Rebecca Cooper finds exceptional food, top-notch service and a truly warm welcome at The Eagle at Barrow
Few venues can compete with The Eagle’s stunning terrace – especially on a sun-drenched day. With ample tables shaded by parasols, it was the perfect spot for a leisurely lunch with a friend.
The new menu impresses with its blend of traditional favourites, daily specials and a creative mix of modern British dishes influenced by global flavours. The choices were outstanding – homemade pizzas from the pizza oven, classic dishes including steak, ale, and mushroom pie, a variety of sausages and mains such as Spring lamb rump. Even the salad and sandwich options were enticing!
We decided to share four small plates – Cumberland chipolatas, hummus, chicken bites and tempura vegetables with a Korean chilli dip – a bargain at four for just £20. For my main, I chose pan-fried seabass, served on a warm salad of new potatoes, spinach, tomatoes, peppers, chorizo and orange segments. My friend opted for the French trimmed chicken breast, served with herb rosti potato in a creamy mustard sauce, finished with tarragon oil.
For dessert, I indulged in decadent chocolate brownie with ice cream, while my friend enjoyed Pimms Monty. Both were generous and absolutely delicious!
The food was exceptional, and the attentive service made our visit. We wrapped up the day with a stop at Berkin’s Deli, on-site, which supplies The Eagle and its sister site, the Fence Gate, with top-quality, locally sourced meat. We look forward to returning soon to enjoy the cosy interior, complete with roaring fires and traditional real ales, this winter!
