The ViewLondon Review

Review byTiffanie Wen29/11/2007
The Eagle combines friendly and efficient service with a tasty menu to create the ideal place for a quality meal at reasonable prices - all in a traditional pub atmosphere.

The Venue
Walking along Farringdon Road, it is impossible not to notice The Eagle. The green building itself looks like any other pub in London, but it’s always brimming with loyal patrons. The place is packed with seating, including a couch and coffee table and stools near the windowsills, where you can perch whilst grabbing a pint or enjoying dinner. The bar along the back wall doubles as an open kitchen where you can watch the action taking place. There is also a limited amount of outdoor seating, which is very pleasant on a nice day.

The Atmosphere
If you’re coming off a long day at work, the lively environment of The Eagle is likely to put you in a good mood. The friendly staff keep the place running like a well oiled machine and the clientele are chipper and chatty. The only downside to the popularity of this pub is the fact that you may have to enjoy your beer standing up while you wait for a place to sit.

The Food
The Eagle serves up a variety of quality dishes at reasonable prices - from £7 to £12 per entree. The chalkboard menu changes daily but always offers a good selection of items, including soup, salad, pasta and meat dishes. Every dish is likely to exceed your expectations, so order freely. And if you’re in the mood and it’s on the menu, try the steak sandwich.

The Drink
There are several beers on draught at The Eagle - including Red Stripe, Kirin, Leffe Blonde and Hoegaarden, as well as a variety of liquor. There is also an international list of wines, most of which come from Europe. They do a good Bloody Mary for £5 or you can give the virgin a go at £1.50.

The Last Word
With a great meal in your belly and conversation flowing amongst friends, you’ll have a hard time leaving this well known gastropub.
