The pub is situated close to the seafront, the Sailor's Reading Room museum and the town centre. The pub has a flagstone floor with an open fire in winter months and is decorated throughout with naval and seafaring memorabilia. The large central bar offers a good range of Adnams beers. Children are welcome in the side room and patio garden to the rear. Food is now from a pizza franchise.
Historic Interest
A report in the Ipswich Journal on 26 Oct 1869 states that: The licensed Vctuallers Tea Association advertised the sale of tea via its Suffolk Agents. This was a response to the irregular sale of Wine by Grocers & included a reference to H. LAWRENCE of the Lord Nelson, Southwold. A paperback book published in 1969, called "Inns of the Suffolk Coast" by Leonard P Thompson claims that for many years, it was called the Raven.
This Pub serves 1 changing beer and 4 regular beers.
Lord Nelson, Southwold
