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.

The roast was amazing, a very big Yorkshire pudding and lots of lovely vegetables! The waitress we had was really lovely and friendly, couldn't do enough for us. We had the little room down the steps and it was so nice and cosy. Best roast in Clapham even perhaps!

Really fantastic atmosphere. Staff were really welcoming, especially to our wee pug we brought along, which they were very accommodating of. The venue itself has a really great feel to it different levels and spaces, service was excellent and the Sunday roast was a big portion, absolutely delicious.

One of my favourite places to go but by far one of the worst experiences i had there. It wsa freezing cold and wet weather outside and when i arrived my coat was soaking wet, i asked if there was a coat hook to hang my coat and was told to put it on the back of my chair. I spent the entire time sitting on a dripping wet and freezing jacket. They also had the windows and doors open for a delivery and i was sat direct in the breeze. The food was also average. I ordered steak it literally arrived 5mins after ordering. Steaks although can be cooked quickly need time to rest. This clearly didn't happen. My chips were also clearly reheated from the day before and were not nice at all. Such a shame as this has really made me question whether i want to return so regularly to my favourite spot.
