The eagle and child a few months ago had amazing food, probably the best steak in the area. We visited this week and we're disappointed with the food, the fish was double fried which was really crispy but the interior mushy, another dish was the chicken burger which it was great to see 2 fried thighs but these were really greasy. It was as though no time had been given for them to rest before loading them to the bun or serving, it wasn't nice at all. Only because of the first few experiences and the lovely staff can I say the rating is a 4/5 ... the latest visited is more 2/5 also because the menu was more limited and lack of beers and ales available.

We came here for a meal, 3 adults and 2 children. We had a lovely table, tucked away in the corner which was ideal for a catch up chat and to play some games at the table. We were warned that the food may be a little delayed due to a busy dinner service which was good to know but in fact, we didn’t wait too long at all. Our server was Troy and what an absolute pleasure it was to meet him, beautifully welcoming, exuberant and very attentive throughout our visit. Nothing was too much hassle and even though it was a busy evening, we didn’t wait long for anything. We also had two dogs with us and he told us where the dog biscuits were and was attentive to them also. We ordered from the children’s and main menu, all food was delicious. One steak was slightly overcooked, still very delicious, but as such, the team offered us a complimentary pudding to make up for it and were very genuine about how they dealt with the issue. We believe, the manager, approached the table to take our order and when we planned to order one pudding between us, she kindly offered us another to try and advised it would be on the house, a really lovely touch. The 2 puddings and some ice creams and again, the desserts were delicious. All round, a lovely meal, great atmosphere and made very lovely by the staff.

The managers Troy, Kendal, and staff are attentive, well-dressed and well-groomed They are responsive to their customer needs, provide good customer service that is both courteous, prompt and quick, checking on their customers often; they make the 'dining experience' more personal, and are always willing to go that 'extra mile'. The food is of a high quality and has a good flavour, aroma, appearance, and texture. The Eagle and Child is a 'must' visit, you will not be disappointed! Ho can you improve on perfection..................YOU CANNOT!!!

Eagle and child is a lovely pub/restaurant inside and out, large outdoor seating area with covered teepee (presume used during summer). Lovely food, great service. A little more expensive than average but the quality more than makes up for the price. Beers a little expensive again but exceptionally clean lines and great taste offset it to a degree Will definitely be visiting again.
