Excellent little pub near the sea with two rooms decorated with nautical stuff and lots of woodwork giving a cosy feel. Garden area at rear. Beers from Adnams, and well-kept of course, and a busy food trade which wasn't sampled but looked good. Worth finding.

Blackthorn _ left this review about Lord Nelson
A traditional and cosy pub just off Southwold’s attractive High Street, it consists of a larger central bar with a smaller snug off to the right. Décor wise it’s quite traditional with some tiling on the floor, wood panelling on the walls and wooden pews to sit on. A snug off to the right had maroon paintwork on the ceilings and cream wood panelling on the walls as well as a high shelf running all around the room that was full of old soda bottles. Elsewhere there were various nautical artefacts such as ship’s photos, lamps, a wheel, a ship in a bottle, a picture of Admiral Nelson and a model of HMS Victory and one of it’s guns. A small brick fire-place contained a wood burning stove.
Beers on tap were all from Adnams as might be expected with the brewery just a stone’s throw away and on this occasion were Fat Sprat, Mosaic Pale Ale, Broadside, Ghost Ship and Southwold. The solitary cider meanwhile was Aspall’s Harry Sparrow.

We landed here on a Wednesday around noon, so the pub was quiet and had a good chance to have a look round and get served quickly. The pub is on the small side, so I couldn't imagine being in here at the weekend when it's mobbed. We went for the Adnams Sprindrift.
