Steve C left this review about The Eagle & Child

The front of the Eagle & Child is bare boarded with armchairs in the front windows. It was very dimly lit during a recent visit just after lunch, I actually thought it was closed. The bar counter is found behind a thick supporting column where it runs up the right facing seating and a fireplace full of logs to the left. At the rear is a raised seating area with a well-trodden carpet. No televisions, but there was some background music playing. Food is available, the burger is priced at £15. The bar supports twelve premium and craft keg fonts and two banks of four hand pumps. These were drawing Leeds Brewery’s Best, Midnight Bell and Pale alongside Brass Castle Brewery’s Revenge of the Clowns, Half Moon Brewery’s Harlequin, Brew York’s Make it Columbus, Abbeydale’s Daily Bread and Turning Point’s Wavelength. The latter was good, but it set me back £2.70 for a half which is a bit steep. The service was polite and ale range wide, but I didn’t really like it in here. I’m not really sure who their target demographic is, beer fans or dining families?

Look I know it was Friday but it is just a bit off-putting to walk into a pub that smells strongly of fish. with a squalling infant in the dining part at the back for good measure. Having got the negatives out of the way, the front area had some armchairs and there was a good range of beers both from Leeds Brewery, who appear to own the pub, and other Yorkshire guests like Abbeydale; some boxed ciders also. Despite appearances it is quite a good drinkers pub, but perhaps avoid Friday lunch.

No pub sign outside or any inclination that this was a pub, so we walked past. It was only when I spotted the Eagle and Child on the window on the way back, so we popped in for a quick half. Not really a destination pub in my opinion more like a restaurant.
