Falcon, Wooburn Greenback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
A really nice pub, very traditional, they do occasional beer festivals but they are part of the Greene King evil empire, having said that the beer I had was well kept

More Wooburn Marsh and nothing to do with the three pubs on the 'Green', but so what. Very trad pub with the low beams and all that. Three ales were Pride, Youngs and Bombardier - a bit boring but the former was in good nick.

Noticed this pub only by the off chance of driving past-Its not visible on the main road, we were all most impressed with this pub ample parking, postcard picture pub with wonderful open log fires - the smell draws you in as you open the door.The staff and few locals were very friendly, and welcoming of my young daughter who had already helped herself to the board games, relaxed atmosphere with cozy settees to slouch in while sampling the beers, had 2 types of draft cider- perfect.
We choose the Sunday lunch.. as you have to eat a roast on a Sunday- with the choice of Lamb or Rib of beef ( no pre cooked sliced stuff from the well known chain of restaurants) but some TLC had gone into the prep of this meat, We had the Beef & all I can say to all who love the proper cooked joint of meat-slightly pink- say no more- melted in the mouth. The selection of veg was generous including roasted sweet potato and an additional jug of gravy & horse radish sauce- for the giant Yorkshire pudding!
My daughter had the chocolate cake (warm) with ice cream - no comments as she wouldn't let me try & ate the lot.

'traditional' pub with wooden beams - mind ur head!, good atmosphere produced by pokey inside, and locals' banter (but air ur clothes for 2 days after). beer sometimes good sometimes vinegar (pot luck); or u can drink larger. sometimes have good wines (if overpriced). reasonable menu had pseudo mex theme (but you don't make salsa with tinned tomatoes).
overall - 2 many buts to be sorted.
