Nelson’s New
Favourite Pub.
Just as Frances (Fanny) Nelson weathered life’s storms with quiet strength, so too has our coastal town—perched between mountains and sea, full of natural beauty and enduring character. While Nelson may carry Admiral Nelson’s name, it’s the spirit of resilience, creativity, and community that truly defines us. This region is home to a thriving population of artisans, makers, and dreamers—people who, like Fanny, shape their world with care, conviction, and authenticity. Our pub stands as a celebration of that same tenacity and talent, poured into every pint, plate, and painted wall.
