I went here for a coffee. The staff seemed annoyed that I wanted to sit in, without ordering food. There were loads of tables available and I sat down at a table with 4 chairs. I was alone, and the staff suddenly charged over to me telling me to move because they might get 4 customers who wanted to sit at that table. I looked around the room and could see at least three other 4 person tables, but fair enough, I moved to a table of 2.

It made me feel like they don't value customers and I didn't feel welcome at all. I only went there because I had half an hour to kill, before an interview across the road. I'd never go again.

Great place for a hearty lunch! Nelsons of Borough is ideal for a meal that will satisfy the biggest hunger. The hot ciabattas and rolls that cover many different meaty and veggie options are the main focus, with decent coffee served too. 

The staff are always friendly and you will inevitably have to join the queue that snakes out of the door of a lunchtime. If you really want a treat or you are massively overhung after a night out, go for the Monte Bianco Deluxe. It cures all ills.

I've often lunched at Nelson's on a break from recording at a studio a few minutes walk away, and if I'm ever going to be a regular somewhere this sort of down to earth, hearty place is right up my street.


 As a vegan I'm well catered for with the spaghetti in garlic and olive oil, or if I'm feeling spicy the spaghetti alla arrabiata. Both have been absolutely delicious every single time, and as I always go there with a friendly colleague there's no danger of being judged for finishing the seasoned oil off at the end with a spoon. It's too tasty to leave behind!


 For sit down pasta I pay around £6 but it's even cheaper to take away, and for a lighter lunch they serve all sorts of sandwiches too. I haven't given the pizza a go yet but they're a good size and look like great quality. Appearances can be misleading, and it would be easy to assume Nelson's is just another sandwich bar, but there's plenty of space inside to enjoy a tasty sit down meal served by real Italian staff and the food they send out of the kitchen is top notch.

Really good place for sandwiches, and great pasta plus they do my fav Alfredo pasta love the place for lunch and some coffee with a place to smoke outside. Superb place with great food and good prices.
