The Spread Eagle

Best boozer, best people, best food. Always have a lovely time here whether we’re eating, drinking or just hanging out (or all three!!) We recently really enjoyed a pub quiz which we were terrible at. The food here is amazing, highly recommend the roast on a Sunday but their seasonal menus are always brilliant too whether you’re after pub classics or something a bit fancier :)

Such a cute pub, lovely staff and delicious food. The roast was so delicious and it’s great they had so many gluten free options. Staff were all so friendly, it’s just a really nice vibe. Definitely recommend. Creamy leeks are a must!

It's a vegan pub with a lovely atmosphere. I was part of a large group and we all got served fairly quickly. The garden area is lovely, especially in warm weather. The staff was nice and smiley and there was a good vibe on the Friday karaoke night. The decor is very nice but you can tell it hasn't been recently refurbished, just as you would expect from your average pub. The music playing was also good and in line with the pub's atmosphere. The food was varied and interesting although choice was very limited when it came to mains (see website for more details). I had the Beyond beef burger and despite not being vegan, I thoroughly enjoyed it, though the toppings were a bit scarce and the "meat" a bit burnt in places. The fries were tasty and not greasy at all. Shame they ran out of the fried aubergine at 7pm as it looked really good. Overall, all dishes looked tasty, though I didn't get the chance to try anything else. (I posted this review on other websites too)

This is the first pub that I've ever been to in homerton and I absolutely loved the spread eagle. I love the atmosphere in this pub, it's lovely and friendly. You feel like spending your money here. I had two glasses of red wine and read my lovely book. This is a vegan pub and apparently the food is amazing. I wasn't particularly hungry but I did see a few people order so the chef must be good. If you're looking for a no-frills pub in the hackney area, then come to this place, you will not be disappointed 😊

Such a great pub - if it wasn’t vegan I would still really like it as it has such a cool vibe. Great selection of craft beers, garden, a pool table. And of course the vegan food is top notch. The Sunday roasts are amazing.

Absolutely incredible pub. Top notch vegan food (all through the week and the amazing Sunday roasts too). We booked the venue for our wedding reception and can’t thank the staff enough for the most incredible night. Not only was the spread eagle an affordable choice in a sea of expensive wedding venues, but knowing that we could have the entire thing vegan friendly from the food to the drinks at a place that shares our ethos was so important to us. Seeing that it is an LGBTQ+ inclusive venue especially tipped the scales - there’s nowhere else we would have rather celebrated our wedding. Organising the wedding was a dream, special shout out to the bar manager Sherri, who made everything so smooth and celebratory. We didn’t stress once. Our guests were so complimentary about the service and how nice the bar staff are. The other thing our guests won’t shut up about: THE FOOD. We had an amazing buffet including deep friend mushrooms, squashage rolls, tofu katsu curry, quinoa salad, kale salad, veganzola lettuce cups, and more. We had worried that a guest list of almost 100 non-vegans would walk away complaining about “that vegan wedding” and we’ve heard nothing but praise from them since. Special thanks to the chef for sitting down with us to plan the meal and for showing a room full of traditional northern meat eaters that vegan food can be delicious. We will be back again and again for food and drinks. I’d advise anyone to visit and try for themselves, and if you’re looking for a venue to book out for a party or wedding (vegan or not) look no further.

Fully vegan pub, specialising in vegan English cuisine. I had the Korean burger, which was decent. The chips were soggy. I probably should have gone with the English food as it's their speciality. Staff were very friendly and nice.

I visited The Spread Eagle pub today and had a mixed experience. The staff were friendly upon arrival, and as a dog lover, I appreciated that the pub welcomed dogs. It's handy to know for future visits. However, the food options were quite limited for both adults and children. We decided to order what we thought was Beef Wellington, clearly asking the waiter for it when placing our orders. There wasn’t much to choose from for kids either, so we inquired about a possible burger and chips option. This was abruptly declined, as it’s only available Monday to Friday, leaving us with overpriced sides at £5.50 each as our only alternative. Later, I asked another staff member about this, who said they would check with the manager. It turned out that the person who took our order was actually the manager, which made the lack of flexibility and accommodation even more surprising. There was also no correction when we referred to the meal as Beef Wellington, which we later discovered was actually a vegan “Beet Wellington.” When the food arrived, the server mentioned that it wasn’t Beef Wellington, but “Beet Wellington,” which confused us. The food was placed on the table, but one of us went to check the menu to confirm. Given the time of day, it was too late to leave and find another pub offering a Sunday roast. Despite the confusion and the fact that most of the meals were left unfinished, none of the staff asked if everything was okay during or after the meal. When we paid, a staff member even tried to keep the receipt, which had the manager's name on it. Overall, the experience was disappointing, especially with the lack of customer care and the misunderstanding around the meal. Disappointing overall.

Delicious Sunday lunch. The staff was very friendly. There was a small delay with our meal, which was not a big deal at all, and they comped the entire meal. Super generous. Nut roast and beet Wellington were both very good. Also highly recommend the sticky toffee pudding!

This place is legit! I've never been to a 100% vegan place ever and this was amazing! The food was incredible and it's nice knowing the furniture, beer, and cocktails are vegan too. The space is really cool and the servers are super friendly. There's no happy hour, but they do offer 2 for 1 drinks 7-close on Fridays. There's great music and vibes in this place!

Amazing place: 100% vegan. Tried the tacos, hot wings and bbq... all delicious! And a nice selection of beers on tap. Definitely worth the trip to meet this super friendly staff!

I was so shocked when I found their food was vegan! It's so good! I had 3 tacos, I know one was "fish" one was "pulled pork" and I can't remember the other, but omg they were so good! Then I had some wine and I was a rose' I believe, and it was delicious. I would definitely return here again to try more of their food. The atmosphere is nice, the staff was super sweet and service was quick! I loved it here I would give it more stars if I could.

Service is poor. Be prepared to wait for a while, even if there is no one else waiting and check your order. Nice space, but small and short on seating as unoccupied tables typically reserved. The pub across the road is not quite as cutesy but has more space, including a beer garden, a better beer selection and much better service.

This pub has bar stools at the bar! This is one of the best things ever...that way if my friends are late, or I just feel like going for a pint on my own, I can sit at the bar and chat with the bartender...rather than sitting all alone at a table too big for one. They have a decent selection of beers, and the food that I have tried was nice...but I've only had a few bits. (although I did see someone eating a burger and they looked like they were enjoying it). Jackdaw and Star is near enough to me to be one of my locals...and I'll definitely be back.

A very good pub in the style (I imagine) it was taken over looking like, serving BBQ inspired food at a reasonable price. The been selection is second-to-none for London craft beers, with staff happy to talk - and taste - you through the menu. There are a few fun things, such as chance each evening to win a bar tab, a weekly quiz as well as one-off events. The outside area is relatively small, but nice for a summer evening, and the island bar has well stocked spirit shelves. Being a stones-throw from Homerton station means you can't really go too far wrong!

The shepherds pie was sensational! If you haven't eaten here you are missing out! Amazing atmosphere with friendly staff we were waited on hand and foot! The organic wine was top notch too. We will be definitely be sticking around The Jackdaw and Star. Vlad & Jess

I really enjoyed a Sunday lunch at this pub in Homerton. It was chicken thigh, not chcken breast so it was really juicy and succulent. And there were two Yorkshire puds. Two!! That was a special treat :)

Excellent beer and friendly staff. Great bbq food. Chef chatted to us on her way out home, just to make sure we enjoyed her cooking. Highly recommend
