"The crispy prawn starters were pleasant; they didn't seem homemade, but they were tasty. The olives and bread came with a dipping oil that didn’t actually taste like olive oil—it was just a generic oil. Typically, such a dish would include balsamic or flavored oil, but this one tasted like sunflower oil. As for the main courses, the fish and chips were the best option. I chose the pan-fried sea bass served on a bed of baked baby potatoes, cherry tomatoes, and spinach. While the sea bass was nicely cooked, I would have preferred a little crispiness to the skin, but that’s just my personal taste. The mint salsa that accompanied it had large chunks of cold pepper, which didn’t enhance the dish. Also, what were labeled as “baked baby potatoes” were actually quartered potatoes. Some were served hot, while others were cold. I inquired if the potatoes were made in advance and reheated, and I was told they were "cooked fresh" for me. You can make your own judgment on whether they appeared freshly cooked; when I mentioned the temperature inconsistency, I was informed they might have been sitting under a heat lamp. There was no apology or alternative offered. If the potatoes had indeed been reheated, I would have understood; it's surprising they were labeled as freshly baked given the timing. My husband ordered a sirloin steak, which was mediocre—nothing special. Our child had a pizza from the kids' menu that was acceptable in size but just a cheap offering with minimal toppings. The kids shared a brownie, which they said was just okay. On the bright side, the decor is nice, particularly in the summer, but I wouldn’t return for the food. The staff were friendly, especially the young man who served us most of the evening, and drink orders were taken relatively quickly. As a frequent Google reviewer, I don't take leaving reviews like this lightly, but I always strive to be honest. If you’re a vendor at the fairground, this place might be convenient in relation to the showground, but you should expect nothing more than mediocre food.

"I recently visited The Man Nelson and was thoroughly impressed. The pub food was some of the best I've had in a long time. The mixed fish dish was not only delicious but also generous in portion size. The dessert was a delightful surprise—unique and cooked to perfection. On top of that, the service was cheerful, friendly, and timely. I honestly can't find a single fault with my experience!"

From the very first time we visited Herrn Nelson, we found the staff to be welcoming and friendly, and the food was excellent. When we decided to use the pub for our wedding reception, the team went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect—and it truly was! They even highlighted my family's favorite dishes on the menu and provided a full-service hot roast in the evening. We wouldn’t change a thing. I want to express my gratitude to the management and staff for making the best day of my life run so smoothly! I cannot recommend this pub enough for both everyday dining and special occasions.
