Very nice atmosphere, good food, but would have like parsnip cooked more and roasted as flavor is much better. Service very good and friendly thank you Ella. Brendan & Isobel

Great service and tasty, original dishes. We had a lovely evening there entertaining visiting friends with 2 children. We arrived early and left late; there was no pressure to leave even though it was a Saturday.

Nice pub, good atmosphere but was no vegetarian option for the roast and the suggested alternative was just potatoes, veg and gravy. Service was good but staff seemed quite stretched

Amazing food, but it was a shame that the kitchen closed before we managed to order dessert (having said that we were 20 mins late, so probably our own fault)!.

Perhaps it was the last night for the 50% voucher scheme or more improbably the football which made it a very bustling and crowded evening! The food was reasonable without being exceptional. The whitebait starter left a rather unsavoury aftertaste lasting until morning and the mushy peas with the beer battered cod were rather too iridescent and lacking in taste. Personally I did not enjoy the food as much as at The Avalon and wished that I had tried The Rosendale instead.

Food was delicious, although the fish a little dry (good quality, a little too long on the fire). Perfect place to be. A typical British pub with better than averse food.

Usually I love this place but the food was average and the staff were not as friendly as usual. I would probably only come back in the evening, lunch was a bit disappointing.

Good food and drink and atmos. Too much Muzak as has table under speakers. I like the battered cod but why not offer mushy peas proper and not the pointless more difficult to make, mashed ordinary peas.

Wouldn't go back for the roast dinner, normally food is great, tasted like a ready meal. Service was OK, waitress took complaint and offered a free dessert, which was OK, a power tool would have been good though to cut the biscuit base on the banoffe!

Cosy neighbourhood gastro with nice mixed crowd. Excellent food. Sunday roast is top class. Good service. Decent value. Wine list has good options by the glass or carafe. Lots of nooks and crannies so it feels private even when it's buzzy.

The Abbeville food is usually great, however on this occasion it was quite good. The burgers are always good and they didn't disappoint. However we had to send one starter back of chicken liver pate as that wasn't up to par & the ribs were extremely salty. The service was efficient & helpful.

Amazing food, good service and lovely atmosphere with the warm fire, although they had no ice cream due to freezer issues so the dessert menu was somewhat limited as a result. The menu is somewhat expensive for what it is though and had I not had a 50% voucher, I probably would not have gone on this occasion. Having said that, I do think that it is great that the whole 'three cheers' chain offered 50% off vouchers for January at their pubs.

Lovely pub but quite rammed in at the back for dinner. Sunday dinner was yummy too. They welcomed my dogs which was lovely and gave them a bowl of water, but I had booked asking for more room for them and instead ended up packed between quite a few tables and a gangway having to move the dogs every time a waiter picked up some dinners.

Dark and dingy and very pokey. Also when we arrived the gas was not working so could only have a roast of fish and chips. Would have been nice if we had been telephoned before we arrived and told this. We decided not to stay as this was a birthday meal for our son and felt anything but special. Very disappointed

Main courses were all great, dessert was poor (the gateau was like mousse) and the service, very lacklustre and our server looked downright miserable. So, it was OK, but won't go back.

Had sirloin steaks which weren't very good, rather stringy and fatty. Think maybe they've changed their suppliers as they were always very good in the past. Service was excellent.

A great Sunday lunch venue, always feel relaxed and not under pressure to get in, eat and get out like some places. Food is always good quality....although would like more parsnips with my roast!
