The Falcon in Wandsworth

Drinks were fine but food was awful. Initially 2 items that we wanted from the menu were not available (only 3 of us were dining) so we had to change choices. One of our party has a dietary requirement and there was very little choice to start with. When the food arrived the portions were very small and the food most unappetizing. The Gnocchi was a starter size and the 2 pies were rock hard with little filing and there were very few vegetables. An extremely poor meal and exorbitant price for what we received.

This pub is in a convenient location, which is pretty much the only thing it has going for it. The service is bad, we saw a barman stood at the bar using his mobile phone whilst there were dirty tables with dirty glasses to collect.

Nice pub. Busy but to be expected near the station.

Had chicken, chorizo, and potato wedges with broccoli. It was very good but I'd have liked more broccoli. Was able to order and pay using the QR code, which meant I didn't need to leave my seat to order at the bar. Quite pricey, at £16, but I did enjoy my meal. Didn't realise their sandwich and drink for £8.50 deal included chips or salad as well. May try that next time. The menu looks pretty good, so I'll probably be back.

LOVE THIS PUB!! Exceptional burgers and pies. Great service too!

Traditional English pub specializing in pies. Try the pie with beef ribs

Taylor Landlord in great condition

I've been a regular at this pub for years due to its convenient location, but after last night's experience, I shan't be returning. What should have been a simple order of a pint and burger turned into a nightmarish ordeal. After waiting for nearly an hour without receiving my food, I politely enquired about its status. Instead of apologising for the delay, I was met with hostility and blame from an aggressive staff member. The waitress invaded my personal space and bizarrely demanded to know the skin colour of the barman who took my order, which I found both offensive and unprofessional. I was initially told I needn't provide a table number, only to be berated later for not giving one. When my food finally arrived, it was practically thrown onto the table. The pub's inability to handle a busy night is no excuse for such poor customer service and discriminatory behaviour. There are numerous better options in the area, such as The Plough, The Junction, The Northcote, Hawkins Forge, all within walking distance. After 7 years of patronage, this disgraceful experience has ensured I'll never set foot in this establishment again. Save yourself the bother and choose one of the many superior pubs in Clapham.

First time eaten here food good staff nice and friendly would recommend

Nice old-fashioned ale house which is good as was the 🍺 was only meeting a friend so didn't hang around

Good pub nice ppl work there I heard Mr Dior works there

It's not a great pub by any means, but it is an adequate pub. I do really appreciate the effort with the beer selection... couple of decent cask beers, five points JUPA on keg. Nice to go into a chain pub and find something that isn't Madri or some other rubbish. Old wooden surroundings. Football on TV.

Nice pub, conveniently close to the station. Great selection and has some limited space to sit outside

Great food and drinks .. good place to meet friends

Great pub right in the action. Food is decent and a good range of beers available. Good spot for a drink to watch some sport.

Ordering and paying via QR app. Great atmosphere. Fresh good food and snacks. Staff was friendly and served us fast.

Superb atmosphere, simple, neat corn cuisine

Great place to meet friends for a drink or food. One of my favourites

Great place in Clapham for a pint and good pub food- attentive bar staff, great choice of beers and good atmosphere especially for a Wednesday afternoon!

Awsome pub. Cheaper across the road. Weatherrspoon.

A proper london pub! Came here for drinks and some lunch before a gig. A nice cozy atmosphere, good decor, good service with lots of space for seating and good pub food, great pies!

Popped in for a quick pint of London Pride. Lots of tables were pre-booked, but the signage was very clear and had times on them, so I found a couple of seats.

Great place to meet up with the Lads Lads Lads

Apparently is had longest bar in England? Beer good, service quick.

Close to Clapham Junction and the shopping area of Battersea is The Falcon. A Nicholson pub, it serves traditional ritual fare. PRO: - Solid pub food - Freshly prepared with lots of temperature - Close to Battersea shopping - TV’s for all the current games - Good specials M-F from 12-4PMfor sandwich & drink £8.50 - Good specials M-F from 12-4PMf for burger & drink £17.50 CON: - Slow for food to come but that’s typical pub - Server never checked on us SUMMARY: Solid pub food. Not the best but tasty. Would come here possibly to try to specials

Very nice pub, lots of different spaces for drinking and eating. Many screens to watch sports. Family pub

Lovely pints of guinness with great atmosphere

Service was slow but good ambience

One beer is £7 Its a nice bar for chilling with group of friends

We had mixed experience, the food and drinks was great however the staff is somewhat sour and rude.

Great pub! I worked there for a whole year! They have delicious beers and traditional English food... The pub is quite large and is used to watch football matches. GO CHELSEA! GOO! ⚽️👍 1 SOUVENIR PHOTO WHEN I WORKED THERE!!! ❤

Superb food for a pub. Friendly young lady at the bar.

What a lucky me i am to enjoy pub nights to the British holidays. We obviously has a good time and drinks time. But I did not enjoy a fosters or Carlsberg. I enjoyed a lovely guest ale instead.

Great pub with great staff. Been drinking here for a few years now. Selection of food and drinks is extensive and varied. Food is superb too - would recommend the 3 bar snacks for £18. Staff are always friendly and courteous and the pub has a healthy band of regulars who make it a warming atmosphere.

Kayleigh was extremely accomadating

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.

Litch waited over half hour for food. Ordered starter and everythin was brought out together. Food cold and had some ordeal to even order it in the first place. Very pricey considering what was served. Honestly wouldnt rate the place at all. Staff are friendly. Was given parctial refund but considering we paid over 50 pounds for what we literally could have gotten across the road in weatherspoons for less money, hassel and time id avoid altogether.

Not a bad pun overall. I think better if it was busy but that’s a sign of the times. I’d say it’s quite expensive but generally feel ripped off nowadays 🤷‍♂️

Very handy if you are on the way back from a football game at QPR and need to get to Wandsworth via Clapham Junction.

My mate and I meet at the falcon every month. Very handy location just down from the train station. Huge bar, good choice of drinks & easy to get served. The window seats give you a great view of the hustle & bustle going on outside. We nearly always have the burger & a pint deal. So we were dissapointed that the offer wasn't on during December. We hope the deal will be back on when we visit in January. Overall rating from me is very good. Have always enjoyed our visits here.

The kind of place where there’s QR code at each table and order and pay online. The challenge was table in the back had very weak cell reception. There was a WiFi which you can connect to once you provide your email and home address and stuff, but still that WiFi was also unreliable. I wanted to order another beer but gave up due to the unreliable connection. Fish and chips and the first beer I got was great though.

I had a fantastic experience at Falcon! The pub offers an impressive variety of beers and delicious food that left me completely satisfied. The welcoming interior and vibrant atmosphere create a perfect setting. The attentive customer service added to the overall enjoyment, making it a must-visit spot. Cheers!

Great pub one of my favourites to visit when I’m in the area, Tom in particular is very friendly and knowledgeable about the selection of beers on offer

I always visit this pub when I’m in the area, one of my favourites mainly because the staff are a good laugh and you feel well accommodated in there

OK, here we go. Went in to see friends and watch a football game. Friends didn't arrive on the time frame arranged! Looked for a seat just to watch the game. Sat in the inside area where more seats were available. End sitting on the bar stool on the left side of the bar. That bar section was not maned for some reason. So I had to seat at the bar, but had to go to the front to order. No worries all good. Left my jacket and went to order. Since was a small que, I decided to order 2 pints just to avoid getting up and going to order. Mind, that the game was coming to a close... Plus didn't want to loose my seat! Ordered 2 pints of Ale, got 2 pints of lager. Found out after I had gone back to my seat and sat and after 3min on the phone with friends for directions etc.... Paid 13.80 don't know if that is the price for lager or ale...maybe I'm a bit picky but that how my afternoon went by!!! Didn't want to go back and change the order.. I saw that the lady behind the bar was busy... So OK lager it is... Maybe I pressed one star out of frustration.. I'm sorry!! Will give another go to this pub not on game days to see how everything pans out!!! Thank you..

Horrendous service. Spent £70 on a tray of drinks for me and my party. It spilled. And I was verbally abused by 2 members of staff. Absolutely disgusting.

Very noisy and couldnt hear each others talk, most food had run out and wasn’t available, half our orders were missing items shown on the menu, staff looked all tirer and stressed out, in summary, an awful experience

Overall, it's a bit scabby. Needs a good clean and some staff who care. Update to answer the question. The bar was dirty. Empty plates were on the tables. Glasses were not collected. No engagement from staff, eye contact and a cheery "how are you?" goes a long way. Thanks for asking.

Staying nearby, we stopped in a few times as we were coming and going to Clapham Junction. The service and food were good despite food orders coming out at different times. It was our fault because we submitted five online orders instead of one. The place can be too noisy at night to converse.

A beautiful historic pub; Escher's design influence makes this an interesting and engaging stop and a talking point for any group get together. The menu is varied and the portions generous. A must visit if you're in the area, or just passing through.

Lovely big bar. Lots of space. Food is standard Nicholls nosh.

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.

What a wonderful worlddd ... Banging sports bar in Clapham, considering there's there's actual sports bar next door that was empty this place was class. Buildings older than the brands it sells, traditional and classy with screens everywhere. Will be the new hub for sport, burger and a pint deal hits the spot as well

Overpriced bar with terrible customer service. Staff (some) are ignorant and rude with not even a modicum of sense. I was overcharged for already expensive drinks because staff member got my order wrong. I was then asked if I wanted the difference refunded! This took another 5 mins. When I checked later I could see that no refund was given despite being told that it had gone through. A ‘reserved’ notice was then plonked down on our table without any apology which came across basically as you can f””k off in half an hour because someone else will be sitting at this table. Pathetic.

Classic original pub with plenty of TVs showing sports. They serve decent range of drinks too!

Beautiful pub in the heart of Clapham junction

Cracking pub. Visit the pub every time I come to London.showing all the decent sport games. Staff make you feel welcome and the food was on point aswel. After my long train journey it's my first stop off the train.

Had the vegetarian roast and was great. Could have done with a little more gravy though, but was very filling and hit the spot.

Busy on a Saturday but we were able to get a stool at the bar to watch the game and have some beers and food. Staff were friendly and explained rules for the voucher I had. Good selection of drinks, good food and good service!

Staff helpful and attentive even when busy. Food great and well priced. Definitely recommend

I didn't like the staff, not very polite and not good service

Very slow service due to the crowded pub Good pint live football

This is a beautiful old pub. Ideal for a good drink or a catch up with friends.

Impeccable, speedy and friendly service from Amina. Felt very welcomed so will definitely be back soon!

Surprisingly good place to watch the Rugby World Cup quarter finals. Fast service at the massive bar and table service through the app as well.

Very pleasant pub. Friendly and professional staff. Great beers. Pleasant atmosphere.

So this is a pub. A long established pub. It has a fantastic selection of beer that fills the front bar. Toilets are great. Outside street space is good, staff are smiley and engaging and the sport is on many screens.

Great food and great beers to be had. Can get congested when only half full but worth tackling for the atmosphere.

Advertised they were televising the F1 so I went down to watch. Had to ask twice to have it put on at least one of the small TV's and they turned it off with 5 minutes to go for a football news channel (not a live game) and wouldn't change it back. Nice work guys!

A great sports PUB! Great location and the food is 👍..

Nice pub, it's what you expect when you go to a pub, no complaints, staff were nice, drinks were cold and not overly expensive :)

Nice to spend an evening sitting outside with friends watching the world go by.

Just a great old pub, full of original woodwork and snugs, but with proper toilets!

We were waiting ages for our food. Our starter was very tasty . We got the Sunday roast which came out cold so we had to send it back to be reheated. The Yorkshire pudding was stodgy, Overall very disappointing

Great spot for a full English breakfast. Pub was clean. Food was great. Staff were friendly. Cheers guys

I needed to charge my phone so I was im going quickly. Asking for soft drinks coze sorry im not gonna have alcolic drinks everyday. Just been humilited that was rude , disrespectfull. That Guy just laughed to my face with his Friends and asking me if I was taking the piss and explaining me that he wasnt serving. Dont really understand as he was behind the bar. I decided to leave. I worked in a pub and its not only for alcolic drinks. I wont recomand that pub. More that disappointed !!!!

Solid city pub. Friendly service, will return.

Extremely noisy group of men (probably chemically enhanced) continually shouting at the top of their voices who were disturbing all the customers in the vicinity - the whole of the front bar

Unreal place to watch sport! Great atmosphere, lots of beers available! Looks very different from the last time we were here after a make over Maddie was good craic behind the bar as well. Will be back for the prem next week!

It looked lovely. Arrived nice and hot and on time. Problem was the sausages were really, really salty. I had to drink a ton of water to off set the taste. Such a pity as could have been a nice dish.

Ale choice not as varied as before

Busy place with good beer and better food but not a cheap place to eat.

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.

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.

Grow up Matthew Hamilton you prize melon ⬇️

Terrible food. We asked to eat other food from a nearby restaurant as it was so bad and they refused. It was a shame.

A large selection of beers and snacks as well as multiple large screens to watch sports games. Would recommend coming here if you're just about to get on the train at Clapham junction.

A great pub to wait for a train as Clapham Junction is just around the corner. Friendly bar staff and a great beer selection will make it worth your while

Generally nice and easy waiting spot for trains near Clapham Junction

Met up with mates before seeing s show at Clapham Grand and after looking s various other places online, we decided to eat here The service was prompt , good selection of drinks and we shared a platter which was of a very good standard. My friend had a dessert that "hit the spot"

Beautiful clean pub with a lot of history and maybe the best burgers this side of London. Would recommend a visit

Very slow service , took 55 minutes Small portions Food was cold Overall an awful experience for the price we paid

Great meeting place from Clapham Junction Station. Live music Fri night. Good choice of beer

Fabulous boozer with great quality pub grub. Great pies and ale

Tbh .. the peroni was flat ... the galmserving looked as she didn't want to be there 🙈

Best pub in Clapham - simply stunning inside, good beer, decent prices, good crowd

Good location. Good selection of beers. Staff friendly.

I visited on a Sunday and ordered a roast of the day that tasted very good and was a good size portion. I had a couple of pints and the cider was extra cold which was awesome to refresh from the heat a bit. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is authentic.

Food was nice, really good choices. The place is spacious too

A large pub, with sporadic service, beers on and off - could do better, but could also be much worse - good location
