bad management
This pub is now a supposed gastro pub. I booked my birthday party here months ago, paying a deposit. The weekend before the party, my daughter & friend went and paid for the food that we'd ordered. Three days later, whilst sitting in a cafe in The Vatican in Rome, my daughter was called and told that our booking had been cancelled due to an electrical fault. Later we were told by another person that our slot had been filled by a wedding party. We were given our money back and told by the manager, Caine, by way of compensation, that maybe he could have a meal at one of the companies other pubs. I have not heard from them since.
We did find another venue. The Vine on Highgate Road. The manager was so accommodating when we told him what had happened. The room was free (The abbey charges £100) and the food absolutely amazing. So if you need a decent venue for a special day/event, don't go to the abbey in kentish town.
