The Eagle Tavern in West Oxfordshire

This is a lovely pub, just as a local should be. The owner is very experienced in the hospitality industry and it shows. The welcome is warm and the Hook Norton beers are well kept. Where they knock the ball out of the park is the food. Fabulous home made generously portioned dishes. Just go, it’s a gem of a place.

What a gem!? Popped in yesterday for a impromptu lunch and a pint - brought in by a fabulous looking ploughman's lunch seen on Facebook. Well- it certainly didn't disappoint. Wonderful food, beautifully presented and great service too. We also had a fish and chips which was top notch and a burger that my daughter really enjoyed too. We will be back and soon. Can't recommend this place highly enough!!

Lovely, welcoming, Hook Norton pub. The sandwiches are absolutely top tier pub sandwiches! Come with really good chips. Food available only Friday and Saturday lunchtimes.

It may seem like a small thing but being able to get a pint of Old Hooky in a beer glass with a handle is a blessing in and of itself. The fact that this pub has the kind of atmosphere I associate with the best kind of pub, a jukebox that has a nicely eclectic mix of songs (many from the 70s and 80s), a real fire and stone walls all makes the customer feel like a local whether he is a local or not. A great pub to visit, an even better one to make a habit of visiting.

This would have been an enjoyable visit if the manager could control his customers and stick to covid instructions. We were shown to a comfirtable seat next to an open fire. However there was a group of 5 females and one male sat at the next table who completely flouted the covid advice. Whist one female member of staff tried to get them to conform a male member wh i took to be the manager did the complete opposite. He sat with them after lifting up his face protector. He continued to serve drinks when they were obviously intoxicated. They had visits from friends making the group much larger than the permitted 6. The kissed and cuddled visitors to the table and wandered around other tables sitting on friends kneeas and shaking hands having complete disregard for other customers. The manager was also making no effort to restrict the number of customers. Even when all tables were taken he was inviting people into the bar to wait until a table became free.

This is a traditional pub with a good atmosphere.The service was really friendly and the beers really good. Will definitely go back when next in Witney.

What a treat it is these days to find a good old fashioned, no nonsense pub. Freindly welcome, excellent service, clean and comfortable. thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.

Went in for a light bite in the Eagle didn't expect amazing but got the horrendous! Chicken wings that looked like they where sat in the bottom of the chefs fridge for a month tasted like dirty fryer oil... Not to mention the extream hot sauce that they where swimming in. My friend got nachos doritos with jalapeño with quite obviously sour sour cream thanks chef top dollar.. Bar food is simple and not hard to do it right even on a low budget.. Happy to say I'll definitely not be back maybe think bout employing a chef..

This pub should be congratulated for remaining a genuine British Pub. A friendly landlord welcomes you behind the bar. Good service. Great beer. Old world surroundings - interesting photos. So many of Witney pubs have changed and lost their character over the years becoming “foodie” places that look down their nose at people who just want a drink. The Eagle Tavern retains its character and welcome.

Arrived back in Witney after a meal in Oxford and dropped into the Eagle. As usual the beer and atmosphere are both great. Hooky Gold in great Nick.

A nice friendly little pub, with traditional style and excellent Hooky beer on tap. Just right for a convivial evening meet with colleagues - 7 of us met up for a few quiet beers and it was good to be in a proper pub again. A sign on the door announce 'No Children' - excellent, no having to endure ill-disciplined kids running around the place.

Some Colourful clientele ! But nice pub huge outdoor space really good food hot & plenty of it nice choice of wines

Well this pub is so full of old charm, With a excellent choice of Gins. Great Landlord. well worth a visit if you are in Witney

I love this little pub - traditional, friendly, always a quiet corner to sit and have chat with friends. Great selection of Gin & flavoured tonics.

We called for something to eat and have a drink. Inside the pub looks very quaint and obviously is quite old. Outside has a very large Ber garden where we sat with it being a nice day. We ordered a share platter for four with spicy fries. Price very good for the portion we got. It came fairly quickly was cooked and tasted delicious. Would visit again, nice place.

Ordered the fillet chicken burger with BQ sauce, etc. Chips were cold and had obviously been cooked sometime ago (tasted sale). The burger was extremely dry with little taste. Had to ask for BQ sauce as not provided. I'm afraid I would not recommended. There is a Wetherspoons just along the road in which the food is cheaper and of a set quality.

Called in for a quick drink with our son. Very welcoming with really fire and good beers. Would visit again.

In a mission to find good English beers. Friend said you must try Old Hookey Ale and I found d it here. Didn't eat here so don't know about food. But the best I found for being a cosy little pub with an open fire. Was playing Bowie,

Really impressive malt whisky selection here - they even have a whisky menu! All reasonably priced. And a good stash of craft gins too. Worth a visit.

If you want a great pint of proper Ale you'll not find a better one than the Eagle Tavern. A landlord that takes care of his pumps and proud of his product! Oh and there's always lager for the girlie drinkers too

Popped in for a quick drink, friendly staff, lovely beer garden out back. Nice proper boozer down a side street.

We almost missed having a drink in this Hook Norton pub. It was closed but the owner turned up to open the place just as we were about to leave. He was very welcoming and friendly. The beer was good as was the small beer garden at the rear. The Hooky Gold was lovely!

Just off the Market Place this pub has retained an old world character. Excellent range of Hook Norton beers.

This pub is a traditional, old fashioned boozer with friendly, knowledgeable staff. We were quickly engaged in conversation with a local man who knows my home town of Birmingham very well. My wife and I were made to feel really welcome and we look forward to our next visit.

I wanted to watch the rugby England V Wales and found this pub great atmosphere really friendly Landlord (Welsh) and great local real ales. I recommend the Hobgobblin.

If you are a gin lover then the eagle has its own gin menu and all are reasonable. The gins range from Bloom, Brockmans, Portebello Road, Opihr, Ginmare- each come served with its own fruit/olives that compliments and all are in the region of £3/4

nice pub great atmosphere ,nice food from limited menu but, cant fault,good selection of beers, and a couple of g&ts to round off the night ...perfect

Be out a few times in witney and not many nice pubs but this one is great. Awesome selection of real ales so well kept and when you get tired of ale they have a massive selection of gins. Awesome place

We hit this place after eating a good curry, pints of Hooky flowed down our throats enabling easy conversation and reminiscences after a long time apart. We were even treated to good cup of tea at the end of the night

This is one of the pubs we always use. The food here is always good, only a small menu but covers most tastes. Great place if you like your Gin!! Its a proper pub which are rare in Witney now, a good old boozer!! Lots of wood and flagstone underfoot. Its a Hook Norton pub so has all their ales.

Nice pub with a good selection of beers and a little bit of everything on the whiskey menu. Good job. Would drink again.
