Nelson Arms - Waverley

Accommodated us on a busy Sunday even though we hadn't booked. Staff were friendly and efficient. Nothing was too much bother. Lovely food. Enormous and tasty roasts. Love the style of the pub too.

Indulge me, for I must extol the virtues of my preferred haunt, presided over by the esteemed manager, Harry. With a staff as splendid as the décor and a libation selection to rival the finest establishments, it’s an experience not to be missed. The fare, while not without merit, pales in comparison to the ambiance. Yet, amidst the charm, one cannot ignore the occasional disruption caused by an elderly duo ensconced in the corner, their disapproving glances toward our furry friends and young patrons. Nonetheless, under Harry’s watchful eye, such trifles are but fleeting inconveniences.

We came here for Sunday Roast on 18 Feb as we really enjoy this superb oldie worldee pub which has so much character. The food was absolutely superb and just the right sized portions. The only thing I would say is three small roast potatoes is not quite enough but apart from that everything was just delicious and you have your own small pot of gravy as well. The service, staff and atmosphere is amazing and booking in advance is highly recommended. There is no parking assigned to this place but there is ample in and around the area so that wont be an issue. They have tables and seating out the front and a small courtyard out the back. The ONLY real negative and this is a comment for management to look into, is how some individuals who stand at the bar area are able to carry on vaping? We noticed one person every now again take a puff from his vape, and just carry on, as if it was perfectly normal. The pub has areas front and back outside to do that, and it should never happen inside, especially at the small bar area right next to where customers are eating. Anyway that being said we had a really brilliant time and the pub is always so well supported. Thank you.

What a lovely change to go to a traditional pub where you can have a simple drink and a sandwich, not something with added foam . Simple public house with excellent staff, well kept beer and a varied menu that was able to cater to those of us who are not after a full meal. Will certainly return

I took a large group of friends here for an evening and because they have a small kitchen, we pre-ordered. We could not fault the service and the quality of the food. Everything was perfect in every way and full marks to the manager, staff ,who were warm and courteous, and to the chef, and everyone involved in running this superb pub.
