Langlands Garden Centre

We have passed by Langlands cafe and garden centre many times before, but we finally decided to stop by on a whim during our recent trip through the area. Upon arrival, we were impressed by the cleanliness and the nice decor of the restaurant. They have a separate coffee shop for hot drinks and cakes, which made it easy to place our breakfast orders quickly. All the dishes are made to order and were delivered to us in a reasonable amount of time. The food was of excellent quality and reasonably priced. We will definitely visit again when we pass through the area and would highly recommend Langlands to others in the meantime.

This restaurant was so bad that I wouldn't even give it to my dogs to eat. It was absolutely terrible.

This used to be a lovely place for lunch but never again. We didn’t stay. The table numbers had increased so the area felt cramped. Something had definitely changed with the food, new chef perhaps, and certainly not for the better. They used to have lovely paninis and appetising sandwiches available but today’s offering did not look appealing at all plus astronomical prices. The service, even to order, was always slow but seemed much worse today, so we left and came home wishing we’d looked at the recent reviews first. Would not rercommend.

Frequently visit the restaurant but every visit over the last few months has got worse each time. Kept giving the place another chance as either it was convenient to meet friends there or thought maybe they were just having an off day but it seems its every time now. Today finally made me realise just how bad its got. Went for Sunday lunch and it was absolutely terrible! Requested some horse radish sauce as we were having beef when paying for the meal. The waiter brought out a bowl of veg which all looked like it had been warmed up from last week it was so dry and old looking. The Brocoli was grey in places! Hospital food looks better. That was sat there going cold whilst we waited for the rest of the meal to be brought out. Finally they brought the plates of meat out with the Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes. There was 2 small slices of meat on two of the plates, I've had child portions before there with more meat. The third plate had a bit more meat but not a good amount like they used to serve. The roast potatoes were rock hard! Everything lukewarm!! Horse radish sauce didn't appear so after a few minutes I went back to the till and asked again for some. Went back to the table and started to eat some of the meal because it was just about stone cold by this point. After eating half the meal, still no sign of the horse radish sauce so made another trip to the till to ask for a 3rd time for it. There was a woman sorting orders, long hair in a pony tail, I think she could be the restaurant supervisor or something. I said how disappointed we were with the meal and the reasons why and she just shrugged her shoulders and said oh sorry about that and turned away. Rude!! No customer service skills at all. They can't even say it was because they were busy because I've never seen the place so empty on a Sunday could be due to the football being on or maybe a lot of people are now stopping going because the quality is becoming so poor but expensive because they seem to constantly increase their prices but the quality of food and service decreases every time! So very disappointing as it used to be nice.

We have been to Langlands many times on a regular basis. The food used to be exceptional for a garden centre, always busy most days. After the lockdown the meals have not been the same, it's not as busy as it once was, which speaks volumes. We and many more customers complained about the chips and to give the cafe credit, they listened and the chips now are outstanding. The last 3 times we have been, my friend loves his steak pie, but, every time the pastry is so thin, you could see through it if you held it up, this is steak pie without the pie basically. I hope they improve on this because many people just go for the pie, if not then I can see them losing more custom. If when we go again and the pastry is like this, we will be sending it back. It's not good enough for the price we pay.
