If you're not into big screen football it's sometimes a frustrating task to have a relaxing weekend pint in Barnet. However, if you're prepared to venture a little off the beaten path, the Lord Nelson is not only usually football free but a visual treat. Tucked away behind an anonymous looking main road, it was quite a surprise to find such a lovely pub, its interior appropriately festooned with anything vaguely nautical or watery - barometers, paintings of ships - even bath taps on the mantelpiece. Two beautiful model boats sit in front of a large stained glass window alongside fresh flowers, whilst a scattering of Tiffany lamps create a warm, glowing atmosphere. There's no sideways glances when you come here (well, apart from the pub's menagerie of dogs and cats) - just relaxed regulars and pleasant service. Along with three or four well-kept ales, you'll find some great food, freshly prepared by the landlady herself. Certainly the best pub in Barnet by a long way, we just wish the welcome from the landlord was a little more friendly, which is the only thing that lets the Lord Nelson down.

How to find the Lord Nelson pub

From High Barnet tube, either catch one of the buses or walk up the hill and take the left hand fork when you reach Barnet Church onto Wood Street. Walk down for a few minutes and just passed the mini-roundabout turn left onto Bells Hill. The pub is one minute down on the right.

Landlord information

Overview

There is a small error in the opening text. There is no Landlord at The Lord Nelson, there is a Landlady and there was a grumpy barman but he is here no longer.
