This was our first visit to The Abingdon. We selected this restaurant for a business meal, as it was convenient to our hotel. We had a delicious meal, in a nice setting, where we were able to hear each other in quiet conversation. Our food was excellent, our waiter was a little too busy, but overall we had an excellent time. This restaurant is convenient to those visiting London for events at the Olympia.

Haven’t been for years but it was a lovely evening. The sofas in the bar are very comfortable and a great place to relax. Dinner was extremely tasty although the scallops were very small for what they charge for them. The side dish was forgotten which was a shame. My boyfriend really enjoyed his pork chop. The sticky toffee pudding which I shared with my friend was fantastic. I had Pinot Noir to drink and it was a lovely wine. Our waitress was really lovely and all the staff were friendly. Will definitely be going back again soon.

This was a really nice pub. We were seated immediately. Food was lovely although I would have preferred more options. The crumble was AMAZING! Slightly on the pricey side but as it was NYE it was worth it. I would definitely recommend and would go again.

Familiar restaurant, in a very quiet area, with traditional food. It was an amazing experience that I strongly recommend. Loved the scallops as a starter, the sea trout pie as a main course and the toffee pudding as a dessert was absolutely incredible.
