Restaurant Review - The Eagle

The first “gastro-pub” and still one of the best.  The Eagle serves down-to-earth, well-prepared dishes with a Portugese bent in a bustling setting.  The menu is chalked up on a board and varies daily, but an example might be well-timed lamb with rosemary, or penne pasta with kale and chilli.  Soups are hearty and excellent.  The main problem is that you cannot book, and even getting down here at 18:00 for the 18:30 start of food is no guarantee of securing a table.
