The Abbeville is a traditional Gastro Pub in Clapham with fine beers and wines, perfect for a get together with friends or a lazy London afternoon stop over. In the summer the pub’s front doors open and blur the distinction between the outside tables on their terrace and the cosy interior. During winter the open fire is the heart of this Clapham pub which shows Sky Sports on 46” HD plasma and with an 88” projector in the dining room. Some suggestions from their food menu include saffron risotto with seared scallops, or a seafood tasting platter, salad of char-grilled marinated lamb rump, cherry tomatoes and salted ricotta over rocket, or whole plaice grilled with lemon butter. You will want to save some appetite for their desserts too. The Banoffee pie or ginger pudding with butterscotch sauce and vanilla ice cream are heavenly treats.

For Sunday visits they strongly advise you to book a table as The Abbeville’s traditional roasts served with all the trimmings, including the crispiest roast potatoes in town, are a real hit with the regulars.
