Lord Nelson pub is just a short walk from the town centre in the affluent market town of High Barnet. Known for its 825-year-old market and excellent transport links via the Northern Line, High Barnet offers the perfect blend of suburban charm and urban convenience.

The Lord Nelson is historically a big seller of Cask Ales, making it an ideal destination for beer enthusiasts. The pub features an open-plan trading area with a nautical theme that adds to its unique character and appeal.

The pub boasts a charming courtyard area with 30 covers, perfect for al fresco dining and socialising. The front of the pub also offers an additional 10 covers, providing ample space for guests to enjoy their pints and light bites.

While the Lord Nelson pub is primarily wet led, the small trade kitchen presents an opportunity to offer a simple yet delicious food menu to attract more guests.
