This pub attracts visitors because of its association with the Inlings writing group which met here for drinks between 1939 - 1962, JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis were part of this group. In 1962 the association moved to the Lamb & Flag pub.
The pub food certainly is nothing special but the older parts of the pub are quite pleasent with small private areas to drink in. Leave a Comment Theme: Pub/BreweryComparison: about averageAddress: 49 St Giles Street

 Eagle and Child pub,
Oxford by rwlittle

The Eagle and Child was J.R.R. Tolkien's and C.S. Lewis's favorite hangout back in the day. Today you can go, sample the fairly decent bangers and mash, and ruminate on whether Frodo's quest to destroy the Ring of Power represents man's quest to reject sin or whether it's just a darn good story.

If you have an infant, you will be kicked out on the street! Understand that The Eagle and Child is more restaurant than pub, but for some asinine reason they discriminate against breastfeeding mothers past 6 p.m.
After reading and hearing about how steeped in history this Oxford pub is, all we wanted to do was patronize this place. Additionally, my wife and I had some friends visit us from London and make the trek to the pub to have a bite to eat and soak in the ambience of the inklings. all we got was a rude hostess that threw us out because we have a 3 1/2 month old baby that relies upon her mum as her only source of nourishment.
The Eagle and Child is a historical but classless institution. I rate it a very Brit lowbrow one star.It should simply be called “The Eagle,” because NO children are allowed (even quiet infants).

This pub is cosy one with not so mauch people in it (even in the evening) but it's not empty! I'm graet fan of master J.R.R. Tolkien and his work and when I entered this pub I could immidietly imagin him sitting at the table in a small room, having a pint and smoking pipe. He used to sit in the "Bird & Baby" (like they used to call it) with C.S. Lewis and other "Inklings" and read their works... the spirit of Middle-earth creator is still present in this pub. With their photos and the plaque with the signatures meakes this it great experience having a pint in this special place.
