The Nelson Inn in Lichfield

The Nelson Inn is a true gem! The food is consistently first-class, offering high-quality dishes at very reasonable prices. The service is impeccable, with staff who are friendly, attentive, and professional. The ambience is equally excellent, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes every visit memorable. Whether you're stopping by for a casual meal or a special occasion, The Nelson Inn delivers on all fronts. It's well worth a visit and is sure to leave you planning your next trip back. Highly recommended!

Sadly since changing the butcher the meat is quite tough

Visited today with my wheelchair bound mom and my husband. We had the festive menu which was beautiful. We will definitely be back. A big shout out to Mia she was so friendly and helpful. Thank you.

Having to wait for 1 hour before food came

We were a party of 4 on a very busy Saturday evening. The restaurant seemed to be at full capacity. Hence, service was extended otherwise food quality was good but will ensure we avoid such busy times in future.

Absolutely wonderful time Food amazing too

Great meal for my birthday 🎂 Had the mixed grill which was perfectly cooked and big enough to satisfy 😋

Fantastic evening for all four of us. Nice warm and light dining room with a good atmosphere. Friendly helpful staff and the food was some of the best we have had in a long time. Not cheap but not over priced at all. Would definitely recommend eating here.

Nice pub smart and well presented did not eat,Mind you looks like a good menu. The food i saw being take to tables looked good. Bar looks well stocked. Friendly nice atmosphere. A pub you'll like..

First time visiting the Nelson inn, looking forward to another visit in the near future. Pleasantly surprised, chilled atmosphere. Superb food with good waiter service and reasonable prices. Overall very nice dining experience

Delicious home cooked food and wonderful service. We could not fault our evening. Thank you. We will definitely recommend and will return again very soon.

Another fantastic meal tonight, tried the fixed price menu this time, couldn’t fault it, top class!!!!

Been to the Nelson many times always had great service and food never left a review had the sea bass lunchtime excellent value Great presentation hot plate hot food keep the good work up thanks

Excellent meal, excellent service. Took the wrinklies out and a lunch time menu at a slightly cheaper rate would have appealed to them more. That's a suggestion not a critism

Enjoyable evening. Meal & staff was great.

Great food, great service as always.

Travelled 2.5 hours to meet friends for Sunday lunch. It was brilliant and worth it. Thank you.

Just want to say thank you to the lovely staff at The Nelson, they accommodated my mother in law with her special requests and even put candles on the birthday cake I'd provided because I had forgotten! The food was great too, we all had a really lovely evening 😊

Refound the pub after many years of no visiting, Visited twice in a week and both times, service was great and so was the food. I won't leave it as long again.

Bit out of the way but definitely worth the trip

Great food and good menu selection highly recommend

Went tonight for the 1st time I was recommended by 1 of their ex staff Mitch Can honestly say that it was one of the best mixed grills I have had in a long time all the meats were cooked to perfection. Many thanks

Everything was great the staff are very pleasant and helpful and the food was absolutely delicious. The portions were large, so after a starter and main, we couldn't fit anymore in. My two friends were so impressed that they are planning their next visit. I would highly recommend a try, you won't be disappointed.

Always really lovely food at the Nelson - a go to for a special occasion or a treat!

Great ingredients cooked well. The restaurant was full on a Saturday evening and all the food coming out of the kitchen looked wonderful. The service was attentive and we worked our way through three courses in 90 mins. The fillet steak was cooked beautifully. The atmosphere was bustling and the only slight negative is that you can hear music from the bar area a little. We would highly recommend and will be returning soon.

I go to the nelson often and cant complain about the exellent food,I went with my family on sunday 8th sept and had sunday roast for the first and last time,food was barely warm had to ask twice for mint sauce and vedges came late and not with the roast dinner,by the time i had finished i was eating cold food,why oh why didnt i ask them to microwave roast for 1 minute,

Been almost 35 years since my last visit. Excellent food, decent beer. Recommended.

Perfect country pub, very friendly with great staff, comfortable surroundings, and a large beer garden, which is perfect in the summer. Definitely recommend this pub for a drink or a meal. It's rare that you will be disappointed.

Great country pub. Excellent portion sizes!

Fabulous Sunday lunch in the restaurant to celebrate a family birthday. Staff are courteous and friendly and the food was delicious. Everything is served at a leisurely pace so you don't feel rushed. As we walked back to the car park (ample parking) we could see that the beer garden was very busy. The atmosphere here is just wonderful. It is one of our favourite places to eat!

Good quality food, ordered steak medium came very rare however

A beautiful country pub with a lovely big beer garden. Immaculate decoration inside. Attentive service and great food. Big portions, too.

Went on Sunday afternoon Nice setting good quality food and very efficient service Well worth a visit will definitely be going again

Good pub grub, reasonable prices (for 2024) and friendly and efficient service.

My son and I took my young grandsons and they loved the play area. Lovely that you have a child's menu. We sat outside to eat our lovely food. Attentive staff. Thank you

We called on the off-chance on a Tuesday night, that there would be a table available. We were lucky, although the dining room was really busy they found us a table. The clientele was mainly diners who had been before - obviously happy. The staff were really lovely, very helpful and knowledgeable about my dietary needs. (Coeliac - gluten free). I was very impressed with the unequalled choice of gluten free sweets and a designated menu. Prices were on a par with most places nowadays but there was a range of prices on the menu. We booked again to take some friends.

A great place to go, service was bang on, and the food was amazing. I would recommend it to anyone. Plus, it's a good little play area in the beer garden.

Keep coming back to this place as service, atmosphere and food are always great and the prices reasonable. ---------------------------- Again the food and service was spot on. Would recommend The Nelson Inn to anyone. 3 years later and my 2nd visit, food and service still great. Must go back sooner. ---------------------------- My first time here and I'm certainly glad I found this place. Went for a late lunch and it was nice and quiet. Had a warm welcome and shown to our table. Had starters and main and when they arrived they were hot and tasted delicious. Probably one of the best meals I've had out for a while. Decent prices and good size portions of great tasting food. Will most definitely be going back again.

Nice place. It seemed popular and was busy when we visited. The food was great. My steak was well cooked, they weren't afraid to cook it nicely rare. Personally, I could have lived without the dance music in the dining room.

lovely meal here for our wedding anniversary service and food was superb

Food was gorgeous, 4 different dishes all cooked perfectly and served together

Lovely food and staff. Great garden

Fantastic meal tonight. Food very tasty and cooked to perfection. Great service from the staff too. I can fully recommend this amazing country pub & restaurant.

Really lovely place for food and atmosphere

We can not complain about the meal or service it was both needing a 10*.. I've been several times and I can't wait to go again. I booked it for my husband to come with me for our 20th wedding anniversary. Unfortunately this is the only complaint I have, my husband complained to me about the disgusting filthy state of the men's toilets.. How shabby and dirty they were. I must say the ladies ones weren't that bad.. Maked up as a 4*=men's & 6*= ladies. We still had a beautiful evening... And will go again definitely.. Can't wait to book for Christmas 🎄🎉

We held my nan’s Wake at the Nelson yesterday and can’t recommend enough! They were so attentive and caring - the food was incredible and the drinks came quick. A beautiful place with amazing staff; everyone was so welcoming and it really helped the day flow nicely

A really nice experience in a real English pub where the food was good and the service first class. The restaurant's specialty was that it had a large green area where children could play soccer or do other pleasant outdoor activities. Very good atmosphere all the time.

There is plenty of parking. Didn't have to wait for the table. Advise you either ring up or book online thought. The food was exceptional. Plenty of it. Maybe not traditional e.g prawn cocktails you would normally get a rose Marie sauce. Not here.

Love this pub many happy memories there xx Lovely staff and food xxx worth a visit

Great country garden, family friendly, lovely atmosphere, nice staff and delicious food. Only downside was we had to wait a long time for our food to arrive, but other than that no complaints and I’ll definitely return.

Been coming here longer than I can remember and it's amazing. If I could leave more stars I would. Our favourite place to eat.

Excellent service and great food!

Great find will definitely go back . I'm in the restaurant game and it takes a lot to impress me .....I was very impressed 😁

1st time at the Nelson, really great food and service, Thank You.

Lovely food and great service we will definitely be going again

Met a group of friends. Had a lovely meal. The choice on the menu was good. Highly recommend a visit 👌

Fabulous Sunday lunch. Food excellent, staff friendly & efficient & good value. Highly recommend

Food very good atmosphere fine servies fine

My 1st time here but with out any doubt I will go back lovely place and food excellent

Sad occasion as it was a wake. Lovely buffet and kind efficient staff

Lovely friendly place and a great Sunday dinner. It was a little difficult to attract staff attention, but everyone was very friendly and service was quick.

Had a fabulous afternoon today for my sisters birthday Food was amazing service was spectacular Thank you for a great afternoon would highly recommend 👍👍👍

Absolutely gorgeous food and lovely staff but there were only a few tables in and it took quite a long time to get our meals. We were seated at 7:45 and ordered, and meals didn't arrive until 8:45.

What an absolute gem of a place. Staff were fantastic and food excellent. We’ll be back for sure.

Busy Sunday, side dishes didn't arrive and veg for 3 adults arrived in a tiny bowl, other tables had a large bowl to share. We presumed we would get a further 2 tiny bowls for the remaining adults..but no. Mentioned it to the waitress who just said sorry about that. £79.80 Bill, you expect better.

We have been to The Nelson quite a few times now and the food there is really good. We've had quite a few different things from there, but I haven't got pictures of everything.. here's some I do have and at the end are some other things we've had from there. If you're after a nice lunch/dinner out at a cute country pub with a good atmosphere & yummy food, then this is definitely one to try! Food is delicious, they do lovely cocktails, service is good & not too expensive either 👌 The Sunday roast is also delicious 🤤 There is a separate bar to the restaurant which has a good choice of drinks and the beer garden is lovely in the summer, which also has a play area for the kids! Plenty of on-site parking here too, just be careful coming down the narrow lanes to get here.

Another fabulous meal at the Nelson for Valentines Day. Never disappoints- highly recommended

Chosen as a halfway meeting point for a very special family occasion. So pleased with our choice, lovely food staff and environment. Thank you everyone.

First time visit excellent food service and atmosphere staff are very polite and friendly and helpful highly recommend a visit

A very nice 'up market' pub with a good menu and excellent food to take your family and friends. With a very warm, friendly welcome by the staff. We will definitely be back!

Fabulous food an staff very welcoming definitely going back

Great food in a clean nicely decorated pub with great staff

Staff and service excellent best place round burntwood

We couldn't have asked for a better experience. It's absolutely perfect.

Visited with a group of friends. Had the Christmas menu 3 courses £30 no disappointment there..Ham & pea terrine, rib of beef and assorted veg, beef fell apart. followed by cheesecake..All absolutely delicious will certainly be returning..

Friendly, clean and amazing venue, great outside area with plenty of parking, service is always excellent

cawarden Christmas party , food was amazing, food was fantastic and the service was out of this world well done to all the team from cawarden will be booking next year!!!

Great place.... lovely food good service even when busy...proper nice place👏

What fantastic venue with great food from start to finish. Atmosphere was great with the old and new well mixed together to make a perfect meeting place for family and friends. Went again today and had fish and chips it was a whale on a plate fantastic food again well done 👏

Always love this place, brilliant food super clean and brilliant service, ticks all the boxes

Had a lovely birthday lunch at The Nelson Inn in Burntwood this afternoon. Proper classic high quality comfort pub grub. Hearty meals that tasted really really good. What we ordered, with ticks next to our favourite dishes: • French onion soup ✅ • Baked goats cheese ✅ • Mushroom parfadelle • Fish and Chips ✅ • Apple Pie and Custard ✅ • Strawberry and prosecco roulade Very happy with the food and service here, definitely will be returning to try more comforting meals.

A busy evening but nevertheless the food was very good and the young staff coped well with a friendly word and a smile. A very pleasant evening.

I make this venue a def “go to” each week now. Food is excellent, especially the steaks and grills. Trying the Tapas next week! The staff are always warm and friendly and on point. Smiley faces is what we like!! 😊 well done again guys, been along today and it’s as good as it always is. Thank you 🙏🏼 👏🏼🙌🏼

A wonderful place to eat. Kind and helpful staff with excellent food.

Fab place, had the seabass, French onion soup & malted milk & irish cream torte it was the best meal I'd had for ages 😋 definitely want to go back 😀 ❤️

Lovely place for a Sunday lunch. Nice atmosphere. Cosy.

Can't recommend this place enough , was here with a table of 6 and the service and food was great.

Excellent pub with great outdoors area. Play area and field for ball games for the kids. Food is great quality, huge portions and fair price. Great place for a meal in the sun.

We visited The Nelson on Saturday and had a great three course meal. We have visited a few times previously but sat in the bar, this was the first time in the restaurant. The food was amazing with generous portion sizes. Especially the fish and chips, which is always a whale! Looking forward to visiting again!

Excellent food. Went on a Thursday lunchtime, me and my friends were not rushed and my vegetable, five been enchiladas were just utterly fabulous.

Fantastic food but the large portions beat me!

Vanessa King writing this.... Disappointing first and probably last visit. It was my husband's birthday. When we were asked how the meals had been, I advised my chicken was dry and the potatoes and pepper sauce all a bit claggy, not very pleasant... the member of staff casually apologised but didn't seem interested. The service was ok but not exceptional. The lighting was very very bright throughout the dining area. More subtle lighting would be much more comfortable for evening dining. Not a great experience 😕....

Absolutely fabulous. Took my mum she loved it too. I had steak pie and chips. Mum had fish and chips. Both excellent Highly Recommended

My husband booked us in for dinner in 29th September and I can only rave about this place since. I had the best steak I’ve ever had in a restaurant in the UK - perfectly cooked to my liking and my husband had the pork. The service was fantastic and service was great. They couldn’t do enough for you. Will definitely be our go to place for meals out from now on and we’ll be taking family there whenever we go out. The atmosphere was fantastic too. Can’t recommend this place enough. Thanks Ed and I want to take the chef home 😊

Always excellent food and service.

Fantastic country pub for functions and for an everyday visit. Fantastic food and an excellent Choice of drinks from spirits to beers. I thoroughly recommend a visit here !

Steak was out of this world Went for steak night steak was banging only down side no gin on the steak offer!!

Best meal out I’ve had in years. I don’t particularly enjoy eating out as most of the time I’m disappointed by meals I can make at home myself that are much tastier. The Nelson Inn though was a very pleasant surprise. Very tasty, obviously made with excellent ingredients and served at the correct hot temperature. Superb staff and good ales. Not cheap but week worth the price. Every meal our table had was off the same quality and superb taste. Well done The Nelson.

There were 4 of us having a meal ....no issues al 4 meals were very nice 👌

Excellent food, thoroughly enjoyed our meal, and lovely staff.
