Langtrys Restaurant

Jenny banks (4 January 2008)

We dined at Langtry’s recently and were disappointed. The dining room was very nice and the staff were very polite. The starter was excellent with nice rolls and spreadable butter, but things went downhill after that. My vegetarian mushroom pastry was dry and tasteless; my companions complained that their meat was very tough. The vegetables were boring and they appeared to have been tipped out of a frozen super market bag and just microwaved. The sweet was similarly tasteless and boring.

The coffee in the lounge was good, however, the mince pies served with the coffee were huge. After a meal it would be best to serve miniature mince pies or petite fleurs.The huge mince pies were generally wasted as people found them too much.

We dressed ourselves well, however, there didn't appear to be a dress code, there were some people in jeans and jumpers which spoiled the ambience. We won't go there again - a pity, as historically, it is an interesting restaurant

A really nice restaurant, something like I've never seen before. The waiters were in full costume and the food was lovely.
