Lovely place to eat in a nice village location. Car park can be tight ... parked roadside instead, but you may be lucky and get a space. Shows it's popular. Waitress very patient with us. Not the cheapest place for Sunday lunch but that wouldn't put me off going again as it was very tasty. Quite happy to pay for quality.

[Short Review]A nice pub, pleasant staff and decent food. The price is moderate, but it's a nice time out with decent decor and good food. 4/5I will definitely be going back again and have been there a few times before in the past with family.[Longer Review][Location]Situated in a lovely old town of Rolleston on Dove. There is plenty of car parking. But the place is popular so it often fills up. 10/10[Decor]A very old building and pub. But it seems in good condition all in all and the decor and design of the place is very nice and feels welcoming. 9/10[Prices]Definitely a place with moderate pricing at ££ price point. An average meal would be around £15-17 per plate. But as anything it depends on what your getting. Price to food ratio on some items was ok. 8/10[Staff]Staff are polite and up-front. They are clean and we'll dressed and seem to follow a uniform dress code that is smart. The food and getting their attention for things was easy enough and they were welcoming. The service was good. 9/10[Service]Food was delivered promptly and was quite quick. I would have liked the vegetables to be cooked more. Some broccoli and carrots I couldn't literally cut or eat as they were raw (mainly broccolI). That could be an issue as undercooked broccoli could contain salmonella and other things. (Unlikely, but possible). 8/10[Food]- I had the Sunday Trio.- Dinning partners had the sirloin of beef and hand carved turkey breast.Barring the vegetables. The meat and its contents were excellent. Wouldn't have minded a bigger stuffing ball but that is just preference. My dining partners agree the meat was tender and beautifully done.They do offer extra gravy for those that love to slather things in gravy. Myself included. I also opted in for an extra Yorkshire pudding at £0.50p more. I will comment that that the roast potatoes were frozen and seemingly not from the restaurant so that was a bit disappointingOverall a solid meal. I would have it again. 8/10[Conclusion]A nice place. Good food and good service. A nice place for a date or to bring grandparents or just have a pint. A solid pub.[Why four stars]I had some issues with some of the food not to my liking. Some vegetables like broccoli being very raw and undercooked completely that I struggled with at the recent meal. The roast potatoes were frozen.You certainly couldn't cut them and I'm a young man who is reasonably strong. I think the grandparents and such would have a real struggle on their hands. My two cents anyhow.

Wonderful venue and staff. Rescued me after the pub down the round cancelled our reservation and didn't tell me. Delicious Sunday lunch for 6 at short notice, my husband is coeliac too and they were very helpful. The children's food was excellent too and it was all very reasonably priced. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much for your hospitality :)

We have visited The Spread Eagle many times, but this has been the first time since the pandemic.It’s in a fantastic location and if you are lucky enough to have some fantastic weather the outside seating is great.We were a party of 3 and really enjoyed our evening. The food was good and the service was great!Fully recommend The Spread Eagle to anyone!

This is a lovely little village pub. It's one of those places you hope to come across on your day out when you are on holiday. It has a lovely log fire so it's nice and cosy on colder day. The food is amazing and cooked to an excellent standard. The staff are so friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be returning soon

Shame I didn't take more pictures! Always enjoy the food and atmosphere. Never a bad experience and the best part is dogs are allowed!

Had a lovely meal here tonight. Calamari was lovely. Food was lovely. Staff were friendly and polite. Seated quickly and served within 5 minutes. Definitely need to book as it was filling up quickly. Very busy and popular. Mind your head on the beams on the ceiling if you are tall!

First time dining at The Spread Eagle for my partner and I. Definitely won’t be our last. This is by far our best and the tastiest Sunday roast we have eaten for quite some time. Everything was cooked to perfection and flavoured. Great portion size. We also had the soup of the day starter which was lovely and finished off with the hot drink and mini pudding being creme brûlée of the day. Stunning. All in all one of the best eat outs we have done. I also have to pass comment to the management and staff who were all so polite and engaging but genuinely seemed happy with their work
