| I've been going to The Falcon for over 25 years.....it's sinply a wonderful place....and yes the landlord is very direct......he's also very well informed about an enormous range of subjects....has a deliciously dry sense of humour....is a true man of the dales....and he does'nt suffer fools gladly....and why should he....just look in the guest book to see how truly popular this place is. Well worth a visit for the experience alone, let alone the wonderful Timothy Taylors beer......for all those who've reviewed on this site wishing for a more 'modern' experience may I suggest you go to your nearest Weatherspoons!!!!!! browntrout - 10 Oct 2010 13:14 |
| Visited this pub on Sunday and had a great evening. After hearing all the bad reports on this site and others we expected to find the pub closed or the landlord to ruin our evening. However, it wasn't the case! After walking the 2/3 miles along the river from Hawkswick Cote campsite we found the pub open (open until 10:30pm on a sunday). Our first impressions were that we felt we'd gone back in time but felt that it was definately worth going to. We ordered 2 pints of Taylors best bitter (came to about £2.60 a pint which was the cheapest we'd had all weekend in the area) and sat in the back room with the stuffed animals on the wall. Apart from us there was the odd local who came in for a pint or two. We pretty much had the pub to ourselves. A couple of times the landlord would have a chat to us and ask us where we'd come from. He was particuarly interested in our studies and told us about his two kids aswell. We didn't have food but there was a kitchen to the right of the bar. In our view, we had a great time and didn't find the landlord rude at all. If anything, i just think some people just don't get Northern people! A great Dales experience. Will visit again! jimbob89 - 13 Jul 2010 20:01 |
| Places like this are few and far between these days, but we too often in this country have a rosy view of the past. This place has terrible customer service, a bad mannered landlord and ancient and slow beer dispensing - I fear the past we so often want to recreate in a rosy clichéd box- is unrealistic out of date and out of step, and not actually any good.

| Like a trip back to the 1930s. Very nice pint of Tim Taylor Best served from a jug. Landlord is a character, very friendly once you got used to his humour. Really is well worth a visit. Please never change this place, there are so few of its kind left. tpfirt - 9 Mar 2010 13:53 |
| As on spammy's visit yes the person making the rolls was doing the ironing!! You pay her for the food - not at the bar. The tiny bar at the end of the passageway is quite something. Timothy Taylor landlord served from the barrel via a jug. No other draught drinks at all. Very simple seating areas to the side of the bar. Worth a visit for the chance to step back in time. Landlord is certainly a character - when I asked permission for us to sit out at the back of the pub in the lovely garden i was told "no - it's not a beer garden, you can sit at the front"! I suppose it is for the hotel guests but there are no seats out there. Places like this are few and far between these days - enjoy....... (7/10). Old_King_Cole - 9 Jul 2009 22:05 |
