Gluten Free chocolate cake was sensational.
And I'm normally one to ask for extra gluten please.
My steak was cooked to perfection.
And the gluten free mung beans fitters was so morish.
The sevice was impeccable, waiters new exactly what was on offer and even how the food and drinks tasted.
Crazy not to try the place.
We had my wifes birthday party at the Spread Eagle last Saturday arvo.
I couldn't recommend the venue any higher.
Special thanks to Cloe, Tara & management.
A great afternoon & will be using this venue again.

The spready is a great pub. 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 havenāt 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 has great food and service. Just shows not everything has to be la di da to keep the masses coming. Great place 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 thatās 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 āgood sizeā. The chips are all time. Taste like theyāre 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. Great quality meal, but three bucks for the size of sauce provided was a bit steep and I wasnāt aware of the cost until the bill came hours and many pints later.
Worth a visit.
Traditional cosy pub with friendly service and classic pub menu. My friend went for the Parma and I had the fish of the day which was silver dory. The fish came with broccolini, red quinoa, parsnip purƩe and buerre Blanc sauce. Generous portion size and really tasty. Wine list was also decent and the complementary bread was a nice touch.
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 a great place, nicely priced not too pricey for the food and ambiance provided :)
Came for a parmi night and had the Meat Lovers Parmagiana - boy was I surprised at how HUGE it was - but I guess being a pub meal this is often the case. The parma was pretty good (chicken could have been a bit more moist) but this was made up by the oozey melted cheese on-top. I was glad that I opted for only salad on the side as the goliath Parma was overwhelming - but suitable for anyone with a serious appetite.Ā
I didn't drink or really stay too long as I was pretty hungover when I came here (to be honest) but I recall the ambience being pretty cool - your average pub atmosphere.

Packed on a cold and wet Saturday night, the atmosphere was lively and noisy even, as the footy was on. Service was incredibly charming and attentive, and we were quickly settled in and ready to feast.
Started off with the Mac & Cheese Croquettes. Cheesy on the inside and crispy on the outside, it was a good start to the night.Ā
For mains, we had the Parma, Beef Cheek and the Pork Belly. The Parma was just alright; I would have liked the chicken to be a bit more moist. The Beef Cheek, on the other hand, did not have any issue with moistness; it was succulent and full of flavour. The beef cheek sat on top of a bed of black garlic mash, which had lent a lovely earthy flavour to the dish.
Now, the Pork Belly. It was simply amazing. That crackling is the stuff that dreams are made of. May I also add that this piggy had the perfect ratio of crispy crackling, thin layer of fat beneath the crackling and oh so tender meat. The rhubarb, and kohlrabi and kale remoulade did wonders to cut through the richness of the pork. Could have done without the matcha crumb though. It did nothing to add to the flavour or the texture of the meal.
A delicious meal that left us feeling very full and satisfied indeed.

We visited Spread Eagle Hotel for a late Sunday lunch and trivia. Of course being a pub, you canāt 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 and great atmosphere.
Had my first meal here on a recommendation, and was not dissapointed, Italian specials for $20 with glass of wine. Great tasting food, friendly and professional service. Will definitely be back again.
I haven't had drinks here, but I've grabbed an early dinner. The gnocchi was my dish of choice. It's a bit expensive for a pub meal but pretty hearty and decent flavour. It's a tomato potato base topped with lots of cheese (which makes anything better). Staff were pretty nice as well.
I don't usually leave posts but we went on recommendation on a Wednesday (steak night). Absolutely fantastic. Great service, beer & food. Hoping to make it a regular event. Thx to the local McKenna brothers for taking the photo.
My favourite pub in Richmond. Great hospitality, a high quality and regionally diverse wine list and excellent food. Love the homely vibe and friendly atmosphere. My group had a wonderful lunch in the dining room and will be back.
Hi
Writing to express my appreciation for all the effort that your staff put into my partnerās 50th birthday party. He had a wonderful evening.
The room looked lovely and the food & beverages served were well received. Special thanks to the kitchen staff who did a great job co ordinating the logistics of serving all the food. Our Function Co ordinator and barman were also fantastic. Their attention to detail while being very personable made for a seamlessly run event. Please pass on our thanks to your staff. Much Thanks. Liz
Great little pub, food, service and ambience all 5 our of 5, will be back for sure
Great service with friendly smiles all round. We had calamari on Asian salad for dinner which was delicious. Was also offered to taste the wine before deciding on a glass of pinot. That makes all the difference. Thank you staff.
Had a great family dinner, the steak was perfectly cooked. A delay in serving that was remedied with a free round of drinks was the only hiccup that would have got them 5 stars. But ... the service was great and professional.
Wednesday night - Steak night. Great value but it is best to book to ensure a spot.
