The Eagle

The Eagle is a pub and restaurant in central Cambridge, England. Its official Greene King page describes it as a 17th-century, Grade II listed pub opposite St Bene’t’s, and says the venue is known both for its historic character and its food. The pub’s history as an inn dates to 1667; a supplied Chinese Wikipedia snippet identifies it as Cambridge’s second-oldest pub. That source also says the building is owned by Corpus Christi College and managed by Greene King. The Eagle serves pub food, with the official page highlighting steaks, pies and small plates. The premises offer indoor seating and an outdoor seating area, alongside facilities including free Wi-Fi and disabled access. The pub also provides table booking, menus and event information through its Greene King listing. Its role is local hospitality: serving food and drink to Cambridge residents and visitors rather than operating as a standalone nationwide chain. The venue is especially associated with the history of molecular biology. Greene King’s page says Francis Crick and James Watson announced at the pub that they had discovered the DNA double helix. Its historic setting and this association contribute to its visitor appeal, while food and drink remain central to its current pub-and-restaurant offering. The available evidence does not identify a founder, a standalone corporate parent, or a specific executive for The Eagle.

The Eagle is a historic pub in central Cambridge, England. The supplied Chinese Wikipedia excerpt says it began operating as an inn in 1667 and describes it as Cambridge’s second-oldest pub. The Greene King venue page describes the building as a 17th-century, Grade II listed pub, located opposite St Bene’t’s, which it identifies as the oldest surviving building in Cambridgeshire. The available evidence does not give a named founder or a more detailed account of the pub’s early history. The property and operating roles are distinct in the supplied evidence: the Chinese Wikipedia excerpt says the area belongs to Corpus Christi College and that Greene King manages the pub. Greene King’s company page describes the wider business as a UK pub retailer and brewer operating pubs, restaurants and hotels. The Eagle is presented on Greene King’s website as one of its pub venues, with its own page for bookings, menus and opening information. The pub is widely associated with the history of the discovery of DNA’s double-helix structure. Greene King’s official page says Francis Crick and James Watson announced their discovery at The Eagle. The evidence provided does not establish a precise date for that announcement, so no date is assigned here. The current venue combines its historic setting with food and hospitality. Greene King highlights steaks, pies and small plates, as well as outdoor seating, free Wi-Fi and disabled access. Its page also offers table booking and event information. No supplied evidence identifies a separate corporate identity, founder, named executive, listing status or standalone national expansion history for The Eagle.
