The Eagle and Child Inn

Our second visit to the Eagle and Child, we called in for lunch. Great parking across the road from the pub, we arrived just after twelve o'clock to a great welcome from the staff very helpful and friendly, she gave us the main menu and pointed out the specials on the board . we ordered our meals which arrived promptly and the food was hot and delicious, we had chosen our meals from the specials menu and both were good portions and good quality at a very reasonable price as were the drinks. well worth a visit. thanks again to staff

We had booked a table for 10 for 4pm. Finished our walk a little later than anticipated and fancied a drink in the beer garden before eating. Asked if we could delay for a while and they said we’d got a 2 hour slot and as long as the table was free by 6pm they didn’t mind. We ordered at 5pm, food came quickly and was hot and delicious. Didn’t feel at all rushed and easily finished for 6pm. The team couldn’t have been any more accommodating.

Not been for a while. Pleased it hasn't changed. Local beers, log fire, and busy. Four meals served efficiently by friendly staff. Good quality pub food. Glad we were not put off by the 2 previous reviews!

I called by recently to escape the rain whilst out walking. The fire was lovely and welcoming and so were the staff. It is a pity that the food didn't match up. I ordered the double hamburger with chips. The meat part was just a couple of poor quality burgers , not even birds eye standard. I ate most of it but put some in my pocket to give to the next passing dog i met. Everything else about the pub was lovely...the atmosphere, the location, the staff, the décor etc. It was the quality of the food that let it down.

This is the second time my wife and I have stayed here. You are made to feel welcome by the excellent staff. We stayed in room 5, maybe not the biggest room but a size that met our needs. Shower/toilet room was a good size with the shower being refreshing. The bed was very comfortable, with both of us having a good nights sleep. The breakfast was very tasty, with the sausages to die for, but a good selection of nice food. We decided to have our evening meal here as well and again, compliments to the chef, never a bad meal. On the Sunday full roast beef dinner very nice. All the staff we came across were very warn friendly to us which helped it being a good stay. One of the good things about this place that it’s dog friendly.

We arrived in Staveley on Monday eager to sample the only local pub and food. The place was closed. We hoped to eat there the next day. Drinks only from 5pm. We gave up for a few days and travelled elsewhere to eat. Thought we would try and get a meal on our final evening on the Sunday. We arrived at 7.15pm to be told that they stopped serving food at 7pm. Won't bother going to Staveley again.
