Accredited for beer quality 2022.

Built around 1860, the Abbey is an imposing building in its own grounds with parking and a garden. Although all one bar, the interior is divided into several areas, most of which have TV screens. Until early 2025, it was well known for its range of real ales and ciders which were served through ten handpumps. Following closure and refurbishment, it reopened under new ownership in June. There are now five handpumps serving a much reduced beer range. Food is served all day with Indian food being a speciality.

Two regular beers are served, but the pub is awaiting survey by the local CAMRA branch to ensure the details shown here are up to date.

Historic Interest

Historians may be interested to view the blue plaque on the house a few doors away (69 Monkmoor Road) which commemorates the WW1 poet Wilfred Owen. His family were living there at the time of his death in 1918.
