The Abingdon

I've always loved the great atmosphere of the Abingdon, always the right balance of locals and newbie’s. Always a good spot for a drink, no beer on tap so there's never a beer monster in site. There is a bar menu and the risotto is legendary - but head for the restaurant and make sure you can get a booth, its intimate American Graffiti. The staff is well versed in the cellar arts and responds well to flirting and friendly questions. My choice of fodder is the always the swordfish steak with a Moorish portion of the broccoli cooked in sesame sees oil (children, veggie resistance toughs - they'll graze happily on this gem). Price is very reasonable - £60-70 for 2 - depending on the tipple selection. I can think of worse places to be ship wrecked.
