The Eagle is one of Cambridge's most famous pubs, best known as the site where Francis Crick and James Watson announced their discovery of the double helix sequence of DNA in 1953. The pub, which was originally opened in 1667 as the Eagle and Child, is overseen by Corpus Christi College in cooperation with Greene King Brewery and is a popular lunchtime destination for university students and staff. Hearty traditional entrees are served up throughout the day, including fish and chips platters, sausage and mash, and classic steak and ale or chicken and woodland mushroom pies. Sandwich and burger options include buttermilk fried chicken burgers, fish finger brioche sandwiches, and grilled cheese toasties on sourdough.
