Spread Eagle in Camden

Deserves to be cleaned or even renovated

In response to the reply from the ‘owner’: this was absolutely the correct pub I’m leaving a review for, The Spread Eagle on 141 Albert Street! This is a genuine review. We walked in and straight back out of this pub, we wanted a drink after having food out and the place was utterly disgusting… stunk like maggots and was super dirty. Can’t imagine touching a drink or food from such a dirty and smelly establishment! 🤢 Needs a complete overhaul!

Solid pub in a quieter part of Camden with ice cold Neck Oil on tap. You could do much worse.

Great pub, best in Camden by far. Food and service is amazing and the manager is very hospitable, you can see she runs it very well. I will be back soon! Highly recommend

Hired the upstairs room for a surprise birthday party, the staff were really helpful and accommodating with decorations and storing a cake beforehand and we had a fantastic night!

Two years ago, we had one of the best roast dinners I've ever had in this pub. Unfortunately, the quality of food has taken a nose dive since then. We recently went back for a Sunday roast and we're very excited based on our previous experience. It was absolutely awful, bordering on inedible. The meat was chewy and raw in the middle. I don't mind some pink in the meat but this was ridiculous. Veg were tasteless and badly cooked also. Gravy was thin and flavourless water. This place seriously needs to reconsider who they have cooking their food. I would never chance eating here again. I had bangers and mash here also the day before we had the roast and that tasted decent but unremarkable. The gravy with the food was again ridiculously bad. A lot of pubs do bad gravy but the prices here would make you think that they could do better than your standard chain pubs. The wait time for the food was very long also which I wouldn't have minded if the food was good.

We came here for late lunch and overall I’d rate it as a bit of a tired pub! The service was good but the pub itself seems a little outdated/ not as cozy as others and the food wasn’t all that great in my opinion.

We visited on Sunday Roast lunch. Service was efficient and quality and size of the food (we all ordered roast beef) are very good.

45 minutes for a pie don’t go there if you’re hungry!! The beer was very good

I booked the upstairs snug for my best friends birthday. as she was over from Australia I wanted to make it special! From the start the staff were amazing, so helpful and accommodating. Everyone’s food was wonderful and the atmosphere was great with great music playing. Highly recommended.

Great staff, who are funny & often wise beyond their years. Beer is well-kept. Ambience bang-on. It's kind of the perfect pub, the best in Camden.

Had a spot of bangers and mash here before exploring Camden, it was the perfect start to the day.

Roast dinner was wonderful. The ladies hosting were kind and attentive. Would definitely recommend for a quiet lunch just a few feet from camden lock

Went with my disabled brother and other family for dinner. Found it hard to find somewhere that we could get his electric scooter into. A lot of the restaurants have steps up. Can't thank Bobby and Cameron in the Spread eagle enough. They organised a ramp to get us in and we're very helpful and kind. Food also very good. Great atmosphere also. All had a lovely evening.

System was down but the server was really helpful. Has outdoor seating that accommodate up to 4.

Drinks only, all ok but spoiled by security with attitude.

Lovely staff and good selection of drinks. They offered us free unlimited lemonade as it was a hot day when we visited the pub. We haven’t tried the food, so unfortunately I can’t say anything about it, but the drinks were as expensive. Good atmosphere, good size for the garden especially as the pub is in London. We’ll be back here whenever we’re visiting London again.

It's a vegan pub with a lovely atmosphere. I was part of a large group and we all got served fairly quickly. The garden area is lovely, especially in warm weather. The staff was nice and smiley and there was a good vibe on the Friday karaoke night. The decor is very nice but you can tell it hasn't been recently refurbished, just as you would expect from your average pub. The music playing was also good and in line with the pub's atmosphere. The food was varied and interesting although choice was very limited when it came to mains (see website for more details). I had the Beyond beef burger and despite not being vegan, I thoroughly enjoyed it, though the toppings were a bit scarce and the "meat" a bit burnt in places. The fries were tasty and not greasy at all. Shame they ran out of the fried aubergine at 7pm as it looked really good. Overall, all dishes looked tasty, though I didn't get the chance to try anything else. (I posted this review on other websites too)

Typical English food, delicious.

We booked the Eyrie and Snug upstairs for a reception for family and friends. The staff did everything to ensure everything was spot on. Could not have asked for more

Been a Regular for several years... Yes a favorite.. but have to say the vibe and atmosphere has changed, more relaxed and friendly not just me but all including Dogs...... The Food has changed also, I used to come in and was a bit hit and miss... however much has improved... I unusually take the Beef or Pork Belly on a Sunday, both are outstanding. Well done "Team Spread"!

Excellent food and beverage options, Sunday roast always my favourite. Wonderful staff, lovely manager, and always great atmosphere. I would recommend visiting this place. Dogs always welcome.

A great pub with very friendly staff and a nice selection of lagers. Great for watching sports as well. I will definitely be returning.

Great pub!! watched the finals of the euros with my friends. Good Vibe, Prachi provided exceptional suggestions, and the staff was outstanding as well.

Great pub, great selection of lager and great live sport!

Big thanks to Cam and the team, watched half of the Euro’s games there and the service and atmosphere was undeniably exceptional. The scotch eggs were a highlight of my visits to this glorious venue.

Great pub! Watched the quarter final and final of the Euros in the upstairs room. Great atmosphere with plenty of seating and space to stand all with good views of the screens. Best scotch egg I have ever eaten, ordered another! Very good selection of pints. Big thank you to Cam and the rest of the amazing staff!

Fantastic little pub! Been coming here for a while now and it’s quickly became a favourite for me and my friends. Always lovely service, Grayson goes above and beyond for customers and always does so with a smile :) always well managed, Hannah does a great job keeping the pub a warm, safe and homely environment!

Spread Eagle were kind enough to host a large group of us for 2 Euros fixtures this year. Great hospitality and a fitting venue to cheer on the team. Would reccomend and visit again!

Had a really lovely lunch. Staff were so welcoming and friendly. Food was delicious. Relaxed atmosphere. Easy to get a booking. Didn’t catch the name of our waitress but she was super nice and explained dishes etc. Will return!

Came twice to watch the Euros - excellent both times. Fast and friendly service, good atmosphere and lovely food. Would recommend to anyone in Camden!

Had a great time watching the football earlier this week. Great atmosphere, great staff and great service. Would highly recommend a visit.

Came for football, had a great time!

Top notch nosh, properly made cocktails, ice-cold beer, service is excellent and the atmosphere is lovely. A gem among the many pubs in Camden.

The venue is great and the staff are lovely but unfortunately the food is bad. I ordered the sausages, mash and gravy and was absolutely shocked by the gravy. It was genuinely stock water, it was clear, thin and flavourless and it was like pouring water onto my meal (see pic). Mash wasn’t great either. Sausages were great. I asked a waitress if the kitchen could thicken it up or make some new gravy and the chef just put cornstarch or flour into it making it clumpy! It shocked us all that the chef couldn’t make a gravy and it’s actually embarrassing. I ended up using ketchup to just sauce up the meal. The steak sandwich was super dry, the steak was just so well done and dry. I’d probably come in for drinks again but never again for food unfortunately.

No more...not good as I was a regular customer used to be... all London pubs will be like this...so pity.....

really nice roast and drinks! cute interiors too!

Stellar service from Louis, chuffed about visiting again!

Great service, great drinks, great vibe. Louis was fantastic - great to chat to and super attentive.

Hannah and team looked after us so well for our function in the upstairs space. Had a great time and hugely recommend hiring the space.

I loved this place when I was a young A&R. The food was mid and the service unkind. The highlightbis a young lady called rachell. I will be working near and will direct the young men as a present. Too many beta Camdonites. The poor girl.

If visiting Camden Town, it is easy to get distracted by pubs close to the station. This pub is less than a 5 minute walk from the station, but is usually quieter and easier to find a table to sit at.

Grayson was the best bartender we had on our trip! He was so welcoming and really made an effort to make sure that our experience was awesome.

So happy with the friendly service, how much they remembered who we were and how special they made my dog feel. Would defo come back and defo recommend!! Grayson was amazing!! Fantastic level of professionalism

Grayson was awesome and made me the best espresso martini evvvvveeerrrr

Grayson was awesome. He made our experience great and made sure to check we liked our drinks. 10/10 will come back.

Great service. Really friendly. Handy to be able to use the app for service.

Recently did a staff training week here and it was the perfect venue. Thank you so much to Hannah and the team for being generous, patient and kind.

Excellent service! Beautiful pub, just jp the street for the underground. Can't be beat!

I booked this place for my graduation party and the service was amazing

Great pub. Great service. Great beer. Will come back every week

Great pub just off Camden’s bustling street. The team are awesome, always up for a chat. Thank you spread eagle team we will see you again soon

We had the best waitress Grey, she was so on it, delivering our drinks which we ordered on the app, so convenient! We’d booked a table upstairs for an after work get together & we had a great time. Would recommend.

This used to be a gem in the middle of Camden, the seated area towards the front of the pub with the big window overlooking Parkway was a great place to sit and have a peaceful pint, even when it was busy. People just being mellow, chatting, in a really comfortable atmosphere. The last couple of times I’ve been in it’s been half empty with really loud music blaring, very weird, and a total change of atmosphere. Why the change? Shame really, it totally kills what was lovely about it, just turns it into another ordinary Camden boozer.

An iconic pub I had to visit. Friendly staff and great beer 🍻

It's always great to go for a Sunday Lunch so this was one to try, especially with it being so near to the Camden Road High Street. Unfortunately, the meat wasn't the best and the potatoes weren't well cooked. On the other hand however, the Guinness and other selections were amazing.

I wasn't in the pub furlong enough to make a judgement, but it was clean, had many spaces for drinking, booths, high rabies, dining, outside, there is a function room upstairs. Seems nice.

Great pub with an amazing atmosphere and fantastic team! Lovely food, good music and ambience! Thanks to Grayson and Hannah, you were fantastic!

Stopped on our london pub crawl with old work colleagues. Great service, and it's nice to sit and chat.

Me and my wife been here for sunday roast, the waitresses are simply adorable, the location nice and very tidy, the food amazing, we’ll be back 100% ! Mario&Angy

Nice pub atmosphere whilst not too noisy

Greystoke is an asset to the pub - thank you for great service.

Nice pub but …. Not cheap , and charging the SAME price for a shandy as a lager tops?!! Come on

Gray the bartender absolutely made the day for us. Love him, made amazing drinks for us and the service was excellent! Made excellent recommendations for the kinda drinks we were looking for.

What a lovely pub! Met a friend for a bottle of wine on Saturday I was served by Hannah who gave wonderful customer service, would defo come back x

We waited over 1 hour for the food wanted Sunday Roast Beef was told no beef so ordered 1 Chicken, 1 Burger, 1 Pork. Food was ok. Would not go back again

My favorite pub in Camden!! Love the drinks and fish and chips! All the servers are so friendly, especially Gray! Definitely a great place to spend an afternoon.

We keep coming back! The food is great, the staff is always super nice, and we love coming here. Drinks are also great!

This is our regular venue for a couple of drinks after we have worked really hard rehearsing. Its a great place with a great atmosphere for relaxing and chatting, and the staff are always welcoming and efficient - the service has improved tremendously since a year or so. (And so glad Proper Job is back on - shame about the price!)

Very good food and drink. Service by Grayson excellent. Highly recommended,

This is a lovely pub with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The food was good and turned up quickly which is important for a working lunch. Would definitely come again.

We walked past after taking my dogs for a walk up Regents Park. It did not disappoint. They are dog friendly which is great and they were really attentive. They had dog treats and water on arrival and really paid attention to them. I had a vegan feta and tomato baguette and my friend had a steak sandwich which he said was cooked to perfection. We will definitely be back as there is other vegan dishes I want to try. Thanks Spread Eagle.

Friendly atmosphere, good selection of drinks, shoutout to the bartender Gray, easily one of the best espresso martini’s I’ve ever had! Will defo be returning.

Spread Eagle became the main pub of our five-day holiday trip. Awesome place!

I recently visited The Spread Eagle and enjoyed its unique blend of traditional charm and modern flair! Being able to sit outside and enjoy the vibrant street scene of Camden was also a real bonus. I've added it to my barguide.london site too!

A very good experience, very tasty and elaborate food and exquisite service. I will be back

Great Sunday lunch . We had beef and pork in our group.Ale was excellent. Puddings to die for. Service first rate. Altogether a great experience

A visit after many years - fab welcome and service! Easy to bnook and we felt valued. The food was generally okay though the roasts would have been better with a smaller (and squidgier) yorkshire pudding, thicker (and more) gravy, and the roast potatoes were somewhat dry in the middle.

Very large pub in good location in Camden. Wide range of beers, function rooms upstairs (stairs are tricky for those with mobility problems, but that's unavoidable in buildings of this age); food looks decent if a little on the pricy side.

Great pub right off the Camden high street.

Cozy vibes! Gray behind the bar is always super friendly and excellent customer service! Give the boy a raise!!

Great ol school pub atmosphere. Good food

Nice little pub to escape the busyness of Camden's main road

Accidentally found this place that turned out to be one of the best lunch experiences in the city.

Absolutely lovely pie and mash, nice staff, proper pub atmosphere.

We didn't eat at the pub so I can't comment. However, the service was outstanding. We were welcomed by a warm and friendly young women he did LONDON and herself proud as she introduced my German student to arrange of beers. As for me I loved my 2 halfs of Youngs original. Thank you so much

Booked out their private area for an event, great service, really response team and everything was ready for us when we arrived. Perfect!

Gorgeous spot, great vibe. Grayson makes an incredible chocolate orange espresso martini!! Couldn’t recommend more highly. We’ll be back.

Our recent visit to Spread Eagle left us somewhat underwhelmed, especially considering the promising advertisement as a place to watch the 6 Nations. Upon arrival, the reality fell short of expectations. The television designated for the match was disappointingly tiny and tucked away in a corner, hardly providing the immersive viewing experience we anticipated. To compound matters, the management seemed oblivious to the importance of sound, as we had to request the volume to be turned on not once, but twice during our stay. After the first half, the music resumed, forcing us to seek out staff once again to restore the audio for the remainder of the match. Furthermore, the price of Guinness at £6.80 left us slightly taken aback. While we understand prices may vary regionally, the cost seemed steep, even by non-Yorkshire standards. In summary, Spread Eagle failed to live up to its promise as a premier venue for watching sports events. With subpar television arrangements and inconsistent sound management, coupled with relatively high drink prices, our experience fell short of the mark. Perhaps management could consider investing in better audiovisual equipment and refining their pricing strategy to align with customer expectations. Until then, we may have to seek out alternative venues for our sports viewing experiences.

Pre-booked a table with friends to watch one of the two six nations rugby games. The table was right next to the decent sized TV with good audio. We were upstairs which is the furthest point from the bar but they did table service and the toilet was a few paces away. Service was quick if you went to the bar and the app albeit confusing layout worked fine. Good portion of nice food and would come back again for sure

I love this cheeky little Camden pub! My team members stop by almost every week after work for a nice pint and bite! Grayson an epic and kind barman, is our favorite team member and keeps us coming back!

Really good pre-gig venue - couple of pints and good food. Efficient booking and service. We went early before a Roundhouse gig. Would recommend.

Had a fantastic time at this pub on a Friday night! The vibe was really good – lively and energetic. The atmosphere was buzzing, and it set the perfect tone for the weekend. The staff was friendly, and the drinks flowed smoothly. Whether you're looking for a chill evening or a lively night out, this pub nails the Friday night vibe. Can't wait to return for more good times!

Excellent food and service - Miquel is the man!

Best roast dinner I have had in ages. Lovely pub with friendly, attentive staff. Highly recommended

Wow what a pub! Came here for a few drinks and a something to eat with my friends after work and I could it recommend more ! Great service from Hannah and Mikel ! Would definitely recommend!

Amazing times at this pub in Camden. Great service. Great atmosphere. Thank you team!

Very nice pub in the heart of Camden, staff is accommodating and the food is delicious!

I booked out a few tables for approximately 20 people last night weekend for a birthday celebration and had an excellent time - great atmosphere, music not too loud, and staff really friendly :)

Great pub! …. Did not eat but had fab cocktails .Shout out to Greyson - spicy margaritas and brilliant service !
