The Eagle - Newmarket Road

The Eagle on Newmarket Road is a pub which I have always had a problem with. It has never been a pub for real drinkers, a lack of ales and more of a 'foody' feel have detered me from venturing there too often. However, the pub used to get away with it by having an outstanding restaurant but in the last few years it has undergone serious change. I'm not sure if it is because of new owners or just a change around from the managers but it has changed into one of these 'gastro pubs' where you will find middle aged women eating olives, thinking they are extremley cultured. The food has gone massivley downhill and the wine selction is poor. There is no ales on tap and only two lagers to choose from. The pubs attracts customers with a large garde, ample parking and new interior decoration, which I feel has taken away some of the charm that the building used to have. It is expensive and better for a coffee than any alcoholic drink. Not one I would recommend.
