After having been shut for some time The Nelson re-opened last October (2011). It's curious in this land-locked county how many pubs are named for the great sea captain: there's one at Bullbridge, another (closed) in Eastwood and doubtless lots more.
The Nelson has one large room with a welcoming fire and a cheerful barmaid. The walls are hung with a curious mixture of pictures and objects, so the overall atmosphere is homely. Our in-house expert assessed the pork pies as fair to good, while we all felt that the beer (or at least the one we tried) was nicely kept. Worth visiting again.
Can't find a photo of this anywhere!
ReplyDeleteGoogle Images has one, taken on a warm May afternoon (though this is not self-evident from the photo itself!)
DeleteYes, welcoming and a fine array of amusements on offer - table decked with hyacinths, playing cards and stacking wooden acrobats, carpet infested by small frantic puppy and sage old Snowy.
