Sous Chef

About us:

Step inside the Spread Eagle and immerse yourself in the quintessential sights, ambience and outstanding hospitality of a traditional British pub.
Gleaning inspiration from her history, this classic Victorian pub with rooms stands proudly in the very heart of Wandsworth, South West London and is triumphantly reminiscent of the 18th-century public houses of her past. A haven for foodies, the menu includes pub classics which are joyfully redolent of British dishes served in days gone by.
Grade II listed and sensitively restored, the Spread Eagle houses 21 beautiful boutique bedrooms and showcases nostalgic, traditional features; including stylish etched glass, reclaimed wooden floorboards, heritage colours and brass fittings. Less a transformation, and more a reincarnation of everything we love about the Great British Pub. The nearest station is Wandsworth Town with great links to all local areas!
