I stayed at this place for two nights this summer. NEVER AGAIN!
Grossly overpriced at £55 Bed & Breakfast.
Breakfast Ha! Ha! what a joke!
The full English consisted of nearly raw bacon swimming in fat covered in baked beans and topped with a hard fried egg. Make your own tea/coffee using kettle on side table in dining room.
There did'nt appear to be a Chef in residence at the Langley Arms,
perhaps he'd gone somewhere else to get something to eat?
Disgruntled & very Dissatisfied.
I wanted a small venue for a private birthday party on a Sunday afternoon.After checking out various places in the area I found Langley Arms with a private restaurant to accomodate 30 people.Perfect.It lived up to all our expectations.The meal was booked For Sunday January 8th at 2.00.p.m.We were allowed to go in earlier to decorate with suitable banners, balloons and display our own birthday cake and phoptgraphs etc.Food from the carvery was excellent served by the most helpful chef.Then followed desserts,tea and/or coffee served by the most pleasant and helpful witresses who just pleased everyone The use of the restaurant was so private and made for a fabulous 70th birthday meal.Thanks to all in Langley Arms who helped to make Sunday 8th January a perfect surprise for my husband.We will certainly book the place again at a future date.
AVOID THIS PUB AT ALL COSTS, UNLESS YOU WANT A £2 MEAL BUT PAY £20 for an apparent Xmas Meal. would get a better xmas meal down the homeless shelter.This pub has to be in the running for the worst pub in Britain. I believe the good reviews must have been written by, staff family or friends. A resturant how can you call yourself that Come again I dont think so. Unfriendly, most pubs of this status would be laughing at the leave of service, I couldnt complain at the service as there was not any, well to call home about.
If you love the TV show "Life on Mars" you may love this place because it was like time had stopped in 1972. This place is nothing like their classy looking website indicates. The farmhouse-esque pictures are of another building behind it so driving through a housing estate to find a spit and sawdust pub comes as quite a shock.
At over £20 a head, this was the worst Xmas dinner experience I have ever had. The prawn cocktail starter was slopped on the plate next to a chunky old school garnish and served with 3 little triangles of cheap white bread. The turkey dinner main course was overcooked to the point that there were more black items on the plate than not. The jam sponge and custard desert was mysteriously covered in strawberry ice cream syrup.
To top it off,all but 1 of the xmas crackers had the same joke & toy! :D
The service was unbelievably sloppy and lack lustre. We asked for wine which was just slapped onto the table, not opened or poured.
I was out voted on walking out due to people not wanting to start the adventure of finding a new group booking elsewhere at such short notice and the only upside to the whole trip is that it is now the funny story from xmas for 2011.
Absolutely diabolical; I would NEVER eat there again. If this was prison food, the inmates would riot or go on hunger strike!
we visit the langley arms every saturday lunch time, we have a roast dinner for £5.00 its a bargain i have extra gravy and mint sauce the staff are wonderful, and like the other comment the place is not dirty and i never seen anyone sat on the front steps. lyn & al.
I would recommend this pub for their carvery. They are very tasty and more like a home made roast than any other carvery I've been to.
It can get busy on a Sunday so might be best to book if your in a larger group (4 or more). Carvery now on till 6pm on a Sunday £7.99 or Thur & Fri lunch times for £5.
You can have a choice of 3 meats or all 3, then its help your self to as much veg as you want, including Roast pots, new pots, mashed pot, cauliflower cheese, roast parsnips, mushy peas etc.
Staff have always been friendly and courteous and the cook is always happy to give my 3 year old son a small plate for us to fill from the carvery free of charge.
Quite dirty inside ,nothing like the reveiws we read before we ventured to emersons Green,very itimidating with locals sat on steps out the front of the pub,lots of swearing could be heard from inside,,not a very nice place to take the family.
Wont be bothering again
Just been to the langley for Thurseday lunch carvery. The food was excellent, very tasty,real roast potatoes, fresh veg etc. Delicious. Great value for money £5 carvery or £7.50 with a pudding. Good sized portion of meats, then help yourself to as much of the rest as you want.
The staff are warm welcoming and friendly and the area we dined in was comfortable, clean and relaxed.
Great pub, country atmosphere even though its in the middle of an housing estate. Lovely food and good service. Roast potato`s always need too be cooked longer too crisp outside off though, well that's my personal way i like my roast potato`s anyway, lol. Can get very busy on a Sunday.

Been here a few times to watch my brothers band and its not a bad pub, the bar maids are really cool and the chef is a really nice lady and made me a beef sandwich even though they had stopped serving food. What a doll.
