Happy Birthday to the quality, award-winning The Falcon Steakhouse 🎉🥳
15 years is a great achievement 🎂🥂🍻 Wishing you all at least another 15 more!
Thank you for bringing friendly top quality food, fun, and standards to Wotton 🤩

Facebook memories taking me right back to our very first day at The Falcon Steakhouse, 15 years ago today.

It’s mad to think how much has happened since this status was written. There have been plenty of ups and downs, a lot of hard work, some brilliant memories and more steaks than I’d ever attempt to count.

I genuinely feel like The Falcon is better than it’s ever been, but I’ll be honest, this past year has probably been our toughest. Looking back at what we used to pay for things compared to what we pay now is pretty scary.

There’s nothing I’d love more than to drop our prices and make us more accessible to everyone. The reality is, even with what we charge now, we’re making less profit than in any of our previous years — despite being massively busier and welcoming more people through our doors than ever before.

That’s the challenge of running a small business at the moment, but it’s something I’ll keep working at. Finding ways to improve, offer better value and make sure The Falcon is still here for many more years to come.

A massive thank you to every member of staff who has been part of The Falcon over the years, and to every customer who has walked through our doors, recommended us, returned time and time again or supported us in any way.

We genuinely wouldn’t still be here 15 years later without you all. I’m incredibly proud of what The Falcon has become and very grateful to everyone who has been part of the journey.

Here's to the future

The Government has today unexpectedly announced that Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) is being paused and reviewed, including proposals affecting Gloucestershire, and therefore Stroud District Council.

Councils in Gloucestershire are seeking further information in addition to the Secretary of State's announcement to the House of Commons made today.

The Government says the review will ensure the reorganisation process is robust, complies with legal requirements, and aligns with its wider plans for devolution and local government reform.

At this stage, we do not have further details on the implications for Gloucestershire or the timescales for completing the review.
