The Eagle, Al’s House
Meet the newest Little Pub to join the Family. Introducing The Eagle Al's House; a customised Little English Pub with a very special story.
Back in April a client reached out after seeing My Little Pub in the Kia Ora Magazine on Air New Zealand.
Initially the idea was to build a Little English Pub and name it The Eagle. This would have been the standard, black and white, tudor English style with The Eagle above the door.
After talking some more we learnt more about this client's story and where the name "The Eagle" had come from.
The Eagle was to be named after The Eagle Ale House, a pub in Clapham, London where the client's late husband had worked, a place that they had also frequented together on trips to London. The Little Pub was going to be in memory of her husband and a place their children could come to remember him.
Hearing Cleo's story made us all well up with tears and we knew this would be a special journey.
The initial concept for "The Eagle" then evolved into a Little version of the real pub and was renamed "The Eagle, Al's House", in memory of Alex.
The black and white exterior was replaced with a brick wall panel and painted in the colour to match the brick work of the original pub. The timber windows and doors were also custom built to fit the style.
Inside The Eagle, Al's House are their personal photos and memories in a special built frame on the wall and their favourite beers behind the bar.
"I can’t thank you guys enough - what a beautiful creation. For us it’s so much more than a pub, it’s a portal to another world we will enjoy for years to come. Thrilled is an understatement. It’s even better than we anticipated. Cheers!"
We are so honored to bring this Little Pub to life for Cleo and her Family and we thank them for trusting us.
