"My friend and I went yesterday (27/09/23) for lunch. We 've not been there for a while. Nice atmosphere, cozy, super clean and beautifully decorated. We both chose the fish pie which was delicious, as was the accompanying watercress, pickled red onion and pea side salad. Rounded off with a lovely dessert and a cappuccino coffee, which was one of the best I 've had dining out in a while. It turned out to be a lovely, unrushed meal, enabling us to catch up without worrying we were taking up the table for too long. I would imagine though the evening and weekend trade would be very busy, which might put the pressure on diners. The staff were courteous and efficient. The only issue and in no way should this be taken as a complaint firstly the way the menu is priced is 'interesting ' and, secondly, a service charge is automatically added to your bill. Paying by card I didn 't notice this. I found out as I attempted to hand over a gratuity as I hadn 't noticed this info on the card reader. The young gentleman and I chuckled over this as what I wanted to hand over, was greater than the applied service charge. We will visit again. It was also nice to discover our trip there bore no resemblance to those negative experience reviews I 'd read before visiting."

"not sure who took over the newly renovated ship. the inner is beautiful, inviting real fire. on the first day of the opening. beautiful front of the house staff manager. I will be thinking directly at the point of my personal experience: I think the menu prices were very expensive, based on what we received. the menu is impressive. but personally did not speak so. closes small. tepid not hot, plates cold returned as microwaved perceived, but, fair enough it wasn't a fine dining room facility just unhappy had to be sent back because there were other problems, but the team consciously and feel confident that they respond. ground flour I think gives the impression of fine restaurants, but is only expensive pub grub, but cooked to house. did not notice paying, but eating was really not worth the money we paid, though okay. it was not to apologize for the money, not after anything. but the people go for a good meal, and it doesn't matter to pay for it. we all want a certain value for money. we're coming back. possibly this was all on the first day of the opening, and unavoidable to have a degree of toothing problems if no one knows that nothing is to be done with it."

"Wow, never thought I’d have to write a review like this about the Eagle! We’ve been going regularly since it’s re opening and love the place, always good food, great staff and welcoming manager which is why we specifically chose it for our daughters 18th birthday family meal. However, never again after an absolute horrific experience on what we’d hoped would be a very special night. Our daughter wasn’t allowed to buy a drink as she had no ID and nor was I as her father by order of the manageress. We asked for the meal to be put on hold while we went for ID and actually set off only to be called back by the rest when told it would only be put on a hot plate and would be spoiled as a result. On the next round of drinks for the table we ordered for our daughter but within seconds of the drinks arriving the manager appeared and threatened us so aggressively that if we did it again she would remove all alcoholic drinks from the table could she even do that? Despite us pleading the fact that it was actually the day of my daughters 18th and that legally she could have a drink in a restaurant within a family group from the age of 16, the manageress continued to act rudely, aggressively and totally unreasonably repeatedly claiming she was not risking losing her licence. On top of that, when we enquired as to where on of our starters was a waitress again very rudely and pointedly insisted we’d never ordered it, only for it appear seconds later via another waiter almost before she’d finished her outburst. Needless to say the atmosphere was completely ruined for what was supposed to be a one chance only memorable evening. As much as we love the place we don’t intend to set foot in the place until we are certain any of the previous managers are back in place, the current one hopefully having been trained in the art of politeness, customer relations, customer service, pragmatism, empathy and good old common sense and doing the right thing even then we’ll think long and hard about returning. She had no right to do what she did morally, legally or ethically and I hope that she has deeply reflected upon how she ruined a young girl’s big night and how she would have felt if that had been her. If it had’t been such a special occasion we all, as a family group, would have just got up and walked out having been treated as we were. Sort it out please The Eagle, you’re too good to be defined by this!!!"
