The Eagle in Chiltern

Good for watching football, friendly staff.

A young couple have recently taken over running the pub and were most generous with their time telling me that they're aiming to make this the music destination for Amersham, which the place needs badly. Warmer days ahead so I'll be going to the fabulous beer garden soon! Go and support them

Nice pub in a quiet neighbourhood. Will be back next time for food.

Kiean, the new manager is super friendly, and very knowledgeable. The beer is cold and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. I would highly recommend The Eagle if you're looking for a good pint while you're in Amersham.

I called in the Eagle for the first time in early December 2023. I really enjoyed it. It was very friendly and welcoming, the people behind the bar were very chatty and as a stranger made me feel very welcome. The beer was very good, although it was a little more expensive than I am used to, but that didn't matter as I had such a great visit. There is plenty of parking, and a disabled space near the front door. There is no food available, there would be a lot of competition locally. It is a proper, friendly traditional English style pub. I will now always visit there when I am in the area. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Eagle to anyone. (It is in the old town)

Such a beautiful traditional pub. Cosy, friendly and great choice of drinks

I was walking my dog with my son last Saturday and saw the sign outside offering mulled wine and a mince pie. We went inside and were met with a very warm welcome from the landlady. Apparently, the mulled wine and mince pie offer was from the night before (for the Old Amersham Christmas Festival) but she still honoured the offer, which we really appreciated. Not only that, she was very welcoming to my dog (who can be quite reactive) and there were dog biscuits in a jar on the bar (for which she would not accept any money) and these came in very handy. Needless to say, all three of us enjoyed our brief visit to The Eagle. The pub is under new management and I wish them every success because the warm welcome and friendliness we received from the landlady is absolutely the essence of a good pub (and on that note, I cannot comment on the beer as we just had the wine, but I look forward to going back for a pint to complete my review!)

Really nice pub. Friendly staff. Dog friendly. You can enter from the common lane behind it and the main road. Beer was cold. Toby jugs were in evidence. Had a pleasant pint out in the beer garden and a good time was had by all. Even the dog impersonating a bird.

When pubs had character. This is the place to be, with a great publican and a great rear garden complete with pub cat!

Lovely little pub with friendly service but unfortunately they no longer serve any food !

unfriendly miserable dilapidated old pub with an energy vampire behind the bar

Small pub, but great for my Saturday, beer chug

Nice beer but quiet at lunchtime as they don't do food

Great pub, friendly people and love the pub cats

We love this pub - the lovelist food not what you expect of the pub and the lovely garden at the back which lead to the a small bridge into the local park. The staff was wonderful too.

If you want an authentic pub with a local feel then The Eagle ticks the boxes. It is simply a proper pub with quality beers served by warm friendly welcoming staff. What more do you want from a pub? The food offer is simple but tasty .. paninis, sandwiches and nachos a perfect supplement to a good pint. Plus it has a great garden overlooking the playing fields beyond. Perfect.

Warm and welcoming for a drink in an amazing building. The owners were very chatty.

Clean and tidy with good beer and friendly hosts.

A lovely clean pub with convivial customers and pleasant landlord and landlady.

A clean, relaxing and friendly pub with a lovely garden.

Recently been taken over so staff are making a big effort to win custum and its working

Stumbled on this ancient pub on a walk around the beautiful town. Lovely chat with the new licence. Lovely people do go

This pub has just been taken over by the lovely Vicki and Tony. It is so full of olde world charm, with lovely beams and sloping floor. It’s gorgeous, just so quirky! The atmosphere is warm and friendly and the garden is beautiful, with a little wooden bridge going over the river to the cricket pitch. Amazing location.

After Ludo & Arnaux had provided such a fantastic pub atmosphere and excellent food until moving on in January 2022, it is disappointing that the new management has totally misjudged the Old Amersham market. On Saturday evening, the nearby Elephant & Castle was full to the brim, but by contrast The Eagle had 3 customers and closed its doors at 8pm. One suspects that they may be closed for good shortly?

A very genuine pub, the real McCoy. Good honest dishes and excellent professional service. Very good value for money. Do not go if you like some jus dripped on your plate around a small pile of unsatisfying bits. Go if you want to experience a real English pub with real food, authentic atmosphere and nice bar. Very authentic pub atmosphere.

Christened their new coffee machine this morning - excellent coffee and service

A really warm reception from staff and the food was lovely, a really nice lunch

This is one of the best roast beef dinners we have ever had! The meal that came out of this very small kitchen would match any Michelin star restaurant. We can’t recommend this wonderful pub enough. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the chef cooks meals that are out of this world!

Really warm and friendly reception from staff. If you want five a five star experience go here. The Sunday roast wast exceptional. A genuine treat to find such a lovely place.

Great atmosphere with excellent beer served by friendly and attentive staff

Been here a few times for food and drink. Each time the food and service have been brilliant, me and my work colleagues have made this pub our weekly Watering hole as the beer is always tasty and enjoyable.

Excellent food freshly prepared. And not at all expensive. The building needs freshening up but the service is friendly. All round a good place to eat.

We had a lovely lunch in this relaxing pub. Really pleasant staff, delicious menu (especially the lamb kofta) and Tring beer. Excellent.

Super friendly service and great food. Can't wait to go back

Brilliant lunch at The Eagle. Genuinely best roast I've had in ages! Roast beef was superb as were the roasties, Yorkshire and particularly the massive chunk of braised cabbage. The service was also great. We were only visiting but I reckon I'd make the Eagle my local if I lived here.

Best pub in Amersham with welcoming staff who are always happy to help you 😀

Great beers, good wine, friendly staff, and simple well cooked food. Perfect for a quiet pint, or a good feed after a long walk.

Great fresh and tasty food. Lovely atmosphere and really friendly staff. Great with Kids too. Had a lovely lunch here today, and as the pub backs on to a playing field, was able to take the kids across too.

Great place to eat & drink, very friendly staff & reasonable prices, a very enjoyable afternoon.

This is a slightly odd review as we did not eat or drink at this pleasant little pub in Old Amersham. We came here on a sunny afternoon hoping to enjoy lunch in the pub garden. We asked the duty manager about the ingredients of the food offered on the menu as my wife has an allergy to rapeseed and palm oil. Sadly, virtually all the meals were prepared using these oils. The manager conscientiously checked each dish we enquired about and even tried to find 'workarounds' so that we could eat there. Unfortunately, this proved almost impossible and there was a further concern about cross contamination. However, the lady suggested that if we wished to dine there in the future we could call the day before and the kitchen would ensure a meal that my wife could eat safely. This is a rarely offered solution. I wish we had noted the lady's name to express our gratitude more personally and to let the pub proprietor know what a valuable and resourceful employee they have working for them.

Awful experience. We waited 50 minutes for our lunch which never arrived. We politly informed the manager who without an apologie brought over a wooden board with an opened can of sardines dried out bread, cold and disgusting looking onion rings with dried out ketchup. When we informed the manger that we did not order this he aggressively questioned us on what we did order. Needless to say we paid and left. Clearly this is not a pub that wants to do well but if you after a bit of slapstick fawlty tower comedy with a touch of food poisoning on the side by all means venture in. By the way when you check the reviews of this place on trip advisor many more had the exact same experience as us.

Great beer and service, lovely garden and pub.

Yeah cant fault the place. Has a great selection of beers on tap. Super friendly staff. Admit that the internal decor needs some attention, but see beyond this and this is a great little boozer

Such a friendly and amazing pub. On the beautiful Broadway Street and with a really nice garden at the back. Huge field at the back that can also be accessed directly. The food is great and served with a smile by the real friendly team. The owner himself came out and spoke to us and also told us he's got another pub at Wycombe. I look forward to visiting that on my next walk... And come here again too 🙂

Lovely pub in a great area. Back yard which has been done up recently looks great and the view out to the field in the back is great to sit and relax with a good pint. Keep up the good work

Lovely village and lovely location for the pub - backs onto a stream and cricket field. Old building with both inside and outside seating. We sat outside which was nice. Food was very average and not cheap. My wife enjoyed her beef burger, my lamb burger was "OK", but our friend sent her Sea Bass back (dealt with promptly and politely, I have to say) but I sort of expected more.

We went for lunch today. Well that was the intention. I had to ask to order food as the waitress didn’t come back for ages after she had given us our drinks. We both ordered fish and chips. An hour later, our food had not yet arrived. We asked the waitress and she went to ask the chef and then came back and told us that she had forgotten to give our order to the chef but if we wanted he could start cooking it now. We didn’t have time, as this was at lunchtime (!) so we said no thank you. I complained to the manager and he just said, yes well she forgot to order it and we did offer to cook it for you now. No apology, nothing. We paid for our drinks, left and will never go back ever again.

Tasty food and nice atmosphere. Worth visiting :)

This was our first visit to the Eagle in years and will probably be our last for some time. The inside bar was deserted apart from a bored pair of staff, clearly surprised that anyone might want a drink/food. Two attempts to get an order of three drinks correct was not a good start. The cassoulet was served tepid and having been returned to the kitchen managed to return lukewarm. When we pointed this out to the manager who cleared the plates there was a shrug of the shoulders. As we walked home we passed 2 other pubs that were packed - I wonder why the Eagle wasn’t?

Friendly service. A wonderful view in the outside bar area.

Great meals, great drinks and great staff. Very welcoming. I'm certainly returning. I had a splendid night out.

Came here for a meeting with some new clients and was disgusted by the attitude of the staff. This used to be a lovely pub and now seems it’s ran by a team who couldn’t care less about their customers. The man behind the bar was extremely aggressive when my client went to ask about food. I will not be coming here again nor recommending this pub.

Really disappointing! Very poor Sunday roast with just 2 carrots as the only vegetable! Shop bought Yorkshire puddings and thin watery gravy, Never again!

We had a party of three adults and three Children for Sunday lunch. The fish and chips looked good for the children and one had roast again good. My roast beef was good. The celeriac was very al dented and could have done with a little more flavour. The two waitresses did really well It was a nice afternoon

Well situated on the High Street in Old Amersham. Pleasant garden at rear with attractive view over field. Interior much less attractive. Not sure whether it wishes to be contemporary (eg television) or olde worlde (eg beams). Service only so so. Would not recommend.

Booked for lunch in the garden which overlooks the lovely Barn Meadow, accessed across the bridge over the river Misbourne. Not a huge menu choice but what we had (burger and chips) was very tasty! Meals that came out for other tables looked very good too. Excellent service by very pleasant friendly staff. Will definitely return.

lovely pub very nice staff spent a nice relaxed afternoon in the garden here whilst visiting the town. recommend a visit .

Nice location overlooking the cricket ground, nice setting, very friendly staff but really really overpriced food ! Although the focaccia was fresh, it had fresh pesto on it but to pay £7.00 for this one slice of bread is just too much

I've just had a beefburger with cheese from their barbecue, with chips, washed down by a half of Beavertown Neck Oil from the tap and the whole thing was delicious. Unlike most places, they had no problem doing the burger medium rare, in fact that's how they all come. My dog thoroughly enjoyed her sausage, brought to her chopped up in a bowl, without my asking. The manager and staff are really friendly and the décor is genuine Tudor.

Good food decent beer and a cracking little beer garden overlooking the cricket ground

We booked in the garden and found it pleasant as a group of three. Promote bar and food service from the friendly staff. The bar area looking out on Barn Meadow Was a nice feature. Looking forward to a greater choice of food and indoor dining.

We went out for a friends 40th had a nice night until James the manager decided to shut the pub as too quiet at 9.30pm for the benefit of his staff! Would we like a last drink, we said yes a cocktail but he said the bar had shut, we complained and he said we were offered a drink, not the one we asked for. The barmaid said we could go up the road for a drink. Really disappointed we spent £180 and an uneventful night! The manager is so rude and unhelpful, really wouldn't recommend. From experience I'm sure the bar will argue that they offered blah blah but really there was none of that! So disappointed!

Great atmosphere and food!, fantastic sheltered back garden space, leading onto a huge field. Really dog and baby friendly + fantastic staff!

Due to COVID restrictions only a bbq was available ( understandable) but choice was very limited 3 dishes only and no vegetarian option except a starter of bread and hallumi. I can easily understand that options are limited but this is too limited, not a salad or scrap of garnish on any plate. Staff were friendly and helpful regarding seating etc.

We visited The Eagle for drinks in the garden and will definitely be going back.The garden has been revamped and is perfect for relaxed drinks and something to eat with friends. All the staff were friendly and made us feel welcome.The food was really good and the drinks service was efficient and friendly. Loved the new Eagle!

Amazing cocktails, friendly staff and all round lovely atmosphere. Can't wait too return.

My husband and I booked to go to the Eagle for a couple of sunny Friday evening drinks and we were not disappointed! We were greeted quickly and sat at the high seats overlooking the cricket pitch which was a lovely view to enjoy a couple of drinks by!The service was friendly, efficient could not fault!... we also enjoyed a portion of fries (really wish we had dinner there as the food looked great!) Would definitely book again in the near future! Great work under current circumstances and restrictions!

Great food,friendly welcoming service Id recommend The Eagle to anyone

We enjoyed a delightful, relaxing lunch in the Eagle’s pleasant garden overlooking fields. Under fairly new management, this characterful pub has just re-opened its garden after lockdown and the menu offers an appealing selection of lighter and more substantial dishes, eg smoked salmon, ploughman’s lunch (recommended), beer-battered fish and chips, etc, plus desserts and cheese. All the dishes we sampled were fresh, tasty and nicely presented. The staff were very helpful and friendly. A most enjoyable visit. Hope to see The Eagle flourish this summer.

I booked this pub very randomly as I searched for a place that welcomed dogs. I must say I didn’t expect much (well, a pub with a beer garden innit), but we LOVED it. We visited on a Saturday and it turned out to be a BBQ day. The burgers were reaally good, nice crispy fries, delicious desserts made by the pub chef. Staff was really nice, attentive and friendly, they even gave treats to our dogs! I was surprised that this place wasn’t rammed on a nice and sunny Saturday, but I know I would come back again.

We had the most fabulous meal today, excellent service, wonderful views and if there is a better Scotch Egg anywhere I have yet to find it. Support local businesses!

Re-opened post 2020 Lock down 2. Give it a try. Sunday Roast is very good but given that we have to buy a meal with each drink, it is all good.

Excellent - great improvement on the past years, food is top drawer and beers well kept

The best pub and restaurant, food and service amazing

Been in Amersham just under 2 weeks and have found the Eagle to be the friendliest place in town.

Really nice small pub. Food was great and the guy who served us was really nice.

Excellent food at reasonable prices. Slightly limited choice but what they do offer is very good indeed. We keep going back !

New Owners, nice welcome, very friendly and lovely roast. Would definitely go again

Visited today as a family of three.We all ordered burgers- 2x adults and 1x childs. Disappointed is an understatement.£9.50 per burger PLUS £3.50 per portion of chips. £6.50 for children's burger and chips.After around 30-45minutes waiting, we were presented with three sad looking burgers- ALL THREE THE SAME SIZE. The burgers were small in size. The patty itself was tastey, and thick, however was no bigger than the palm of my hand.The waiter then bought our "sea salt" fries out to us- which my fiancée and I were sharing. After another 5/10minutes of waiting, there was still no sign of our son's chips. We quiered with the waiter, and the chef had completely forgotten about them. So 15minutes later, some piping hot, oil smothered, salt doused, ADULT portion fries were bought out to us.My son wasn't able to eat the fries, due to the ridiculous amount of salt on them. I will not be returning, due to the ridiculous pricing! £13 for burger and chips that is the same as a child's burger and chips.My advice is, if you want to order the burger woth a side of fries- just order the child's portion, it's the same sizs!

Just had the most delicious lunch on thus wet and windy Thursday Excellent burger , delicious fries and the tastiest chicken pie A welcome addition to Old Amersham

Love the food. Small portions of a great variety of flavours. The new English-French chef definitely makes a difference. Great team.

Traditional English pub that has adapted to the current covid regulations really well. The staff are friendly and helpful

We were so delighted that the Eagle had re-opended with new management with a great track record of the George & Dragon in West Wycombe. We've been in there four times over the last week sampling the menu and it's a brilliant fresh addition to the village.

Went for lunch in the garden and the quality of the food was very good! The staff were very friendly and professional. Would definitely recommend. Looking forward to going back.

The food was good, freshly cooked, the waiter was very nice and enough parking space outside on the High Street just next to the pub.

Very disappointing Sunday lunch, yesterday. The new landlord opened on Tuesday 1st September 2020. I had Fish and chips. The fish was smaller than a children's portion. It had very thick batter. Once the batter was peeled off the fish was approximately 5 inches long, one inch wide and very thin. I got a mountain of very nice chips but I would have liked a bigger portion of fish. Cost £9.50 but still poor value. The previous landlord David Hawkins charged the same but the fish was a proper portion. No peas yesterday! Not a problem for me as I don't mind The landlord needs to go to the Potters Arms in Winchmore Hill or the Harte and Magpies in Coleshill to see what is expected in this area for Fish and Chips. My husband had belly of pork. The meat was very nice but had a disappointing serving of vegetables. He had 3 small carrots, seared on one side. NB Burnt food is carcinogenic. A very large portion of red cabbage - not everybody's favourite vegetable but he likes it. He would have likes a bigger variety of vegetables for Sunday lunch. The landlord should visit the above mentioned pubs for Sunday lunch for ideas of what is expected.We were both disappointed with our lunch and felt dissatisfied. I eat very small portions and often order a children's meal but for once I was still peckish after my lunch as I did not want to fill up on chips. I only ate enough chips to match the portion of fish.We will NEVER eat there again. We will however probably call in for a drink.The attitude of the owner and staff was pompous and arrogant. They wish to educate we country residents, London ways. We have often eaten in London and had much more satisfying and good value pub meals

This is one of our local pubs and has very recently re-opened under brand new management. The decor has been freshened up and a bit of a re-vamp which makes it much brighter and welcoming. The staff are all very friendly, professional and helpful. However, the greatest improvement is the standard of food served .... it is, without doubt, exceptional and excellent value for money.We visited yesterday evening and it was reasonably busy for a newly re-opened pub, but the service was excellent.It is pub food cooked to perfection, please keep up the excellent standard!! The menu is not huge but it is varied and, as a very fussy eater, I believe there is something on it to tempt everyone. We chose four dishes to share as portions are served the size of a generous starter. We both started with the Teign Valley crab mayonnaise with apple and chive which is served with warm toasted sour dough, it was a fusion fresh and wonderful flavours. My husband then had the Eagle Mac 'n' cheese which was equally as tasty and topped with crispy onion pieces. I chose the Wild mushroom Arancini with wild garlic pesto which was delicious and better than any I have had anywhere. I can't recommend the food highly enough, it truly is first class.

Lovely and cozy pub! Gorgeous food!

Karaoke on Saturday now.. awesome.

I think Phil and Dave made a great team right upto the closedown In Jan 5th 2019 for refurbishment. My wife and I are locals waiting to go back to this old and refurbished pub.

Great place ,very welcoming. Nice.log fire

Great Sunday roast, lovely staff, beautiful old pub.

Lovely by the fire with a drink, the dogs walked into the pub!

We (three muddy cyclists) arrived last Sunday after a long ride looking for a few beers and a roast. A lot of pubs are sniffy about cyclists but they couldn't have been more welcoming, they opened up the storeroom so we could stow the bikes and got some cushions from the outdoor furniture for us to sit on so we could sit inside without getting everything muddy. We had the Sunday roast which was great value for a tenner, generois helpings and really good rare roast beef, very well cooked. The ale was also excellent, clearly well kept and also reasonably priced. Would happily have stayed there all day if we could. Cant recommend highly enough.

Great in the summer with river & fields out the back.

Excellent meal, good wine and service. Friendly

We are so glad The Eagle reopened. It has no-nonsense, down to earth, unpretentious decor but it is a proper local with a wonderfully welcoming and friendly staff. They actually know about beer and how to look after it (all too rare daaaaaaan saaaaaaaf). We regularly bring family and friends for excellent meals.Please support this wonderful gem of a pub

I had the best fish and chips I have had for ages. It included mushy peas and I don't like mushy peas, before I realised it I had an empty plate, Who knew that mushy peas could taste so nice? The quiz was good fun as well even though we didn't win.

Fish and chips and mushy peas were brilliant, so fresh and tasty. Quiz is good too.

First time visit. Great welcome and the most amazing sandwich. Looking for to returning for a quiz night soon.
