Nestled in the charming village of Church Langton, just outside Market Harborough, The Langton Arms is a beautifully restored 17th-century pub that seamlessly blends historic character with contemporary comfort. Following a transformative refurbishment in August 2024, this beloved establishment has reestablished itself as a vibrant community hub, offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all guests, including families, dogs, and even horses.
The pub's interior features traditional elements such as exposed beams and cozy fireplaces, complemented by modern touches that create an inviting ambience. The extensive garden area has been overhauled to include a stylish, all-weather dining pergola, providing guests with the opportunity to enjoy al fresco dining year-round. Additionally, a new BBQ kitchen and bar enhance the outdoor experience, making it a perfect spot for summer evenings.
Food is at the heart of The Langton Arms' offerings. The distinctive menu showcases a delightful array of dishes crafted from locally sourced ingredients; the menu is centered around Dry Aged meats, showcased in the pub.
The bar boasts an impressive selection of beverages, featuring cask ales from The Langton Brewery, St Austell, and rotating guest ales. An extensive wine list, and a great gin range, ensure there's something to satisfy every palate.
