    Sunday 22 December 2024 my first visit here, we had just come from seeing Wicked at the local cinema. It was 4pm so not over busy, a real bonus! The waitress was lovely and friendly and took a real interest in our excitement over the film. We were not rushed. The space looked really nice, festive, and it was a cosy temperature. We both ordered the pork roast dinner... the waitress said it was delicious, and she was correct. Everything on the plate was cooked just right with plenty of gravy!!!! I would definitely go back. Congratulations to The Broadface on getting it right.

    We were slightly late as my friend was travelling from Bath and the journey was impacted by an RTA en route. However, gratifyingly, our table was still available. We both opted for the beef, which was tender and delicious, with exceptional veggies. I followed with the Dark Chocolate Mousse and my friend had the crumble. Both were lovely, but our mains were so very good, they were very much the excellent, but definitely the supporting act. I would be happy to come again and will tell anyone who asks how well lovely the food and everything was!

    Lovely food and a very nice atmosphere. We had a seat right by the window and could admire Abingdon's old buildings and watch the world go by.

    Good menu, great chef. Only a few vegetarian dishes, but enough for 2, and great meals.
