The Lord Nelson in Harrogate

Karen and her family are great Publicans and you are always made to feel welcome. The menu has a good choice of food which is all home cooked at reasonable prices. I go often for coffee and ice cream as there is a good selection of flavours. Great ambiance and spotlessly clean too. Highly recommend a visit.

First visit since reopening. Warm welcome, presume now family run. Nice surrounds inside and out. Food was excellent and loafs to eat. £30 odd for 2 main, sweet and drinks.

Amazing staff. Very accommodating of our particular needs. We come every week. Food is amazing particularly Sunday dinner. Relaxing environment. Great people and great place.

I am writing a review of our terrible experience at this establishment and to respond to the fiction of the response to the review below. I am the mother of a seventeen year old boy who has severe Crohn's Disease. This is an inflammatory bowel disease and causes crippling pain and an urgent need to go to the toilet. My son is registered with a disability and is registered with the Crohn's and Colitis organisation and carries their need to go disability card. We were travelling home today along an A road that does not have any services. My son was doubled over in pain for miles along the road so I pulled into this establishment's car park so he could use the toilet as it was an emergency. There wasn't anybody near the entrance or behind the bar to show his card to so he proceeded quickly to the toilet to avoid an embarrassing accident. Upon his exit from the toilet he was met by an intimidating, aggressive male who firstly tried to block him from leaving the pub and then followed him out of the pub threatening that he was going to teach him the lesson not to use other peoples toilets. Instead of giving my son the opportunity to explain in a sane and calm manner, he chased him out of the pub, following him into the car park screaming at him and threatening him. My son has been seriously ill for over a year and is very frail. The first thing I knew that anything was amiss at this appalling establishment was when he hurried from the pub with a large framed man following him shouting he was going to teach him a lesson. The male stopped chasing my son when he realised that he wasn't travelling alone but was with myself and my daughter. I went up to the male who was acting in an unbelievably aggressive manner to protect my son and get him safely back in the car. I tried to reason with the male and explain the situation but he responded that he doesn't care if my son was in pain or if people have disabilities and it isn't his responsibility to look after them. His lack of compassion, vitriolic abuse to disability, myself and my son, and his threatening, intimidating behaviour and sheer aggression was disgraceful. I understand that having a disability does not entitle anybody to use the toilet and it is at the discretion, understanding and goodwill of an establishment but there isn't any excuse for the way that my son was treated today and he most certainly should not have been followed out into the car park with threats.

Always a great atmosphere and the staff are always very accommodating! Great environment for families, my children enjoy an evening at the Nelson. The food is great! The kids love the sweet shop located within. If you haven’t been yet, it is very much worth a visit!

The Nelson Inn is back!Back to great food, the pizzas are so good.Back to excellent service.Back to being a lovely, unpretentious pub.Long may it continue, we missed you.

The place itself was lovely. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was excellent and modestly priced. The ambience was warm and welcoming. To be highly recommended.. Thank you Lord Nelson

Fantastic! Food was excellent, I had the feta and falafel salad (heaven) and my partner had the steak and ale pie, which actually had chunks of steak in it! Service was just as you'd hope it would be, polite and not overbearing. So disappointed that this is so far from home as I'd definitely become a regular 😊.

The Nelson was amazing. Fitted us I'm despite not booking. Very attentive staff. There was an issue with some customers and staff rallying around making sure everyone else was OK, not offended or wanting to move. Excellent customer service ( I should know I train it) food excellent. So good I'm visiting again next day

Great food, great service, staff all very friendly and the kids love it! There is an outdoor area for kids to run around that is gated from the car park and no where near the main road. The playground part is ok for kids 3+ I would say. There is a sweetshop on site that also does amazing sundaes and milkshakes! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a meal out with young kids!
