‘I Love to Hustle People at the Pub. And Then I Say…’

If you thought Fallon Sherrock only thrives under the bright lights of televised darts tournaments, think again. The “Queen of the Palace” has revealed a cheeky side to her game—she admits she loves hustling unsuspecting opponents at the local pub. Yes, the same player who stunned the world at the PDC World Championship gets just as much joy from a casual pint-and-darts session where nobody expects her to unleash world-class precision.

In a recent candid interview, Sherrock spilled the beans on her playful habit: walking into a pub, casually picking up the darts, and then wiping the floor with whoever dares challenge her. “I love to hustle people at the pub,” she confessed with a grin. “And then I say, ‘Oh, by the way, I play a little.’” A little? Try history-making trailblazer who broke down the barriers for women in the sport.

The beauty of this revelation lies in the duality of Fallon Sherrock. On one hand, she’s the fierce competitor, the woman who’s changed darts forever by proving female players can not only compete but dominate on the world stage. On the other hand, she’s still that down-to-earth girl who enjoys catching people off guard and sharing a laugh after obliterating them on the oche.

Fans adore her for this balance: the superstar who never lost her sense of humor. In many ways, her pub hustling is a metaphor for her career—people underestimated her, only to watch her rise and shock the world.

Sherrock’s playful confession shows why she’s become one of the sport’s most beloved figures. She’s approachable, cheeky, and above all, authentic. Whether it’s a global TV audience or a handful of pub regulars, Fallon Sherrock knows how to put on a show. And if you ever see her near the dartboard in your local? Take her advice, and maybe don’t put money on the line. Because the “Queen of the Palace” always has the last laugh.
