An historic pub.. now I am worried in case the new owners Firkinise it as in turning it into a monstrous modern gastro pub with large screen tv and other vulgar additions..the pub does not need modernising it is part of Oxford history!!!!!

The wonderful thing about the U.K. and Oxford specifically is that it is very rich in history.
This wonderful pub is a great example of this history and the characters that paraded its streets and visited its establishments.
If you are a C.S. Lewis fan or JRR Tolkien, this is a must visit in Oxford.
The food was very good in the realm of pub fair. When in a pub…of course choose a beer - have a pint.
Of note, Christmas Dinner options and I assume other holidays. Well worth considering.
The ambience gets a 10 out of 10…I stretched and gave service a 4 but was probably a three. Maybe caught them at a bad time.
Definitely recommend!

Ah, The Eagle and the Child! Where else can you sip an ale and feel like Gandalf might just pop in for a pint? This is the legendary spot where Tolkien and C.S. Lewis had their “Inklings” meetings. I went in hoping to absorb some genius by osmosis… and came out just tipsy enough to feel like I had!
Only complaint? No wizards on staff.

Easily some of the best gastro-pub food I have ever had. I think about going back at least once a week!!

Still closed for all who are wondering. Looked in the window and it doesn't look like there are plans to reopen any time soon. Sad for us Lewis and Tolkien fans!!

It's a perfect spot for a mug of ale an a pie. Shame that it since 2020 has been closed.

Hard to rate a place that's still closed as of May 4th 2024. Went to the Lamb & Flag across the street & sat & chatted with an older Oxford alum whilst looking at the Eagle & Child... as good as it gets.

Nie wiem skąd pomysł, że w tym miejscu Tolkien pisał "Władcę pierścieni" - to bzdura.

The place where Tolkien and CS.Lewis and other writers meet and talk about their works. Unfortunally the place is now closed.

It was closed when we went to Oxford but it was fun to see. I was surprised that I was on such a busy road. I imagined it was off on a quiet street somewhere.

Hopefully will reopen one day. Was closed when we visited, apparently since 2020 judging by the sign on the door and reviews here. A shame if it were to close for good, given the history of the place.
