What Georgina B doesn't like about The Eagle And Child Inn:
Booked a table for my dad’s birthday with family as we offen do. Have been going for years and have always had lovely food. I ordered the special, Lamb Henry for just under £20. What I got was a large salad bowel full of sauce (soup) couldn’t see the lamb and was served with mash which dissolved in a couple of minutes and no other veg. Looked so terrible that I sent it straight back (something I never do) and asked f... View all feedback. What User likes about The Eagle And Child Inn:
characterful pub, the front beer garden is a beautiful location with views of the river. there is a very good beer selection with local ales.

Nestled in a cozy setting, The Eagle Child Inn showcases charm with its unique decor and warm atmosphere. While the bar boasts a commendable range of ales, opinions on the food vary significantly. Many diners found the meals underwhelming, with issues ranging from lukewarm scampi to soggy fish and chips. However, standout dishes like the steak ale pie and homemade sticky toffee pudding found favor, suggesting potential for culinary success. While some patrons were pleased with their visit, others expressed hope for improvements. The welcoming staff and inviting ambiance remain consistent highlights, encouraging future visits.
