The Abbeville

A real local’s local, where most of the customers live in the web of streets around & are happy to drop in for a pint, a glass of wine or a plate of something tasty, if none too challenging, to nibble on as the mood takes them. There’s a decent range of beers on tap & the wine list has plenty by the glass & enough lubbly bubbly to keep the local estate agents afloat. The food & service are a different story. Lack of concentration or care in the kitchen leads to erratic seasoning & faulty preparation of basic ingredients, while the unmotivated staff seemingly couldn’t care less.
