Reportedly one of the oldest buildings in Rolleston, The Spread Eagle was established in the 16th Century. Situated on the main bridge at Rolleston, the building has been used as a schoolhouse and a venue for local courts. Originally called The Mosely Arms, the building was renamed The Eagle Child, before being permanently changed to The Spread Eagle in 1851.

Very nice pub with great food. Ordered Aubergine Parmigiana with a side of Mac and Cheese, partner had Sausages and Mash with a side of Broccoli. For dessert we had the Banoffee Pie and the Crumble. Had a drink each, and came out to just over £60 all in. We enjoyed everything, not a single complaint to make. The service was good too. There is parking, and the location in the middle of the village is wonderful. We look forward to coming back, with family and friends in tow.
Very lovely Pub. Chef was very attentive. Service was good. Very clean. Atmosphere was so calm and relaxed. We enjoyed our meal.
Christmas Eve, omg what a mad house. The bar was rammed and once we were seated, the wait between being given a menu along with the wait for your order to be taken was ridiculous. While the wait for the food was expected, it was unacceptable. The food was tasty and hot, but items were missing from what was advertised on the menu. We never saw the same server twice, One pepper pot took a hour to arrive after we asked twice and you should watch the bill - The prices on the in-house menu were different from what can be seen online. From our 5o'clock sit down to getting the bill at 8.30pm I wouldn't recommend.
We booked a family birthday celebration meal for 15 people. We booked last minute as we couldn't find anywhere to go for food and have had lovely meals in the past here. We were very impressed at how organised they were when it came to getting all of us seated within the establishment. After ordering our food there was a slight delay but with the amount of guests and how busy it was we expected to wait a little while. The staff were lovely and friendly and our food arrived piping hot for every guest. We will definitely be back for more meals in the future.
My husband and I visited today for Sunday lunch for the first time in many years. The quaint ambiance was still very much there as one would expect from a pub which has been around for centuries. It is nice that, in 2023, there are still some more old-fashioned British pubs around. The service was very good and friendly. Whilst neither of us ordered the Sunday roast, it was really refreshing to see that the Sunday roast was being served with a gravy jug on the side. My husband’s Hunter’s Chicken and chips were, to quote him, “the best that I have ever had and the bbq sauce was homemade and better than the ‘Heinz’ type”. The only negative point with my husband’s meal was the lack of vegetables or a salad, this, we now think, would have been required to be ordered separately and at extra expense. My chicken salad was delicious though, when it was initially brought to the table, the chicken had been forgotten but the lady serving us rectified the issue very swiftly. It was nice to be served a tiny piece of flapjack, instead of the usual biscuit in a plastic wrapper, with my after-lunch cappuccino.
