Really good, honest food - we particularly enjoyed the chicken wings to start. Portion sizes were very generous, so good value for money for the price! The cheeseboard was huge so we shared it! Serving staff were excellent, attentive but not overly so. Good wine list. We'll be visiting again.

Lovely pub with great food and great service. Went for a Sunday lunch and had the table for two and a half hours so we're not rushed at all either.

Never been to the abbeville, but have tried their sister pubs and I must say this is the best one that I've tried. Very attentive and laid back staff and excellent food

Service was very good as always in a Three Cheers Pub. The food on this occasion fell short of what we normally have. The Pasta was under cooked and very salty. The meat in the pies was very dry. Both starters were excellent and the pud was good but they could add more custard to the thimble you get with the crumble.

Arrived at around 7.30pm waited for 5 mins at the reception to be seated. Waitress saw us but too busy chatting about holiday with customers on the table. We were not greeted until the telephone rang and when one the staff came to answer it. Ordered a belly pork which was awful, it should be a moist, soft piece of meat with a nice layer of fat of top, it came as a lump of fat, the fat was about 1.5 inches thick on one side, the meat was dry and hard, some parts of it was a hard as bones. My friend had a veggie dish which, he said, was nice. For a drink is nice but not for the food.

I go for lots of Sunday Roasts on the quest to find the best one - probably a never ending task - still, it's good to taste them all on the journey! The roast at the Abbeville was amazing. A really decent amount of meat and I requested the rarest part of the beef, which I got. Lots of veg however, there weren't any options for extra veg such as cauli cheese or creamed leeks, which was a shame. I had to ask for my horseradish sauce however, the roast came out with lots of delicious gravy and normally I have to ask for more - however, there was enough so I didn't have to, which is a big win in my books. The staff could have been slightly more friendly - they were really busy yes however, they seemed a bit exasperated and not very engaging, which was a shame. Overall, it was up there with one of the best I've had and I would recommend it to friends.

Ok, but menu and service pretty average and unexciting, and table layout made it feel very cramped. An average local gastropub but nothing to write home about.

Lovely pub, attentive service although a little slow on the drinks when we ordered. I had the mezze, which was absolutely delicious but I expected more for £9.00. We went the other week too to watch the rugby and the atmosphere was good considering it's a small pub and not known for showing sports as much as others. Lovely to have dogs in there too! Highly recommended.

Great food. Service was friendly and quick to take our order and bring food, which was great. However, it took a long time to get our bill when it was time to leave.

Food and service pretty good. Would recommend the Sunday roast, would have been 6 starts just that the Irish coffee wasn't quite hot enough! But tasted good!

Service was efficient, speedy and friendly. Lunch was great, hot, fresh and just as a Sunday roast should be. Only slight complaint was that the table for 2 behind us was so close, that several times the chairs were knocking together back to back.

We had a lovely lazy lunch on Saturday, looked after by our charming waiter Dominic who really made sure we had everything we needed. The Abbeville has such a cozy laid back feel, we were sat next to the fire which Dominic turned on for us, and I almost fell asleep with my glass of wine I was that relaxed!! It's like being in your own living room but with someone else cooking you amazing food and then doing the washing up! What more could you ask for? I love this place, always coming back for more. You won't be disappointed Xx

The roast was a little overpriced for what it was sadly. "All the trimmings" included 2 potatoes and a few veggies, not quite what i was expecting for the cost. The meat was delicious, very good quality and cooked well. Plates needed to be warmer to jeep the food hot, it was warm when it came to us and cooled very quickly.

Really busy and service reflected that, but the food was really good. FYI they do a veggie Sunday roast that isn't a nut roast which is a definite bonus!

Food was delicious. Service was fantastic. Only reason for not receiving full marks is that one of our desserts came without being cooked! Resolved quickly however

Too many dogs around for my liking. Staff stroking people's dogs then serving food without washing hands. Can't understand why a food establishment would allow ten dogs at one sitting. Too much for my liking.

We were a group of 5 sat on a table for 4 and it was very tight and quite uncomfortable, particularly for my mum. The food was ok, lacking in veg and the beef was very thin and not that tender. Compare to other pubs near by it was average and think we will give it a miss next time.

Very good service and tasty food in a cosy setting. However, one of the orders asked for sauce on the side and the meal arrived with sauce on. That would the only complaint,

We requested the Christmas menu like we had last year and got there to be told that we hadn't. We expected crackers and party hats but it was just a normal evening. The food also took quite a while and the table was uneven and we had to sort it ourselves. We probably won't be going back next year for a third Christmas.
