The Old Customs House, Nelson

Had a delightful lunch there. Awesome staff, went out of their way to keep everyone happy. Sat outside and enjoyed the sun while eating delicious chips with truffle mayonnaise, cesar's salad and tasty tomatoes from Isle of Wight.

It's a really nice place to spend some time. Food is creative pub grub. Definitely recommend the chorizo scotch egg. Service was very good. Good selection of ales and all the other usual suspects. Something for everyone. Very dog friendly.

This is a splendid place to stop for a bite to eat, or a drink. An historic building that played a major part in the history of the area; it has been very sensitively restored. There are lots of interesting facts, pictures, drawings that adorn the walls and these help to provide some continuity with its heritage. The seats and tables all offer a sense of comfort and charm, whilst still maintaining a sense of hygiene. It might be thought that the smaller rooms would make it feel a bit cramped, but I felt that it was more cosy, with a sense of privacy. They offer some very interesting local ales, as well as a few more modern drinks. The food is superb, with a pretty good range to choose from. It's just a few steps from the car park under the shopping area, and the walkway in front of the building also helps to provide a slightly older style ambiance in keeping with the overall affect. I noticed that they are sympathetic to dogs and young children.
