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

Friendly staff. Delicious Sunday lunch. Huge Yorkshire pudding and beautiful beef. No problem accommodating our dog. The Abbeville is obviously very popular and we can fully understand why.

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.

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

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!

Always excellent food and a menu that is varied and interesting. Couldn't ask for a better local pub - although pub doesn't really do it justice!

Great atmosphere and service Lovely meaty roasts although the veg option used to be a delicious pie and this has been changed to a stuffed squash which isn't half as nice.... please change it back 🙏🏻

Great friendly service with food to match. Third time I've been and never been disappointed. More of a restaurant than a pub but they do show the football which is always a plus!

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.

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.

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.

It remains one of my favourite restaurants but service was pretty poor on this night - table not laid, having to to ask three times to order wine and then food, having to ask for cutlery and then salt, pepper and water.

A nice gastropub with a good range of dishes on the menu, and daily blackboard specials. The fish and chips was lovely - good fresh fish, and really delicious chips! I would like to return to try other things. Check it out!
