Food & Drink

Guests have a choice of dining options at the Falcon. The Lounge & Tap Bar provides a more traditional setting for Brasserie classics, while Fern brings something distinctly contemporary to the mix.

The menu changes frequently according to what is available locally, with an emphasis on ingredients rather than trends.
