🚜🌧️ TRACTOR RUN CANCELLED – SUNDAY UPDATE 🌧️🚜

Unfortunately, due to the weather, this afternoon’s much-loved Parbold Tractor Run has been cancelled. We know how much everyone looks forward to it, and we’re just as gutted! ❤️

But don’t let the weather put a dampener on your Sunday! 🍂

🍽️ The Eagle & Child is OPEN as usual, ready to welcome you in from the cold with warm, hearty autumn meals, our amazing Sunday roasts and a lovely roaring fire waiting to warm your toes! 🔥

And remember, there’s nothing quite like a cosy pub, a hearty roast and a pint to take the chill off… although we can’t promise the b**r will warm you up any quicker than the fire! 😉🍺😂

🚗 With the weather looking miserable, please take extra care on the roads if you’re heading out today.

We can’t wait to welcome you through our doors for a cosy Sunday at your favourite village pub. ❤️

Stay safe, stay warm, and we’ll see you at The Eagle! 🍻🍂

🥩🍷 Thursday Steak Night at the The Eagle and Child 🍷🥩

Looking for the perfect excuse to skip cooking? Or perhaps a very good reason to plan a date night? We’ve got you covered.
Every Thursday, join us at your favourite cosy Lancashire local for a steak night worth loosening your belt for…

✨ Two steaks + a FREE bottle of our house w**e ✨

Sink into a warm, welcoming pub atmosphere, grab a candlelit table, and let us do the rest. Whether it’s date night, mate night, or just “we survived the week” night — steak makes everything better.

🥩 Our Dry Aged British Steaks
All served with:
Roasted Plum Tomato, Portobello Mushroom, Sweet P*e Shoots, Onion Rings & Hand-Cut Chips.
• 6oz Sirloin – £24.50
• 10oz Rump – £29.50
• 10oz Ribeye – £35.00
• 8oz Fillet – £40.00

➕ Add a sauce for £3.75
Diane • Peppercorn • Blacksticks Blue

Perfectly cooked steaks. Proper pub atmosphere. A bottle of w**e on the house.

Honestly, if romance had a flavour, it would probably taste like Ribeye and a choice of our 3 House Red Wines.

📍 Thursdays at The Eagle and Child
Book your table — we’ll have the w**e ready. 🍷

🥧 PIE NIGHT IS BACK! 🥧

Join us at the Eagle and Child for a proper comfort-food feast that’ll make your nan proud (and possibly a little jealous).

For just £30, you’ll get your choice of two glorious pies:
🧀 Cheese & Onion – golden, melty, and dangerously moreish
🥩 Steak – rich, hearty, and exactly what you deserve after a long day

Looking for a perfect date night? Forget awkward small talk over tiny portions — nothing says romance like sharing proper pies, a cosy corner, and maybe even agreeing on who gets the last bite (good luck with that). ❤️

Whether you’re a pie purist or a “one of each, please” kind of person (we see you 👀), we’ve got you covered.
Pair it with a pint, soak up the cosy pub vibes, and enjoy a night where calories don’t count and gravy is basically a personality trait.

📍 Warm atmosphere
🍺 Great drinks
🥧 Even better pies
Come hungry. Leave happy.
