Each week we let the chefs loose and create their own dish - this week is Kevin our head chef - we also have a cheeky bet between us who will sell the most.

These look absolutely banging. Kevin take a bow, I have a feeling you might be winning the beers šŸ˜‰

KIEREN MENSAH LIVE THIS SATURDAY - The Lord Nelson šŸŽøšŸ”„

Honestly don’t know what I’m more excited about—the insane blues guitar from Kieren Mensah or the launch of our fresh doughnuts šŸ© šŸ˜‰

He’s playing live at The Lord Nelson, Dover from 8:30pm till late.

Free entry, killer music, and fresh doughnuts.

Nailed it. See you down there! āš”ļø

So many questions about the new menu—it fully goes live this Friday!

We wanted something for The Nelson and The Nailbox with real story behind it. Simple, relaxed food that goes best with a pint and a laugh.

We’re working hard to get The Nelson back to being a great local pub—fresh food, great staff, and live music every weekend.

A quick teaser:

Pa amb tomĆ quet (Spanish Tomato Bread) – Takes me straight back to holidays in L’Estartit. Sat there proper sunburned as a kid, I’d eat so much of this for starter I could never finish my main

Lobster & Crayfish Rolls – I had these sitting on the beach at Morro Bay watching sea otters, eating these amazing rolls! We serve ours New England style.

Hot Donuts – Inspired by Sunday mornings down Folkestone market. We’ve tweaked ours and serve hot and fluffy with vanilla crĆ©me or white chocolate sauce.

(And yes, we spotted the menu typo—Iain is a total donut for spelling doughnuts wrong 🤣)

Couple of pictures below, more to follow

Drop us a message to book or just walk in and say hello 😊

Proud of our pub, proud of our town! šŸ»

Dover often gets an unfair wrap, but the truth is, from day one, the community has welcomed us with open arms. The local people have been nothing short of amazing!

This town is full of hard-working people and brilliant local businesses doing their best every single day. We have a great team who work their socks off day in and day out—thank you.

We won't let online comments knock us down. We’re proud to be here, proud to serve Dover, and so grateful to everyone who keeps coming through our doors.

See you at the bar for a pint! šŸŗā¤ļø
