The Eagle opened in 1991, and its instant success sparked young entrepreneurs to move into down-at-heel pubs and transform them into pine-and-terracotta joints serving wholesome nosh, real ale and even offering some decent wines. The Eagle still feels like a pub. It may be stripped down but it is not spruced up and equal weight is given to those who just wish for a drink (which may account for the difficulty in obtaining a table). Should you manage this, the food is usually worth waiting for. A smoking chargrill despatches swordfish or tuna fillets with a minimal dressing of oil and herbs, and with a simple accompaniment of spinach and new potatoes. Pastas, stews, casseroles and salads all feature on a menu that changes twice daily, the accent being on Iberian-influenced specialities such as bacalhoada (baked salt cod and potatoes with green peppers, garlic and bay), or fabada (an Asturian butterbean and pork stew). Good beers and a few earthy wines - including a Portuguese white - are on offer.
