Nice atmosphere, lovely food, good service. Always a fan of the roast beef and enormous Yorkshire pudding. Kids enjoyed it too - had burgers and steak

Very personable waitresses who took interests in making sure my friends and I were well looked after. Booking service was easy online and they made sure to take down our details of any prams too. Well thought!

Really great value food for a Sunday brunch with helpful and friendly staff. We had two under three fids with us and they looked after their needs too with activities and help with heating bottles. Good food and fresh ale too.

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.

The pub is really cosy and beautiful. The food is really delicious but the service was quite slow and we were waiting for our drinks and napkins for a long time. Would definitely recommend though!

Arrived and were told by three different people when they needed their table back which didn’t really make you feel welcome. Service other than that was great with lovely rooms/ tables. Had the burger which was just ok x

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

Had a great Sunday roast but not a great space for people with babies and children as there isn’t really anywhere to accommodate a small buggy.

Unfortunately we were greeted on our arrival by being advised the table was needed to be given back in 90 minutes. We were then rushed through our meal to ensure we met this window. It was not quite the leisurely lunch we’d hoped for.

I always come here, the restaurant is super dog friendly, staff always make a fuss of my dog and bring him water. The service is great and the food is really good. Highly recommended.

Really let down with the service and the food this evening. Having come to the pub regularly and always had amazing food and good service this was beyond disappointing. When we got there they had got the tables all mixed up. Then the food was brought out at different times (we ended up speaking to the chef directly). The food was average and not anywhere as good as it normally is. Then we were told (when we went to pay) that the card machines were down, no alternative way to pay was offered - my husband had to go home to get cash to pay. Whilst he was out I overheard the waitress pretending not to understand what an ATM was when someone asked them where the nearest one was. They should have been telling people as they came in as there isn’t any cash machines nearby. Really bad night as a result from a local pub that we normally love.

Not up to the usual standards. Had to wait over 20 minutes for my table. Kids Sunday roast portions are usually generous but not this time. Food wasn’t too hot either. As usual, the staff were working very hard. It was really busy, but that’s not a good enough excuse

pretty average meal on an early Sunday evening booking. Roasts never fully hit the mark here on sundays - kitchen just seems overwhelmed by demand. Would avoid on Sundays.

The Abbeville recently updated their menu -- not for the better. We used to return enthusiastically to what is our local pub. Now, not likely for a while to give them the opportunity to make their food options more compelling.

Very, very nice food. Good service, too. But don't let them seat you upstairs – low ceiling and no ambiance feels like you've been stuck in no-man's land.

Went to The Abbeville with a 50% of voucher and the food was very good - we all had the steak and chips which was very good quality. The problem is they make a lot of money from the drinks and they also add 12.5% service onto the value of what the overall cost would have been before discount so, in effect, there is a 25% service charge which is difficult to challenge unless you totally refuse to pay it! For this reason, even with the 1/2 price voucher, I won't rush back as the food is expensive at full price but you virtually pay that with the ridiculous service charge.

Service was super, really friendly server who didn't rush us. The white wine we ordered, however, was way to warm and although a bucket with ice was provided, as it was a hot evening the wine never reached the right temperature which obviously affected the taste. We chose the ribs for a main, which were okay but too tough and more bone than meat. Dessert (sticky toffee pudding) was delicious.

Lovely local! Ribs were insane and great wine selection for my taste. I had a chicken salad which was pretty basic. But good ambience and staff!! Thumbs up
