   What a wonderful little place! We came here after being let down by another venue we’d originally planned for lunch, and it turned out to be the best decision. I called ahead to see if they could squeeze in four of us — plus our dog — in about 20 minutes, and they happily said yes. From the moment we arrived, the service was fantastic, and the food was absolutely delicious. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you for turning our day around!

   We had a lovely Sunday roast dinner here today. This was our second visit for a roast and the food was as great as the first time. The staff are very friendly and looked after us well. Recommended!!!

   Food was very fresh, on a nice sunny day the outdoor area is a great space to sit at too! The staff are amazing and highly recommend getting a meal here. Took my wonderful beautiful date here and we had a great and lovely time too.

   Just stopped for a drink. Beautiful traditional pub very well presented. Owners were very polite and welcoming. 3 lovely dining rooms and amazing gardens overlooking the River ouze.

   We had a meal in the restaurant rather than the bar. Lovely room nice and warm. It wasn't a long wait for the mains and the fish was cooked well. Offering sauces with the meal would be a nice touch. The wait after coffee for a dessert menu was a little longer than ideal. It was a nice meal though. Apparently the place hasn't long re opened after being closed 4 months. We were very pleased to be offered the restaurant room rather than the packed bar room. Yes absolutely I would go back service can be improved as time goes on and to be fair the the bar area was busy with people eating and drinking. I have never been offered the restaurant room on previous visits with whoever was managing this place last year so it was nice to eat without feeling squashed in like sardines in that bar area. I hope the new management and staff do well. Good to see the place re opened.

   We were looking for somewhere to have lunch prior to a local engagement and the mother in law suggested here. I am si pleased she did. The venue itself is quite large but nicely laid out. We ate in the bar side (there is a large, nice restaurant side too) but never felt crammed in or adversely, so spaced out. They have this spot on. It’s exactly as I would imagine if you talked about a traditional local. The food was really nice. We had garlic bread for starters amongst the group. Then for mains, burgers, posh fish finger sandwiches, and ham, egg and chips. The food took some time to come but because it’s done to order, and didn’t feel at all pre done. Very generous sizes. Very tasty. The staff were all friendly and polite. Approachable and chatty but not overly so. Plenty of parking. If we didn’t live so far away we would definitely visit again. Thank you to all the staff for a lovely lunch.

   First of all this restaurant part of The Falcon is absolutely freezing! no radiators on, many people sitting inside with their coats still on. We had to wait for at least 10-15 minutes before anyone even gave us a menu to look at (which is absolutely littered with typos), after we finally ordered, the wait for the food wasn't actually too bad, the roasts we all had were hot and well plated, however the two childrens meals we had asked for came without any of the veg stated on the menu. We weren't asked if we wanted any sauces or condiments. After we had finished eating, we sat at our table for around 30-40 minutes before anyone came over to take our plates away. The waitresses kept coming nearby but decided to ignore our table completely and instead just kept wiping down tables that were already clean. We had some desserts which were not bad, we did ask for the kids ice cream to be on the house seeing as they had missed off part of their main meal, which they agreed to. We felt the roasts were a little overpriced for how much you got, but they did taste nice. However the overall service was pretty poor so probably wouldn't go back based on that.

   This has always been a great pub with a very welcoming atmosphere. The food is fantastic and the cask beers are very good. It can get busy so book if you go for a meal. The gardens are also very nice when the weather allows it!

   We had a large party of teen kids and adults, and the Falcon were fantastic. They gave us an area to ourselves with plenty of space, and we ordered in advance so the food was ready more or less when we planned. Then we threw plans into disarray by turning up an hour early, and asking for a quiet room for an unexpected video call - both requests were handled with grace and we were accommodated, even though they were under extra pressure as the food delivery had not turned up! They somehow magicked up all our orders, and an extra helping of the duck fries (sounds mad but it was great). My burger was good and the fries were excellent (not always the case) - and the ceramic takeaway container plate was very cute! There is a lovely garden and the building is charming, with lots of space, nooks and siderooms. The staff were super helpful under demanding circumstances - cheerful and always going that little extra distance. We aren't local, but if we are back in the area then it will definitely be on my list.
