There was an incredibly noisy group at the table right next to us. Unfortunately they seemed to be 'regulars' so perhaps were given more leeway than normal. Made conversation impossible and the 'language' employed was less than tasteful. Ruined the evening, difficult to enjoy anything with such a side show

Four of us had a fabulous meal. I had crispy duck and squid ink pasta, both excellent. The staff were super friendly and helpful. We loved the atmosphere. Cocktails were good too.

Food as good as expected and the bill was reasonable. Pity about the two young 20s female diners who thought they had to shout at the person facing them 2 feet away. Their conversation was not even mildly interesting. Overall a pub meal that we should repeat.

They had run out of two of three roasts which they failed to tell us when we arrived so we wasted fifteen mins selecting them and then being told they didn’t have them. Then we were told they had also run out of cauliflower cheese and olives as we tried to order these... I know Sunday’s are busy but we booked for seven o’clock and many other table bookings came in after us -// maybe plan better on stock ordering? We had to wait a while for service. After all of this our dishes arrived (all the same because of what was left) and one plate didn’t have any green beans and we all had what looked like a quarter of a potato cut in two for roast potatoes. We asked for more and along came a small bowl (I think they were running low) for which we were charged £6! It was one potato chopped up tops... somebody finally came by the check after one of the table had already finished. Too late to start faffing. On thé rest of the menu we struggled. Loads of vegetarian/vegan offers and lots of fish - not much we honestly wanted to try. Shame as last time we visited it was a different experience. Either they struggle on busy days or it has gone a bit downhill.

We had several options to weigh up for a Sunday roast - no.33 (on the same road), Knife and No.24 the Oval. We chose Abbeville. We were seated right beside the men’s loos, not long after that we realised the door would not stop swinging/squeaking. Then we noticed the bar attached to the restaurant was showing Sunday football and their bar was packed. With men. Imagine a never ending rotation of people going in/out the men’s loos. We thought about asking to move but by the time we discussed that the food was about to arrive so hurried up and figured would be more pain free just to eat and go. I did decide to flag to the woman who seated us that sitting next to the male loo door during Sunday football with a packed bar full of males should be reserved for walk ins or come with a warning. When the answer starts with ‘but’ and continues with ‘but’ that’s when you really have an issue ‘but you booked today and it was the only table’ ok but it should come with a warning ‘but the male loos are two doors back’ that’s irrelevant to the amount of people swinging the door back and forth on their way in/out. To conclude my thoughts on this ‘but I paid £55 for two people to have lunch but didn’t enjoy but you argued the point with me anyway’ just say you’re terribly sorry and would have happily moved us if we had flagged it, we hope you will be back in future for a more comfortable meal. Needless to say, despite being a local we won’t be back.

It looks like a small pub when you go in but the dining area winds round into lots of cosy tables, including a mezzanine (where we were). The food was delicious and the ambience lovely. Would recommend.

What should have been a quick dinner for two at our neighbourhood pub took two hours. Kitchen and front of house were woefully understaffed. Three servers for the entire restaurant (including drink mixing at the back bar) meant no sign of a waiter for ten minutes or more at a time. This was not our first experience with absent staff at The Abbeville. Food prices are generally quite reasonable; during summer with a half-price offer, they're a bargain. Be warned: you get what you pay for. Typically-inattentive service takes a turn for the worse.
