Doing quite well at the monment, up to three ales on and sometimes an interetsing guest amongst them in decenmt shape. No real décor change but is definitely improving.

Occasionally the beer's good and the company is lively, other times the beer is distinctly average and the company stare at you blankly if you enter the public bar on the right (I usually stick with the left!). Usually a couple ales on the go (Courage Best/Pride/Doombar) in hit-and-miss condition. Also has daily papers available. Split into two bars, the public bar is pretty basic. The 'other' (I wouldn't say Lounge) bar is a bit nicer though the whole place needs some TLC. The bogs are nasty.

The Falcon is definitely a locals sort of pub, the atmosphere can be quite lively in the evening and that can give the sense of the pub being cramped. Even so, I think this is a pretty decent pub to visit with at least 3 real ales on tap.
