Quinno _ left this review about Nelson
Aged narrow building with a lovely arched frontage, a rarity as the immediate area is mainly grim post war development. The inside has been subject to a recent hideous refit and is now a featureless long narrow room with sky blue walls, ice blue neon strip lights and a rear conservatory. No soul, like an estate agent on valium. Two over-loud TVs tuned to E4 for the staff's own pleasure (I was the only customer). A bare bar area with little choice beyond half a dozen national keg fonts. I went for half a Guinness (£2.50) and made good my escape. An atrocious, sterile mess.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Nelson
This backstreet building is hidden away behind the Regent's Place development, with an unusual façade hiding a very plain rectangular bar. Modern furniture and decor, but rather dark (apart from the large conservatory at the back). Dingy downstairs room with an apparently disused pool table in a roped-off area. Two small tables out front plus a little patio to the rear. Describes itself as a "Restaurant & Bar", but no menus, crockery or cutlery on the tables when I visited (so perhaps food is just a lunch-time thing, as it seemed to be just locals drinking in the early evening). No real ale, so I had a quick pint of a thin, brown liquid describing itself as Toby Bitter (£3.00) and I was off...

Steve C left this review about The Lord Nelson
This is a strange pub that had a crowd of city gents in one part of the pub and a crowd off the estate over the road in another part. The barmaid's English was very basic and I had to repeat that I wanted a half of Guinness three times before she put down the pint glass and filled up a Dreher half glass. The draught selection is limited with a few standard lagers, Staropramen and Magners.
There is a plasma screen that was playing away with some random programme that nobody was watching and the only music was from the adverts on said plasma.
There are a couple of picnic benches out the front and there is also a conservatory built on the back of the pub.
I had a bit of trouble finding this place and in the end I wish that I hadn't.
