The Eagle at Barrow

Another little eatery piece I think, as I have not done one in a while. This one concerns The Eagle at Barrow, close to the intrinsically charming Lancashire town of Clitheroe. It is rather amazing really, as I and many I know have been frequenting this particular establishment for a number of years and up to now I am yet to write about it on this blog, despite having visited at least a couple of times since starting this blogging business. Well - that is thus rectified!

In essence, here and now I can tell you that the Eagle at Barrow has become a very very fine establishment in my opinion, covering pretty much all the bases that most would require. A sleek and welcoming pub, a purveyor of quality local produce, and a jewel of a brasserie offering a varied but often sumptuous menu. It even offers a wonderfully unique deli and butchers.
Though relatively unassuming from the outside (yet that is not to say the external decor is not well done) inside I find the Eagle to be a welcoming, not too intrusive, pleasant place to spend a few hours. Looking back at my last few visits; the food is wonderfully prepared, presented and inevitably consumed. Last time we were fortunate enough to be sat next to the kitchens, and were thus able to clock everything that emerged from it, whilst also enjoying our own orders. Each plate looked greatly intriguing and enjoyable. The staff are endearingly welcoming, remaining professional but approachable. What's more the atmosphere, whether the place is full or not, seems to have been generated just right.

So yes, I am definitely recommending the Eagle to you; do have a visit. Be it to eat, to drink, to partake in the fair on offer to purchase, or even (as I did a few years ago at New Year) to enjoy the function facilities. Enjoy!
