Eagle & Child

I Stumbled across the Eagle and Child while walking around near York Minister It's run by The Leeds brewery and they had a couple of their cask beers plus a couple of guest beers available. They also had a range of keg beers too. The pub also did food but I didn't try the food but what I saw being served looked good. The staff were very friendly as well. But, please! No more Phil Collins. I was ready to drink a whole bottle of York Gin to get over the pain 😂.

(This review is a bit late - our visit was 2nd March. Also posted review on Trip Advisor). I cannot rate this venue highly enough. We hired out the top floor for my boyfriend's birthday party. It was reasonably priced, & a great space, with a private bar included. The staff were so easy to deal with from the first email inquiry to on the day. We had sandwiches & chips which were lovely & brought our own cakes (which they found some candles for last minute as I'd forgotten them). Easiest 5 stars ever!!

Lovely pub, and food drinks and service were excellent. My first 2 choices were already off the menu so initially I was a bit disappointed but as soon as the pork tenderloin arrived all was well, it was delicious and no regrets! Chicken was also extremely good. Also very helpful comms re dietary requirements. Atmosphere was great too - having a drink in the front room and upstairs looked really nice. We were in the back which was fine but a little bit tucked away if you want a bit more buzz. The only slight negative point is it could do with a freshen up in places. New carpet in the back, bit of a scrub and decorating here and there would make it even better.

Very nice experience. We had Easter lunch with a tasty Sunday roast. They provided us a comfortable spot where it was easy to reach the accessible toilet and have the baby changed. They also provided us with highchair. Also, the position of the pub is a few steps from the stunning York Minster. Highly reccommended!

Visited October 2023: it’s not wheelchair accessible but my mum and two members of the public got my wheelchair up the steps and through the door. There is a wheelchair accessible toilet which is locked and uses radar keys which staff have if you’ve forgot yours or don’t have one. It’s a pretty little pub with an upstairs area too which I never saw. We didn’t eat here, just had several drinks. It’s dog friendly as I saw several pooches. There wasn’t ever a queue at the bar either and it wasn’t overcrowded despite us visiting on a Saturday PM

We visited as a couple and a dog for a Sunday roast dinner on 17/09/23 and we were all made to feel very welcome. The building was a nice and old little maze of nooks and crannies. We ordered a roast beef dinner and a roast pork dinner with a side of sausages in bacon and they were all perfect and the portion size was spot on. The only slight let down was the size of the dessert not quite living up to the menu description / price, I know that desserts rarely do, but couldn’t resist trying a Black Forest arctic roll. We’d definitely visit again for a meal but would get an ice cream from outside the minster next time.
