About Spread Eagle
Typical Victorian-style pub offering a range of beers and wines as well as a gastro menu.
A 19th Century wood panelled pub which has been expanded to include a former retail premises. Situated on the corner with Parkway, the pub has several linked but varying drinking areas, together with outside bench seating. Food is served seven days a week from 12.00 - 22.00 and late afternoons there can often be special deals available. At lunchtimes it attracts the office worker crowd which changes as the day goes on.
Back in 1973, there were only around 115 premises recorded as selling real ale in London. Although that number has grown many fold, sadly only three quarters of the original number still exist and are selling cask. But the fact that there are still some and that this pub is one of them is a cause for celebration.

The venue is great and the staff are lovely but unfortunately the food is bad. I ordered the sausages, mash and gravy and was absolutely shocked by the gravy. It was genuinely stock water, it was clear, thin and flavourless and it was like pouring water onto my meal (see pic). Mash wasn’t great either. Sausages were great. I asked a waitress if the kitchen could thicken it up or make some new gravy and the chef just put cornstarch or flour into it making it clumpy! It shocked us all that the chef couldn’t make a gravy and it’s actually embarrassing. I ended up using ketchup to just sauce up…

Two years ago, we had one of the best roast dinners I've ever had in this pub. Unfortunately, the quality of food has taken a nose dive since then. We recently went back for a Sunday roast and we're very excited based on our previous experience. It was absolutely awful, bordering on inedible. The meat was chewy and raw in the middle. I don't mind some pink in the meat but this was ridiculous. Veg were tasteless and badly cooked also. Gravy was thin and flavourless water. This place seriously needs to reconsider who they have cooking their food. I would never chance eating here again. I had…

Lovely staff and good selection of drinks. They offered us free unlimited lemonade as it was a hot day when we visited the pub. We haven’t tried the food, so unfortunately I can’t say anything about it, but the drinks were as expensive. Good atmosphere, good size for the garden especially as the pub is in London. We’ll be back here whenever we’re visiting London again.

Great pub! Watched the quarter final and final of the Euros in the upstairs room. Great atmosphere with plenty of seating and space to stand all with good views of the screens. Best scotch egg I have ever eaten, ordered another! Very good selection of pints. Big thank you to Cam and the rest of the amazing staff!

Had a spot of bangers and mash here before exploring Camden, it was the perfect start to the day.
