Real Ale Ray left this review about The Nelson

Doombar and Adnam's Ghost Ship on handpump on our stay here. The Ghost Ship was in good condition and prices were ok. The bar area is comfortable and service was good. This bar is tucked away around the back area of the lounge. There was some bench seating overlooking the river Wensum, so might be a good spot to sit out front when the weather is warm.

A floor of the Premier Inn hotel given over to restaurant and bar use. The modern bar is immersed in the centre of the building, so is rather gloomy, however there are tables on the outside walkway overlooking the river. Still with Doom Bar and Atlantic on handpump.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Nelson

As well as being the restaurant for the adjoining Premier Inn, this is also a riverside pub in its own right. Ignoring the formulaic interior (fitted out by the corporate pub-by-numbers team), it has a nice location by the river and the wooden benches outside can be a reasonable spot on a sunny day. Thankfully, it does do real ale too, albeit just two Sharp's beers on this visit: Doom Bar and Atlantic (£3.79). Handy for the railway station.
