Lord Nelson Arms, Salisbury

A traditional village pub dating from the 1700s, formed from two conjoined cottages.  There is a small car park and a fairly scruffy seating area, plus a garden with wooden benches and tables.  A new extension on the side houses a pool table.  The small public bar has an open fire, dartboards, a TV screen and a jukebox, and there is a bowl of water for dogs.  The larger lounge bar and dining room combined is formed from two earlier rooms.  The bar area has a laminate floor and plenty of space for drinkers, while the dining area is carpeted and comfortable.  Food is basic pub grub plus Indian-style tapas.  Ales on were Exmoor Gold and Speckled Hen, both in reasonable condition.  It’s a good local, welcoming, and I wouldn’t turn a blind eye to this one; worth a visit if in the area.
