We enjoyed our lunch time get together with friends at The Lord Nelson Brewery Hotel. The atmosphere was lovely and relaxing. Staff and food were great too. I highly recommend visiting, even if it's just for drinks.

We very much enjoyed the blue swimming crab with spaghetti!! We've been on the Cunard Queen Anne for 5 weeks, in the "la ti da" Princess Grille dining room, and the Lord Nelson dish was better than most of our meals on board!!! We did not know we needed to order at the bar...it would have been nice if the person who seated us had mentioned the fact. Noise is expected in a pub, so asking about the noise level is not really fair.

Never disappoints! We had our 1 year anniversary there last night (we were married in the restaurant upstairs last year) and it was perfect. We had a nice quiet table off to the side. Our meal was delicious. My husband had the special - Beef Vindaloo and I had the veg curry (my favourite). It was a lovely evening. The Lord Nelson has a special place in our hearts.

Noise level that loud that you have difficulty in having any sort of conversation. Has to be the loudest place I’ve ever been
