Chorley, Burntwood, Staffordshire:
We wanted to take our neighbours out for food and drinks, and The Nelson fitted the bill nicely: above average pub food, decent parking, a country pub atmosphere. It’s just outside Burntwood, but the suburban sprawl drops away quickly and it feels like a proper country pub.
It’s quite food-biased, though there are places to just drink. Food was very good, beer was apparently good, and there was a decent choice of alcohol-free too. Pleasant staff, and decent prices- it’s not bargain basement pub food, but it’s good value.
