| The Mrs, baby and I popped in here on a rather quiet Monday lunchtime for a bit of food and a pint, and I have to say that although first impressions were a bit dubious (thought it appeared a bit studenty compared to the rather inviting frontage) we were soon welcomed in by (landlord?) Leon, who was friendly, chatty and helpful. I had a pint of Tribute which was in fine shape, the Mrs had a vino, both reasonably priced. Food was your average pub grub, but done to a good standard. My burger was really tasty and the chips hot and crispy - no complaints here. Overall I thought this place was good; warm and friendly service, good food and a decent pint. Can't say fairer than that. PMA - 3 Feb 2012 15:57 |
| Not ostensibly a particularly inviting pub, but equally one that doesn't repel either - a good bog standard no frills local is what one might expect. By and large that does seem to be what one gets - although beyond the initial impressions of the unremarkable wooden-floored bar area and further seating and performance area round the corner, there is a little more to this place than meets the eye. For a start there is a rather appealing and generous rear garden and decking area, which on a bright Spring day was the perfect suntrap in which to enjoy some sociable drinks. Beyond this, there is an entirely separate 'garden bar' which is an extension of the main building, and on the day I visited featured something of a mini beer fest, with a far greater range of cask ales for sampling than on the main bar - perhaps this should've been better-advertised?! In any case, it was gradually brought home to me that the Eagle has more merit than it might appear, and only a less-cursory visit allows this to become apparent. Being Sweeps weekend there was the inevitable live country band plugging away - no worse than any of the others witnessed elsewhere - and the atmosphere was both welcoming and friendly. A pleasant Adnams Broadside was sunk and although I didn't stop to try the other beers this time, it's a note to self for possible future visits. A pleasant surprise. TWG - 9 May 2011 17:01 |

| Despite the raucous crowd and the music (hillbilly rock not being quite my cup of Bovril) and getting my beer in a plastic 'glass.... I didn't mind this place. It's unusual enough to find a music venue serving proper ale yet alone serving decent pints of it. The Reverend James was quite a nice pint. Of the multifarious drinking establishments on the High Street this is one of only two worth bothering with. Snarling_Mallard - 3 May 2010 22:56 |
