Eagle

A highly rated bar with rustic decor, frequented by many celebrities.

Abbie was an exceptional server during our visit. She was friendly and attentive, making our dining experience enjoyable. The food was nice, and the ambiance was perfect for a lovely evening.

The server was amazing and controlled the entire dining area. He certainly made our dining experience enjoyable by refilling wine and water glasses. Food was well prepared, ample, and tasty. We enjoyed our experience and will be sure to return.

Our dinner at the hotel was very tasty, and the service was top-notch. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable dining experience.

Thought the bill was rather pricey 34gbp for Sunday roast plus spritzer at the beginning but after researching other restaurants realised it was probably average in price. Waitress was really nice, traditional English feel in decor and service. I picked roast beef which was almost well done but surprisingly meat was still tender, wonder how they did that?🤔

The place looked nice and people were enjoying their food. We went in and ordered our food. I had the crispy roast pork, roast potatoes, carrots, peas and Yorkshire pudding.

Located beside the River Cam, this is a classic destination for boating or a walk along the river. It is compact and has a good wine list.

Eagle Bar，天花板上全是二战时皇家空军飞行员用打火机留下的涂鸦，老照片、老物件、老菜单，这才是真正英国人的风格吧。

Eagle Bar, the ceiling is covered with graffiti left by Royal Air Force pilots with lighters during World War II, old photos, old objects, old menus, this is the real British style.

Eagle Bar，对于我这样学生物的人来说算是是个圣地。六十年前沃森和克拉克在这发布了DNA双螺旋结构，之没想过自称严谨严肃的英国人会把这么学术的事情放在一间酒吧里

Eagle Bar is a holy place for biology students like me. Sixty years ago, Watson and Clark published the double helix structure of DNA here. I never thought that the British, who claim to be rigorous and serious, would put such an academic thing in a bar.

传统的英式酒吧，除了可以享用地道的炸鱼薯条和啤酒，这里还是个有故事的地方。&quot;We have discovered the secrete of life&quot;.  1953年2月28日，两位发现DNA的科学家首次在这里发布了他们的发现。二战时，这里还皇家空军飞行员聚集的场所，天花板上留下了他们的痕迹......

In addition to enjoying authentic fish and chips and beer, this traditional British pub is also a place with stories. &quot;We have discovered the secrete of life&quot;. On February 28, 1953, two scientists who discovered DNA published their findings here for the first time. During World War II, this was also a gathering place for Royal Air Force pilots, and their traces were left on the ceiling...

去劍橋之前,我就在想:為什麼這所大學能成為一座城市?

但當我真正站在劍橋的街道上,突然明白了。

這裡不是一所大學,而是一座城市。

劍橋的景色十分吸引人,但更吸引人的是這裡的故事。

你能看到那棵著名的蘋果樹,三一學院雕像手裡的凳子腿,dna結構誕生的酒館,科學和歷史以一種真實而荒誕的形式出現在你的眼前。

但這些都不是最吸引人的。

最吸引人的是那些走在劍橋街道上的人。

他們是教授、學生、圖書管理員、導遊……他們談論的話題是從牛頓到莎士比亞,從萊布尼茨到霍金,從達爾文到哈代,一如百餘年前。

劍橋是歷史,也是現在。

“當年科學家 Watson 同 Crick 就係喺度宣布發現 DNA 雙螺旋結構”

Sunday Roast 嗌牛真係蠢左
硬到佢俾左4舊
但我剩係食到1舊
好彩其他烤菜應該落左好多牛油
就好香好好食

炸魚薯條中規中矩
炸漿係脆 不過唔會係神級好食個隻
勝在份量大

Arrival in Cambridge

We arrived in Cambridge in the crisp afternoon fall weather, the kind where the air feels cool but comforting.

The golden leaves along the pavements immediately set the mood; everything looked like a postcard.

· Starting at The Eagle Pub – History and Atmosphere

Our first stop was The Eagle, one of the most historic pubs in Cambridge.

I stood at the entrance reminding myself that this was the place where Watson and Crick announced they had discovered the structure of DNA.

Being inside felt like stepping back in time. The wooden panels, dim lights and worn counters carried stories from centuries of scholars, soldiers, scientists and travellers.

We took a slow walk around the interior, absorbing the atmosphere before continuing the day.

· Exploring King’s Parade and Historic Colleges

We made our way along King’s Parade, surrounded by some of the most iconic architecture in Cambridge.

King’s College Chapel rose above everything with its Gothic spires and massive stained-glass windows. Standing in front of it with my family, I felt small but inspired.

Every building carried its own character: carved stone archways, medieval towers and intricate windows framed by golden autumn trees.

We took our time, wandering through narrow cobblestone lanes where old bicycles leaned against ancient walls.

· Visiting Great St Mary’s Church

We stopped outside Great St Mary’s, the university church.

The tall bell tower and aged stone façade reminded me how deeply rooted Cambridge is in history and tradition.

It felt peaceful just standing there, watching students and locals pass by, each on their own journey.

· Family Punting Trip on the River Cam

One of the highlights of the day was our punt ride along the River Cam.

Wrapped in blankets with the cool breeze on our faces, we drifted past college backs, gardens and bridges.

Seeing King’s College, Clare College and Trinity from the river felt entirely different from viewing them on foot.

The guide shared small stories about each bridge and college, but I also enjoyed the quiet moments where we simply watched leaves floating on the water.

My family chatted, laughed and took photos, and I felt grateful to be sharing such a calm and beautiful moment with them.

· Ending the Day with a Gentle Fall Stroll

After the boat ride, we continued strolling through residential streets where ivy-covered houses glowed red and orange.

We walked without rushing, enjoying the charm of Cambridge in fall and appreciating the time spent together.

visiting the eagle pub where watson and crick spent their time and used Franklin's discovery on the structure of DNA. at least they've put a plaque up to recognise her contribution. should have tried the eagle DNA ale but had guiness instead. food was good but nothing special. the decor was nice and felt like cosy. lots of tourists passing through to take pictures
