Welcome to The Engineer
Built in 1862/1865, The Engineer was originally called “The Bird in Hand” but has since been known as The Engineer when the railway from London to Bedford was built in 1868.
With a lively and sociable atmosphere, The Engineer boasts a main bar area, dining room, family room suitable for children and dogs, sports bar and large covered garden, garden pods and covered smoking area.
We have a wide range of lagers, cask ales, ciders and craft beers on draught. With an extensive wine, gin and spirit list too, we’re sure you’ll find something just for you here at The Engineer.
Our menu is full of classic pub dishes and we serve a traditional roast with homemade Yorkshires every Sunday.
Children are not permitted in the Main Bar and Sports Bar. Please book a table in the restaurant or garden if your booking includes children. Please note dogs are welcome in our garden but not permitted inside the restaurant.
Coverage of the top-flight match from Gtech Community Stadium. The hosts are unbeaten at home against the Red Devils in three matches and have scored nine goals in those games. Four of those goals came in a 4-3 victory in this fixture last season, when Kevin Schade's brace, alongside a Luke Shaw own goal and Yoane Wissa finish, earnt the Bees all three points.
Coverage of the Premier League match from The City Ground. The visitors have a strong recent record against their hosts and have only lost twice to the Midlands club in the last 12 meetings between the two teams since 1994. In that time Sunderland have picked up seven wins and drawn three of those games, so they'll be hoping to keep that good run going here today.
Coverage of the Premier League match from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The visitors have a good recent record against their hosts and are currently five games unbeaten against Thomas Frank's team. Spurs' last victory against the Midlands club came in 2022 when Harry Kane scored the only goal of the game at this ground.
Coverage of the Premier League match from Villa Park. The hosts are looking to pick up their first win at this ground this season, having only picked up one point from their previous two home games this campaign in the league. Their last home match saw Villa draw a third consecutive blank at the start of the season, as the lost 3-0 to Crystal Palace.
Coverage of the Premier League match from St James' Park. The hosts have won the last three meetings at this ground against Arsenal, including two victories here last season. The Magpies won this league fixture last year thanks to a 12th-minute goal from Alexander Isak, before then beating the Gunners 2-0 in the second leg of the League Cup semi-finals to lead them to the final at Wembley Stadium.
Coverage of the Premier League match from Hill Dickinson Stadium. The Hammers have managed to pick up four points from their last two visits to Everton, including an impressive 3-1 victory in early 2024. Both meetings between these two sides ended as draws last season, with this fixture finishing 1-1 in mid-March, and the reverse ending in a drab 0-0 draw.
