Love the Eagle and Child. I have been here many times over the years and still love it!
The Eagle and Child is a bit off the beaten track, as are so many great pubs. When we come from the States and meet up with friends there and always have a great time.
The bar staff is really nice, the place has a great layout. You have two areas inside to choose from and a large patio outside. Yes, the patio is in the car park essentially, but they have made a definite break between the car park and the patio with nice landscaping and even in ground lighting.
The best night? Monday! Quiz night is a TON of fun here. Even though I know very few of the answers (I blame being American), I still have a great time. I've promised to do the quiz/be the quizmaster.
The WiFi is the fastest around, and we're always looking for somewhere to use our American smartphones for free.
The only thing I would definitely skip is the food. My husband and I ate dinner before quiz night one of the evenings we were there and it wasn't good. Skip the food and go for the fun. read more
