I understand he expects people to buy drinks, it is a pub after all. But, we had literally just arrived and was nearly immediately asked to buy drinks. So, we got a few drinks, but one of my friends wasn't drinking; she wasn't feeling too good. He comes over and tells her to 'buy a drink or fuck off'. I said to him "hey mate, she's not feeling too good" and he replies to me "get out, fuck off".
I feel this is because we weren't locals, it looks like a local pub. But, that's no excuse for the landlord to be a complete bastard.

Several bar staff on so getting served wasn’t a problem.
I’ve always liked the Falcon since it’s been taken over by Nicholson’s as the beer choice is large and varied and on this visit it was no different.
We stayed for a couple of beers, first up was a pint of Drygate’s Gladeye IPA on cask followed by a bottle of Siren’s Undercurrent.
Another good visit to this near excellent pub.
Very handy for the station, but that's about it.

Sixth and last of the Wimbledon 8. That stat tells its own tale.
I quite like this place - big, airy, full of paraphernalia , great location and beer as indifferent as the other six pubs.

Sunday roasts looked good but expensive.
