Eagle & Child Pub in Chorley

30 Church Rd, Leyland PR25 3AA

About This Pub

Ah, the Eagle & Child – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem in Leyland, you know? I've heard from folks that the staff go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome, and the food is a real highlight, with delicious Sunday roasts and pub favourites that hit the spot every time. They're always running enticing offers, like that 30% off mains deal, and it's brilliant for grabbing a pint in the garden or bringing the dog along for a relaxed afternoon. On the flip side, though, there have been a couple of grumbles about getting overcharged or minor service blunders, which is a shame because it could sour an otherwise great outing. Overall, it's a solid choice if you're after a cosy, character-filled spot for a catch-up with friends, but maybe keep an eye on the bill to avoid any surprises. I'd say it's worth a visit for the atmosphere alone, as long as you go in with realistic expectations.

Pros and Cons

The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
The food is spot on – think hearty Sunday roasts, pub classics, and tasty deals like 30% off mains that make it great value.
They've got a fantastic selection of drinks, from cask ales to ciders and wines, perfect for unwinding with mates.
It's super dog-friendly, so you can bring your furry friend along for a pint and some grub.
The pub garden is a lovely spot for enjoying the outdoors, especially on a sunny day with good company.
It has a charming, traditional vibe with plenty of history, making it a cosy and characterful place to relax.

Cons

There have been a few slip-ups with billing, like getting charged the full price instead of a deal, which can be a bit frustrating.
It's not the biggest spot, so it might feel a tad cramped when it's busy, and you could struggle to find a seat.
Service isn't always spot-on, with some reviews mentioning inconsistencies that might put a dampener on your visit.

Popped in after noting they sold food driving past. After checking menu they have lunch time deal has hunters chicken £8.49. ended up getting charged £12.49 for the normal price. Didn't hear what figure he said when I tapped my card. I make it a habit not to complain about food before it's served, just n case I get a spiteful surprise. Anyway also orders a pint of draft cider old Rosie apparently. Cider was warm. Food chicken was dried out and had a job cutting through it or chewing it. See pictures of the chips. The photo shows half of the child's portion provided. This half a portion where I come from would be called scraps in the chip shop and sold for 20p a bag.

Good pub grub and selection of beers. A nice, traditional and comfortably easy pub to sit and enjoy wholesome food and drink while kicking back and relaxing. The Eagle and Child is an old pub with history and a pleasant vibe. Give it a try, pubs like this are getting rarer.

David Matthews

The best pub in Leyland. Always had lovely meals here over the year's and today was no exception. A wonderful chef is Michael,making a delicious Sunday roast. Also Lesley and Molly are charming hosts. It's not a large pub but makes up for in charm and old world decor. A proper character venue in a very pretty part of Leyland, with a carpark across the road and close to town and Tesco. Highly recommended.
