5 /5 Sunil Kandola: We held a wake at The Abingdon Arms for a group of over 100 people, and the experience was excellent from start to finish.
Katie in particular was outstanding... warm, organised and genuinely caring throughout. Her communication in the lead-up was clear and responsive, and she made everything feel smooth and manageable on the day. We were really grateful for her support.
The buffet option worked very well. There was plenty of food, good quality, and topped up continuously. The staff were welcoming, attentive and professional, which helped create a relaxed atmosphere for everyone despite the pub being packed.
Parking is limited directly outside the pub, but the team arranged overflow parking at Beckley Village Hall (a short walk away), which made things much easier.
Overall, a thoughtful, well-run venue with staff who really go the extra mile. Highly recommended.
