A good family pub and restaurant
I like the Nelson and we have been several times now, mostly during the day and mostly for food. There are a reasonable selection of beers (some local), but that's not my area of expertise.
The food is excellent, well above 'pub grub' standard, and the staff are extremely friendly. The restaurant is relaxed and comfortable although I prefer sitting outside; mainly because you can see the children's play area (with slide and swings). You do have to get used to the (very) free range chickens whilst you eat, however.
All in all, this is a great place to go with the family for a meal and be certain of decent food. The only criticism is that food service can sometimes be a little slow, but the food is worth waiting for.
