Property details
Watchfield is a village and civil parish in the Vale of White Horse. Watchfield consists partly of military accommodation as well as the Defence Academy of the United Kingdom. Surrounded by natural history, rolling hills, great walks, and loads to see and do for explorers, walkers, and photographers, Watchfield is only 8 miles North East of Swindon Town centre, straight along the A420. The Eagle is a little gem of a business and everything you want from a traditional pub in the heart of the community. With a great selection of beers wines and spirits along with home-cooked food and varied entertainment, the Eagle is a hive of activity day in and day out.
As you walk through the front door of the Eagle, the well-stocked bar is centrally in front of you and the property stretches out on either side of it. To the left of the bar is a sit-down snug area with tables, chairs, and sofas. This could easily be moved around to host live music and various events. To the right of the bar are a piano, further soft and fixed seating, and an open fire with a television mounted on the chimney. To the right of the bar is a door that leads outside to the courtyard area. As the building extends down to the right there is another area that can be used for additional seating, dining, events, and more.
The courtyard area is big enough to fit five garden benches with some smaller chairs and tables and is a gorgeous sun trap in the summer months as well as doubling up as a smoking solution.
The private accommodation consists of three bedrooms, a spare room that could be used as an office, a living room, a bathroom, and a kitchen.

Live Entertainment
Trading style
A traditional community pub serving a good range of cask ale and draught products alongside a varied selection of wines, spirits, and soft drinks. Being at the heart of this small community, there is a well-thought-out entertainment and events programme that tailors to all. The Eagle is currently trading as a wet-only business however it has the capability to incorporate a good, community-focused food offer.
The landlords are looking for a licensee(s) for the Eagle who is passionate, has great retail standards and who loves community life. The ideal tenant will continue the great work already done here whilst putting their own stamp on the business and re-establish the business within the local community, re-develop the food offer, and putting a focus on real ale whilst working towards Cask Marque accreditation. There is an opportunity to premiumise the wine, spirits, and craft beers as well as a plan to build a good tea and coffee solution with additional ideas and plans to maximise the outdoor space. The new tenant would be expected and competent in using social media to further drive the business forwards.
