s the best 24 oz steak I have ever had cooked to perfection and the pepper sauce is amazing. Drinks a bit pricey but well worth it for the steak

Had Sunday Lunch here on April 28, could not fault it 3 courses for £11.95. Presented and cooked beautiful. Will be going here in the future. Wise to book a table.

We visited as a family and as a couple recently and had been here a long time ago and regretted not going more often. My kids absolutely loved their food as did me and the Missus.

First time visiting The Lord Nelson Inn on a Sunday and found the two (or three) course Sunday Lunch is great value. Opted for the two course and both the main (roast beef) and dessert (cheesecake) were excellent. Good selection and portion of veg. Service was friendly and prompt, would recommend!

Tonight we ( two couples ) ate in your pub as we have done so many times .

The two course Sunday lunch I highly recommend and the service was faultless. Thank you we will return definetly and recommend to friends

Go there and see for yourselves. Its great. Great food superb ale brewed on site. Lovely staff, great locals always warm and cosey .

We were recommended to try the food at this excellent establishment, we were not disappointed ! Firstly the pub is very traditional, lovely atmosphere, loads of punters eating what looked like good sized portions of a variety of quality pub grub. The beer which is brewed on the premises (Sperrins Brewery) is of the highest quality, I consider the ale is probably some of the best I have ever tasted, wonderful selection, spoiled for choice. We ordered our meals off a very extensive menu, we had two delicious Liver & Bacon meals in a super onion gravy, my wife had the steak pie which she thought was totally delicious. The meat served in this pub is supplied by Frank Parker, a local high quality butcher. Please don't miss out by not visiting this great pub.

Sunday rolls on again and my 36 year old son wanted to try the Sperrins Ale at the Lord Nelson in Ansley about 15 minutes from Meriden the centre of England.We parked at the rear of the pub in a car park with approx 5 disabled spaces.

Had a run out from Bedworth for a couple of quality pints, unfortunately very hard to come by, quality real ale in Bedworth apart from Wetherspoons.

First time here on recommendation from one of the three friends I visited with. All four of us agreed afterwards that it would not be worth a return visit.

After having an awful experience at a restaurant early afternoon we called the nelson to see if they could get us a table around 4pm today. Wasn’t an issue staff were very friendly. Food arrived was lovely. Very good quality for money. We should have just gone to the lord nelson first. Thanks to the lovely staff and chef! Enjoyable experience

Really nice old pub, good mix of food with nice mixed menu ,2 & 3course light bites ,menu, , to full price great menu, friendly staff ,

Visited this pub early on a Friday evening. Although the decor is a little tired, the pub was cosy and the staff very friendly and attentive. Took a lucky dip on their own brewed ales and came up trumps - the 'Third Party' ale was very nice indeed. We ordered two meals - and both were very nice - made a nice change to not be served chips with everything. The Beef Stroganoff and the Steak and Mushroom pie went down very well - especially with the Third Party. A couple of very minor points - the pie would have been even better had it been a little more moist/saucy and the Stroganoff even nicer with a little less garlic. All in all a very pleasant experience and happy to recommend this pub for its beer / food / service etc. Hope to return soon and will look out for a Summer beer festival

Ive known the place for more than 40 years. It is my local Great pub that brews its own beer. Best steaks around. Great people. A really cheerful and generous landlord. Well worth a visit.

We visited this establishment on Boxing Day, for a pre-booked festive menu meal. There were four of us, and although we had eaten at the Lord Nelson Inn on a previous occasion, it was several years ago so we had little idea of what to expect. It is safe to say all four of us were more than pleasantly surprised. Service was first class and, despite the fact that the place was packed with customers, delays were insignificant. The set menu was three courses, and coffee and mince pies to finish. Four or five choices for each course, to suit every taste, and which we took full advantage of. The starters were of a good size and excellent. We each had a different main course, the diversity of the menu impressive! Portions were of a good size; Not too big, but plentiful, with a good selection of vegetables served as side dishes. Especially recommended is the Steak and Ale pie, which was more than adequate in size and full of good quality meat in a gravy of the Perrins ale brewed on the premises. A wide choice of desserts followed, again with us each having something different, and the portions of a good size. Finally, coffee, with mints, and Mince Pies. There was nothing we could find fault with, especially the smooth efficiency of service and we certainly intend to visit the Lord Nelson Inn again very soon! All in all a very enjoyable experience. Well done to all the staff!

Unfortunately my last visit to the Nelson was not a good experience due to waiting so long for our starters (45 mins) and then another (30 mins) main, was told that they were short staffed.

Went today along with the coffee club that I go to on Wednesday's for our Christmas meal. At lunchtime it's the OAP special which is £11-95 for three courses. Although the place was packed the service was great and well coordinated. The food was served hot and there was enough to fill us. With coffee and a mince pie to finish I think this was excellent value for my money. Well worth a visit but booking is I think advisable.

What a great meal and great service, We could not fault any aspect of our visit from the moment we walked in until we left. Beer was good and brewed on the premises, and the food was excellent. You may need to book as we get closer to Christmas.

Due to travel and new options we had not returned to the lord nelson for nearly two years. Well i can hoonestly say very little has changed sometimes this is a good thing.

With only 5 days notice I contacted the The Lord Nelson looking for a party booking of 20 and despite there being a beer festival on they were able to accommodate us. We arrived and took our seats the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating, they took our order and the food arrived in good time and together, which I have found some other venues struggle with when part of a large booking.

I have been coming here to eat for years and always had no complaints. The last few times I have noticed that prices have gone up, which I’m not complaining about but I am complaining when you get less food on your plate for the money. Also noticed how dusty and unclean the place is. If you have cleaners I would have a serious word with them. The walls are thick with dust and cobwebs also pictures on the walls. This is very off putting when you are sitting right next to it eating. Just feel the place needs a total full clean up or even a makeover as it’s looking very dark and dirty. Very disappointing.

After reading some of the reviews I was a bit worried about this place. This was a thank you meal for my wife and I from ex-work colleagues and all I can say is I am so glad we went. It was the steak night and the food was excellent, perfectly cooked. The service was extremely good, the waitress very pleasant and helpful. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I hope those that have had a bad time will try again, maybe they just got a bad night?

Never Again! Extremely Disappointing! Had Stomach Ache all night after!

I Strongly Disagree with some of the other posts I had a very Good experience, friendly staff, good atmosphere good quality food at a reasonable price

Been coming here on and off for years and most of the time had a great meal. Went for a family meal all of us wanting a fillet steak only to be told they had ran out at 7.30 on a Saturday night. Having chosen something else we then had to wait an hour before staters came. Very disappointed ☹️

Great atmosphere, good food, friendly staff lovely outside area where you can sit and eat with your dog...they even cooked sausages especially for our dog.

I thought I was in Camden Town ie London prices ? ! We ordered two soups,a whole plain pork pie, two soda waters and a pint of ale . The cost was £26 something . I was really shocked as the pub has been recommended. Hey ho will not go back as I do not like being ripped off. No complaints about the quality of the pork pie,soup,soda water and pint of ale.........just the price

Ordered Roast beef meal and Steak and mushroom meal. The roast beef was virtually uneatable, full of gristle, Roast potatoes cremated. The Steak and mushroom meal was a dried up pie, obviously been in the oven a long time to keep it warm. The Apple pie and custard consisted of a very under cooked pastry. Sherry trifle was just what seemed tin fruit with custard and cream poured over, not sure what happened to the sherry. Service was so slow, one poor waitress doing everything so obviously understaffed. Had to chase where the deserts had got to. Sent a message to the kitchen about the quality of especially the main course, but no one bothered to come out and apologize. So the first rule of running a business was obviously missed. Advertises meat from Frank Parker's Butchers of Nuneaton. I have had their meat, this was nothing like it. Have been there many times but never again, but who cares, they seem to have plenty of customers. But of course one day they might be glad of the one's they have lost.

The Lord Nelson Inn is themed on Nelson and the décor is well done worth a visit for the décor. Atmosphere is good and service brisk and cheerful. Food was a bit of a mixed bag with very good starters - a chef who knows that Lettice is the right start to a salad not mixed leaves - mains so so with poor chips and salmon overdone at one end. Small desert selection but Lemon Meringue was OK. Could be great with some attention to small food details.

First time visiting the place and the decor was beautiful. The staff were very friendly as helpful.

A Frank Parker Rib Eye Steak is NOT oval, Has Fat in the middle, no grizzle on the outside and is well over 1cm thick. It is also tender and full of taste. The so called "Frank Parker's Rib eye Steak" served to me last night was not only an imposter but was over cooked, Medium rare yet no pink in it at all. Stop passing off mediocre steaks as Frank Parker's. Of the last 4 times we have visited we have been disappointed on 3 of them, burnt or cold food or not getting food as advertised/ordered. We won't be back again for a long time.

This place is very hit and miss lately don’t know if they have new chefs went here Saturday evening 3 of the dishes were very nice but one was chicken carbonara very disappointing no bacon or Parmesan cheeses literally just pasta sauce and noodles with chicken

Wanted some where to take my husband with my mother & father in law for my husbands birthday. Checked a few places to find that they only do a lunchtime menu! How disappointing but soon got over that to realise that the Lord Nelson near Nuneaton as always had its full menu on as it does every lunch time and evening. We have visited the Nelson on many occasion and have never been let down with the food. Patè for two, victory mushrooms and a prawn and crayfish salad to start. Lovely. Four steaks, three with cheese melts on and one with sauce, EXCELLENT! Cooked to perfection on each order, which all varied with plenty of chips or salad. Service with a smile. Lovely, welcoming gent behind the bar who took our orders and checked if everything was okay each time we went to the bar. Sherry trifle for mother in law as she was the only one who could fit a sweet in! Large portion but very attractively presented in a tall glass dish with plenty of cream and sauce on top. All in all superb! With definitely be continuing to use this pub and restaurant as we could fault it.

The food hear used to be excellent but went down hill. Had a terrible meal here after they won pub of the year but thought we would give it another try wished we hadn't bothered a well done steak was so burnt it was like eating charcoal and that was accompanied with a frozen jacket potatoe and when I say frozen I mean ice in the middle. Will not be returning and id advise people to think twice about going here

Choice of food was excellent & everything from the starters to the coffee was lovely with great service from the staff that were working today. Fantastic Mother's Day meal & great value for money Thanks

What a great place,great beer,great food.The staff and the owners are all welcoming.The place has loads of character,and is done out like a ship.The only thing missing is the sea.They brew there own ales on site and have a great Mild.

Very pleasing that the staff were concerned that I had an enjoyable time and when I explained that I was diabetic and couldn't have any of the sugary deserts on offer they went out of their way to prepare something which wasn't on the menu. Many other restaurants would have had a take it or leave it attitude.

I used to be a regular visitor never having a bad meal, but I came before Xmas for lunch and was disappointed on that occasion my fish was dry and served on cold plate, but as the staff were run ragged I did not say anything. I came here again recently and had the steak and ale pie, chips and peas, I have had the pie before and the meat filling was lovely but the pastry was stodgy, colour of pastry off putting and tasted of cardboard. Chips were standard but nothing exciting. Sorry to give this review but won't be back until someone tells me it has improved.

Meal as good as ever. My only comment would be about lack of parking and not brilliant toilet facilities. But no complaints about the food at all and helped by the restaurants own brewed beer.

Had the set Xmas lunch and was not disappointed.This really is the only pub in the Nuneaton area that is worth eating in.See my other reviews on other places I have had the misfortune to eat in in this area.Not fancy but just good decent food that is not pretending to be something it isn't!!!

We have visited this pub several times to drink the excellent real ale but this was the first time for a meal. The restaurant was pleasantly busy for early in the week. We had three meals. Two were good, pie was especially good, choc full...

Lovely food and pub ! Great service ! Beer is real ale so have a tipple or two! We purchased...

Had Sunday lunch with the family. Came for the beer festival and ended up having Sunday lunch. Beer selection very good from both local breweries Sperrin and church end. Sampled some of church ends 'goats milk'. 3 course Sunday lunch, incl coffee for £11.95 was great value. Whitebait starter was fab! Service good and unusual setting. Recommended.

Three sirloin steaks not cooked as ordered and tough, cold soggy chips, cold wet mushrooms, hard peas, sloppy garlic bread.

Good selection of ales (own brewery). Let down by the way it was served. Sloped all over the bar and down the outside of glass by the time I carried it to table my hand was soaked with it.

The foods always good the staff always helpful and pleasant we always leave happy and satisfied apart from I have to drive there and can only drink a pint and a half of that that beautiful made on the premises sperrin ale ....good job I can take it away with me too

First class establishment. Wonderful choice of real ale brewed on the premises (Sperrin Brewery) We didn't use the restaurant but the food looked very good and it was a busy place. We unfortunately live some 90 miles away but will eat there when we are back in the area. I did have half a home-made pork pie to go with my several pins. It was excellent and a choice of beer all under £3.

We visited here for a family meal last night and it was excellent. We will definitely be returning for more food & real Ale.

Pet peeve is serving a bread roll that obviously comes out of the freezer and needs baking, in its raw state just blasted in a microwave. Why would a trained chef do that. So unappetising.Typical pub food, though not great quality Mums fish dish was very watery and she did not eat much as felt it was old. My scampi was fine. The Nelson needs modernising, it's dark and dingy, and just looks drab and grubby.There are much better pubs offering a similar menu, with better quality food, in more pleasant environments. Need to up their game if want to compete. That said staff were very nice and toilets clean

I have been eating here regularly for many years but standards and customer service seem to be on a decline . I ordered a ploughmans and my son ordered a special burger with pulled pork .The ploughmans was advertised as having mature cheddar but it was cheap mild cheddar,the bread rolls was too hard to break so asked for it to be changed, the replacement was even worse - when I complained I was told that it should never had been sent out but there was no offer of anything as an apology . My sons burger came with a teaspoon of pulled pork - difficult to spot. Very disappointing

We used to eat here regularly but haven't been for a couple of years thought we would go again what a mistake the burger was bland and tasteless the lasagne has large clumps of congealed meat in it the children's pizza was a microwave one and for the price you can go to other independents and get a far better meal.

Went Wednesday about 1.0 and had 3 courses off the Pensioner/smaller meals menu which is on Monday to Friday 12.00-2.30.There was ample choice on this menu. The service was excellent and quick. The food was excellent and well presented and served by friendly staff.The main menu has plenty of choices on if you have a bigger appetite.Will be visiting again soon without a doubt.

There is nothing nicer than to be able to go to your local pub and get a reasonably priced menu served in pleasant surroundings and the beer is good (says my husband who is currently working through the entire collection) even nicer is the fact that they welcome dogs which means we can walk the dog, have a drink and we usually get into conversation with some nice people - Britains Pubs at their finest!
