Falcon Inn, Newquay

Caught the 556 bus that runs hourly between Newquay and Padstow to visit this 2011 Good Beeer Guide pub. It is not far from Newquay airport in a charming village. There is a single bar area and separate dining area, and there were 4 handpulls of St Austell ales, and we chose the Dartmoor and Trelawney, both in excellent condition. We took the beers outside to the garden and couldn’t resist the parsnip and thyme soup and bacon, brie and cranberry sandwich which was served with salad and crisps. There was a trophy cabinet in the pub, and a board outside stated there was going to be a euchre tournament. I hadn’t a clue what that was, so looked it up and it is a trumping card game.
