The Spread Eagle Public House in Wakefield

By my reckoning, the Spread Eagle must have been closed for 4 years. What a sad waste of a great pub in an enviable location. I can only hope the brewery manage to find a new manager, but I won't hold my breath.

Recently booked for Sunday lunch at the spread Eagle, we were not disappointed. The food was amazing and the service was fantastic. Staff were very friendly and we had a lovely afternoon in a child friendly environment. Will definitely visit again!

Been grabbing a beer here for 50 years.A must stop to experience a genuine old style English pub. And real beer...zSam Smiths.

Sam Smiths pub. They have a limited offering, but what they do is affordable and good!

Never open, silly rules owners of sam smith pubs hasn't a clue

I have never been as embarrassed as I was on Monday night in this establishment. My husband and I had called in for a quick drink on our way home from a trip away. We had never been in before but had been in other Sam's pubs. The pub was lovely and spotlessly clean and everyone was very friendly. The atmosphere was warming. Mr Smith (who I had seen several times before) walked into the pub in a worse for wear state. He asked to speak to the manager. When the manager came I have never known anyone be spoke to in such a manner. Humphrey Smith was down right rude. The couple were very nice but he just would not listen. He was shouting at them in front of everyone. Not only did he belittle them he was also very Condescending about the customers who were in there. Frankly I am absolutely appalled and feel very sorry for this couple. I have passed the pub since Monday and it now appears to be shut. Long may it stay shut if people who are trying to do a good job are treat like that. I have been in many Sam Smiths pubs but I refuse to put money in this mans pocket and would encourage all to do the same

My husband and I called in on Monday evening for some drinks, the pub had been closed for a while so it was nice to see it back open. The new landlord and landlady were so lovely and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble and they purposely went out of their way to ensure everybody was happy. Enter Mr Smith himself DRUNK and talking (well shouting) at the couple like something he had stepped in infront of the whole pub. It was an awful thing to watch, his attitude was disgusting and he was an absolute disgrace behaving the way he did. When customers tried to speak to him to defend the couple he spoke to them in the same manner. He then stumbled to his car and DROVE away whilst clearly intoxicated. I will never ever step foot in a Sam Smith establishment again and will be passing the word on! What an awful thing to do to people who were doing a fantastic job and also to those customers that keep him in business.

Since eating here the pub has closed but is due to reopen November 2019. The menu was not extensive but had all the regular pub grub one would expect at very reasonable prices. Didnt take long to arrive at the table. As this is Sam Smith pub the drinks are cheaper than most places. hope its as good when it reopens

Amazing selection of local beers. Really friendly staff. Nice beer garden and a there's a good walk to Nostell Priory starting from the car park.

Called in for lunch after visiting Nostell Priory. The liver and mash was spot on and the staff were really friendly. They even let my dog run round saying hello to everyone.

Quaint local pub. Sam Smith's beer which is always great value at under £2.00 a pint. Great walking around the area too. Dog friendly...but be warned no swearing or mobile phones tolerated inside (which isn't a bad thing!). Sure to be back again soon!

Food and drink was amazing but the staff and I presume regulars make you feel as welcome as a fly in a spiders nest, I'd recommend considering your other options first.

Fantastic pub great beer at fantastic prices, dog friendly with a great outside area.

The Spread Eagle is a very old pub which has changed quite a bit over the years. I haven't been to it for quite a while but I still thought it is a lovely place. It was very busy, even though it was mid week. A good atmosphere and staff welcoming and very attentive. Wasn't quite sure about the menu though, not sure what direction it is trying to go, either pub grub, or al a carte. The meal was good but I thought it too expensive and although Ienjoyed it I doubt very much I would eat there again. Would definitely go for a drink though as its a lovely place.

They've taken the soul out of the place with the refit and the minging landlords they've employed.

called In the other night with a warm welcome from the staff really friendly and polite was feeling hungry so I ordered something to eat didn’t have to wait long like you do with most places in the area and when It came out 10/10 meal was grate was that good I booked in for Sunday lunch this Sunday great atmosphere looking forward to going back again this Sunday thanks for the great meal guys and will see you again Sunday

We visited for Sunday lunch. The food was of good quality and there was plenty of it. We were given a really warm welcome and well looked after. Very reasonably priced for drinks and food. The Sunday lunch menu was a little limited in that there was only a choice of 3 roast dinners available and no other alternative. However, what we had was great and we enjoyed it.

We visited for lunch after visiting Nostel Priory. We chose it due to it being a dog friendly pub and now see it as a great find. The drinks where reasonably priced and so was the food which was really amazing. We have already recommended to family and will hopefully be returning.

Called for Sunday lunch. The food was amazing! Staff were friendly and the pub had a good atmosphere. Would not hesitate in recommending. Can't wait to go again.

ordered steak pie and chips the veg was stone cold the chips were tasteless cut price frozen chips and the pie was filled with dog meat all the others in our party complained of being served poor quality ingredients its one for Ramseys kitchen nightmares

Came for a meal with the wife, 2 girls and the dog, a lovely traditional boozer, nice landlord and land lady good value food and dog friendly, what more do you want.

Lovely, friendly landlord and landlady. Cosy atmosphere. Food is excellent. Dogs welcome. Would highly recommend.

One of our favourites. Cosy in winter and a beer garden for summer. Lovely location within walking distance to Nostell Priory. Off road parking too.

Warm and friendly pub serving Samuel Smiths beers. No TVs or swearing come as standard with Sam Smiths pubs. Open fires and friendly down to earth staff.. The meals was delicious and pipping hot.. Two of our party had fig and goats cheese parcels to start and Fish and chips for mains. The fish were large portions and lovely. the two men just had main meals and both had liver and mash, paging great meals. We will be back to sample other meals on offer. Thank you to all at the Spread Eagle, we had a great night. Jc :)

We moved over the road to this pub and it's been one of the highlights of living in the area. The owners are great and it has a welcoming dog-friendly vibe. The menu is proper straightforward food - no stuck up nonsense (tho we wish they'd have the cheesecake in stock more often!).

Friendly, efficient and dogs are welcome in the tap room.

This is the 10th time we’ve had food at the spread , well what can I say if Carlsberg did pub grub then this pub grub would be the best in the world ....!!

Went for Sunday lunch Ad been told prior about no cash machine which was fine I was cold so didn’t take my coat off to eat never great Sunday lunch was nothing special

nice quiet beer and pub grub as we had walked through nostel priory grounds. good beer but nearly cought out as a cash only status in place.

Visited the Spread Eagle because it’s close by where we live and it has just been refurbished and under New management so we gave it a try. Big mistake, sat down and ordered, then a dog came in non stop yapping I called the waitress and asked if she could remove the animal, “ oh he always carries on like that, he just friendly” I cancelled the order and left. The only place an animal should be ina restaurant is on the menu. We will no frequent this place again.

Stopped here on our bikes... Looking for some food and a pint. Unfortunately they weren't doing food but we managed to sort out a lovely pint for two gold coins... Unfortunately they don't do card otherwise we'd have stayed for more. Have to say we had almost nothing on us and they gave my fiancee a coffee for free. Can't fault that, thankyou, will come again with cash next time!

We visit this SAM Smiths pub on a regular basis as it’s quite local to where we live, and i have to say it’s a fantastic little country pub, which serves good quality ales and lagers at extremely cheap prices, the food is also of exceptional quality and now a special mention for the landlord and landlady Ollie & Hayley, they were new to the pub game when they took over a few months ago, but what fantastic people they are so friendly with a good positive attitude, the beers they serve are always spot on, the bitter holds it’s head all the way down the glass which is a great sign. This pub has struggled to keep regular landlords, so a special request to Sam Smiths brewery please leave Ollie & Hayley alone and encourage them in making a go of this special little pub !!!

Me and my family visited this pub for the 2nd time the safe were very helpful and they couldn’t do enough, the food was amazing and the chief was very helpful on our choices.

Awful! My meal was inedible, wasn't even offered a discount. The pub, it's self, is lovely and the staff are friendly. But whoever did the cooking that day, should do a different job!

Very friendly staff and the larger is good too . Looking forward to many nice summer walks with the dogs to enjoy a nice chilled beer in the beer garden

Good beers and good company plus decent food. Worth a visit

We popped in for a quick drink and evening meal, landlord and landlady very welcoming.

we had been dying to visit the pub for sometime. dog friendly and lovli inside. staff were friendly but waitress seemed in experienced n disinterested. food on the menu was good sadly what was on the menu we didnt receive. fish n chips came no tarta sauce had to ask for it and never got it. you should know your own menu. chicken fillets were lovli but agen said with lettuce on menu but didnt have it in. paid extra pound each for cheese n bacon adding but had to send it back as it had a tiny bit of cheese on. value for money it wasnt. cheesy garlic bread tiny 3 pieces and again tiny tiny bit of cheese for 3.95 not value for money. please take this as constructive feedback due to new management but do listen. you were voicing your unhappiness about poor value f money for your lemons so u need to think about your customers value f money. we r not tight n eat out alot but we were left very disappointed. good note tho the barmaid brought some dog treats for my dog and she was really nice n friendly so thank u. sadly we wont be rushing back.

Great family pub, food was lush and landlady and landlord very welcoming. Definitely visiting again.

What a wonderful little pub...a warm welcome as soon as entered by the landlord and landlady Oliver and Hayley. Not tried samuel smith beer but after some knowledgeable advise from them opted for the fruity beer. Other staff Very attentive and smily too. Food was absolutley beautiful, good size portions and perfectly presented.

Decided to use this place for an in formal

Have found the new Landlord and Lady very welcoming and friendly, they can't do enough for you. The food was great and at a good price. Really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it to anyone for a nice relaxing atmosphere with lovely open fires.

Visited this pub today for a bar meal , pie chips & peas .

Excellent warm welcome from the young couple who are running it. The pub is really nice and clean too. There was a mixture of people in from dog walkers, locals and people just having a meal. All in all really worth a visit.

The new managers Oliver and Hayley are trying their very best, pub has been brought back to life after being closed. Their friendly approach is welcomed by all. Nothing is too much trouble, food is now being served. Well worth a visit. Well done too you both for all your hard work.

Visited the spread eagle for the first time today, really friendly staff and the food was delicious. I liked how my spaniel was welcomed and that they have a separate room for us crazy dog people who don’t like to leave our pooches at home. I will definitely be returning.

We have eaten before here. Not likely to again.

Lovely pub close to Nostell. Allows dogs. Food was good but not huge portions - homemade chips & ketchup were very nice. Hubby enjoyed his real ale.

Visited for Sunday Lunch after trip to Nostell Priory with a friend. Having had to give the order four times noone seemed to know how to work the contactless card machine and when they sorted using the chip and pin key no one seemed to want to offer or know how to print the receipt. The food was taken to the wrong table and brought to us 5 minutes later cold!! Eventually got it back microwave heated. Don't know why they bothered. Placing the food at either end of a long oblong plate with three merge slices of beef drownings in bisto may look artistic but you might have well as served it on a rugby pitch. The minuscule veg certainly didn't fill the acres between the rest. And to cap it all when the plates were collected we weren't even asked how the food was! Well it wasn't is the answer. Thank goodness there was food in the fridge when we got home.

Don't think I've ever been so disappointed over a Sunday roast as I did from the Spread Eagle pub today.

Nice beer garden, afternoon sun, cheap beer lovley

En la oportunidad llamó de comer el almuerzo de domingo con la familia y no nos decepcionó.

Visitamos dos veces durante el fin de semana para comidas y bebidas, comida fantástica cada vez y cervezas y sidras personal muy agradable y un montón de gente! Bien merece una visita gracias por acoger a todos 9 de nosotros con una sonrisa.

Un lugar muy agradable con, lo que es más importante, muy bien pinta de Sam Smiths Old Brewery amargo. Siendo una Casa Sam Smiths, los precios también son increíblemente bajos.

Llamado el domingo para un almuerzo rápido antes de visitar Nostell por la tarde. Amplio aparcamiento y una cálida bienvenida del personal. Un menú limitado los domingos; optamos por la hamburguesa de pollo y bacalao pastel de pescado tailandés, servido con patatas fritas y ensalada. Fue una agradable comida suficiente, el pastel de pescado no estaba en casa, muy procesados y fritos por el aspecto de ella, pero estaba bastante bueno, no tengo prisa en volver, pero si estás visitando Nostell es muy práctico para un bocado para comer/beber antes o después. Relación calidad-precio mejor que la cafetería en Nostell, merece la pena probar durante la semana cuando más selección en el menú. Jardín agradable para sentarse y comer si el clima es agradable. 2 comidas y 2 refrescos £18 tan razonable relación calidad-precio.

Fuimos a cenar con la señora a mi hija y a mi hound. Tuvimos una comida de órdago. Muy bien de precio, comida. El personal no podría haber sido más amable, nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos. Tiene un ambiente agradable, con 3 bares acogedores poco. Recomiendo encarecidamente este lugar ya sea para un par de pintas o una agradable comida.

Una vez hemos visitado una calle Pub Sam smith en un largo tiempo, pero la cerveza era buena y un incendio real para mantenerte caliente fue una agradable sorpresa. Encantador pequeño pub volveremos pronto.

Gran comida de pub y una amplia selección de cervezas en una zona rural. Gran jardín que da a campo abierto. Lugar ideal para el almuerzo y la cena después de una visita a Nostell Priory. Muy acogedor pub, con precios muy razonables.

Fantastic old fashioned pub with great beer and really good food. The staff couldn't have been friendlier and so were the locals.

Lovely little pub brilliant in the warm summer months surrounded by green fields. Not eaten there but sure it is very good.

Lovely warm and friendly pub. Just had a couple of drinks. Very reasonably priced. Great summer beer garden

Fantastic service and value for money at the spread eagle. We visited with 14 family members the night before our wedding and were accommodated exceptionally by all the staff. The food is brilliant and excellent value for money. Open fires set off the quirky pub. Thank you for your time, service and generosity KatJenny and Gary Waddington

Warm friendly service beside a warm cosy fire ...stunning pies and awesome brownie was exactly what we needed ...this place is exactly what a pub should be ...keep it up and we will be back soon thanks

We went here for lunch, sat down and waited for our food, the surrounding was nice and pleasant. We received our food and about 5 minutes in a stench wafted across our table; wet dog. The dog was freely walking around the room whilst we ate, at one point it stuck it's nose against the plate to smell our food. At this point we found out that the entire dining areas were free for dogs to walk around as they please. There was no designated area diners could eat free of the smell of wet dog.Deciding whether to go here for food?If you're fine with dogs walking up to you as you eat, inclusive of the smells then give it a go. Otherwise I'd suggest find a pub/place with a designated animal free dining zone.

Lovely pub good food and a great beer garden. I'm a vegie and the chef was very understanding... No gravy as it had meat stock thanks for warning me!!!

Went today with a party of 12 for mums birthday. What a lovely friendly pub . Food was very nice and all fresh . The staff couldn't do enough. Would definitely visit again and would recommend a visit . Beautiful beer garden at the back of the pub, and lots of parking spaces

Went today with a party of 12 for mums birthday. What a lovely friendly pub . Food was very nice and all fresh . The staff couldn't do enough. Would definitely visit again and would recommend a visit

After a few visits to this pub this month I can honestly say it is a lovely place to eat and reasonably priced, staff are very friendly and the beer is cheap. Lovely beer garden. Also dog friendly if they are kept on a lead. Will definitely be returning!

We visited for Sunday lunch and were impressed with the decor and cleanliness of the pub. We both ordered Sunday lunch which arrived quickly, the Yorkshire pudding was nice and the meat good but we found the portion size was quite small and vegetables plain (we usually get cauliflower cheese and accompaniments such as crackling or stuffing at other pubs we visit in Ackworth where we usually go). I would definitely return for a drink as the beer garden is lovely and staff cannot do enough for you, but unfortunately the food was average.

ordered a beef dinner and a pork dinner waited 40 mins when it came there were 2 beef dinners the veg was rock hard .

I had rung ahead to make sure that the two dogs would be welcome to come in while we ate and were assured they were. Accordingly we met our friends, another couple but no dogs in the large garden of this lovely pub but soon went inside because of a chill wind blowing across the adjacent fields. We were served our drinks by a young, pretty and very friendly you lady who came and made a great fuss of the two canines and gave them a biscuit each! We all chose our meal from a varied, but not too large menu, one cod and chips, one pie, veg and potatoes and two fish pies. These all arrived in due time, piping hot and all declared very, very delicious. I was very jealous of my husbands' fish and chips and shall have them next time! We really shouldn't have but we ordered three puddings, two of us had the fruit crumble and custard and our friends shared the chocolate brownie with ice cream. Everything again enjoyed even though hubby and I thought the crumble was more crunchy than claggy!Then time to walk it all off at Nostell Priory, just a few minutes drive up the road! We shall be back!

Eaten her a few times over the past year but this was our first Sunday lunch visit and it didn't disappoint. Food was hot and excellent value. Staff are always friendly and service very good. See you again soon!

Visited Saturday afternoon with friends for Lunch... Nice sunny day....Daughter ordered Steak salad and was brought Steak chips - rectified quickly but still... My friends ordered food and selection of starters to share - had to ask where mushrooms were, but the time they arrived they had almost finished main course... For price i expect more

Great beer garden with a small park. Dogs allowed too.Great pub food with friendly service and a good selection of ales and cider.

Me and my family go out for a pub lunch / dinner at least once a week. I can honestly say this was the worse food I've ever had. The pies had been heated up in the microwave and were so hard I could barely cut through it. My mum ordered steak and kidney pudding but they got the order wrong and brought pie. Not as though they were busy as we were the only ones eating at the time. The vegetable's were the steam fresh microwave ones and even those were hard as hell.. The service was good and fast..now I know why....It was all cooked in the microwave.....Avoid this place like the plague.

Reasonable prices and nice food. Friendly staff and really nice atmosphere - it was a shame it was raining as we would have spent more time outside in the gardens!

Had to book for 11 of us for 1 long table near the log fire. Great beers and food was pretty good. Young lady that served was very polite not sure if she was the owner as was very professional. Good for just a pint too as its in the sticks it looks like walkers and locals call in. I would ring 1st see what time meals are served but defo will be going again.

It is now the day after a Work Leaving do. 42 of us spent a wonderful evening at this terrific pub. The Landlady and Staff were very helpful and welcoming, the food was spot on, the Beer Garden was perfect and the beer was superb.Thank-you for making us feel so at home! Cannot wait to go back.

Took party of work colleagues (45) for a leaving do. Laid on wonderful buffet. Great value, couldn't have done more for us. X

We met with friends nearby, 8 of us in total including children and dogs. The table reserved for us was nicely positioned and the service was swift and friendly. The food choices were great, and very tasty. To top it all, the bill was most reasonable. We will definitely return on our next vist, and would highly recommend this pub.

We have lived in the area for sixteen years and were unaware of this pub. It was our son who suggested we gave it a try and what a lovely treat. We ordered sausage and mash, lasagne and steak and kidney pudding. All three mains were delicious, hot and xerved very quickly. All at a very reasonable price. It may have been our first visit but it certainly will not be our last

My husband and I were looking for a local dog-friendly pub to eat at and found The Spread Eagle through Tripadvisor. It's a shame they don't have a website as I often find this helpful in planning a nice trip out for food.The pub is beautiful - old and full of character but well kempt inside. We were lucky enough to sit on a table next to an open fire which was lovely. Initially there were some rather loud regulars in but they quickly dispersed and then the pub was very quiet which we enjoyed. The staff were welcoming and friendly - a young bar man and a young lady (the landlady?) - with us and our 2 dogs. The menu offers the usual pub classics - lasagne, burger, scampi, pies. We had breaded mushrooms with garlic dip to start which were nice and I had a delicious chicken and tarragon pie for my main course whilst my husband enjoyed the gammon. Unfortunately of the 3 dessert choices we didn't like the options so chose to pass. The service was efficient and the meal was really reasonably priced - £26 for 2 courses with 2 large soft drinks.We enjoyed our visit here and will likely return again.

A beautifully presented traditional style, refurbished pub. Offering a well kept cask ale bitter from Sam Smith's Tadcaster brewery, along with a good selection of other drinks, this was a real find. The atmosphere is welcoming with the attentive and helpful staff.We enjoyed the food from a good menu that included pub classics, like excellent pies as well as a tasty range of vegetarian food.Good pies!Definitely will go again.

Called in on a wet Friday .First impression was not good to honest ,the bar man seemed to be new has he didn't seem to know what he was doing think it was his first shift and put us in an empty dining area .not a good sign.Sam smiths pub so Taddy larger was spot on (best larger in Britain ) ordered food which came pretty quick and I must say was delicious .Wife ordered sticky toffee pudding which she says was spot on.Land lady appeared and was very friendly and polite .Lovely old pub original stone floor and lots of character .Would not hesitate to call again .Should support these old pubs because if we are not careful their will be none left.

Cannot say enough good things about this place! From the atmosphere to the staff and the food, absolutely faultless. I would highly recommend this place to anyone especially dog walkers. Been here now two occasions in winter and been welcomed with an open fire, can't wait to return in summer and use the beautiful beer garden.

Great food, lovely atmosphere and good service. Great twists on some classic pub meals. Will definitely come here again.

I was inspired to come here, having read the reviews, and I wasn't disappointed. My wife and I came for a quick tea on Friday evening. She had a delicious fish pie, full of pollock, salmon, smoked haddock and prawns. I had the steak and ale pie with chips, which appeared to be a shortcrust suet pastry. The pastry was perfect and the steak inside was plentiful and tender. Both dishes were served with freshly cooked vegetables, and came piping hot.Most of the main courses were between £7 and £8, and the starters and desserts were also competitively priced. At just over £18 for the meal, a pint and a tonic water, it was excellent value for superb no nonsense traditional pub fayre.The staff and regulars were friendly and polite.Great place for couples or a family meal. Hope to visit again soon.

This is a friendly, comfortable pub, whether to enjoy a quick drink or spend an evening having dinner with friends. Although a small concern, a booking for 12 at a day's notice doesn't faze them and there's plenty of room to dine in comfort. Main menu dishes are well prepared, promptly served and reasonably priced, with more than one vegetarian option. If I have a criticism it's that the dessert menu is far more limited and the beer, though very well kept, is restricted to Samuel Smith's - but I can live with that. The Spread Eagle is one of my favourite venues in the Wakefield-Pontefract area. Plenty of parking, large garden area for kids or sitting outside in fine weather.

Had a mushroom,cranberry Wellington It was very tasty, best we had for a long time. and not expensive!Lovely pub. Flagstone floors. Real fire, friendly staffWell worth a visit. Go there!!

Stone floors and roaring open fires in inglenook fireplaces - a pint in your hand and a decent plate of food in front of you - what more could you ask for on a winter's evening?We came here on the recommendation of a friend and were not disappointed. The beer was good and the food was tasty. The pub has no pretentions of being a gastro pub - it just does good wholesome food at a very reasonable price - 2 drinks 2 mains and a starter for £21. The young lady serving us was very friendly and efficient - will be back

I booked lunch on a Saturday for 13 people from a special menu provided in advance by 'phone. Orders were 'phoned in two hours before arrival; we had only just over an hour to be in and out again. Drinks from the bar included tea and coffee, all served efficiently and with proper tea pots. Food was served promptly at the agreed time and everyone was served together at reserved tables. The food was piping hot and of high quality. The service was excellent, pleasant, prompt and attentive. Everyone was offered extra veg if desired but there was plenty. Desserts were ordered as required and also served quickly. The Sticky Toffee pud was as good as I have had anywhere; excellent. 13 out of 13 said they were very satisfied with the meal from every point of view, including value. The price was very reasonable. Also the Sam Smiths ale was in very top condition. The pub itself is a pleasant environment and the others drinking there all made our party feel welcome. Well done to Kath; our hostess.

Called in for tea tonight and we'll definitely be going back. Tasty food, good beer and friendly service. Excellent value for money, will be trying a Sunday lunch before too long.

Fantastic atmosphere and a truelywarm and hearty pub nothing is to much for the landlady and her staff everyone very polite, it's exceptionally clean and the landlady really is looking after this place it's only a few of these little gems about :) food it's yummy beer is cheap :) everyone's happy :)

Fell up on this place recently and so glad we have. Such a warm friendly welcome from the two girls. There is a roaring fire which makes the place so cosyThere is a good menu of home cooked basic pub food, tasty and not pretentious. There are only desserts so that could do with revewing - i dont think these were home madeExcellent service, cant do enough for youAnd cheap beer...what more can you ask?!

It is great to see this pub has settled down after the internal arguments between pub and Sam Smiths Brewery. The young lass who now runs the pub is very dedicated towards the pub, service and all else concerned. Compare this with a year ago when it had a different Landlord/Lady every other week in between shutting down. The beers are well kept, and standard Sam Smiths offerings. The food is great too, with a good choice. Lovely real fires in winter and a stunning beer garden with good views in summer. Love it.

Well, first time from a recommendation, well worth it, this young lady she was so versatile, not only did she pull a pint, she took an order without a writing pad but she cooked our food for all four of us all within a 20 minute gap. You can go to restaurants and they take longer. Going onto the food, absolutely excellent, great pub and exceptional staff, will definitely come again, excellent!!!!!

Called in for tea after being recommended by a friend. I'd not stepped foot in a Sam smiths pub since childhood but it seamed just the same. Beer was great and food a pleasant surprise, nothing fancy but really well cooked, and the open fire gave a nice ambiance. Best part was the bill, very cheap for what we had. Defiantly be back

Friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere with the log fire keeping us all warm & cosy. Six of us visited for a meal and the menu gave a great choice of food, which was all excellent and very enjoyable. Living in a nearby village we should have been before and will definitely be returning. Recommended!

Do a beautiful Sunday lunch, really good value of money. Warm welcoming country pub dog friendly and very close to nostell priory Totally would recommend.

After scouring trip advisor me and my family decided on the spread eagle. Turned out to be the right decision amazing food nachos were best I've had anywhere the pub is so cosy and the open fires were roaring as it was a rainy cold day outside the staff were really nice with our children and all had good knowledge of the foods they were serving and also the drinks. Fantastic place will deffo be returning here.
