Eagle & Child in South Ribble

Interesting 16th century pub next to St Andrews Church in Leyland town centre Worth a visit

First time eating. Popped in for lunch. Very very good. Polite staff. Sorry didn't take pics, so will have to revisit

great pub and really good food been a couple of times now and the food never disapoints

Just sampled the all day breakfast and I would highly recommend a visit! The food is excellent the people very welcoming and all in all a traditional English pub….not a Witherspoon!! Make it your next night out.

Love this old pub. Food is amazing! Great friendly atmosphere.

Visited the other day for food and drinks. The food was amazing. We were all very surprised by how nice it was. Service was a little slow but it was very busy. I also got served a Guinness in a Strongbow glass and being Irish this is sacrilege 🤣🤣 very nice pub will definitely be bag

This is a lovely place to go for a family pub meal, they are very welcoming and friendly. Dog friendly places. The food is wholesome and made with love, you can almost taste it.

Absolutely amazing food. Ordered “lighter bites” for lunch and the portion was a good size. Wasn’t sat for a long time waiting for food everything cooked and served to absolute perfection. Not to mention the staff all very lovely especially one lady we spoke to a few times very friendly and just genuine nice person. Will definitely be coming back soon.

Really nice meal. Marina the chef takes great pride and produces quality food. Absolute diamond!

How we have never been here in the years I've lived in leyland I don't know but me n hubby love it you can also take dogs too food amazing and have offers on as well which is a big help to people wanting a reasonably priced meal out xx

It was good food, reasonably priced. Staff were really friendly, shame about the group of people in the beer garden who were swearing and being rather loud (had kids with us) but we won’t let that taint our experience. Would recommend definitely.

Absolutely love this place wish it was closer to home I would be there all the time

Really nice place. They do not put the correct opening times on their website. Lots of lessons meaning most of the time you can't swim in the week

Great inside and great outside. Well priced drinks. Will be back

Lovely pub, very cosy, great deals with £3.50 a pint Mon-Thurs 12pm-6pm, daily meal & drink specials for £11.75, 30% off all other meals in June and fabulous new outdoor covered area with covered stage ready for outdoor live music from mid-July 2024 x

Good food, excellent Ale. Staff were helpful, and friendly! Landlady was very knowledgable about the pub, and the Brewery she also was very freindly! Reasonable weekday lunchtime!

Awful staff,very rude - especially middle aged male with brown beard. Food took 40 minutes to come and half had to be left as it was barely warm. Sort your staff out! Such a lovely pub going to ruin recently

Lovely meal the cook was rushed off her feet but kept telling us updates on our food and was lovely called marina a credit to the pub would deffo return thankyou !

I am a really fussy eater. I expect good food at a reasonable price, I must admit out of the last ten places I have visited in the past, I haven't bothered leaving feedback because I normally just don't bother visiting again. This Pub Is The Best In Layland... Must visit for food, Drink and Atmosphere. Never mind the reasonable price. One warning though.... The place is a Time trap.

I booked a able for nine people on a busy bank holiday . We were all seated together comfortably and with plenty of space. The staff were all friendly and helpful and the food was hot, delicious and beautifully presented. We will definitely be booking again and know it is also dog friendly so we can bring our dog next time as well.

In for a funeral, what more can you say, beer good, food excellent, shame it was a funeral

The food is absolutely beautiful here it's worth paying a visit to this pub

Phoned up day before. I was told I didn’t need to book just turn up. We arrived at 17:45. Ordered food it wasn’t busy at all took an hour for food to come. Only 4 people. Food was ok but the wait for it spoiled the experience as people were drinking on an empty stomach. We then tried to order dessert just to be told kitchen is closed. What a waste of time we won’t be going back the chef was still walking around the pub in his chef uniform. Why would a pub sell food then not check if you want desserts. By this time we had two other family members join us who wanted dessert at the same time as us. Two women behind the bar that didn’t seam to know how to use till system. Kept looking at till receipt like they were unsure of price and saying someone had been overcharged. I think more staff training is needed. Because you’re loosing customers. We always go out for dinner on a Thursday bill is usually £150 with drinks. They won’t be getting that again.

Never been inn before food was lovely and best thing didn't feel uncomfortable very welcoming staff

We had a wonderful time, very busy (so please book if you want food) we did go on st Patrick's days plus Manchester and Liverpool football match but that's two reason why we went, the third was a belated mothers day meal. when we arrived they had no table ready for us which we had booked the day before, but they worked so hard to get one ready for are party as we needed a high chair and not much room with so many people in the pub watching football. The food was fantastic like every time we have been in before ( we have been 3 times in the last 3 weeks )pleased to say we really like it each and every visit. Also I just want to say thank you for a wonderful delicious and hot meal and your very welcoming smiley staff .

The food is really good and the atmosphere is amazing. Would definitely reccomend

It was a very good night we stayed till closed and staff are very friendly. The atmosphere was great and would definitely recommend

Lovely atmosphere,staff & food would definitely recommend.

Friendly staff, great food, top service

Great pub friendly atmosphere try the new food menu including special offers

Great atmosphere staff lovely customers are friendly and we dined here tonight had the kebabs of the new menu really good…. This is definitely down as being our local in the future

Went for tea and tried the mixed grill with a peppercorn sauce. Great value. Everything was cooked and presented well. Others tried the burgers, again tasty and fresh. Definitely returning. It has a nice chilled vibe and is dog friendly.

It has great varieties of food. The food is delicious. They have pool and darts to play. Dogs are allowed in. The staff are really nice. It's easy to get to.

Always a good atmosphere, friendly staff and good food!

Just enjoyed a lovely family lunch at the Eagle & Child. Food was amazing and exceptionally good value for money. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Lovely cosy atmosphere. I would definitely recommend a visit.

Took sons for lunch in their lunch hour having been assured the food would come out in good time. They had 15 to eat before the lunch hour was over. Saying that the food was very good.

Eagle & Child is one of the oldest pubs in Leyland & also one of the best family friendly local pubs you'll find if you've never been to this pub before. If this sounds like your kind of pub to drink in or have a meal then come on down to Leyland i can highly recommend this pub. i rate this pub 10/10 its excellent indeed.

It's really quite a tired building now, in need of some TLC. But the welcome you recieve is very warm and welcoming.

Absolutely brilliant Pub . Food is amazing staff very friendly and there is a warm atmosphere . Great beer too

Lovely place always a warm welcome good selection of beers to choice from great hosts nothing too much trouble great place for food

We attended the eagle for our annual over 65s Christmas lunch, The food was outstanding. The atmosphere and environment, the energy from the team made a lot of our local community very happy. Merry Christmas!

I'm sorry to say, this has been one of the worst pub meals we've had in the last few years. We've not been here for the last year or so after moving out of the area, but have had some decent food in the Eagle & Child in the past. Today 06/12/23 was absolutely awful. We waited over an hour for the food to arrive, but when it ( Hunters chicken for three of the meals) finally turned up, it was over cooked, unable to be cut with conventional knives, bacon was as black as the sole of your shoe (and just as tough). You need to do far better than this to tempt us back.

We recently came in for food , the food was lovelly a great variety on the menu for all requirements, really nice friendly relaxing atmosphere, polite friendly staff, and lovelly couple who run the pub, be back soon for christmas dinner 😁

Great food fast service great atmosphere

Best pub in Leyland and the surrounding area. Great choice of food and drink. Kids very welcome and our family pooches. Fabulous staff. Traditional, cosy and welcoming 🤎

Would rather drink in a s*** hole than experience the c*** customer service from the intoxicated land lord for walking through the door again.

I visited this pub tonight. On entry the owner screamed asking for my groups IDs , this was very embarrassing. I could tell the owner, Phil, was intoxicated. I believe this due to the state he was in and that he was acting like this infront of a full pub. Bare in mind 3/4 of the party have been here multiple times as they are locals. Due to sheer embarrassment we left the pub without showing our IDs.

Still a friendly pub but has lost alot of the regulars for some reason - not sure needs some more choice of decent ales (I know it's tied to Marstons)!

New to the area Been in a few times now for drinks, Good pint, not met landlady but the bar staff are very friendly an helpful on info I've asked for, will defo be going back regularly... Dave

My wife and I plus a daughter had lunch and the food was first class. In particular I have to say the chips were absolutely delicious - not chunky nor "skinny fries". Its a very, very long time since I enjoyed chips so much.

Best Pub in Leyland, always has been, always will be. Been my local for since the late 80's. Great food, Great Ale, Friendly people, Family friendly, nice garden, parking, great Sunday Roasts, all day breakfasts and steak n ale pie, not many people know how great the food his, so it's easy to get a walk in without booking 🍻 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Brilliant land lady. Great atmosphere and service. Will definitely be back

A nice little friendly pub with great beer with a reasonable price also with a good Haunting history for all you ghost fans out there also with excellent quality of food with a short waiting time and friendly locals with a verity of drinks and meal including their house beers. It's also child friendly also has a good sized beer garden where you can some and/or vape and to drink and eat upside it really is a fantastic place for a night out or just for a quiet drink also the staff are very approachable and patient it's always been clean and tidy and also when you have a meal there the ale is fantastic in my opinion such a lovely draft also it's not really a good place for parking as it's in the middle of the town centre but it's close to plenty of takeaways which is always good. I have been going for years now and haven't had any trouble with any locals I really do suggest that you give the Eagle and child (the bird) visit also to toilets are always have been clean and tidy and easily to access and they have a down stairs toilet facilities for people when struggle to go upstairs and table services are pervided also including live bands pool and darts and did I mention the ghost history behind the the Eagle and child?? Then ask the locals they will tell you all about it and its also dog friendly.

Cold pub with doors open! Atmosphere during day poor. Music too low volume. Didn't feel comfortable. Shame, I used to go in all the time in the 90s, not as good now. Outside area ok to sit in Spring/ Summer. Prices a little high.

Only popped in for directions, were very helpful. Let us use the toilets too. Looked a lovely homely pub

Plate for my mixed grill was way to small nearly £15. Hardly any chips , because there was no room. 😔

Friendly staff, quiet pub, meals 5/10

Decent selection of beer. Nice atmosphere 👍

Came in for the first time. Absolutely brilliant pub. Old 16th century pub with original features. Great beer garden out the back for a sunny day. Lovely staff. Can’t wait to return for food

Lovely atmospheric pub. Great quiz and perfect location

Nipped in and out for a quick drink

Love this pub...great atmosphere... original, warm n welcoming 👍

Upon entering at the bar we were warmly greeted by cheerful staff and superbly looked after during our stay. Great selection of beers and larger. Buffet food was appreciated as were the chip barm

Good pub, very busy day visited. 4 well kept real ales on tap. Did not eat but looked nice food, being served. Car park across from the pub.

Food finishes early so be careful

Ordered food here and am really sorry to say we were so disappointed. Party of 5 and the kids meals were awful. Everything deep fried i could literally squeeze the grease out of the chicken dipper! . Jacket potato was hard and chilli tasteless. Real shame as I haven't been for a while and sadly won't be returning.

Lovely atmosphere no matter what time you go in. Staff friendly and helpful. Good range of food and freshly cooked. Dog friendly and friendly clientele. Well worth a visit

Good food. Nice staff who are very friendly. Very reasonable

Visited here last week, brilliant pub with great stuff going on in the local community. 4 Cask ales available and a great range of lagers too

Love going to the Eagle and Child our bike club meet every month , lovely coffee and excellent food most of us have a meal at the meeting .

Great local pub. Been going there since 1980's. Under great management with fab staff,very friendly. Superb value meals and excellent choices. Good selection of beers.

First time in years I've been back here. 4 well kept cask ales on, all from marstons range. I had the mixed grill excellent choice on the plate very reasonably priced too

Popped in for lunch yesterday with our dog. Excellent food at a great price. Lovely friendly atmosphere, thoroughly recommend.

Great pub! Dog friendly, perfect pint and delicious food! What is not to love !

Tasty food at reasonable prices and welcoming staff. A great pub.

Landlady has an appalling attitude. Not been in for a while so thought we would give it a go. Not many people in for a bank holiday weekend now I know why. Certainly won't go back in a hurry. Seriously need to change your attitude towards paying customers, so many other pub's in Leyland with welcoming hosts.

Lovely pub with a great atmosphere and friendly staff .There is a large menu with a wide variety of meals .Our meals were served piping hot and tasted delicious .We will definitely be back when we are in the area

Great pub, awesome selection of ales and food. Very friendly staff and great atmosphere.

Fantastic pub, great food, great staff, landlord and lady so welcoming. Quiz nights and bingo nights so much fun, look forward to Wednesday(bingo) and Thursday nights(quiz)..

Only had a drink but a lovely pub

Amazing food and drinks really polite

A traditional family pub, with friendly staff, only been in a few times, but customers both old and young happy to engage in conversation and make you feel welcome, an excellent night !!

Nice pub. Pros: good outside area, pub quiz, food, dog friendly, pub quiz, old fashioned aesthetic. cons: food stops very early, pub quiz goes on very late for a Thursday, not very good non-alcoholic beer options (just Heineken).

Fantastic old fashioned pub with a lovely garden, great food and friendly people.

Fab food. Really enjoyed the coleslaw. Great service. Great local.

Had a fabulous lunch here today for 5 people plus some naughty desserts. Great food, fab service.

Excellent pub, friendly staff very helpful

Delicious Sunday roast beef dinner!

Great food and drink option. Lovely atmosphere. Will definitely be back

We came here for a Sunday lunch in early December of 2021 and covid measures as required at the time were in place and all good. We had the sunday roast which was good. The surroundings of the pub is really lovely as it is clearly very old and retains its character.

The pub was very quiet when we paid a visit to get food & drink. Barmaid advised us that they stopped serving food at 5.30pm - giving us just 25 minutes to order from the menu. Food was of average quality which probably explained why there were no other diners. Probably not going to bother with any revisit following this disappointing visit.

It was ok but nothing that stood out with pub. Had a weird smell due to the ales I think.

Absolutely the go to pub in Leyland. A proper community local with a decent selection of real ales. Every time we have ordered food it has been top quality. Quiz night and play your cards right on Thursdays which is always busy and full of laughs. I see that some decking has been built in the garden, hopefully there’s some live acts on this summer. That’s what I like about this management couple, always raising the bar, keep up the good work.

My local pub and the only go to pub in leyland. Lovley friendly staff ,landlord and landlady. Really tasty food my daughter will especially vouch for this. Great variety of lagers and real ales. Live music,quiz nights and the legendary chase the ace game with massive jackpots and best of all 8 FREE PINTS when you win the raffle. Play your cards right is.one of my favourite games which runs on quiz night. All in all this is a lovley traditional warm and welcoming establishment where if you visit you will most certainly come again.x

The food was top notch and well presented will definitely go again

Always good food at reasonable prices. Helpful and friendly bar staff and a good choice of drinks.

Friendly, efficient staff, value for money, sun-trap beer garden, animal friendly, parking, and excellent food with something for every taste and every wallet...what more could you ask?!😁😁😁(photo us hot roast beef baguette with fried tomatoes and onions with gravy and a small side of chips..£5.00!! Worth every penny 🤤🤤🤤

Good pub food, pleasant landlords, always a good welcome. Dog friendly.

Good food and very pleasant bar staff 🙂

Food only served til 6pm. Young customers-90%.Not my cup of tea
