A fresh start for your local: Old Amersham pub revived by pro wrestlers
Something’s stirring at The Eagle in Amersham. New faces behind the bar. A new vibe in the air. And, unexpectedly, a love story at the heart of it all - the kind that turns a pub from somewhere you drink… into somewhere you belong.
The Eagle, one of Amersham’s best-known pubs, is starting a new chapter. And it’s one you’ll want to be part of.
The Eagle has quietly reopened under new operators - and with them, a renewed sense of what a local can be: open, warm, familiar, and full of life again.
At the heart of it all are Adam, Connor, and Maddison - a trio of friends, business partners, and, in Adam and Connor’s case, a real-life love story.
Adam and Connor first met over a decade ago through professional wrestling. They became best friends, travelling the country and the continent together, sharing long road trips and the kind of bond that only comes from living life on the move.
Eventually, friendship turned into something more. They fell in love, quietly at first. And after a summer trip to Scarborough last year, they realised they didn’t just want to keep chasing moments - they wanted to build something real.
That “something” became The Ramshill, a coastal pub they took over in March 2025. Over the next eight months, they transformed it from a quiet underdog into a summer hotspot. Packed quiz nights, record-breaking rock events, and a bold, rebellious spirit that caught the attention of the locals and the tourists.
But more importantly? They created a space where people felt they could belong again.
Now, the trio have brought that same magic to Amersham - taking over The Eagle in November. Together with Maddison, their long-time best friend, they’re not just pouring pints. They’re pouring energy back into the venue.
“It’s a fresh start for your local,” says Adam. “That’s how we see it. “Not a reinvention - more like a return to what a pub should feel like. And who knows… maybe come summer, we’ll squeeze a wrestling ring into the garden and run a show of our own.
“We’re not trying to make a ‘scene’,” says Connor, “we just want to make somewhere that feels safe, fun, and familiar for everyone.”
That idea - of love, authenticity, and chosen family - runs through everything they do. And it's already catching on.
Locals are returning. New faces are becoming regulars. And slowly but surely, The Eagle is finding its wings again.
