I've been visiting the Falcon for years. I've lived on Lavender Hill my whole life. We had lunch there yesterday, Sunday 21/01/2024, I ordered the fish pie and had a game of hunt the fish! I found 3 prawns and 2 pieces of fish. It was mainly mash potatoes and cheese. Hardly worth £15! Also, my stomach has been iffy since I've eaten it. Very disappointed.

The Falcon has its USP - given its proximity to Clapham Junction it’s the ideal pub in which to meet arriving friends and/or to have a nightcap before embarking on your journey. Give yourself 7 minutes from bar to platform. The pub itself is generic enough but the seating area in the converted old bar out the back offers some novelty. As you might expect punters are a mixed bag, from geezers to couples, and it’s normally quite busy. Overall: something for everyone and convenient with it.

Nice pub, big screen TVs up showing multiple different games. Good decor. Ordered one of the sharing platters. It came with Halloumi fries, chicken bites(real pieces of thigh) chorizo, padron peppers and pulled beef croquettes. Was ok, the chicken and padron peppers were stand outs. Not sure about battered Halloumi cheese. But was a good size and definitely enough for two to share.

Quite a big pub with plenty of seating indoors and some tables outside. Good selection of draft beer and spirits. The positives are the really cool indoor space that it’s kept in its original state with plenty of cool features. It feels like being in a different time. Negatives were the rude security guy at the door treating us as if we had been rude to him in any way. Some of the bar staff was quite dry and really didn’t make any efforts in being polite or acknowledge you. Exception made for a young blonde lady who instead was smiley and positive, shining among the rest of the team behind the bar. Negative was the lack of atmosphere and the dodgy scenes spotted around the back seats. Lots of potential, downgraded by rudeness and lack of attentions.

A whopping (not Wapping) 5 for this extraordinary place. The Falcon oozes character, enjoys cast iron pillars and wood and etched room dividers. The staff are wonderful and, service polite and rapid ( if I want to use an Oxford comma I shall!). A busy pub with a great happy atmosphere.
