"SO disappointing! When we arrived and said we had a table booked, the table was just pointed out to us. We sat down, but noone brought menus or took a drinks order. After at least minutes one of our party queued at the bar, and when it was his turn to be served was told to sit down and someone would come over. Another minutes went past, then my husband stopped a waitress and asked if we could order drinks. He was told very brusquely that someone would come soon. At this point we would have had our drinks if he'd been allowed to order at the bar, but no, another minute wait. Another waitress spotted that we didn't have menus, so finally brought us some. We had booked a table for as we had young children with us, but it took so long to order food and drinks, we were there much later than planned.I chose sea bream and saute potatoes, but received sea bream and boiled new potatoes, and when I questioned it, someone eventually came back and said they were saute potatoes like none I've ever seen or would want I left them.I know it was the time of year, but the place was taken over by huge Christmas parties, which was never mentioned when we booked. Our table was in the bar, so we were surrounded by people standing and drinking, and the noise level was unbearable. When I booked, I said it was for a special birthday, and my son even brought a table decoration with us, so it was obvious what we were celebrating, but noone said a thing about it or tried to make our experience special. We felt like an inconvenience, as obviously they only cared about the Christmas parties.Sadly, this is not my first visit to the Falcon Hotel, but it will be my last, especially as having eaten at another restaurant in Bude the night before where the food was superb and we were treated very well. I know where I will eat in the future"

"we thought they might like to know that the fuchs and the hounds were awarded 5 stars on gastrohub. here is our review of the website. another day, a new pub, at least for me, dad has been here before. this beautiful pub in the small village funtington, just wants them to come in. especially on a dreamy winter day, when the dark falls on you from a gray and solemn sky, she entices you through his doors, into the warm, where you can forget the grip of the winter and enjoy a few drinks and a few hot dips. the pub is much bigger than it appears first, with an additional restaurant area behind the bar. despite its size, the pub was warm, a basic area in pub hospitality. we checked the menu, including the special table, and were perhaps impressed. this was certainly one of the better menus that we have, showing a clear flare and imagination. I had expected the half of the prices to reflect the ingredients and dishes, perhaps in the unacceptable clip, but we were pleasantly surprised. the most important meal cuts at £12 £14, which we would consider about the right to a good pub with high quality food. I chose piri piri piri huh with seasoned sweet potatoes and spinat, papa from the special board, put his believe in the drawn steak in a blase and squeaky cake. we have softened the warm and friendly atmosphere, as we have waited for the food and watched the Goldilocks mirrors both temperature and corresponding music. before our meals arrived, and it was immediately obvious that the cook has a wonderful eye for the presentation. both our plates looked stunning, so we quickly sneak in to see if it tasted as good as it looked. that did it. the chicken was juicy, the sweet potato slightly seasoned and delicious, and the spinach was buttery and luxurious. dad's blase and squeakcake were just as perfect so he couldn't make any criticism. if we found a single error, and I notice that this is objectiv, we found the parts a little small. as the pub-geeks we are, we have discussed this to a certain extent. we have decided that as a publican there is a fine line, between which leave their customers feel short changed and leave them with space for a desert so that a few more penny’s collect. we have decided that they have fallen on the right side of the line, and to prove our point, we then ordered a desert. I had white chocolate and orange bread and butter pudding, dad had an individual lemon meringue pipe with Blueberry compot. both of them were delicious. that is undoubtedly a very fine pub. they have looked good and really all the groundboxes. the employees are efficient and friendly, and they have not accused of the overriding policy that is so widespread in many gastro pigs. there is a fine cook in the kitchen, and above all, eating is excellent. we always ask ourselves for every pub visit if we would return with friends and family. the answer in this case is a sounding yes."
