Located in the charming village of Church Langton, just outside Market Harborough, The Langton Arms is a beautifully restored 17th-century pub that blends historic character with contemporary comfort. Following a refurbishment in August 2024, the pub has reestablished itself as a vibrant community hub with a warm, welcoming atmosphere for all guests, including families, dogs, and horses. The interior features traditional elements such as exposed beams and cozy fireplaces, complemented by modern touches. The extensive garden has been redesigned to include an all-weather dining pergola, a BBQ kitchen, and a bar, making it ideal for outdoor dining year-round.
The menu showcases locally sourced ingredients, focusing on dry-aged meats. The bar offers cask ales from The Langton Brewery, St Austell, and rotating guest ales, along with an extensive wine and gin selection.
