About The Eagle Tavern
On Corn St in Witney, The Eagle Tavern is a pub and restaurant open Wednesday to Sunday and closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Walk-ins are welcome on Fridays and Saturdays, while the Sunday roast, offered as sirloin, chicken, or pork with pigs in blankets and celeriac purée, requires booking a week or two ahead. The regular menu runs to four dishes, including schnitzel alongside a beer list, and the bar snacks stretch to a scotch egg. A step-free entrance allows visitors with mobility needs to enter without difficulty, and outdoor seating gives diners the option of eating outside. Dogs are welcome on site as well. Together, the walk-in weekend service and the pre-booked Sunday roast give the pub two distinct rhythms across its opening days.

Customer Review Summary
The Sunday roast is what reviewers return for most, especially the roast sirloin of beef with a giant Yorkshire pudding, crispy roast potatoes, celeriac purée and gravy, with sides of pigs in blankets and cauliflower cheese. Close behind are the schnitzel, the Hooky Scotch Egg and creamy stout mushrooms on cheese and toast, along with the fish and chips, the steak and ale pie, and the sausage roll and pork pies. Sticky toffee pudding and a chocolate brownie sundae get mentions for dessert. Diners describe the staff as friendly and welcoming, call the food homemade, and say the portions are generous for the price. Reviewers also praise the beer and wine, and one highlights a monthly quiz night. The complaints are small: one reviewer found it a bit dark inside, another missed having no seating at the bar and no Stella, and a third felt dismissed when asking a young barman about Chardonnay. Several say Sunday roasts book up a week or two ahead, and one reviewer was squeezed in and returned the following week.

“Would just like to thank the Eagle Tavern for their excellent service and atmosphere during the world cup, as I sit here licking my wounds from the semi final defeat I feel this pub needs a mention for not trying to profiteer from the event and as usual providing excellent service. Thank you roll on the Euros 👍”
