The Abingdon’s days as a Kensington drinking den are long gone – in fact the place now plies its trade as a full-on gastropub, complete with plush furnishings & a rather elegant demeanour. Despite the odd gripe about ‘predictable’ food, the kitchen manages to win over the majority with high-quality offerings ranging from carpaccio of yellowfin tuna with wasabi & caviar or cinnamon-spiced rabbit casserole with French prunes & celeriac purée to trencherman plates of venison haunch with chestnut purée & rhubarb. If you fancy sharing, a mighty pavé steak with béarnaise & moreish home-cut chips should fit the bill. There’s nothing here for the real ale brigade, but drinkers are still welcome to drop by for a bottle of beer or a cocktail at the smart bar. ‘A pleasant way to spend a relaxed Friday night with friends,’ concludes one fan.
