Happy 18th birthday The Eagle
The Eagle’s 18th birthday was marked by a few drinks last night with staff from over the ages gathering to take over the pub.
A great evening catching up with long-lost former colleagues, some of whom I’ve not seen for over 10 years! Sadly there were some who, given the short notice, could not make it - notably David Eyre, one of the original founders. Still, it was great to see those that did make it.
One thing that struck me last night was how the Eagle has not changed in the years that I’ve known it - going on 13! - This is a perfect example of a winning formula - but then they did create the ‘Gastro Pub’ genre.
Happy Birthday, The Eagle, you’ve come of age!

Marinated Leg of Lamb
Serves 6-8 depending on size of leg
- 1 Leg of lamb (butterflied)
- black olives or olive paste
- 2 Anchovy fillets
- Rosemary
- 5 Cloves of garlic
So simple to prepare and always a big hit, this dish was a useful one in our armory at the Eagle and is a perfect alternative to the usually dull bbq staples of sausages and burgers.
