Our traditional looking pub offers an exciting world of craft beers, fruity cocktails, and spirits to liven any occasion. Paired with our oozing burgers, moreish bar snacks and tasty, loaded fries you can enjoy every moment well into the night with great company.
Hidden in the middle of Brentwood our traditional pub is far from dilapidated. With a quirky, opulent interior and eccentric décor, we are the perfect place to gather for a midweek pint and share tacos perched at the bar or get the whole gang together to celebrate the weekend with signature cocktails and an indulgent feast in the courtyard.

Food great as usual, staff friendly and helpful.
It was a bit cold in the pub but maybe because there was hardly anyone else in so not their fault.
It’s the 3rd time we have been for Sunday lunch and will definitely go again.

A lovely pub with a warm welcome including your dog.
Nice food and atmosphere. If you go on A Thursday, like we did, you can join the quiz at 8pm, it’s a good laugh.
Come down and and enjoy a night out with the family.

Was the addition quiz night really necessary, the pub was really busy anyway?

We have been hosting Quiz night on a Thursday for several years, and its always a popular event at the Spread Eagle. We are sorry that you found the quiz unnecessary and hope that this will not disuade you from coming back.

Lovely roast dinner, staff were great and the pub plays good music.
Only negative was that the table was a bit small for 4 people but we managed fine so not much of an issue.
Overall we were very happy and will visit again.

Unfortunately things have gone down hill. No service to speak of, people on phones behind bar when waiting to be served. No ales on at all. Food wasn’t hot enough and had about 6 chips each. We were the only table in there at the time so you’d think it would be easy to please us. Staff members kept going into the garden and leaving the door wide open so we were cold. Such a shame.
