The Lord Nelson Inn in Calderdale

Wish this was our local. Warm welcome great beer and lovely atmosphere. Lovely beer garden for sunny days. Nice traditional pub. Try the port wine challenge! Only stayed for a couple of drinks but wish we had more time could have stayed all afternoon! Proper Yorkshire pub.

A brilliant pub with friendly staff & locals. We visit this establishment on several occasions throughout the year whilst walking our dog. Never disappointed.

The wake for a young family man who was born, grew up & who’s family/friends still live in the village/area & was the pub he was a regular before he had children. Pub opened up for it earlier than their usual opening times as it started at lunchtime so is clearly available to be used for certain occasions out of their usual opening times. It is only a small place inside but has a good amount of outdoor space available & hold a max of 40 to 50 people, it is typical cosy village pub the staff are friendly & there’s a good range of beers, lagers, soft drinks etc. The food was done by the pub which was one platter half brown half white bread egg mayo, one platter of tuna half & half, one platter ham half & half plus 5-6 small cakes which was each cut into quarters so giving four small quarters per cake. The food wasn’t anything special just basic sandwiches & shop bought cakes there also tea/coffee available that was in thermos flasks & was not particularly hot. The amount that was paid for the food was really very expensive for what was provided as the food was supposed to cater for 40 people. It was a lovely afternoon there but I would suggest if you are wanting some sort of food you would probably be better organising it yourself rather than having the pub do it & supply it.

Every few years we travel to Luddenden and always visit The Nelson, A very friendly place which serves excellent food on a Wed night and weekends and pulls an excellent pint. The quiz on a Tuesday is worth playing We will be back.

My father and i attended the Wednesday night special menu evening and the food was excellent! Sat with my father and my dog and we had a lovely meal and great service! Thanks Darren and the team

Unfortunately, the sunday roast was a long time coming, dry and lacking in taste, and the carrots were barely cooked. The sandwich with chips was ok, though, but the piped music was intrusive and tinny. I can't really recommend the place on the basis of our experience this time.

Attractive local in a very pretty village with friendly locals. Traditional decor with Lord Nelson information and books! Good choice of beer. Just right.

Had a lovely Sunday roast ,the owners are very friendly and make you feel very welcome . Very impressed with the pub , spotlessly clean .It is dog friendly , and so our west highand terrier was happy just to sit under the table .Will definitely visit again , when we visit my brother who lives in the area.

This is a superb country Inn located in a beautiful village setting. Very friendly staff (and locals!) and a great selection of beers. the food is top class, pub food but very good.

A relatively modern pub/restaurant with a bit of a "real pub" atmosphere. The menu was not exciting but the food was good home cooking (proper chips!).and very good value. Most friendly staff, Well worth a visit,

We were invited to a surprise 60th Birthday party at The Lord Nelson Inn. The setting is in a tiny village with narrow streets steep slopes and very little parking. Inside are several small room a very well stocked bar. Packed with locals and a great atmosphere, very friendly bunch. The pub had laid on a buffet which was lovely. Would certainly recommend a visit if you are in the area.

We visited the Lord Nelson for a Wednesday lunch and had a great time with lovely food. The welcome was warm as soon as we walked in. A simple and varied menu of popular favourites. My steak and potato pie was lovely and the chips were not the usual fries but proper chips of the sort you'd hope for in a good chippy. What's more is in a cracking location!

Great pub, great people, great beer, great food. A lively village pub. The owners and regulars are good company. The food is good and the drinks very good quality and reasonably priced.

Its an oldie worldie type of pgood beerlace but very endearing. Staff pleasant and beers are good. Parking isn't too good but you will find spaces just up the road.

Came as part of a large group of 35 for the Bradford literature festival's Brontë Heritage Tour. The pub is hidden away in the beautiful surroundings of Luddenden foot. Despite tight timings the staff managed to serve everyone with their homemade plate pies very efficiently, and we all left replete to continue our tour. We'd never been to Luddenden prior to this trip, but now I'm certain we'll return to the pub which is steeped in history, as a former haunt of Branwell Brontë.

A proper old world pub in a lovely little village, highly recommended! Ideal for families or walkers that are just passing, can't wait to visit again!

Can't recommend this pub highly enough. Called in Saturday lunchtime and got great pub food in an old fashioned village pub with a friendly welcome. We will be back

Éramos 4 adultos y 2 niños, que tenía un viaje muy largo. El recibimiento fue cálido, como era el pub. La comida estaba bien y nos gustó el hecho de que los niños más pequeños de comida para adultos versión en vez de las comodidades usuales. El único inconveniente era bastante lento el servicio, pero disfrutamos de la comida de lo contrario.

"Nellie", como es conocida cariñosamente a los lugareños ha acabo de inquilinos nuevos. Así que esta crítica es sólo un starter como l no esperan una vez que estén instalados en que sólo consigue mejor. Fuimos para asado los domingos. Tenía tres y una carne de cerdo. Carne adorable y tierno con buena pudines yorkshire y patatas. Verduras era un poco escaso y la salsa ligeramente grasienta. Aunque agradable. El apple cayera y natillas era precioso. Buena selección de cervezas y pub es muy agradable y atento personal. Esta es una nueva aventura para los chicos aquí, así que ir y ver cómo se desarrolla. También se sirven sándwiches, hamburguesas, ensaladas y para satisfacer los numerosos senderistas que visitan la zona.

We were staying in the area for the weekend so the Lord Nelson was recommended to us,we were a party of eleven that was no problem to the staff all ordered different meals all came on time and I had the roast beef dinner best ever and plenty of it.Everyone enjoyed their meal.Thanks to staff hope to call again.

Lord Nelson is historic. You will be met with a friendly service to match the setting. A good range of beers at a good price with wholesome food to match. Luddenden is an old village with very narrow streets and parking is at a premium. Suggest parking outside the village and walking in, visitors will not be disappointed.

I had the locally sourced roast beef. After a short wait it arrived piping hot and was obviously freshly prepared. The beef itself was delicious and tender and very thickly sliced. The Duchsse potatoes were light and fluffy , the roasts cooked to perfection and the tastiest gravy I've had since last had my Mother's 20 too many years ago. Full marks to Debbie, Pjillipa & crew, it was glorious outside and I know it was like a furnace in the kitchen.. ill be back.

Visited the Lord Nelson on Saturday with my girlfriend lovely warm welcome awesome real ale and cracking sandwiches... shame the rain ruined our walk but back again in the summer for sure.

My partner and I recently visited Luddenden Village and took in a beverage and food at the Lord Nelson. We received a warm reception in the very cosy and comfortable pub. The food we ordered was delicious and fresh. The staff were lovely. Thank you for a lovely time.

Recently moved to Luddenden and have kept meaning to try our local. We walked down from Booth for a couple of drinks and were impressed with the menuWe were not disappointed well cooked well served food just like the previous reviews. Will we go again definitely yes

Debbie really knows how to satisfy. really good, tasty food in big portions. enough to fill the biggest of appetites and have I mentioned it tastes lovely too. All that with a couple of yummy pints of proper beer and you can't fail!

With a selection of hand pulled beers and warming fires in the winter, the Lord Nelson makes a perfect Yorkshire get away to go and eat in the center of the picturesque Yorkshire Pennines. I have been drinking in the pub for many years but have never had a meal here. We enjoyed two courses each, all cooked to a high standard. In fact I will go as far to say the mussels were the best I have had since I was in Brussels 20 years ago! An excellent bottle of wine combined with a friendly service made for a very enjoyable evening. Thank you Debbie.

We had several evenings at the Lord Nelson last week while on holiday. It has a truly lovely atmosphere - obviously the 'hub' of the village and was welcoming and friendly. The staff were extremely helpful and introduced my husband to the local beers and we had several extremely enjoyable, well cooked meals there. The food was straightforward, home cooking style - good quality and well presented. Would recommend anyone to stop there for an evening.

My wife and i went to the Lord Nelson for a meal on Sunday 2nd August after a Recommendation from a friend, He was right We had a starter then two meals. The lady behind the was very nice she showed me the menu and we placed an order it arrived within 10 minutes it was nice and hot. We both through the meal was very Good. At a good Price. Overall the pub is very nice and clean much larger on the in side than you would think. Parking in a bit restricted but don't worry just park down the road 50 yards and take your camera with you because you have gone back in time with House's. The date over the pub door was 1632 i think..We can highly Recommend this pub and we will call back again...

Sunday 2/8/15 my mam and myself walked onto the Lord Nelson Inn thought we would have our Sunday Lunch. When we arrived we had a very warm welcome from the lady behind the bar. We got our drinks then decided what we where going to have 2 roast beef dinners when the food arrived fresh veg and we enjoyed our meals very impressed the ladies that brought our meals where also very pleasant we had our deserts again very impressed with overall we had a very enjoyable experience from beginning to end thank you and I highly recommend the Lord Nelson, I also asked about Gluten free meals and the lady said just let them know and the chef will sort it out.

We arrived for dinner after a recommendation at 6:25pm to be told the kitchen was closed despite the sign on the street saying open until 7pm. Missed opportunity to serve 5 hungry Australians.

This is a pure gem of a pub. Tucked away in the village of Luddenden, it's a haven for locals and visitors alike. An array of traditional beers are available, along with a good selection of wines. There is now a quirky gin menu in addition to a fine selection of spirits. Excellent home made food is available Friday Saturday and Sunday, along with pie and pint night on Wednesday evening. Overall you will be knocked out by the atmosphere and hospitality afforded to all who enter the nellie. A must for all conissiours of the quatiness of a good English pub.

Stopped by for lunch as part of the Bradford Literature Festival on an organised trip where lunch was included. Basically had pie and peas. We had cheese and onion pie being vegetarians. Wow!!!! Proper pie! Gorgeous shortcrust pastry. Very tasty indeed. The meat version looked good too. Generous portions. Would definitely visit again

Debbie and the team always make us and more occasional visitors feel welcome and well fed. Be it winter round the fire or on the green in the summer it is a great place for walkers and locals alike

Well what a little gem! Beautiful surroundings and a warm welcome. Had a great night with friends and as for the food, we had an amazing buffet which included the best cheese and onion pie i have ever tasted.

our first visit and we loved it. With friends for a birthday celebration, traditional surroundings , great beer and drinks- very reasonable. The buffet served was superb! Cosy and friendly place - we thoroughly enjoyed - 10 out of 10 for pub grub

We went last night for a meal with friends, the atmosphere and the food was lovely. Made to feel so welcome. We will be back. Always friendly and welcoming

My wife and I live locally but have only ever called in the 'Nelly' for a drink occasionally in summer and sat in the beautiful and peaceful beer garden.Last Saturday we called in for a pub lunch and were pleasantly surprised to see they served food all day (12-8) on weekends. There was a roaring fire, a bunch of friendly locals and a really welcoming member of staff called Nicky. She was really happy to talk us through the menu and recommend dishes. Two she suggested were the lamb Henry cooked with garlic and rosemary and dauphinoise potatoes, and the homemade pies. We decided on home made meat and potato pie with mushy peas. We weren't disappointed- the homemade crust was thick and crumbly and the gravy was beautifully minted with a side order of homemade mushy peas. It is without doubt one of the best homemade meat and potato pies I've had in a pub, and rivals even my auntie's! We were even more pleased at the price- £5.95!All in all, a terrific visit and one which we're really looking forward to repeating. Families are welcome too.

This was my local pub until this year, but sadly I never liked going there. I ate there once with my family, I ordered cheese and onion pie, but they sent me cheese and pepper pie, it looked like they'd emptied the entire pepper grinder into my pie and forgot the onions. They weren't bothered when I sent it back and didn't apologize. General service is also lacking. Both drinks and food prices are also very high, especially considering what you get. It's a real shame as it's such a cozy, lovely pub.

Tucked away in a tiny, steep village with no apparent car park, this pub is nevertheless well worth a visit. We went on a Friday evening when it was quite busy, but the locals all took the trouble to talk to us, which is not something you can say about every country pub. The menu is actually very small; three roast dinners, two pies, a fish option and a vegetarian option; I suppose they don't expect large crowds. We all found something to eat and enjoy. The portions were generous and had a satisfying home-made feel about them, except the Yorkshire puddings. The only downside was that it took an awful long time to come. I know a 50 minute wait suggests that they were cooking it from fresh, but you don't expect them to have to catch the fish first! I still think it is worth a four * because of the friendliness, the quality of the food and the good value.

We stayed in Luddenden for a week, visiting the Lord Nelson on a handful of occasions. Each time we experienced a friendly welcome from staff and locals alike. The pub has a great atmostphere - somewhere that is very much a part of the village. Food is served weekends and Wednesday. Wednesday is a real treat - Pie and Pint for £6.50, a real bargain considering how good the pies were, I opted for the Cheese and Onion, something I hadn't had for years and it was a delight. There is a lovely garden to the rear too.

What a lovely pub!! A huge thank you to Geoff for not only making us incredibly welcome, but for reminding us of what a good pub actually is. I cannot speak highly enough of the atmosphere, the food (fantastic roast dinner at an incredibly good price) and the lovely welcome from staff. Well done to everyone there and we wish you the very best of luck for the future. We will most definitely be coming back!! Highly recommended.Sam and Neil x

The place is as friendly and welcoming as anywhere could get. The beers are very well looked after and has regular guest beers to satisfy the discerning drinker. The staff are accommodating, friendly and nothing is too much trouble.We had a family gathering and the landlady laid on a BBQ with a range of salads, breads and a full range of burgers, sausages, kebabs and also enquired about dietary requirements. To say this food was amazing is an understatement. It was well above the normal standard.A massive thank you to Debbie and all her staff

Nestled in the picturesque Village of Luddenden is the quaint little pub, the Lord Nelson. Everything about the Lord Nelson is superb. The staff are hospitable and welcoming, the locals are warm and friendly.The landlord prepared a special BBQ for a reunion we we held there and the food was to die for, fish, stake and amazing salads went side by side with your usual BBQ food. Everybody absolutely loved it!The garden at the back is well kept and really pretty. A great place to waste away a sunny afternoon in. Recommended for anybody driving though!

Did not actually eat at the pub on this occasion. Debbie from the Nelson catered a drinks party with canapes. Cannot fualt the selection, quality or quantity; excellent choice of canapes which included an varied selection of vegetarian food; all tastes catered for. Would highly recommend

What a lovely place ,lovely food very tasty,helpful staff and stunning surroundings.will definitely be back and would highly recommend ...... Thank you x

I have eaten here before with friends and been very happy with the experience. Called again today just for a drink and ended up eating while we were there. The staff are friendly, helpful and the atmosphere is brilliant. The food is good quality and very tasty, I cleared my plate. The layout of the pub allows you to be involved in the banter or sit aside and you don't feel your company is intruded on if that suits your mood. The décor reflects the age of the building but is also immaculately kept.The menu is regularly updated and reflects seasonal availability of ingredients locally sourced. This is a lovely old pub in the sleepy village of Luddenden well worth a visit for its beauty and local hill walking then into the 'Nellie' for a well earned drink - it doesn't get much better than this. Would highly recommend a visit, I will certainly be back soon.

Tucked away in the gorgeous village of Luddenden (a stones throw from Hebden Bridge) is a special little pub called 'The Nelly', a hidden gem, quite literally! I genuinely believe that the awareness of this place needs to be raised to enable continued and future success. We call in for lunch at least twice per month and although we love having the place almost to ourselves (well apart from the others that have stumbled across it), it is selfish not to share!!The food is delicious, homemade and most importantly consistent - a varied, fresh and seasonal menu to be enjoyed either in front of the open fires in winter or in the award winning beer garden when the sun puts its hat on! The garden is something else and a definite location for a social gathering, or a place to rest with the dogs after a stroll around the beautiful surroundings.I highly recommend the Nelly and would like to thank the entire team for making it what it is today!

We have eaten here today and after an hours wait our main course arrived sadly this arrived before our starter. When we mentioned we hadn't had our stater the waitress just glared at us and no starters had been ordered, but when she spoke to the girl who took our order she said she forgot to send the slip to the kitchen. Our main courses arrived and 2 of the meals were nearly warm and the other 2 were cold. I could accept that maybe the chef was having a bad day, but worst of all were the attitude of the staff, who were rude, arrogant and clearly not interested in attempting a half decent apology.

This pub used to be my local until I moved away from the area. I was pleasantly surprised, when we returned, to find that the Nelson has had a refurb and is looking very smart inside, without losing any of its quaint charm. We stopped for a drink and lunch. The fly in the ointment was someone else's lipstick on my glass. However, it was changed promptly and other glasses checked. The rest of our experience here was so lovely, it's a shame to bring this up, but in the interests of a fair & balanced review….We had the soup & bread (£5), cheese & onion pie & mushy peas (£6) and soup, sandwich & side salad (£8). All home-made. The soup was divine, the bread chunky and the chicken and beef from a reputable local butcher. The cheese in the pie was strong tasting and perfect for cutting through the peas.Staff were chatty, friendly and smiling. Absolutely well worth a visit.

My husband and I stopped off for a lunch break at the Lord Nelson whilst out walking. The building is a beautiful 17th century inn worth a visit just to look at this historical place. The landlord was welcoming and the interior of the inn was clean and nicely furnished with some interesting old pictures on the walls. We really enjoyed our lunch, I had the walkers special, butternut squash, chestnut and apple soup with a chicken sandwich, the soup was excellent. My husband ordered cheese and onion pie and mushy peas and it looked gorgeous, which he said it was! A really enjoyable lunch in a fantastic setting. We will definitely return.

I visited this pub on recommendation of a friend who lives locally.The pub is in a great setting, and is the only pub in this quaint village.There was a warm welcome from the staff. The pub was pleasantly busy, but not overly full.I ordered the large chicken dinner at £8.50. We all sat in the garden area. The food arrived within a good space of time. It was delicious and well cooked and served with 3 types of vegetables, and two type of potatoes, plus yorkie puds. It certainly was a lot too eat also.The waiting staff were excellent, polite and service with a smile.I would recommend eating at this pub restaurant, and hope to visit again.

We came across this place quite by accident whilst exploring the area by motorbike. The pub, which is situated in a picturesque village, looked very old, quaint and inviting, so we parked up and ventured in. Really pleased we did as the welcome was genuine and friendly, the atmosphere was lovely and the food was fantastic! This is definitely one establishment we would return to again and again. The food was very good value for money, beautifully presented and faultless. Can't wait to go back!
