The Eagle pub is a traditional pub with a dartboard and a pool table. There is a good selection of draught drinks and a hand pulled cask conditioned real ale which was in excellent condition on my visit. There is outside seating at the front and back of the pub, and the staff are friendly and welcoming.

Visited for the first time with a friend, not sure if they served food as we were only there to have a few drinks and play some pool, the pool/darts area was pretty small, to the point of not really being able to take a shot on the table because the wall was in the way but aside from that the atmosphere was pretty chill (it was a Monday night lol) drinks not a bad price either and I took advantage of the 2 for £6 on bottled beer

Worst pub, drinks were disgusting, bar maids were arguing behind the bar whilst serving, someone accidentally broke their glass and the barmaid had a go at him. We went into watch the sport as advertised and music was playing the whole time and could barely hear the sports even when we asked if the sound could be turned up. Barmaids were very unaccomadating. We ordered 3 shots that were disgusting that solidified that turned into a paste that was jelly like, felt like we were being poisoned, there was no customer service or compassion and the priority was them sitting on their phones. Not surprised this pub was quiet for a Friday night. Never going back again.not a nice pub atmosphere was appealing it’s not somewhere to go unless they change the entirety of the place !! Do not get drinks from this place unless you dont mind feeling poisoned, buy drinks at your own risk!!!

Post-refurbishment review. Since the refurb there are some good things, and some not so good things.
The good things are the décor is improved, the toilets are very, very, much improved. The quiz is back, which is a positive.
However, it has to be said, for this reviewer, The feel of the venue is spoiled – previously it was a pub with a ‘homely’ feel. the multiple TV screens with football on all the time are a turn-off, whatever direction you look – there’s either a screen, or a screen reflected in a window.
And, the biggest issue is loss of the seating with the changed layout – there are now not enough seats in the bar area. Seating has been removed in favour of relocating the dartboard – however the area it’s been moved to doesn’t support a correct length oche so it’s now wasted empty space.

Since it's been refurbished it's so much better only issue is the mens toilet entrance is a bit of a pain being in the pool room
Can't work out why they didn't leave it where it was
Other than that place is great with great staff and atmosphere 👍

I think it's only fair to start this review and get straight to the point. I was very pleasantly surprised by how nice this pub is! From the outside, you get the impression it's a bit dpit and sawdust. How wrong I was!
Its layout is great with the 2 bars, a pool room, and a well designed garden patio area with covered seating and subtle lighting.
The place was extremely well looked after, cleared regularly, and this includes the toilets. The staff were very polite and courteous, so they added to the evening as a whole.
