Pablo Lounge in Vale of White Horse

Terribly slow service food cold by the time of serving

Logged into WiFi. No menus on the tables. Got menu up online but could barely read it. After a lot of frustration, we got up and walked out.

Fully enjoyed all Lauren wad great 👍

Always feel safe ordering gluten free food here. They take great care to look after those with allergens.

Very nice place to visit, good food and the staff were excellent, well done all 👍

Lovely place, good is quite ok but do ask to mind shakshuka, or else it will be chewy as a rubber. Everything else is nice!

Nice place for brunch, lunch or dinner. Interesting menu, easy to order, and generally easy to catch up with friends and relax.

5 stars for all aspects! We had a baby shower meal at this place and I must say it was great. The decor was really nice, the staff were top so friendly and professional. The food was really good. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends & family and will be visiting again!

We came here as a group of five for breakfast on a Saturday morning. Everyone really enjoyed their food and the service was great. I was really impressed by and happy with the number of vegan options, especially. I'd for sure come again.

Really nice and pleasant staff. Very welcoming.

It was quiet when I went this afternoon but a lovely day. I sat outside and had the aubergine flatbread it was gorgeous!

Excellent service and food. Also available is a wide range of alcoholic drinks. Would highly recommend a visit. Dog friendly with dogs allowed inside cafe and have dog treats.

Great all day breakfast at a good price with friendly staff

This is a good place to eat in Abingdon. Food good. Service excellent. Lacked atmosphere due to the time of day, so not a criticism.

Superb, friendly staff, reasonably priced and I think that was the best Cheeseburger I’ve ever had.

Sun out. This is the place to be having a cuppa/or something stronger outside.

A great little place to pop in for a casual lunch. They dont rush you. Grrat place to go with friends and have a catch up. The food is good and varied. They have a basic bar if you just want drinks too.

Food was great. Many great options, not enough. Dairy free options though but good

Best breakfast I've had for a long time. The bacon was crispy and so tasty, eggs poached to creamy perfection. Very nice!

I had ordered a curry which was mostly rice and the portion was not very big at all so I needed something else.

It is always never too busy when we go (maybe we just get lucky!) but staff are warm and welcoming, and food is always lovely. Thanks!

Nice place to go to, absolutely brilliant about dogs as well, Which is rare so I do enjoy coming here and the staff are really nice. The atmosphere is good It can get quite busy in there. The only downside is the cost and the portions. It's quite a high cost restaurant I would say that to have a a decent amount to eat and drink you would need to spend about 30 quid per person. There's a lot of good things on there in terms of being gluten and vegetarian and vegan. I am none of these but it's nice to see that they have options. It would just be nice to see a little bit more on the plate when you pay that much.

Good food for a decent price. I had to wait at the bar for quite some time to place my order (there is a QR code but it wasn’t working for me)but it wasn’t very busy and I wasn’t expecting to wait so long. The staff is nice and friendly when they did speak to me, they were probably busy doing other things. Toilets were clean when we went.

Very impressive choice of drinks, friendly staff

Visited pablo's today for coffee. We were greeted by Ruby- very effecient and welcoming also PowPow made us the best coffee we have tasted for ages . will visit again

Worst experience ever. Glasses were looking as never washed. Although we asked for a replacement, we were told we have to pay again. Disgusting place and staff. Terrible. Real nightmare

I love the food there, they have good hygiene standards and felt safe. I love going there and recommend to friends and family

Went out for lunch with my partner and the food was delicious, the atmosphere was incredible and the waitress whose name I think was Freya was super welcoming and kind! Will be coming again!

A very yummy breakfast, a bit expensive though.

One of the best restaurants & cafes in Oxfordshire. We love all the Lounge restaurants. Great atmosphere and big tables which is very rare to find nowadays. People are amazing and service is nice when it’s so busy it can take a bit of time to get your order but there is nothing wrong with it. High demand, high waiting time.

The music was so loud. I mentioned it to the staff but they seemed uninterested. We asked for marshmallows on our drink and it arrived without them. However the staff member got them straight away for us. Drinks are now being served without teaspoons. We had to ask for them which we were given straight away.

Lovely food! But the staff did struggle in keeping up with orders when we visited as a big group.

Had dinner there in restaurant, was great! Good food, quick, great service. Had take-away a day later as we had a long day and wanted something quick. The servings were 1/4th of what we got in-store, or missing items entirely. Go there for a sit down! Don’t get takeaway!

Nice and varies menu choices, prompt and friendly service.

I visited this place, Abingdon 🇬🇧 and I, from Houston, Texas. They have wifi,excellent foods, the salad and soup are lovely 😍 👌 . I recommend this place.

Lovely place to go for breakfast and lunch

Very nice place and good food, special thanks to Dino ☺️ very polite person, made us feel like in a Michelin star restaurant. Well done guys 💯🔥

Poppy and Grace were fabulous. Brought our little dog Mabli in for tea, and they were super accommodating. Great food and atmosphere!

New chef? It's definitely improved It's lunch dishes, but you can never go wrong with the brunch options!

It was just a fun experience all round good company, nice music

Lovely welcome to everyone. Enjoyed the Mexican salad with grilled halloumi, lots of delicious flavours.

Great service and atmosphere, Poppy was delightful will definitely come back

Was there for the quiz on Wednesday, Poppy did a great job and she was super nice repeating the questions for our table! The atmosphere was great, we had great fun. Thanks to the team and Poppy!

Had a very nice brunch it was very busy but staff very efficient

Very busy, went for a coffee. Service very good.

Love the place. Good food friendly service.

Very good, busy place, lots of nice stuff on the menu, coffee great, staff all polite.

They want to collect a ridiculous amount of personal private data to allow you to use their Wi-Fi to order from the table. Mobile data is erratic in there, so the place is a no-go for me.

The food so yummy😋 the service was so great 👍

Excellent service. Shame they were turning so many people away when they had a full table advertising future event x

The food was just about average and took along time to come out. We sat outside which was very cramped. I would say it's just average and overpriced especially the breakfast

Very enjoyable and good value. My Nasi Goreng was nice. The menu is quite varied and many dishes are available as gluten free.

Clearly a rapid decline. No Estrella, but awful Hoffmeister instead. Ambiance killed by emptiness. No food in sight. What a shame.

A nice space and lovely staff but beware it gets very crowded at times.

Busy, friendly with a great range and a whole vegan menu. Food was served quickly & was delicious. Definitely worth returning to.

Have been here in the day and didn't feel overly impressed but decided to use the night cafe and it's quite a different feel. So this is a cafe where you order at the bar or by QR code. It's completely accessible and has more of a 'bar' feel at night with an actual bar, bar table, normal table and Chatty Cafe scheme sofa. We started at the bar table but grabbed the chatty sofa when it was free as my son wanted to play board games. The staff were really nice and attentive despite it not being table service. The decor is really nice and the music ambient. You can't really play board games as pretty much all the pieces were missing but I mentioned this politely and the staff member came back and told me he had already sent a message to the manager about this. I would definitely come again if I can get the sofa as it's relaxing a place as your own home.

Fantastic service, food is lovely, compliments to all the staff not forgetting the chefs, good job 👍

Went for a quiet brunch and to write a letter. Although it was very busy, I was made super welcome and was able to have my meal in peace and concentrate on what I wanted to do. I also had a gorgeous brunch - the maple and bacon pancake stack and a stonking great pot of tea all to myself. Both were delicious and I highly recommend you indulge yourself at your first opportunity. You are welcome at Pablos whether you are in a group or as a solo diner, no distinction is made - take your bestie or a book , you will be welcome 😉

Decent food, good vegan options.

Don't come here for great food, but it's a really nice place to sit, relax and have a catch up.

Don't like to leave bad reviews, but we popped in for a quick simple breakfast. We'd both ordered tea and toast, it took 45 minutes to arrive. If you are that busy, you should be warning your customers of the time involved. No apology for the wait when the food finally arrived.

Nice food. Had a lounge breakfast. Eggs were cold, suggest warming the plates.

Six of us ate here last night and the experience was dire. The kitchen was out of stock on many items. Curry burger arrived dry and without curry sauce or mango chutney. French fries out of stock so I had a substitute. My friend had the Shakshuka, which arrived without bread, out of stock. We ordered a mocktail at the bar, unavailable due to lack of ingredients…. Another friend ordered the goat curry, was told ten minutes later that there was none, so she ordered the brisket chilli. The Christmas burgers arrived without the pigs in blankets. Not one meal arrived as promised. A terrible place to visit.

Food was good, staff friendly and lots of vegan options

Great food, I often stop here mid walk when walking the dog. the Lounge breakfast is a great start to the day

Great place to drop in for a quick bite. Food 5* but the coffees not at quite the same level.

Came in twice during my visit to Abingdon. Great food and drinks which are well priced. Love the variety and the fact you can have brunch throughout the day and evening! Friendly and helpful staff and great vibe in this inclusive restaurant.

Tasty, quick food at a very decent price served by lovely staff. Always reliable.

Saturday meet up with baby sisters with mum, bacon a little overcooked for my taste but otherwise great food and amazing staff

Lovely lively friendly cafe , came for breakfast . Great staff , could not ask for more attentive waiters . Food was amazing , great portions and great price Would recommend and will be back when In Oxford

Lovely location. Really wide ranging menu: something for everyone. Very young untrained staff who care less.

Lovely chilled out atmosphere with nice Tapas (portions just a little small)

1/10. Played it safe with a mozzarella, tomato and pesto panini. They ran out of panini baguettes so offered it with bread instead, which I said no worries. It came looking like it was made by someone who quit their job half way through making it. It resembled something that had been swept up off the ground, punched, and then put back on the plate. Strangely there were bits of the bread missing. The area is pretty rough and the flies all over the place were irritating. Anyway, overall dreadful. For £7-8 you'd expect better. I think a 5 year old with access to basic instructions could've made better. Would opt for a Tesco meal deal next time.

Ordered gosling rum with smokey coke on the website but they said it didn't exist... perhaps don't have it as an option if you don't want people disappointed... my egg was raw in which stringy bits were hanging from my fork which it would be nice to not have salmonella anytime soon!. My friends burger wasn't even the right one, bacon and avocado burger is what he got instead of his chimmy churey burger he ordered. Under staffed but the drinks were rather nice and the atmosphere.

It's too dark, they make too many mistakes and the lighting is poor

Had breakfast here twice. On both occasions, all the staff were very friendly. It was busy giving a good buzz. The Lounge breakfast was lovely with just the right amount of food. Good all round.

Seemed a bit empty for a Saturday night but maybe that is the new norm. Service was good and food was very nice. Some options not available, which is the only reason I've knocked a star off the food.

Fast food atmosphere---good food

Waited an hour for two sandwiches, with no communication from any of the staff. They arrived lukewarm at best; I'd avoid this place.

Was disappointed with the experience, food was average, but I’m pretty sure they forgot to put any shots in my cocktail as there was no taste of any of the spirits but waited too long to be bothered to send it back etc.. Two undrinkable drinks for the best part of £20 seems poor value

Strange place. Not much human contact. We had to order and pay on my Niece's phone as nobody serving. Average food.

Possibly the worst place to eat in Abingdon? Was here 2 years ago and thought "surely, it's better now?" Sadly not. Waited nearly 30 mins for the food to arrive and when it did it was awful (butter chicken) dried up and totally overcooked. We sent it back but waited so long for it to be replaced we cancelled and got a refund from the very polite staff, who were great. Probably used to issuing refunds and throwing stuff in the bin. How does this place keep going selling third rate food? There are so many better places close by, so avoid at all costs!!

Went for lunch today with my partner and child and had one of the worst service experiences we’ve had in some time. Having ordered we were waiting 40 minutes before being told there was a delay and we were the next inline behind a large order. This could have been told to us much earlier. As our child is 10 months and hungry we couldn’t wait any longer and asked for cancel and opt for a refund as we ordered and paid via their app. They were happy to do this however, refused to refund the 10% tip we put in the order. I struggle to understand the logic of not refunding a tip when no actual good or service has been received.

Lovely food defo will be going back

Food was only just warm enough Only just enough food really. Also no dark beers in stock, Disappointing overall.

Good service and really nice food and drinks.

My daughter has been hear many times and recommended it I must say my fish finger sandwiches were one of the best. Tasty

Always love Pablos, service is great, food is fantastic and added bonus is being able to take our dog in

Very good food with quick service. Allergens and such were incredibly well catered for! Will definitely return.

First time eating here, my partner ordered the smashed avocado with poached egg, first egg came (one on the side of the plate) and was completely solid cooked through, whereas my meal (lounge eggs) came poached fine, runny centre. So we asked for another poached egg for my partner as when you order a poached egg you expect it to be runny! We then had to wait for a new egg to come and this meant we didn’t eat together as my meal would have gone cold otherwise. Eventually 2 new poached eggs were delivered and they were just as over cooked! See photo! When you order a poached egg you expect it to be runny, not solid. Also it came with the stalk/pip of the avocado, see top left of plate. Not a great first experience here and probably won’t return. It wasn’t even busy either!

Best English breakfast we've had in ages. And the staff were professional and friendly. Highly recommended

Had a full English on Friday,omg, absolutely amazing, everything was fresh and hot, lovely coffee too,well worth a visit

The food tasted good but had to wait 40 minutes for two salads and the staff didn't even mention it to apologise or to say it was going to be a long time to make the salads.

Food was stupendous. Front of house treated us with the utmost respect and really showed passion fkr their jobs. Unfortunately I was unable to try the famous Pablo brownies but I'm sure I'll be back soon.

Came back here after a number of years being away not as nice as it used to be staff members were very friendly but tables was very sticky and the area has gone downhill and very rundown very disappointing abingdon Council

Great food at reasonable price friendly and relaxed atmosphere

The food was ok, average pub stuff really. What made the experience 4 stars though is the staff. I think they were understaffed today, but a smile never left her face. Well done on running the floor by yourself seemingly

Beautifully designed, ideally located and nice staff.

45 minute wait for 3 tapas dishes on an hour’s lunch break. Table wasn’t cleared when we arrived so had to clear it ourselves. Table not cleaned and no welcome upon arrival. A wait for food could be forgiven if it were a busy lunch service, however there were only a handful of diners and all experienced wait times of at least an hour (some were offered free drinks but this offer wasn’t made to our table). We weren’t provided with any apology or update on the food, and so felt robbed and abandoned throughout.

Very good food and drinks. Lovely ambience. Candlelit soothing lighting. Lots of games for kids. Great place
