The Eagle

With their Scotch eggs, flock wallpaper & fancy-pattern fabric, Geronimo Inns are seen as formulaic by some drinkers. Others love the group’s idiosyncratic refurbishment of Victorian boozers such as The Eagle – & it’s hard to argue with a packed pub. Here you’ll find one of the best beer-garden lawns in west London, with barbecues, shady terraces & bean-bag covered grass making it an exceptionally appealing option come summer. In winter, the cosy interior, hearty British grub & log fires are an attractive proposition too. Uncomplicated pub food is the menu’s mainstay: the likes of chicken-liver parfait, smoked trout pâté, a beer-cooked half chicken with green beans, & chocolate brownie. Service is eager to please, & there’s plenty to pique your interest on the hand pumps & the wine list.
