Ah, let me tell you about The Spread Eagle – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local haunt, tucked away in Abingdon with a bit of history behind it as a Grade II Listed building. From what I've gathered from the buzz around, it's got this fantastic 'Steak on the Stone' thing going on, where you get to cook your meal right at the table, and people are loving it for the fresh, interactive experience. The food in general seems top-notch, with an extensive menu full of options that offer brilliant value, and it's clear the team puts heart into making sure everything's spot on. Pair that with a superb selection of beers and a welcoming atmosphere that's perfect for families or even popping in with the dog in the bar area, and you've got a place that really shines. On a sunny day, the garden and those cosy pods are an absolute delight, ideal for enjoying a meal or a drink outdoors. But, to keep it real, it's not flawless – I've seen a mention of some dishes like the ribs not being quite up to scratch, with a bit of gristle here and there, so it might not always be a home run on the food front. Plus, it does get heaving at times, so booking ahead is a smart move, and if you're out late, note that the kitchen closes around 8:30pm most evenings. All in all, though, it's a solid choice for a good night out; I'd say give it a go if you're in the area – you might just find yourself returning for more of that warm, traditional pub charm.
