The best place to eat and drink in Southwold - surprising that all the other pubs are half empty - everybody seems to migrate to the 'Nellie' - warm welcome always assured More

Southwold is a delightful place. One of the attractions for me is the Lord Nelson pub, tucked away in a side street but close to the sea. The place is usually very busy, so be prepared for a crowded bar. The grub is plain but delicious, sensibly priced. The atmosphere late in the evening is to be savoured - and... More

This is our favourite pub in Southwold. Good beer, good food, good atmosphere. And an excellent roaring fire in winter time. More

This was a very inviting, friendly pub with a surprisingly large range of food on the menu. Meals were delicious as ingredients were clearly fresh, especially the fish. Staff were polite and helpful and would recommend going in for an ale at least if you were passing by. More
