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.

The staff were friendly, accommodating and efficient. The food was lovely if a little on the pricey side (even though we were using a 50% off voucher) but the quality was great. The pub/restaurant itself was really nice and even though there was a large group/party in the restaurant too the noise levels were acceptable. Would definitely return!

Sitting near kitchen meant repeated noisy cluttering of plates. In future would ask to sit somewhere else

The food was v disappointing. Our burgers (normally really big and juicy but are now thin and suspiciously uniformed) were bone dry, the blue cheese in mine was dog ends and not melted. My friends duck salad starter was so tiny we both burst out laughing when I was put down. They took it back when I pointed it out. We then heard the chef swearing and moaning about it. The puddings were good though.

Bottomless brunch was VERY regimented. There was no particular limit on what we could have, yet a fairly forceful waitress cane out of her way to tell us we’d had our fill. It was pretty bizarre and she was really quite rude.

We had a lovely table overlooking Abbeville Road. Although the football match was on, we were not disturbed or overwhelmed by it. We had shared dishes with our cocktails before moving on to our mains with a bottle of wine. The food was delicious. The servers were very attentive and patience. We had a good night.

Delicious food and service good but it was all somewhat hurried and rushed out at the end . I’d rather they charged slightly more so it was more leisurely.

Our favourite Sunday night roast spot - potatoes not as good as usual, and a side was forgotten - plus a bit of a wait for our table - but we can forgive them!

Had looked forward to seeing the newly refurbished Abbeville, which was underwhelming. A few changes were good - the middle section is now more appealing - but large sections still looked a bit tired. We had Sunday roasts (beef) and both were very disappointing - wafer thin beef, stale roast potatoes, cold yorkshire pud. All really tasteless. Such a shame as had hoped the kitchen would have improved. There are far better options now on Abbeville road.

We visited for the first time with a pushchair and forgot to mention it beforehand but the staff were extremely accommodating and very helpful. It is definitely worth mentioning beforehand though because the layout,with lots of steps and levels, is not the easiest to negotiators with pushchairs.

Staff more concerned about the locals being able to watch the football in the dining room (when it was already been shown in the bar area), than any other guests. Disappointing lack of understanding from the staff which means despite the good food, we'll be going elsewhere in the future.

This was a complimentary meal to replace a bad experience previously.We were running slightly late so called 3times to advise and it went to answer phone were a message could not be left.That was an issue that was going to be addressed .Both myself and my husbands main course's were cold and had to be returned .We ordered a Cote de Provence rose and we were given Whispering Angel which is a much more expensive wine (which is not a problem)but no explanation given.The waitress was very pleasant and very attentive .
