Walked into the Nelson and was met by the new owners. Had such a great welcome and hilarious chat whilst drinking great beer! The Chilli squid is to die for. Amazing place, great food, drink and atmosphere.

We stumbled across this place while staying in Dover and were please beyond expectations. The new owners were so wonderful. The environment was so warm and welcoming…and a damn fine selection of beers. We will return before we leave Dover!

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.

Visited this during our recent trip to Dover on a very warm day. Lovely bar with friendly people. Had a Gin and Pimm’s cocktail, both were yummm. Enjoyed my time trying to complete the puzzle 😬 Also special mention for the very clean toilets 🙂

Best COLESLAW in the WORLD! We were only in town for a week, but we went back a few times because we loved it so much. It has a patio and plenty of space to relax. This place is all about good quality food and comfortable environment. The staff was super friendly, the beer was delicious and the food was amazing!

Great place for a drink with comfy outdoor seating by the riverside. Their sandwich menu has great vegan options. I went for the vegan friend chicken sandwich, my partner had the fish finger sandwich. Huge portions, so tasty and good value for money. Staff were really friendly. We'll definitely be back

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
