"a difficult review when the restaurant tried to provide the service that I am sure they wanted. a busy Saturday midday in December, all the tables were tightly packed, there were no ceiling ventilation or were all windows open to provide covid ventilation protection. the menu is large with a lot of choice. we went for a selection of starters to share under the family. most were very small dishes, the flower flowers bites consisted only small floccules. I think that this was too expensive for everyone. for the net I divided half a steak/ale cake and crispy chili bark. the bark in the torte was chewing and blande, the chips rode in a customs of their life, and the muddy peas were simply crushed, cultivated garden. the chili beef on the other side was sensational, fully spiced, steaming hot and loads of it, with rice and crack. the dishes could no longer differ in quality and taste. similar mixed results were reported from the rest of the table. I appreciate that covid has hit local food companies hard and they are still trying to get their pre-pandemic service. there were many guests who were fed and the kitchen struggled to supply consistency; our main dishes were delivered in intervals, so we did not eat together and it took to put the net on the table. as mentioned it was brushed, but a service fee was added to the bill. I think this is a bad service, even if one takes into account the difficulties of the covid. I hope that this feedback will be taken and traded so that we can see an improvement when we visit next."

"As locals, we have eaten at The Falcon many a time over the years mainly, but not always, being perfectly happy with the food and service. However, our last visit was a real disappointment. Usually the bar and restaurant are busy and the atmosphere convivial, especially on a Friday, but when we arrived, apart from a large noisy family do in the conservatory (we decided to eat in the bar there were only a couple of other tables occupied. By 8.30pm all the tables apart from one other and the bar itself were completely empty so the whole place was eerily quiet. Given this and that there were only three of us (7pm arrival the service was iffy (very slow to even bring us the menus, ordering water which never arrived etc but most importantly, the meal itself was generally underwhelming. I asked if I could have the duck well cooked no, only as it comes, pink; the beef dish (pretentiously called Pecanha which on questioning, the waitress described as a hunk of cow! could only be served medium rare. What we did order in the end was generally uninspiring. There are plenty of other good restaurants in the area so I’m afraid we wont be in any hurry to return to the Falcon."

"My daughter requested very last minute an impromptu family dinner for her 18th birthday. Having eaten and enjoyed previously at T&K I called and explained the situation. They pulled out all the stops to give us a fantastic table on a busy Saturday night. The manager remembered from the booking that it was her birthday which started our experience in such a thoughtful way. It’s lovely when someone you don’t know says happy birthday. We all ordered and were looked after brilliantly by the hard working waitress. The food was excellent sashimi and hanger steak and not sure how we managed a dessert but we did! T&K has a wonderful vibe, lovely people working there who care that you have a good time and delicious food and cocktails. The price of 3 courses for £35 was extremely good value for the quality. For once my steak arrived rare when requested! We will be back, just try stopping us."

"Perfect for a night out with friends and family, though, if you're hoping to go somewhere quiet by yourself or with a partner this may not be the place, as it is very child friendly with a play park and outdoor area. Absolutely perfect for families though. The food was amazing, and service was great too. With young staff that are happy to respond to requests in a timely manner. Price per person: £10–20"

"mama has been sitting for her favorite pub meal. new owners recently took over the pub and it was clear that they made great efforts to ensure that regular customers and new customers are cared for. I really enjoyed eating, in which it was delicious! only feedback from mum (which is regular) she thought the plate could have been hotter to keep her food warmer longer."
