Old Nelson Brewers Fayre — Restaurant in Stroud

Booked a table during tier 2, so didn't know what to expect. First off there's scaffolding inside the restaurant "holding up the roof" (I was told this by the waitress) which is a bit weird lol Never been to a restaurant with scaffolding inside before :/ We wanted to stay there a while and share a few glasses of wine, so didn't eat our mains very fast, as we were told once we has finished our food we need to leave, as we can't order anymore drinks. But after the second glass we were told we had to finish the rest of our food on our plates and order more food if we wanted another glass of wine... I understand their trying to conform to the crazy covid laws, but we weren't told that there was a 1-2 drink limit until they refused drinks, unless we bought more food off them :/ I would have felt better if there was something on the website or the menu, or even told that we would have to order more food (even though we still had food on the table) to order wine. Crazy times.... anyways, the food was ok. 3/5 for food and service was good. Won't be going back anytime soon, or anywhere else if that's the same...

Don't usually write negative reviews but was less than happy last night and will not visit again. Was very quiet and 3 members of staff were on shift. We were not greeted by the blonde waitress, she was talking so we found a seat and that's where all her hospitality ended. She didn't check in on us, so had to ask for a kids menu. The man at the bar was the most helpful but he was at the end of the shift. When it came to desserts, 30 mins and tbey didn't come, waitress was too busy putting out cutlery in a quiet restaurant, so we went. We were offered a refund for the desserts when I asked if they were coming. But not one smile from either waitress or even a friendly manner. Food was what you'd expect for the price, my daughter didn't like her her pizza, so didn't eat it, was later sick at night. Not sure if this was related or not. Customer service and a Christmas spirit was truly missing here and...

The old nelson is set in what was a boys school at one time.. It is very clean and spacious inside. It is mainly an eating establishment as no real area to sit just for drinks tho on a sunny day there is a large beer garden. Fairly large car park with an overspill at the back which is also for hotel parking. Food is average more somewhere you go to save cooking of an evening. But can accommodate large parties so great for cheap family get together. Very good Sunday carvery tho. Mon-Fri before 6pm 2 for 8.99 selected meal menu.
