I really like this place on a Monday afternoon. Quiet, relaxed, friendly staff, great food and a good selection of beer on draft/tap. The bangers and mash (comes with pease) and a couple of pints will run you £16, but is easily worth £20 or more. The Monday crowd has been light on the two occasions I've been and is perfect for me to sit and write. The space is cozy, but not crowded. And is replete with tables, benches, and bar stools.

A friendly, local pub that retains the character of an old school persona without looking tired or dated. It’s difficult to ask for more than reasonably priced drinks, well cared for beers, friendly staff and locals who will have a chat with you while you’re there. Live music every Sunday afternoon is a throwback that everyone else seems to have lost. Yet the size of the crowd that attends it shows how much people appreciate it still.

Pub with good home cooked food behind the Main Street in St Ives, Cambs. We had whitebait starters which was a good size portion for a starter and homemade venison casserole with buttered mash and veg, both very good. Staff very nice. It was quiet on our visit at lunch time on a Monday but does get busy. Definitely go back again....👍🏻

Great little pub with beer garden in the back. It's a busy pub on a Friday night and weekends which I'm actually happy to say is a good thing. I'm glad traditional pubs like this are still keeping above board. Traditional decor inside as well as that cosy pub feeling. Good range of ales and other drinks and competitive prices given the position of the pub around other competition. Cant comment on food as haven't eaten here yet, but I'm sure all is well in...

Fantastic! I don't get to come here often ( and I'm only a 5 minute walk away) but when I do, I love it. If, like me, you enjoy listening to a live band and of a mature age ( I'm 58 ) then this is the place to come. You will not be out of place as the majority punters are of the mature age. It's a friendly pub with a fantastic atmosphere. Live music is twice weekly Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoon. Bar staff are friendly....

My family and I had a fantastic time at the Nelsons Head. We loved the DJ who played a great mix of 80s tunes—it really set the mood and got people on the dance floor. The service was excellent; the bar staff were very polite and fast. The prices were reasonable, which is always a plus. The only letdown was the cleanliness—the tables felt a bit sticky and the men's bathrooms had a noticeable odor. Despite that, it was a really...
