Nobody would blame this pub if it stopped serving at 9pm, or even 10. But it carries on far beyond its ability to offer proper service or good - even palatable - food.

When my skate and veg finally arrived (it was the only thing left on the menu) it was cold, bony and would have been inedible had there had been more than two mouthfuls to it. The best that can be said is that it did not disrupt my diet. But really, £13 for this achrymorphic mush? It has been a long time since I got something this bad for this much.

I've eaten the lamb here in the daytime and it was fine (not great but fine); but this place should know its limits. At 10.30pm I would have been happier to be turned down on the food if it meant having more than one poor beleagured barmaid trying to serve 50 people at the bar.

What an amazing genuine and charismatic place- I did not want to leave! I was so impressed by the friendliness of the staff and the all-round good feeling this pub gives out. Long may it prosper.

I just had a kipper pate on superb bread whichI understand they get from the St John restaurant and bakery and a glass of cold white wine - what more could anyone want? (Although I saw a mouth watering menu written up on the blackboards)

The steak sandwich is great for the first four mouthfulls then you discover their secret ingredient, yeast extract; bovril, marmite or something equally disgusting and unwanted powers through the taragon and chilli flakes and sullies the meat. I would have got over this had there been some mayo or indeed a chip to dunk in it.

No chips? No condiments? Come on, its a pub.

Dont go to this pub, the owner treats his staff like dirt. Small wonder they look distant and miserable!

I am shocked by the numerous poor reviews of Eagle. I live right next door and frequent the pub on a daily basis. The staff are unbelievably friendly. There may not be the most extensive list of drinks and dishes, but nonetheless it is most definitely a quality establishment in London. Come after work and drink with the dozens of people that come to socialize at the bar. Its is a guaranteed good time, and if you got at an off hour the intimate setting is a great place for a chat with a mate or client.

I live in Farringdon close to The Eagle and love going out to eat and having a few drinks. After going there once I would never go again.


They have poor, unfriendly service, really bad cocktails and overpriced, low quality, poorly prepared, and even more poorly cooked food! Do yourself a favour and go to the quality chop house opposite. It's so much better than The Eagle.

What a disappointment The Eagle was! Perhaps this pub was great some years ago but now it the food is rubbish, it has an ordinary lager selection and a tatty aray of second hand rickety furniture. The bar staff took ages to take our order. The Pasta was undercooked and the bream was nearly tasteless. Soups were OK.



Do not go to The Eagle. Go spend your money somewhere worthwhile.

What a shame!

Been to The Eagle for some fantastic meals before. Unfortunately, we went again today with friends. You have to pay for your food before you receive your meal, always a risk!

We all ordered within minutes of each other and it ended up being a total shambles. Two meals arrived almost straight away (one was cold). We had to wait 20 minutes for another two meals and 10 minutes later another two.

The last two meals at The Eagle arrived with the salmon virtually raw. We tried talking to the manager and then the owner to get a refund or at least an apology and nothing. They were the rudest staff i've ever encountered with the most appalling attitude and no sense of customer service.

I will not be going back to The Eagle, or recommend anyone else do so. Such a shame for a restaurant we've always enjoyed until now.
