About The Admiral Nelson

Situated adjacent to Lock No. 3 in Braunston, The Admiral Nelson is the quintessential canalside pub. Offering a range of real ales & freshly prepared food

The Admiral Nelson Description

The Admiral Nelson is now a privately owned and family run canal side pub, on the boarders of Northamptonshire and Warwickshire, situated on the grand union canal in the quaint village of Braunston.

Enjoy a warm welcome, traditional home cooked food using locally sourced ingredients, well-kept real ales and an extensive selection of fine wines.

You can sit out by the canal in the summer months, watching the boats and the world go by or cosy up in the winter next to the roaring open fire with a glass of mulled wine or two!

Went for a Sunday roast for my husbands birthday today and we had just the best meal. We both had the beef brisket which was melt in the mouth and I'm not a massive meat lover. My kids are incredibly fussy and the staff went out of there way to make sure they were happy. So friendly and a lovely atmosphere. Such great value for money too. Highly recommend a visit! We can't wait to go back ’┐Į

We spent a lovely lunch time at the Admiral Nelson, on a very hot August Bank Holiday Monday... (yes I know.. they are rare!). Even though it was really busy it didn't take long to be served at the bar for drinks and food and the food was lovely. There was a nice view of the canal and lock and we will definitely be back.

User

We had a nice beef roast, really enjoyed it!



Very well presented and great taste

Perfect place to eat drink and relax by the water. Have been twice and both time's food has been fantastic . . Cannot wait to visit again. ’┐Į

User

Nice to see a busy pub! Good service. Food was nice, not often seen a fish finger sandwich on a pub lunch menu. Choice of 3 red wines by the glass which is worse than some pubs but better than others. This visit was by road but previous visit was by boat. Moorings nearby.

User

Myself and my husband had a stunning meal here for my 35th birthday, the food was beautiful and the service excellent. The portions were great and we felt utterly stuffed and spoilt at the end of our meal xx would definitely recommend this stunning venue for any celebration ’┐Į

User

My husband and i shared a lovely gammon ham sandwich for lunch served with homemade coleslaw and best chips ever ordered as a side. Great place to sit by canal in the sunshine.

User

Overall good ambiance, drink selection and excellent service from two very cheerful young ladies. We had a snack by have two starters from the menu. Beetroot and Stilton salad and scallop salad. Both tasty but a very small portion for ┬Ż8 each. I will say they did provide an extra salad which they didn't charge us for.



A note to my fellow walkers, please take your wets off before sitting, our seat was wet !

User

Had a great lunch time meal. Such terrific food and to feel welcome, thanks guys!

User

Lovely setting, but my god the prices have sky-rocketted!! ┬Ż14 for ham, egg and chips is taking the mick! Unless of course they're Golden Goose eggs!
