Our favourite Sunday night roast spot - potatoes not as good as usual, and a side was forgotten - plus a bit of a wait for our table - but we can forgive them!

Had looked forward to seeing the newly refurbished Abbeville, which was underwhelming. A few changes were good - the middle section is now more appealing - but large sections still looked a bit tired. We had Sunday roasts (beef) and both were very disappointing - wafer thin beef, stale roast potatoes, cold yorkshire pud. All really tasteless. Such a shame as had hoped the kitchen would have improved. There are far better options now on Abbeville road.

We visited for the first time with a pushchair and forgot to mention it beforehand but the staff were extremely accommodating and very helpful. It is definitely worth mentioning beforehand though because the layout,with lots of steps and levels, is not the easiest to negotiators with pushchairs.

Staff more concerned about the locals being able to watch the football in the dining room (when it was already been shown in the bar area), than any other guests. Disappointing lack of understanding from the staff which means despite the good food, we'll be going elsewhere in the future.

This was a complimentary meal to replace a bad experience previously.We were running slightly late so called 3times to advise and it went to answer phone were a message could not be left.That was an issue that was going to be addressed .Both myself and my husbands main course's were cold and had to be returned .We ordered a Cote de Provence rose and we were given Whispering Angel which is a much more expensive wine (which is not a problem)but no explanation given.The waitress was very pleasant and very attentive .

We had a lovely time at the Abbeville. Really amazing customer service - the host was dealing with some difficult customers really well and ensured that no other tables were affected by it. And the food was awesome as always. Thanks!

We went for bottomless Prosecco brunch. We were constantly topped up and never had to ask For another bottle- it just kept on coming. :) Also, delicious food.

All together an ok experience, but roasts were a bit disappointing - below the standard of the other mains we've had in the past. no follow up from our waitress after delivering our meals - could've done with a bit more gravy...

We went as a group of 5, including 2 years old. Restaurant was very accommodating with the child and dietary requirements. The staff was lovely, especially Hanna who was very chatty. We had a great time and enjoyed our food.

Roast dinner was actually really good, but the atmosphere and service was pretty poor. Made a booking for my partners birthday and on arrival was told, before even being seated ‘you have to be off the table by 3pm’ meaning a short lived trip with friends and a 7 month old baby. At 3pm, the next customers were brought to the table before we had even finished packing up. Over all, not a place for socialling, more a quick stop to eat and go.

The food is generally fine - and Sunday roasts come out very fast. A recurring issue we've noticed about The Abbeville is that after mains come out, the service all but disappears. You'd like a condiment, good luck. Time to order pudding, good luck. Want to pay your bill: servers are nowhere to be seen. On our last visit, we had to get up and flag someone down on our way out to pay. If staff can't handle the workload, add more!

The Abbeville is our local. Usually reliable for a quick and yummy meal. As the menu changes seasonally, the offerings can occasionally disappoint. When staff is short, table service can suffer acutely.

I enjoy coming to the Abbeville. It’s very busy on Sunday you have to book. They were very busy this time, and I had to prompt for a drink that I ordered as the rest of the table had received theirs. Overall food delicious
