Packed on a cold and wet Saturday night, the atmosphere was lively and noisy even, as the footy was on. Service was incredibly charming and attentive, and we were quickly settled in and ready to feast.
Started off with the Mac & Cheese Croquettes. Cheesy on the inside and crispy on the outside, it was a good start to the night.
For mains, we had the Parma, Beef Cheek and the Pork Belly. The Parma was just alright; I would have liked the chicken to be a bit more moist. The Beef Cheek, on the other hand, did not have any issue with moistness; it was succulent and full of flavour. The beef cheek sat on top of a bed of black garlic mash, which had lent a lovely earthy flavour to the dish.
Now, the Pork Belly. It was simply amazing. That crackling is the stuff that dreams are made of. May I also add that this piggy had the perfect ratio of crispy crackling, thin layer of fat beneath the crackling and oh so tender meat. The rhubarb, and kohlrabi and kale remoulade did wonders to cut through the richness of the pork. Could have done without the matcha crumb though. It did nothing to add to the flavour or the texture of the meal.
A delicious meal that left us feeling very full and satisfied indeed.

We visited Spread Eagle Hotel for a late Sunday lunch and trivia. Of course being a pub, you cant go wrong with a veal schnitzel and mash. The serving was quite generous (although tbh, we may have slightly over ordered on the snacks). The mash was soft and fluffy, full of flavour. I could have eaten a whole bowl. I also really liked the pickled cabbage that came with it, a bit tangy which freshened up the dish. We ordered Mac and cheese which was okay but not as soft and cheesy as I hoped it would be. All in all, solid pub with good food and service and great atmosphere.
Came for a parmi night and had the Meat Lovers Parmagiana – boy was I surprised at how HUGE it was – but I guess being a pub meal this is often the case. The parma was pretty good (chicken could have been a bit more moist) but this was made up by the oozey melted cheese on-top. I was glad that I opted for only salad on the side as the goliath Parma was overwhelming – but suitable for anyone with a serious appetite.
I didn’t drink or really stay too long as I was pretty hungover when I came here (to be honest) but I recall the ambience being pretty cool – your average pub atmosphere.
