Great food beer and service. Really great dog friendly pub sat right by the river. Highly recommend
Came yesterday for Mother’s Day..... food was delicious, service exceptional and the bags of sweets for the children as it was also my niece’s Birthday was a great little extra that they loved! Maybe a little something for the Mums would’ve made it quite perfect! Highly recommend.
This pub is a gem, especially for outdoor enthusiasts and dog lovers. The outdoor area is perfect for a relaxed time, and the fact that it's dog-friendly is a huge bonus! The Sunday roast is fantastic, but I must admit the gravy was a tad sweeter than my preference. Nonetheless, the overall experience is outstanding, making this pub a must-visit for a delightful day out. 🍻🌞🐶🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This was our first visit to The Nelson and we both opted for the Roast Beef Sunday dinner. It was absolutely delicious. The beef was beautifully cooked, the staff were attentive and served with a smile! Would definitely recommend and go back again but next time we will bring our dog 🐕 as the pub was very dog friendly.
A very cosy little pub. Accessible from the main road in Burton Joyce or via the pedestrian crossing over the train line from the river trent side. The food looked and smelled fantastic. Staff were a little slow and, to be honest, a tad miserable. But it didn't take away from the lovely atmosphere.
Prices were shocking!
For a pint of Guinness and a large house red wine, it was £16.40
The wine 🍷 turned out to be £11 a glass! It was a nice glass of wine, but it can be purchased for £13.99 a bottle online ( so it wasn't a premium wine ). It was massively overpriced. We didn't stop forward second drink!
Other than that I would recommend this little pub, it's nice. Just ask how much a glass of wine is before committing to bankrupting yourself!
I will visit again.
Just had a lovely Mother's Day meal at the Nelson. It was first-rate and good quick service. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was of excellent quality and ample portions.
Four of us had the Steak, Guinness & Mushroom Pie from The Nelson Burton Joyce specials menu. Each pie serves 2 and comes with mash and braised red cabbage. We shared an extra side of grilled broccoli and pickled shallots. The pie had a perfect, tasty filling and the texture of home-made pastry was just right. The portion sizes are very generous so one course was enough.
The staff are attentive and friendly, and made us feel that our custom was truly appreciated. I’d definitely recommend a visit, and will be back in the near future to try other items from the menu.
* Tip: We went on Fizz Friday when a bottle of bubbly is half price – a nice little touch. 🥂
Took mum for lunch.
She had the biggest fish finger sandwich we have ever seen £7.50.
The fish goujons were lovely with plenty of flaky white fish.
The other two dishes we had were the fish of the day,which was Haddock £16.
Served with chips, mushy peas, tartare and curry sauce.
Beef Bourguignon with Truffle mash £16.
This was very tasty with that lovely rich sauce.
It was all very filling and only lunch time so didn't have any desserts.
The staff are lovely, welcoming and very eager to please their customers.
Well worth a visit if your into great food and service as we are.
Went here to celebrate my husbands promotion at work. We had wanted to try it for a while but could never get a seat as always busy which we all know is a good sign. We were greeted friendly when we walked in seated very quickly and took our order quickly too. Starters were amazing I had the salmon and was delicious hubby had croquette beef. Declious! Main was even better lamb and belly pork. Lamb could have been more pink but pure delicious! We will be visiting again. Lovely staff and even laughed at my joke which wasn't funny as my husband told me in the car 🤣
Called in to collect my takeaway which was lovely, staff fab apart from the woman in the black dress ?? 'manager' who made a point of serving her boyfriend before me after I had been waiting for a while. You then had a bit of a moment with him ( so happy you're in a relationship but you really don't need to prove it) and then faff around to make me wait even longer, maybe its a power thing!
Anyway, one day you will be on the other side of the counter and let's hope you don't have to deal with someone well........like you!
From start to finish the staff couldn't be any better. Excellent customer service. Roast dinner was one of the best I have had. Fresh vegetables and came out piping hot. Cant fault anything if your thinking about coming here then do it. Beautiful outside garden too.
Local pub, not just for local people. They sell Amazing sausage rolls and other bar items. Live music, pizza nights and a decent beer garden.
There is a park nearby and a walk to the river too!
