About The Nelson

Getting in is straightforward — step-free access means you can push a buggy through the door without asking anyone to lift it, and high chairs are ready once you're settled. There's a kids' menu, so you're not negotiating over a side of chips, and gluten-free options if someone in the family needs them. It tends to be quiet rather than boisterous, which suits a baby napping in the pram but does mean a loud toddler will be heard. Booking ahead is worth it, and there's outdoor seating for warmer days.
