Randomness Guide to London - Differences between Version 5 and Version 4 of Spread Eagle, NW1 7BN

Version 5 Version 4
== Line 13 ==

Comment added by Emily Moran: We are still proudly a Young's pub serving Bitter, Special & Bombardier + rotating guest ale on draught, with the full range of Young's as well as Wells' bottle conditioned ales. The management and kitchen staff have changed since the reviewer visited, with myself running the kitchen and my husband Jon keeping an eye on the bar. No-one could accuse him of being bland or wearing a branded uniform! Come in and find out how we've changed.

On the corner of Parkway and Albert Street, the Spread Eagle was a very nice Young's pub with decent food until around 2006, then it was refurbished and Young's got bought. It's now just another beer-pusher, and the selection of ales was greatly reduced from the whole of Young's range to 2 or 3 Young's and Bombardier. They also have Leffe and two other Belgian beers (as well as the usual array of lagers).

The Spread Eagle used to serve very good food, too, but that also went down the hill after management changed (the kitchen staff changed too). Even the bar staff were replaced, and instead of the friendly and laid back people you'll now find some non-descript staff in a branded uniform.

It's always full like an egg on Friday afternoon, so be sure to get there soon, if you must.

Food is served noon-10pm every day.
