The Nelson Country Inn & Restaurant
We are a traditional family run pub restaurant set in the beautiful village of Brightwell Baldwin, as featured in Mid summer Murders. The Nelson is a warm and welcoming destination for any event, from a quick drink after work, a light lunch from our set lunch menu, dinner with friends or entertaining business clients.

We are located half way between the river side town of Wallingford and the quaint village of Watlington, only 20 minus from Henley on Thames, and Oxford city centre. Whether you fancy a gentle stroll around the countryside, or a planned pub walk the surrounding areas of Brightwell Baldwin and Watlington offer beautiful views and stunning walks.
Services
Our menus are seasonally changed, with daily special board, offering our chefs recommendations. In the winter months you can enjoy game from the local shoot and in the summer months we run our famous Crab and Lobster festival. Traditional Sunday lunch, with Roast beef and always one other roast, plus our full menu.

Decided quite late today to visit The Nelson for lunch. This is the first time we have eaten here since lockdown. We had a lovely time sitting in the garden in the sunshine and thoroughly enjoyed a three course meal including a delicious seafood platter! Thank you 😊
