Golden Eagle — Restaurant in West Oxfordshire

Arguably one of the most poor and artificial “pubs” I’ve ever been too. The food is cheap, low quality rubbish, which wouldn’t be too bad, If it didn’t take an hour to arrive. The drinks are adequate at best, however the absolute mission required to try and obtain a single pint is shocking. When it’s busy, regardless of how many pub goers are at the bar, they will insist on still only utilising 1 single, poorly trained, low experienced member of staff to serve them all. Therefore leading to a wait time of a minimum of 20-30 minutes just to get a pint. All of this was very frustrating, however the straw on the camels back was that, when drinking there, rather than calling a last orders before 2300. They rely on you not realising the time, and then ring the bell 20 minutes before normal last call time, which typically in a pub would mean last call, however at this “pub” the bell means that there will be zero drinks sold beyond that point, this is the first time I’ve heard of this in my entire 30 years of drinking in pubs. When question why this was, the 16 year old behind the bar stated “it’s how the manager likes to do it”. So to summarise, so much potential for a pub, in such a key area, especially next to the RAF military base, but due to poor staffing and service, I’d rate this pub a 3/10. DO...

One off Beehive 5 star next door, simply because Eagle attracts the wrong type of people. If I want a quieter haunt I hence alternate between Beehive and Siege Of Orleans down Aldi side road.

I am fully aware loudness is a trait of pubs, especially RAF pubs. A real mixed up vibe across many visits at this pub. Focussing specifically on the crowd, Eagle's been unfriendly and almost violent towards my senses at times, ironically when watching the Eubank Jnr loss in the Super Series which understandably attracted a crowd of noisy drunks. If only the angry young men and women would go to another county. Food wise, it's as good as the hive and Siege Street Food, but the difference is the menu layout is better than the Beehive. It's colourful and well organised. The service however is lacking and needs to be improved.

It was a dare for me to go here. As a mentally disabled man on the autism spectrum I do require additional support and the last thing we need is insensitive people whose ignorance is a prerequisite of a bad pub. Can't fault the food and drink I just feel bad for the proprietors round here if they have to put up with idiots. Otherwise, a lot of...

When we went in we were told that it would be a 45 minute wait for food,which was fine because we could have a drink. Well it was time for our food to be ready,someone came out and asked us what we ordered. We were told they no longer had what we ordered and would we like to order something else,so we did. We were told it would be another 10 mins. We weren't happy but excepted it. After 15 minutes of waiting I went up to the bar and asked when our food would be ready. They went and checked and said it would be right out. In between these people who ordered after us were getting their food. Well the young girl in the bar came over,after waiting over an hour and 30 minutes, and gave us our money back. She said the food was being cooked then and we would get it for free. So after nearly two hours the food was finally cooked. I was just about to walk out when it came. We never did get an explanation of what had happened. They spend all this money on a refurbishment and yet they can't sort out the kitchen. Food shouldn't take that long. The only saving grace was the young girl behind the bar. Wish I'd got her name. I think management needs to look at what...
