The Lord Nelson that i sometimes go to is in Urmston, Manchester. It is a lovely place and has a wonderful atmosphere. It is a Joseph Holts pub, and for those who have never had the chance to drink in a Joseph Holts pub, let me explain.
Joseph Holts is the best pint of bitter i have ever had, and ive drunk a few. Quite personally i think that the lager is awful, but then again i dont drink much larger, im bitter and ale man myself. Joseph Holts is its own brewery so in the pumps is its own beer. This is probably why it is so cheap. I cant write enough how good the bitter is. At first i was a bit reluctant to try the bitter as i didnt like the lager (i drank lager first). Once tasted ive never gone back.
Enough on the brewery and back onto the pub...
The pub inside is a traditional looking pub, with a huge carpeted lounge area, with many little snugs for the private conversation. There are many places to sit and drink.
The vault is where i usually sit. Here there is a tiled floor and leather type benches and stools to sit on. This is open plan with no little areas to hide away in.
Within the vault is a jukebox. This is £1 for 5 songs or 50p for a choice of 3 songs. There is a great range of all music in the juke box to cater for all tastes. This can be heard around the vault, but not to loud as to not hear your converstion.
The staff are brilliant and really helpful. They seem to ensure you enjoy your time in the Lord Nelson. The bar staff serve everyone as quickly and efficient as possible while maintaining 100% customer services. The tables and ash trays are always cleared away and kept on top of. There is nothing worse than trying to enjoy a pint and a chat, while ash trays are full, crisp packets are lying around and empty glasses are in the way. This is a great point to the Lord Nelson. They always clear the tables, ash trays and collect glasses regually.
I love my bar snacks when im in a pub. Here there is not only the usual 3 flavours of crisps and 2 types of nut. There is a greater selection. I always love the chilli flavoured nuts or BBQ flavoured mini chedders.
As usual for a local pub, last orders is at about quarter to 11pm and everyone must ensure drinks are finished.
There are plenty of taxis available around the area, just ask the staff for a number. After crawling out of the pub you can walk around the corner and purchase a burger/ kebab etc....
The only problem is, on hot days there is no place outside to sit and enjoy your drink.
This is a lovely pub with a lovely atmosphere. There are all types of people who come in here. As there is no dress code, you can wear whatever you wish and feel at home.
A smashing pub wich nice people.
