Would avoid unless you want burgers it was terrible food the pub was nearly empty and the menu was mostly burgers a few chicken and rice dishes not what I was expecting I thought when I booked the table it was street food for takeaway not for the restaurant I thought they had a different menu would not come here again

Been to the Nelson several times before and always enjoyed the food and service, but went back two days ago to find it's changed to a burger house. The food was acceptable but not what was advertised on their website. Sadly we won't be going back which is a shame as we live locally and liked to use the Nelson as our go to pub for a meal out.

I don't very often leave reviews but felt I should for The Nelson. We stopped off for lunch on drive from Derbyshire to Suffolk and it was well worth the mini detour. We had a great lunch, we'd only planned on a sandwich but ended up with a bit more! :) Lovely service, really friendly and efficient and great pub grub. Lots of lovely choice on the menu, sure we'll pop in again next time thank you!

My wife’s brother was up from London to meet his newly found sister, who lives in Lincoln so, having done a recce decided on here. Staff were warm and welcoming and the food was great. In my top five of the world for ploughman’s and the seafood platter to share was massive! An old style pub which we are sadly losing a lot of recently, I would be more than happy to have this as my local.

Just popped in as lived two houses away growing up so I was so happy so see the brilliant transformation. We got a very friendly greeting from Ellie as we walked through the door. Decided to have lunch which was excellent and reasonably priced. Even our dog got a warm welcome and a bowl of water. A lovely atmosphere and we will definitely pop in again when we’re passing through the village.,

Came on the 17th with my son Matthew to try the launch of the new menu. Having eaten here several times under the new name, including Christmas Day, we were not disappointed. The food was delicious and the service as always was excellent. Jess was on that night and spent time chatting with us, but all the staff are warm and welcoming. Looking forward to returning soon. Worth the short drive to get out of Lynn.

Having come away for Xmas with family and this being the pub local to us, I Cannot recommend this place enough. We went there last night with the in laws and their dog (having checked prior) and he was given just as much of a warm welcome as we were! We ordered 6 steaks and there wasn’t a scrap of food left on any of our plates! The staff, the food and the venue were all brilliant, wouldn’t hesitate to return or recommend!

My wife needs persuading to go out! She loved the Lord Nelson, its lovely decor, brilliant disabled toilets, excellent food, good value and warm welcome. We will return soon. I run a small music charity for children and the musicians love it too.

Recently moved to the area and so decided to try out the local. I have to say I was thoroughly impressed. Although it was very quiet (early evening) the staff were really attentive. What’s more they seemed to be happy and cheerful which is sadly lacking in many places these days. It made a pleasant change to be greeted and welcomed as I walked through the door. The girl who did was cheerful and even asked if I would like a table or a seat in the bar. The chap behind the bar kept my drink topped up and also made me feel really welcome. Although I did not eat on this occasion I did see AND smell food that others had ordered and will most definitely be coming back to try!! The bar had a wide selection of spirits and drinks to choose from from what I could see. There must be a lot of local gin drinkers as half the shelf was full of the stuff. Not being much of a spirit drinker myself I had a German sounding beer which I can confidently say hit the spot just right.

We went for Sunday lunch for a belated birthday celebration. The star is the roast lunch, either individual or a shared platter. We had pork and beef, the meat was fantastic and the vegetables were crisp not soggy, the gravy was to die for, as was the Yorkshire pud. As a surprise my husband had ordered a cake, this was a delicious chocolate ganache cake with candles. The service is great, friendly and accommodating, nothing is a problem. Thankyou to Ellie and her staff.

We live part time in the next village and wanted a Sunday late lunch (very late) in the afternoon. We had visited the Nelson a few times and before under its old name of the Partridge for BOTH lunch and dinner. They took out late booking of 4PM even though they closed at 5PM. We were greeted as soon as we came in the entrance door and shown to a table and asked what we wanted to drink whilst we looked at the menu. I ordered the mushroom soup to start followed by roast pork and Mrs Astute ordered a prawn cocktail followed by the roast chicken. We both enjoyed 2 first class meals and an excellent friendly service. The overall bill was very reasonable. We will continue to return and more than happy to recommend this pub/restaurant.

We went with friends to try the Sunday Roast . The wife had Pork and I had Beef . Very warm welcome and good service . However both our Dinners was Luke warm and the gravy very thin and runny no taste ! Quite disappointing. Very limited deserts choice of Crem Brûlée or Eat & Mess . My friend and I had Eat & Mess at £7.50 tasty but disappointed very small portion certainly not worth £7.50 ! On a good point had a pint of Ghost Ship which was nice . Overall 5 / 10 expected better .

We booked in for an evening meal during Norfolk Restaurant Week having never been to The Nelson before. We were not disappointed at all. Our waitress, was very attentive and we were sat at our table straight away with drinks delivered quickly. For starters we had the halloumi and the pork bon bons, both dishes were delicious and presented beautifully. Our mains of beef short rib and the steak arrived quickly, and we're equally delicious. The short rib was so tender and fell off the bone, the steak was like butter and melted in my mouth! Dessert for my husband was creme brulee and he assured me it was the best he had ever had (and he's had a lot!). every dish was presented beautifully and cooked perfectly. The waitress was so lovely, and appeared genuinely happy that we had enjoyed our meal. We would highly recommend The Nelson to anyone who enjoys an excellent meal in a nice village pub.

Three of us had a delightful lunch on the first day of Norfolk Restaurant Week. We could not have chosen better for our first meal at The Nelson. Sea bream and two curries were so tasty and beautifully presented. We moved on to salted chocolate slice and two creme brûlée. All three were exceptional. We congratulate the chef on excellent dishes and commend the service which was friendly and helpful.

We booked for the New Year's Eve buffet (a party of 4) to celebrate my birthday. Before booking and paying the total bill in advance, I checked that there would be vegetarian choices and that we could bring our 2 well behaved dogs with us. I was also told that we could bring our own bottle of wine. I asked if we could have a corner table so that we could be out of the way with the dogs. When we arrived at 1.55pm for the 2pm sitting the 'Closed' sign was on the door. After a couple of minutes we opened the door and asked if we may come in and the reply was an abrupt "Have you booked?" No hello any or other welcome. We stood waiting to be shown to our table then overheard a staff member saying to another customer "Sit where you like". We chose a table in the corner which had 5 chairs around it, at which point a staff member said "We are fully booked so if you sit there you will have 2 other people sitting with you. (Strange as there were only 5 chairs). I then asked her where we should sit and was told on a table for 4. As we were about to sit at a table for 4 we were told that we couldn't sit there as they were expecting a party of 10 and the lady proceeded to push the table we were going to sit at, up against another table. I find it incredible that there was a booking for a party of 10, yet no table had been prepared for them. We then sat at the only other table for 4, which was very close to the buffet table, and not really ideal. A lady offered us drinks but we said that we had a bottle of wine and 4 glasses were brought to the table. By 2.10pm nothing had been said, so one of our party asked if we could help ourselves to food and were told "Yes". None of the plates were labelled "V" so it was impossible to tell what was vegetarian, and I had to ask. I was appalled to discover that the vegetarian items were on the same plates mixed up with meat and fish items. This really is unacceptable and makes me wonder about the standards applied in the kitchen regards to cross contamintion of utensils and preparation surfaces. The vegetarian quiche was on the same plate and touching quiche containing bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches had ham ones piled on top of them, and egg vol-u-vents were on the same plate as fish ones. People were using the same tongs to pick up meat and then cheese. Our table was so close to the buffet table that at one point we actually had a ladies bottom resting on our table. As I was eating a piece of quiche my friend stopped me to point out that there was a hair in it. She took the piece of quiche to a member of staff who actually laughed and took it from her. There was no apology whatsoever. Although fully booked, the table for 5 where we wanted to sit remained unoccupied, as did another table by the window which would have been far more comfortable for us. As there was no table service, and the food was already prepared the staff were sitting/standing around. Yet, there was no interaction at all. No-one came to the table to ask if everything was ok, no Happy New Year, no friendly chat whatsoever. It gave the impression that as they had received their money up front that was their job done. I can honestly say I have never felt so unwelcome in a local tea room before. The previous owners always had a smile and a warm welcome. I believe it is fair to give the management the opportunity to respond, so I sent a private message to Petals to express my disappointment. Unfortunately I did not receive the courtesy of an acknowledgment or reply. Needless to say I would not return, but hope that my comments regarding cross contamination will be taken note of for the sake of other vegetarian/vegan customers.

We were recommended here by our Airbnb host and it did not disappoint. Headline: Food was amazing. We had ‘Mega breakfasts’ which were very generous and the hand made sausages were sublime. Price point was spot on for a beach café. It was absolutely heaving when we visited, the secret is out! But we just about managed to find a table and enjoy our wonderful meals. 4* because it is possibly TOO dog friendly. One table of four was taken up by a lady with two dogs (who had a chair each) as well as a buggy for the dogs. The lady didn’t have an order (only the dogs) but this party left a family eating off plates while standing up. Also the Wi-Fi was out of service,
