The Abbey

It’s not good.. Visited for the first time for drinks, it’s a Joseph Halt pub so they only serve Holt beers which are pretty terrible. If you want a branded beer you have to buy it in a bottle, which, if I was going to do that I’d buy one from Tesco & drink it in at home in the garden. Also got a pint of coke which was flat, took it back and swapped it for a lime and soda which was also flat. The actual pub is decorated really well, the food also looked really good but I’ll never return. Far better places around it.

Terrific place to go to. We visited for food on a Saturday evening thinking it,d be busy but we found a table no problem. The menu had excellent variety. The staff were friendly and asked about allergies before I even ordered the food. When the food arrived it did so in good time and pipping hot. Delicious, good portion and leaves you wanting more is how I described they,re food. The dessert was lovely aswell. We got the 2 for £14 and its absolutely worth the visit. The meals are selected on this offer but again good variety. The football was playing so if you want to just go for a drink. There's a beer garden offering plenty of benches and outdoor TVs offering an overall great atmosphere. Ill be back again and will recommend the Abbey to everyone.

Left a bad taste. My partner and I normally go to the Richmond pub in Southport, they serve the same menu and we always have a lovely time at that pub. Sadly the menu on offer is where the similarities end. Took my mother and my two sons for a meal Sunday tea time to The Abbey, which we had booked in advance. To start off the bar was on the loud side which some could say is to be expected but unfortunately it affected the atmosphere of the other rooms where people were trying to eat, maybe it’s the norm for their clientele but not something I’m happy to try and enjoy a meal through. The tables were too close together and you couldn’t have a conversation without other people being able to hear, not a relaxing environment at all. I was also shocked that when it came to ordering food we were told we had to chose our deserts *now* before we had even eaten our main in order to be able to have the 2 courses offer?? never experienced this before! When I asked if I could please order another drink when they brought our food they said we had to go up to the bar, which meant squeezing past other diners and going into the crowded bar area. The food was bland and expensive for what it was, had better elsewhere unfortunately. Didn’t order more drinks or stay for desert and left soon after, didn’t even finish our meals. Wouldn’t recommend

Nice locals pub with a good beer selection at decent prices. Just visited after their recent refurbishment and was extremely impressed. Much nicer inside and out with a whole new traditional look that works very well. Beer, wine and gin selection was awesome and decent prices. Outdoor television screens are a nice touch and will bring people outside in nicer weather than the day we visited. Wow five stars to one star in one visit !!! Bartender ignored me to change the television channel for someone so I waited until another employee came to help . Sat down in a comfy armchair only to be told they were only for show . Now this is when stupid just becomes insulting. The table had a menu on it plus beer coasters and a table number. If you don’t want me sitting there just say but please don’t insult my intelligence. Left and went to the Gerard across the street and immediately felt welcomed and a much nicer vibe . Please see my attached photo of the forbidden show seats 😂

Lovely pub, no banging music and a nice atmosphere to have a cracking meal with friends and loved ones. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Top notch and another benefit is its only 100 mtrs from my front door. Did I mention the food was spot on.
