The Eagle And Child Inn

Booked a table for my dad’s birthday with family as we offen do. Have been going for years and have always had lovely food. I ordered the special, Lamb Henry for just under £20. What I got was a large salad bowel full of sauce (soup) couldn’t see the lamb and was served with mash which dissolved in a couple of minutes and no other veg. Looked so terrible that I sent it straight back (something I never do) and asked for another meal. Was told I could order something else but would have a long wait! Didn’t bother ordering anything as everyone would have finished theirs. Terrible experience and unfortunately won’t go back. Sad as I had always loved the pub and even worked there for 4 years

Our food choices were very disappointing. Chicken and chorizo was nuclear hot as if it had been zapped in the microwave. The scampi was mostly batter and, in contrast to the chicken, was on the cold side. Typical below par pub grub. Just very disappointing.

We have been here before and enjoyed its quirky nature plus good food and drinks. We weren’t disappointed this time either. Our friends had booked a room there which they said was fine and the breakfast ok. We all had an evening meal that was very well cooked and tasted great. Afterwards we went across the road to the beer garden for a couple more drinks and a chat. Lovely evening thank you Eagle and Child. We will return.

Good beer and garden , handy for walks and bus , lunchtime food more snack based and average, not great .

We had the Roast Pork Roast Beef Sunday Lunches. Very well cooked very tasty, with a good selection of Vegetables. In addition, the Staff were very welcoming, polite friendly. We will return !
