The Abbeville

Really great pub food. We have tried most pubs in Clapham North South and Common and rate this best in the Clapham in our opinion.

My first time at The Aberville. we had the beef and pork roasts. I had no complaints but my partner thought that three smallish roast potatoes were a little on the light side for him. Also his sticky toffee pudding was more a dry sponge cake with caramel sauce and ice cream.

Really lovely staff and great food. The atmosphere was excellent- they did show the rugby in the restaurant as well as the bar which wasn't ideal for an evening meal but otherwise excellent.

Great food and great service! Steak was cooked as requested. Large burgers and a good selection of wines. Although a high service charge of 12.5%.

Delicious food in nice surroundings. A tucked away little gem!

Great food, good atmosphere, one waiter was quite grumpy but that's all :-) Would be an ideal spot to watch some Rugby or have a quiet meal out back.

Great food, helpful staff and a lovely atmosphere. Managed to book a table online which worked perfectly and had a very tasty Sunday lunch - beef was perfectly good, not overdone in any way, friend's pork belly looked delicious. Will definitely be back for more!

Stunning roast! The pork roast was superb! Great atmosphere too...I strongly recommend dining at the Abbeville.

I had the rump steak with Parmesan truffle oil fries and my friend had the lamb with Dauphinoise potatoes. I asked for the steak to be medium rate and it arrived medium at best. The piece of meat wasn't great either however the peppercorn sauce was amazing. The portion of lamb was very small - the side of Dauphinoise potatoes dwarfing the lamb. Service on the whole was quite slow too.

I don't go here enough - they are very friendly and welcoming, and the menu always looks appetising. However, the lunch menu is a little sparse and limited, and as I don't eat wheat, I was somewhat narrowed in my choices. I went for what sounded like a lovely light and fresh options, prawn and crayfish salad with grilled baby gem and grapefruit. When it turned up, it didn't look or feel like a restaurant dish - just a load of cold small prawns arranged over some leaves and fruit segments with a couple of dollops of lemon mayo. I'd probably been expecting much juicier prawns or at least something that looked like it hadn't just come straight out of the packet from Lidl! My companion had the charred salmon and that was lovely, with an attractive-looking mixed leaf base. We shared garlic greens, a pretty small portion for the price. I had a 50% off voucher for food, so when then bill came, I didn't feel so bad, but at full price, I'd have felt short-changed. The place was almost empty, so they were fast and friendly, happy to welcome my dog as well, and we had plenty choice about where to sit. I know the food here is usually excellent and I'm booked in for dinner next week, when the menu is MUCH more wide-ranging and appetising. maybe just my bad choice of limited options on this occasion, but it's worth noting that most people want to eat out for something they wouldn't normally make at home and for lovely presentation - those prawns might need to up their game ;)

Great Sunday roasts, service always good and very reasonable too.

Service was excellent as was the wine. Food was good but not amazing for the price.

Good service and dinner as usual. The only things to avoid are tables between the kitchen counter and the loos. There is often an unpleasant smell in the air. Otherwise great.

We arrived with a baby in a pram, and unfortunately we were seated in the upstairs area. Even though there were tables downstairs, we were told we couldn't move. One diner ordered a medium rare steak, and it was served blue and cold. Upon returning it, she had to wait 20 minutes for a new one to be delivered.

We've been coming to this neighbourhood restaurant for a number of years now. Friday was a bit of a special occasion, catching up with old friends. Excellent service as usual and very good food. Can't fault it.

Excelent food and atmosphere! The best Sunday roast in South west London.

Great food. Staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly, reseating us outside in the sunshine as soon as a table became available. Love this place.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. A varied menu of fairly standard stuff, but well prepared and served by very friendly waitresses. Always full, so a buzzy atmosphere. My only caveat is that if you are unlucky you may encounter a table of shrieking women.

Food was super, service excellent, quirky little pub, with a nice outside space

Nice food, friendly service. Good range of beers. Lunch menu was runny bit limited but Goff value with 50% off food.

The place was buzzing! Love the sewing machine pedal !

Excellent service and outstanding food as always! Everything was catered for, including the needs of 6 adults, a toddler and a dog.

Excellent service from the staff, good food (in both quality and selection) and wine choices and a great buzzy ambience (with intruding on our table's conversation) as ever!

Top quality food attentive staff and excellent atmosphere. Good range of food

Friendly, and courteous staff, and a lovely Sunday lunch. The pork belly was fantastic, and friends said the beef was top notch too. And some lovely beers, including Timothy Taylor Landlord.

Always reliable and one of the best burgers in town. Definite favourite.

Food was great as usual but service not as friendly as it generally is here. Pity as the restaurant was quiet so the waiting staff weren't rushed, however it was still decent and I'll be returning.

Good roast beef and exceelent fishcakes - very good size portions. Even better desert, sticky toffee pudding. And at a very decent price as well.

Good service and relaxing atmostphere.. Homely food served quickly and nicely presented,

Nice food, good service. Just that the food was a little cold on arrival at the table. I'd recommend the steak, it was very good but the truffle fries had quite a strong flavour which I liked but i know wouldn't be to everyone's taste.

Good food selection, nice service and babies and dogs welcome!

Ribs were mostly gristle and service poor. Such a shame as this place used to be so good.

Service started off really well then was awful by the end.

Excellent food and service. Great atmosphere and dog friendly. Lots of nooks and crannies made dining more interesting and it felt like we had a private dining area.

Fab local pub and great varied menu, excellent desserts and drinks choices

Good food and service as always. Great local pub serving tasty food

Great food and good service. Perfect Sunday pub and doc friendly too :)

Traditional cosy pub but offering food more impressive than your average pub. Decent wine, beer selection could be better. good winter place but nice out the front when its a sunny afternoon.

Great atmosphere and food. Staff was extremely helpful and pleasant as they accommodated for our extra guest and managed to find us a bigger table in a very busy pub.

Very good service, just the right balance between being attentive and giving you space / time to choose. Great burgers. Lovely cold Sauvignon. A very good local pub / restaurant which appears very consistent.

The food was good but the service was too slow as we waited about 30 minutes to have the main course and had to ask the waiter to check.

This is the third time we visited and it was again great food and service, as before. The Abbeville is fast becoming one of our favourites, great atmosphere, superior food and a nice wine list.

Great food, pleasant staff. A very enjoyable afternoon indeed. Well worth a visit. Everything cooked superbly and you can't beat a pint of Sambrooks Pumphouse Pale Ale

Fantastic roast dinner and service, great pub, will definitely be back

Great evening as always. The food was delicious and the staff helpful and friendly.

Very good, varied food served in intimate, rustic- style surroundings.

Excellent as always, with great food, good drinks and good service. Don't want to recommend it too highly, as don't want anyone to get complacent!! Favourite pub in the area.

Great lunch. Staff helpful and friendly as ever! Brought a friend that had never been before and he thoroughly enjoyed it. Had a salad, which I'd never had before, and it was delicious! Even better - we could use a Tastecard!

Great service and lovely pub. The Sunday roasts are better earlier in the day. I have been here twice for a Sunday roast. The first time was nearer lunch time and the beef was lovely and pink and soft, this time it was at 6.30pm and the meat was brown and a bit drier. All the trimmings were delicious and I highly recommend (just make sure you go at lunch time).

Another lovely dinner at The Abbeville. Great food and attentive staff in a buccolic setting - the countryside comes to south London! Brought friends from L.A. who were positively transported by the experience. Works every time!
