My husband had heard this pub did meals at lunchtime for £5.00 for OAP’s so we decided to try the pub out for our lunch. There were a few folk in the pub but no one serving behind the bar. Eventually a young girl came rushing out to serve us. It seemed she was the only lady working. She was most helpful, brought us menus from which we ordered our lunch although there was no sign of a menu for OAP’s Apart from this young lady serving and rushing about no one else seemed to be about which was most disappointing as it’s usual to see a manager or manageress smiling behind the bar. Our food was good and enjoyable but don’t think we will return.
We have dined here before and it has been a good experience but it must have been an off day. The sole barmaid was unfriendly and unhelpful. We left a third of our meal as it was not very appetizing. The pub used to do Senoir Citizen meals which were smaller and to our liking but alas no more. It was only after we had ordered drinks that we were told 'only cash as machine not working '. Surely a sign would have been appropriate or told before ordering. We did not appreciate the 3 men customers who were very loud with shocking swearing. We sat in the garden after our meal to be met by uncleaned ashtrays. We will not be returning
I led a walk on which 57 people turned up. I had informed the pub that we were coming and to expect about 12 people eating: there were 23 eating with the remaining 34 wanting drinks! I phoned through the food order and when we arrived the tables were reserved and we all had time to order drinks before our food arrived. Everyone thought the food was really good and would visit again. The pub staff were so friendly and efficient that we thoroughly enjoyed our stop and were able to restart our walk without any delay. Well done to the pub!
Before visiting for my friends birthday, I enquired about disabled access and received a very blunt email in return saying that I could not use my mobility scooter inside the pub as there was a step up and also that there would be no room for my scooter. On arrival there was a very small step and the pub was nearly empty and there was plenty of space for my small mobility scooter. In the end my friends had to help me into the pub as I only had my walking stick. Food was very average but young lady behind the bar was very helpful

Ordered an Amstel, tasted like washing up liquid, 2 other people tried the beer and agreed but bartender refused to give me a refund or exchange for another beer. Bartender did say that the management have said that they can’t exchange or refund because people have obviously been bringing it back. This happens a week before and I though it would be sorted by now but obviously not.
11 descended on The Falstaff without booking and ordered lunch. With lots of choices ranging from liver, bacon, mash, bangers and mash, chilli jackets etc everyone was very pleased with their food. Mine was the tuna and sweet corn salad which is always nicely laid out. Service is always good at The Falstaff, just a little slow this time because there were so many of us.
Popped in at 6 o'clock Saturday evening, such a lovely friendly old pub/ bar.Great home cooked food and good size portion, Definitely recommend anyone to go here, not a huge menu, but there is something for everyone's taste. Will definitely return
The other pub in Higham was closed unfortunately but we were told about this one by the postman. The food was lovely and its a really nice old pub. The cheesecake and fishcakes were home made and delicious. Well recommended
