Falcon Inn, Bletsoe

About us

Quintessentially charming with beams, fireplaces, nooks and crannies, you will be greeted by welcoming roaring fires in the winter and in the summer enjoy dining alfresco in our beautiful riverside garden.

At our other 2 pubs, The Star at Woodstock and The Three Horseshoes, Winkwell, we have gained a reputation for great seasonal fresh food and are pleased to bring the same to The Falcon.

Whether it's a quick bite to eat, a special occasion or just drinks by the fire or in the garden, you can be sure that The Falcon is a perfect choice as a cosy local with friendly and attentive service, a seasonal menu of traditional British dishes and a great selection of beers and wines.

Just stop by for a pint of ale, read the papers in our snug areas and chill out or book a table and enjoy our food freshly prepared with love.

Following a major refurbishment we would like to welcome back old friends and make some new ones. So come and have a look around our new website, take a peek at our seasonal menus and come in and say hello next time you’re passing, we think you’ll love it as much as we do!.

I was looking forward to taking my family there on Sunday and was very very disappointed. I had a pork roast. Everything seem to be piled onto the plate the vegetables were cold and the pork was cut very thickly. My glass still had tomato juice around it from the previous drinker and doesn't look like it had been anywhere near a dishwasher. The people who serve the very good although the young man did call me mate all the time which was a tad annoying. You won't be eating there again.

Great staff and good value on the specials! Very generous portion sizes on the rib and wings! A touch annoying you have to order at the bar, but wouldnt stop me going again.

At long last, The Falcoln is back! 😀 I knew it was only a matter of time before it would return firing on all cylinders. We dined here at the beginning of August, and the food was divine. The special I ordered (pictured) was that of spicy ribs and wings. All cooked and seasoned to perfection with minimal grease. Onion rings and chips were crispy, too. Service was excellent, and they successfully catered to my partner who has coeliac disease. It's officially coeliac-safe ✅️ Book a table now. You won't regret it!

Do not eat here! If you are looking for a place to have a few drinks, this place will probably do just as any other. If you are looking for a nice meal out, look further,this is not the place to go. While the service was nice and friendly, unfortunately the quality of food destroyed the experience. I had the worst BBQ pork ribs in my life, I feel disgusted and disappointed in myself for eating it. It only tasted grease and the BBQ sauce, the corn wasn't fresh and overal was very oily. They offer large and small fish and chips and my husband was told the large one is really rather large so he went with small, only to be served a kids menu sized meal. We did not dare to test the menu further and go on to desserts, very disappointed. Rock ad background music is not ideal for a nice dinner, so again would only recommend this place for drinks.

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.
