The Admiral Nelson

If you’re going to the rugby this is a great pub for a swift half. There is a standard but good food menu and a great atmosphere. Mid week it’s a locals place and quiet but at weekends they have really good bands and you can have quite a knees up!

Lovely atmosphere — I stay away when there is a match but when it is quiet it is really nice to sit and have a drink. Burgers and pies are delicious! Seem to run low on other dishes.

I don’t have to look far now as I love around the corner from a Pub! I’ve been to this pub a few times and I cannot vouch for the beer as I don’t drink beer but I opted for a glass of wine. For a pub, they had decent tasting wine and served at a nice temperature.
It is usually busy at the Admiral Nelson with locals who have come in to watch a match or just have a drink with friends. The environment is great and accommodating to different age groups (over 21 of course).
There’s a nice selection of pub food although they always seem to be out of the meal platter selections such as ribs, chicken wings etc. If the demand is high, supply more. That’s the downfall, one of them, to the food menu.
As I’ve been here a few times and tried their food on two occasions, I must say that I was more impressed by the bangers and mash than I was with the ribs which I found dry and hard to eat on some sides. The food portion is quite big and good value for money. On other occasions, my friends have ordered the falafel burger which was very tasty and filling, the fish and chips which was less packed with batter than most other places which is a good thing. For the appetisers, I would recommend the crab cake which is tasty and crunchy enough to have you eat more!
The price is reasonable and they do have bands on Fridays after 9pm and entertain other events such as the upcoming valentines day one. Who knows whether I’ll be there!
If you’re a local, it is a nice place to hang out as there is a lot of seating space and an outdoor sitting and smoking area too.

This is a great pub. The food os good and at a reasonable price. The staff are friendly and helpful. It does get busy on rugby days but has a great atmosphere.
