Easy to book table online. Service and food very good

A friend and I visited on the recent Bank Holiday Sunday for drinks and a meal. The range of real ales on offer was reasonable, as was the price. The table I had previously reserved for supper was immediately available, and comfortable (so far as the heat-wave allowed!), though noisy motor-bikes right outside the window were annoying (restrict them to the car park??). Waiting staff were attentive and polite, despite the busyness of the place due to the weather and the Holiday. Both our starters (Brixworth pate and baked Camembert), as well as my main (black & blue salad, with the most tender rare steak I've ever eaten!) were delicious. However, my friend noted that his lamb koftas were both over-salted and over-cooked: the outer crust was very dry.

Lovely dinner this week with my family celebrating 2 birthdays, service was great the food was amazing - 3 of us had steak and one had burger and its the best pub food we have had for a long time - highly recommend!

Excellent Sunday lunch even though it was 5.00. Good range of real ale. Friendly staff. Great position, canal side.

Great little place on a beautiful surrounding with really good food

Service was excellent, Burgers were amazing, the only thing i did not like about the pub is that they allow dogs in the eating areas which is fine but not when your allergic to them. Would recommend they have an area for eating with dogs and one for no dogs , as we were not asked if it was OK for two dogs to be on the next table to us .

Service and food was absolutely brilliant , everything was hot and well presented, staff were really lovely and friendly and attentive without being overly attentive, they got it just right. Definitely will be returning

We have used the Admiral Nelson a few time, me and my family had lunch there yesterday 13th May. They were very busy for a lunch time , every time we’ve been there, the service has always been excellent , the food good, and great value for money. I would certainly recommend this pub.

What a great place this is. My fourth visit and it's always great! I drive an hour to get here but it's so worth it. The pub is in a beautiful spot right next to the canal with some lovely walks around it but the real pull is the amazing food that is served here. This time I had the Sunday roast, which I have had before and it was so good. I had the pork and plenty of food that was so tasty and delicious. We had a little walk then back for dessert they were also delicious. The staff here are all so friendly and lovely and the service is the best! Great atmosphere here even though it was busy, we were looked after very well. Highly recommend and can't wait to come back

Fabulous first visit to this pub restaurant. We will be back!

Very nice meal. I had steak and ale pie with cheesy mashed potato. The mash tasted homemade the broccoli was cooked perfectly with a like crunch and hint of butter. Pie equally good. Excellent service and nice ambience. Would definitely return

Outstanding value, excellent food, supurb portions. Friendly and efficient team who, despite being busy on a lovely sunny day, served four set lunches without any delay or undue rush. The set menu offers a perfect choice and is prepared well, presentation is spot on.

Had a wonderful meal, great atmosphere and brilliant service once again. Thank you

Visited here with some friends for lunch. Lovely pub right on the canal. Food was nice and the service was very good. Nice atmosphere too.

Absolutely belting burgers. I booked a table for my man's 40th birthday treat. He's a bit of a burger snob and touched passed 110%. Ive always lived the Nelly, but had yet to try the menu since the management change. We will definately return! The only thing.....Im thankful we walked over as the car park was full when we got there at midday. Will keep that in mind for the future.

Great food and service. Shame about greeting we got with the children. Booked on line was told that no bookings can be made for outside table. By the Lock.. But had conformation via email to say we where booked in. Doesn't say anything on line that bookings can NOT be made for outside Table

Great food and great service as usual.

Excellent food and service all at very reasonable prices compared to other venues. Nothing to fault and as always looking forward to return.
