The host cancelled our bookings as she thought it was a mistake, when she relised it wasn't was very accommodating and found us two tables to squeeze us in on, however. The atmosphere is nice, and all the staff are great; however, the food is very average. I would go back for a drink but wouldn't eat again.

We went for my brother's birthday -it was wonderful food with a great range of choices on the menu, fab service and the staff were really lovely. Also helped by the fact that I've recently moved into the local area, so I'll be back for more soon!

Food and service were amazing as always. You cant really pick on who is sitting at the table next to you. We were celebrating double, just the the two of us at 10pm, fri night- the table next to us was crying. Spoiled our experience but its not down to the pub owners or staff as they were amazing...its just sad that people who can't handle their drink, drink regardless...one thing for the owners... you used to do a complimentary glass of prosecco...not sure whether that was a regular thing or pick and choose. We love your food and service,we have been visiting since 2009 but please can you enhance that experience by being extra special to your old customers? Old customer since 2009

Staff were excellent. Gave us a lovely table as I'd friends visiting from Canada and it was a wonderful time to catch up. Loving the new (for me I've not been in a while) menu. The food has a Moroccan edge whilst still having the Gastropub highlights like fancy burgers and Fish and Chips. Loved the veggie and vegan food. Will be back again. Been coming since I moved to London in 2006 and it's a special spot with a lovely atmosphere. Thanks to the amazing staff and the great chefs.

The vibe of the pub is nice, very cute and cosy. We liked the Yorkshire and most of the veg but the chicken and potatoes weren't great. Potatoes were underdone and not crispy.

A gorgeous, tasty Sunday lunch. Six of us met with a variety of dietary preferences and The Abbeville catered perfectly for all of us. Really scrummy food, great beers, excellent service. It is a quirky environment with a great buzz. Quite noisy, but this wasn't a problem. Would thoroughly recommend and we hope to return soon. Thanks to all the helpful staff.

We came for dinner a few weeks ago, and felt like we were completely ignored by the staff. Our first waitress took our order, and it took approximately 25 minutes for our starters and drinks to come - it is December, and the busiest part of the year for hospitality, so we didn't mind too much. However, after that it took staff at least 20 minutes from us finishing our starters to clear, and took over 45 minutes after being cleared for our mains to come out. When our mains finally came out, it seems like they delivered one of ours to a table next to us, as it was sent back and one of our party had to wait for his meal to come out - the same meal that was sent back from the table next to us. Tables surrounding us, who were all seated after us (and we were not a larger party than most of them, only a 4) received their meals and drinks before us. On top of this, it felt like staff ignored us - they avoided our eyes and barely came to the table. Our drinks order during our meal took far too long for the drinks to come - so long that the waitress, when dropping off the pint and asking if we wanted another one, said "the next one will come quicker" - no apology. There were no checkbacks by staff to see if our meals were okay, and when our mains were finally cleared (2 hours after we sat) the waitress said nothing - no "how was everything for you?", no "was everything okay?". When she came back over, there was, again, no checkback on anything, she just held up a dessert menu. We declined. There was no communication from staff to say that they were busy and it would be a wait - this would have been fine, it was the lack of communication and staff seeming to ignore us that made us feel unwanted there as diners. Having worked in hospitality for over a decade, I understand that December is a very busy period, and low staffing levels can make providing excellent service more difficult; however, a little communication to your customers goes a long way.
