spread eagle hotel

here for mother's day. cold wet day outside, warm and inviting inside. table booked down stairs right in the thick of it. the noise adds to the atmosphere. good quality pub meals excellent selection. staff are friendly and attentive.greatplace in a very competitive market.

thumbs up!. this pub isgreatfor dinner and drinks. the meals are reasonably priced and the food is great. parma night is an obvious favorite.

the spready is agreatpub. this was one of my last meals out before the lastest lockdown.

i ordered corned beef dinner whicg was cooked so well, and the serving very generous.

the gnocci just melted in my mouth.

the craft beers were good and the pinot noir, well it was absolutely delicious.

i'll be back!

i haven’t been to the spready for a while. the service is excellent, friendly and efficient.

we ordered some potato cakes and some which were crispy and hot. the rice wine vinegar was a treat.

the gin and sofa was good and my passion fruit sour was a serious lip smacker hahaha whoa!!

the crowd is friendly and this place is definitely worth a visit if your in the area.

i went here tonight w my friend after walking past this pub a thousand times. why?? hahahaha

we've been missing out!

the service here was spot on! the beer and wine perfect and the food amazing, it really felt like fine dining without the pretence or the price tag.

we both tried different steaks, mine was grass fed 400g man size, and it was cooked to perfection. my friend also tried a 300g steak and it was equally as good.

the potato mash was ok, but the salads were fresh and tasty.

we have discovered another amazing foodie place in richmond yahoooo hahaha

def worth a visit! :)

my friend works in richmond and we always meet this way to catch up. i looked at what's around and stumbled across spread eagle hotel. i got there early and felt a little out of place in a suit, as most of the other patrons looked like they would jump into mma ring for fun. it's really an old school pub with no fancy renovations. we both ended getting a steak and given it was a wednesday night, it was $18-a bargain given how delicious it was. by the time we left the pub was full of young and old, friends and families. it really is a pub that caters for all and hasgreatfood and service. just shows not everything has to be la di da to keep the masses coming.greatplace i would definitely go back to.

quality locals pub popular amongst the island faithful. fireplace, carlton draught on tap, sport on tv and an acoustic duo on friday and saturday nights... what more could you want? a bob hawke lookalike local that’s what!!!

the food is both a combination of a good gastro pub menu combined with solid pub grub options. codalicipus had the burger and reckoned it was fantastic and “good size”. the chips are all time. taste like they’re thrice cooked, according to this pretentious foodie!

i had the veal schnitzel on mash with green beans and cabbage. i got a side of mushroom sauce.greatquality meal, but three bucks for the size of sauce provided was a bit steep and i wasn’t aware of the cost until the bill came hours and many pints later.

worth a visit.

went there for steak night on wednesday evening. food and ambiance were good.
easy location very near to public transport.
tried medium steak and with some beers.
overall agreatplace, nicely priced not too pricey for the food and ambiance provided :)

we visited spread eagle hotel for a late sunday lunch and trivia. of course being a pub, you can’t go wrong with a veal schnitzel and mash. the serving was quite generous (although tbh, we may have slightly over ordered on the snacks). the mash was soft and fluffy, full of flavour. i could have eaten a whole bowl. i also really liked the pickled cabbage that came with it, a bit tangy which freshened up the dish. we ordered mac and cheese which was okay but not as soft and cheesy as i hoped it would be. all in all, solid pub with good food and service andgreatatmosphere.

had my first meal here on a recommendation, and was not dissapointed, italian specials for $20 with glass of wine.greattasting food, friendly and professional service. will definitely be back again.

awesome beer battered fries, friendly staff and amazing pasta. really nice local pub. not one of the chains, so prettygreatfood. sorry, no pictures. sunday is parma day - $16. really moist and well cooked.

was pleasantly surprised by the food here. ordered the kfc chicken for entree and steak for main. was very happy with food. place is basically a pub though so very noisy with drinking crowd on friday evening. oh and we had the shared meat platter which wasgreattoo. left very full.

lovely food with creative sauce and sides, friendly service,greatvalue. we have thoroughly enjoyed it and certainly would love to come back again!

awesome place,greatstaff and excellent food, steak was cooked to perfection and beef burger was outstanding. will be coming back next week! 👌

great local. literally 2 min walk from our place.
food is always good, and they have somegreatlocals night specials also.
the menu is mixed up regularly so you aren't forever choosing off the same list.
we shared the slow cooked 24 brisket platter last night, was a huge serve along with the condiments that came along with it (corn tortillas, avo salsa, salad, jack daniels bbq sauce and beer battered chips) for $42 you can't go wrong! can't wait to have it again!

they say kylie minogue had her 21st birthday here upstairs, she was probably lucky enough to be around when they still had parma night.  a solid little corner pub establishment, warm, inviting, friendly staff,greatfood, the type of 'nice place to take your parents' - but really no value or loyalty for locals. you want parma? you pay $23 every night of the week. probably what led kylie into depression and forced her to break up with jason donovan.

great food,greatpub! lots of tasty little small plates that regularly change, potato cakes are brilliant. parma’s and steaks spot on.greatstaff as well.
