Great food and nice service, a little spoiled by at 10.15 as it seemed itvwas a quiet night piling the chairs onto tables, they should wait until diners have departed.
Good service and the food was fine. Good local pub.
What an amazing Sunday roast. The Yorkshire’s are huge, the beef delicious and the whole meal was fab. Good price too.
Great pub for London. Excellent menu with great pub classics. Food served promptly, hot and plentiful and served by a smiley, friendly waitress.
love the pub, food wasn't quite up to the usual standard (risotto in particular)
Great local pub, I "needed" a burger and it hit the spot.
Really disappointed with the squid ink linguine, but my friends who had the pie LOVED it. Great service and great atmosphere. Will be coming again just won't be ordering the pasta! lol
The restaurant and food are consistently good. My favourite local place to eat.
Food as good as expected and the bill was reasonable. Pity about the two young 20s female diners who thought they had to shout at the person facing them 2 feet away. Their conversation was not even mildly interesting. Overall a pub meal that we should repeat.
Very busy. Staff were great. Food was lovely and plentiful.
Excellent food, service and ambiance. Great evening we will be back!
Great food and great service as always, would highly recommend
Great staff very good service As always Will be back
Great food and a lovely buzzy atmosphere on a Sunday night.
Really good food and great service on a busy Sunday
Great atmosphere, service and food! An all round great evening.
They had run out of two of three roasts which they failed to tell us when we arrived so we wasted fifteen mins selecting them and then being told they didn’t have them. Then we were told they had also run out of cauliflower cheese and olives as we tried to order these... I know Sunday’s are busy but we booked for seven o’clock and many other table bookings came in after us -// maybe plan better on stock ordering? We had to wait a while for service. After all of this our dishes arrived (all the same because of what was left) and one plate didn’t have any green beans and we all had what looked like a quarter of a potato cut in two for roast potatoes. We asked for more and along came a small bowl (I think they were running low) for which we were charged £6! It was one potato chopped up tops... somebody finally came by the check after one of the table had already finished. Too late to start faffing. On thé rest of the menu we struggled. Loads of vegetarian/vegan offers and lots of fish - not much we honestly wanted to try. Shame as last time we visited it was a different experience. Either they struggle on busy days or it has gone a bit downhill.
Great food, great service. Highly recommend for a Sunday roast.
We had several options to weigh up for a Sunday roast - no.33 (on the same road), Knife and No.24 the Oval. We chose Abbeville. We were seated right beside the men’s loos, not long after that we realised the door would not stop swinging/squeaking. Then we noticed the bar attached to the restaurant was showing Sunday football and their bar was packed. With men. Imagine a never ending rotation of people going in/out the men’s loos. We thought about asking to move but by the time we discussed that the food was about to arrive so hurried up and figured would be more pain free just to eat and go. I did decide to flag to the woman who seated us that sitting next to the male loo door during Sunday football with a packed bar full of males should be reserved for walk ins or come with a warning. When the answer starts with ‘but’ and continues with ‘but’ that’s when you really have an issue ‘but you booked today and it was the only table’ ok but it should come with a warning ‘but the male loos are two doors back’ that’s irrelevant to the amount of people swinging the door back and forth on their way in/out. To conclude my thoughts on this ‘but I paid £55 for two people to have lunch but didn’t enjoy but you argued the point with me anyway’ just say you’re terribly sorry and would have happily moved us if we had flagged it, we hope you will be back in future for a more comfortable meal. Needless to say, despite being a local we won’t be back.
Great food, lovely location and quick service. Would recommend happily
Lovely staff, delicious food, wonderful wines. Thank you very much!
It was very noisy especially from the bar and stuff handling cutleries . Food was very dry, tasteless over cooked burger . Pudding was even worst sticky toffee brownie extremely sweet even the ice cream won’t help. Decently the worst pub food we have ever had .
Atmosphere is always busy. Staff are well trained. Food always consistent above average.
Lovely pub great staff, good food and wine choices - would go back again!!
Very pleasant experience. Group very happy with food and service. Live locally but thought just pub grub and never thought about coming will be regular from now on!!
Very enjoyable Sunday lunch. Child friendly and very good service.
Lovely local restaurant that we frequent. Food is always reliable and always friendly staff.
It looks like a small pub when you go in but the dining area winds round into lots of cosy tables, including a mezzanine (where we were). The food was delicious and the ambience lovely. Would recommend.
Not an extensive menu but it was Sunday with Sunday lunch options.
always enjoyed the pub but never knew the food was that good. it was nice to be able to try it with the 50% discount
A great experience. Interesting food, excellent service and wonderful atmosphere in a charming setting.
What should have been a quick dinner for two at our neighbourhood pub took two hours. Kitchen and front of house were woefully understaffed. Three servers for the entire restaurant (including drink mixing at the back bar) meant no sign of a waiter for ten minutes or more at a time. This was not our first experience with absent staff at The Abbeville. Food prices are generally quite reasonable; during summer with a half-price offer, they're a bargain. Be warned: you get what you pay for. Typically-inattentive service takes a turn for the worse.
The food was definitely not as good as it has been in the past and the service was incredibly slow.
Amazing pub and great Sunday lunch - really attentive staff
The food was tasteful and the place has just been remodeled with nice and cosy corners. The staff were really kind with children. Will come back soon!
The staff were friendly, accommodating and efficient. The food was lovely if a little on the pricey side (even though we were using a 50% off voucher) but the quality was great. The pub/restaurant itself was really nice and even though there was a large group/party in the restaurant too the noise levels were acceptable. Would definitely return!
Sophie was great. Food was great value and the venue was perfect
Perfect place for a great dinner. Delicious food and a great atmosphere
Sitting near kitchen meant repeated noisy cluttering of plates. In future would ask to sit somewhere else
The food was v disappointing. Our burgers (normally really big and juicy but are now thin and suspiciously uniformed) were bone dry, the blue cheese in mine was dog ends and not melted. My friends duck salad starter was so tiny we both burst out laughing when I was put down. They took it back when I pointed it out. We then heard the chef swearing and moaning about it. The puddings were good though.
Amazing atmosphere! A* service. Sunday roast pork belly was delicious.
The Sunday roast (I had the pork belly) waa delicious! The Yorkshire pudding was the size of a small watermelon and the service was decent. I'll definitely go back!
Great night - good table near the open front on a hot night. Food drink and service all perfect.
10/10 for food, really nice restaurant and drinks were tasty
Nice place. Good service in the end. A bit slow to start.
We had good service, nice food and the atmosphere was relaxed
Nice local pub for a Sunday roast. Make sure you book, very popular.
Best Sunday roast in Clapham!! Great service and great food.
Very tasty food (Fish& Chips), friendly service, cozy atmosphere, ideal place to introduce guests from overseas to a traditional English gastro-pub
Bottomless brunch was VERY regimented. There was no particular limit on what we could have, yet a fairly forceful waitress cane out of her way to tell us we’d had our fill. It was pretty bizarre and she was really quite rude.
