About The Admiral Nelson

The Admiral Nelson at Braunston is the quintessential canalside pub with the building pre-dating the opening of the Grand Union Canal in 1730. The pub sits right next to Lock No. 3 and is a great spot to enjoy excellent food and drink in the most picturesque of settings. The menus offers a wide choice of classic pub fayre - alongside some more exotic options - and food is served at lunch and dinner weekdays and right through the day from 12 noon at weekends. The Admiral Nelson welcome families and it’s a dog-friendly venue with pooches welcome in the bar or dining area. Quiz Night is every Thursday, starting at 9pm.

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.

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 .

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
