The Eagle
Traditional British • Pub Food in Cambridge
About The Eagle
The Eagle isn't just a pub—it's a living museum where scientific history was made and continues to inspire every pint pulled and every plate served. This is where Watson and Crick announced their discovery of DNA's structure, making it quite possibly the most intellectually significant pub in the world. The RAF room, with its ceiling covered in signatures from WWII airmen, creates an atmosphere thick with stories of courage, discovery, and the kind of conversations that change the world. The traditional British fare—hearty fish and chips, proper Sunday roasts, and perfectly kept ales—feels particularly meaningful in this historic setting, where you're dining in the footsteps of Nobel Prize winners and war heroes. Every meal here connects you to centuries of Cambridge intellectual tradition.
"Where scientific discovery meets traditional pub culture, this historic Cambridge institution offers more than just great food—it's a living piece of history."
