Review:
At the bottom residential end of Walmgate The Spread Eagle sits as a barrier between the old and the new, a traditional local boozer that has remained unchanged for many years and certainly hasn't evolved with the times. Inside is a large space with seating and wood panelling but it all feels very dated. The prices are good but the beer is not, just a very limited range of commercial beers. Not even the welcoming locals can keep this pub going much longer surely, as the wave of renovations, new buildings and gentrification of the area continues The Spread Eagle is firmly stuck in the past. They do frequently have regular live entertainment though and to the rear is a great medium sized yard area where part of the old outbuildings have also been opened up as sheltered seating, but for how long this pub will remain is yet to be seen.
