Langley Tavern in New Forest

We had to wait over an hour and a half for a burger and chips, yes they were busy but they were cooking one order at a time before starting the next which is really not acceptable in a commercial kitchen. They must sort their way or working out. Such a shame as lovely garden and they could make a killing from local trade, the nearby campsites and visitors passing to go to the beach. Food was OK but nothing special. I won't be eating there again.

Great value food, and the staff were brilliant. We were a large group and had not been able to book, but the team were still very accommodating.

After being on the beach looked up local pubs suitable for children. The langly looked good nice garden. Went in side to order food. We're told food stopped at 6.45 it was 6.40 . Two meals came out within a few minutes and they were luke warm My husbands followed we returned the first two another meal appeared childrens came last asked for cutlery and was told it was on side which was empty. Sour faced waitress said the manager would come to see us which they didn't. The menu was . limited as on line had fish and chips ,mac cheese etc.when food came out I must say it wasn't bad but won't rush back, 6 .

Visited with a friend for lunch, nice menu we both had baguettes the portion sizes are very generous at great prices. Would definitely recommend

I’ve visited the langley tavern a few times in the summer due to family living in the area. Every time we’ve come down, it gets better every time. Due to Covid, they have put in place hand sanitizer stations which has made me and my partner feel safe. The staff are always pleasant and very welcoming. We've ordered food a few times and on their busiest days there can be a wait but it’s always quicker than we have expected. The food has always been lovely and enjoyable. The pub has a lovely atmosphere, it’s great for families! Alway love coming to the langley and will be visiting more in the future.

Having stopped by after the beach we were pleasantly surprised by the food. Generous portion sizes and a menu that kept all the family happy from young to old!!! My favourite had to be the toasties, served with chips and salad, I couldn’t eat it all!! My children loved the burgers and happily played on the play area. The garden is well maintained and the staff very polite and friendly.

Came to the Langley with a group of my friends after a day down the beach. We ordered food and it was lovely, definitely recommend. The portion size is very generous and the ploughman’s looked amazing!! The staff were very nice and polite. The waiting staff checked on us during our meal and asked if we needed anything else and if everything was okay with our meal. I highly recommend the Langley tavern, it’s a lovely family friendly pub. Thank you for the great visit, will definitely be coming back!!

We’ve been here a few times now and have always been very impressed. The food is lovely with generous portions and the staff are very welcoming. The kids love the play area in between bites of their burgers and fish fingers! We always enjoy our visits here whether it’s a quick drink or stopping for food. Would definitely recommend!

We were the only ones eating, and now i know why. The food tasted like its from the freezer food chain, Iceland. Very basic and no flavours. For a pub these days to serve this , it’s pretty dire. We waited 25 mins for any food to come to the table and then it took 15 mins before friends got theirs, by which time we’d finished while they were starting. No apologies given for this. Would not recommend to anyone.

Visited last summer and was impressed with both the food and the service. The service is still good, just dissapointed with the food. Arrived late on a Saturday afternoon to be informed there was no ice for any drinks. Surprised no one thought to pop down to the local supermarket. We had loaded nachos to share as a starter, which was a disappointment for just under £10. Plenty of nachos but poor quality toppings. My partner ordered jacket potato with cheese and baked beans, which she had to send back as the beans were stone cold. We plan to return for a drink when we are next camping in the area, as the staff are very friendly, and it is a nice pub but we wont be ordering any cooked food.

We used to come to the Langley a lot, nice big garden decent play area friendly staff and the food although it’s a limited menu is pretty good. This is the first time going back since lockdown and once again all good and as we expected. A great idea is you can now order at your table and the drinks are brought to you and quite quickly which is great. BUT what isn’t great is the instant inclusion of a 10% surcharge on your order Especially seeing as i asked if I could go to the bar and pay I was told no it must be ordered from the table,I get we are trying to be covid safe but at times when businesses are doing their best to get customers back why should I be forced to pay a 10% surcharge to have a round of drinks bought to my table ! This really does not encourage me to sit here with my family knowing every time I Order we will pay a further ten percent especially when I’m not allowed to go to the bar,but I’m told if I sit inside I can order at the bar It’s ridiculous there are plenty more pubs locally I can go to and NOT be expected to be hit with this stealth tax I won’t and my family won’t be back u till it’s gone or I can buy at the bar

What a full plate of lovely picked and cheese and a little pork pie too! Enough to share between two for a modest lunch but since I had my little dog with me I already was sharing 😉 Lovely pickles, my only suggestion however as there were gherkins and pickled onions too, would be to have coleslaw maybe instead of one of the pots. But not a criticism as I live all things pickled. Wonderful massive garden, ample parking, and the ladies serving were lovely too. Very enjoyable Sunday lunch. I'd highly rate their ploughman's as there is a brilliant variety to it. Next time we'll aim a little later to catch the live music on a Sunday.

Having posted an honest review,and having had a ‘response’ from manager I’m even more disappointed. Please check you cctv again and note we were right next to the empty table you reportedly delivered the food to and nobody delivered anything. Also, perhaps ask whether one of your staff members remembers dropping a tray of drinks with food? Could that of perhaps been our food and she forgot to tell the kitchen to do the order again? Look forward to your response.

Decided to stop for lunch as they have a lovely garden area and we had the dog. Ordered two sandwiches and waited ~45mins but no show. I went to ask where our food was and was told that it had been sent out already, implying we’d had it. I know mistakes happen and if the staff had apologised and said there had clearly have been a mix up I would have accepted that. But to be told I’d already had my food - therefore implicating me as being either a liar or suffering from very severe memory loss. The bar member was polite. But clearly needs to consider how to manage complaints. There was no issue getting a refund for my food. Although no good will in offering a refund for the two rounds of drinks we’d had whilst waiting though.

We stopped here as it was close to where we were staying. First off they only serve sandwiches and chips!?! These were served in a paper box and when I asked for cutlery I was told they couldn't give me any because they'd been told not to due to Covid!?!? Are you a pub/restaurant serving food or not!? Restaurants are open serving on plates with cutlery incase you hadn't noticed. Second of all- play area was closed!? Even parks are open? All a bit over the top, either open or don't. Food was nothing special. Didn't return because of the craziness.

Visited the Langley Tavern last week with my partner and can only rate 5 stars! Had a sandwich and wow what a sandwich! Fortunately it came in a box so I was able to take the 2nd half home as it was huge!There was a great choice of fillings which was nice and good to see some vegan options available too. Some people might think that only doing sandwiches is dull but not with the amount of choice and for the healthier option the salad boxes I saw coming out looked amazing! The staff are doing a brilliant job in such tough conditions. Everything is so clean with lots of sanitisation stations to hand and they do this always with a smile on their faces!All socially distanced restrictions in place so felt so safe so 100% hats off to the crew at the Langley Tavern, we will definitely be back and not just for the sandwiches!

I visited the Langley Tavern last week and it was excellent. Despite the difficulties in respect of Covid my children also had a great time. There was a wide selection of sandwiches and salads available and we were spoilt for choice. The establishment was extremely clean with plenty of hand sanitising stations available and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Great job guys, we can't wait to visit again.

I visited the Langley Tavern recently & was so impressed by how everything is so well organised. The food is excellent with such a great choice, from salads to chunky sandwiches & torpedo rolls with tasty fillings. A lovely garden to sit & relax in with plenty of space for children to run around in, the children’s play area is temporary closed for safety reasons due to covid. Safety is of paramount importance with plenty of hand sanitizer & a one way system for ordering drinks & food which will be brought to your table by the happy & cheerful staff. i really cannot praise this delightful pub enough & is definitely worth a 5 star rating. Well done to all.

A disappointing visit. Having checked opening times (very restrictive) we discovered the children's playground taped up and a tiny range of food consisting of just sandwiches. Needed to take our disappointed children elsewhere.We understand that there are COVID restrictions, but perhaps be a little more informative when people phone and make a special journey.

My partner and I were meeting up with her daughter, son-in-law and three grandchildren for the first time since Covid-19 lockdown. I'd phoned abot 10 days before to book the big table under the gazebo - no query was raised.But when we arrived there was nothing under the gazebo - no tables, no chairs, just an empty space.However, on querying this the staff sprang into action and provided two tables, six chairs and a highchair. The tables and the highchair were sanitised. The staff wore a smile on their faces and nothing was too much trouble. We enjoyed our lunchtime. The menu for outside was limited but it was all good and served in individual closable cartons, which also acted as "doggie boxes" for us to take surplus food home.The Langley was taking part in the August "Eat Out to Help Out" cheme so our bill was less than we expected - a welcome bonus.So, despite the mix-up, well done to all at the Langley Tavern for sorting out the problem so quickly.

What a beautiful pub garden, well maintained and pretty flowers! super friendly staff. We went Saturday around 6pm, although full inside we sat in the garden. The girls where really friendly behind the bar and made sure we put are details in the book for covid regulations! Definitely felt safe and that the girls behind the bar took the covid risk seriously, we could hear them in the other bar telling people to sit down and not go near the bar. The younger girls where polite when delivering drinks. Thank you all staff for a lovely end to our visit to the waterside!!

This is a nice place to come for a pub lunch and a pint. The food was alright, and there is plenty of seating area outside. The staff are friendly and professional. I wouldn’t mind coming back again.

Just left and had such lovely safe time.With my 2 girls and husband and myself. Out in garden fab band playing and everyone at tables outside far apart. Menu simple but so nice.. really really nice!! Can’t wait to go again. Staff really friendly and everyone looked happy tobe back.Thanks for making our first visit out so nice. I was very nervous but felt really safe and it was all under control.

Visited the Langley today , the 2nd day of reopening after lockdown. They have a large marquee, a well thought out one way system, and drinks served to you by lovely staff. We had a lunchtime sandwich, made using bread from the local bakery, and it was delicious. I would highly recommend the bacon, brie and cranberry. It was almost too much for one person, but I managed it

We visited here for a quick lunch. I think as soon as arrives we were disappointed with the staff’s attitude. Our presence felt like a chore. Food was not particularly enjoyable. Plenty of better places locally! Won’t visit again.

On holiday in the area and looking forward to a pint and perhaps meal in this well recommended establishment. Unfortunately I stood in the lounge bar for over 10 minutes and no one bothered to come and serve, perhaps the loud music next door was a distraction. I tried leaning over the bar to attract staff attention but to no avail nor did coughing or closing the door loudly. So I am afraid after 10 mins we decided to give up and left. Perhaps staff could occasionally look through to the other bar in future. We may try again and hopefully can be more positive and complimentary

we booked an evening table for 5 on August Bank holiday Sunday. Very happy with the food quality and the speed of service. Apparently they were only serving for booked meals as they did not want to have too many orders that would create a backlog. This policy is only for busy holiday days. I asked each of our group for an overall rating and received 5 grade five replies.well done Langley and thanks to the friendly staff

We were staying at Lepe beach campsite, a party of 24. Due to weather etc we decided to eat out, we rang ahead to see if they could cater for a large group. When we got there a slight miscommunication of when we were coming but the lady in charge that evening sorted everything. Food was fantastic, the facilities themselves were lovely. Great for families and play park for the kids. Friendly , polite helpful staff. Lovely pub. Nothing was too much trouble. Sorry I didn't get any particular names but you were all fab!

We’d been to Lepe, but the cafe there was crowded (& expensive). We definitely did the right thing by coming here for lunch. The food was piping hot, served quickly, surroundings were very nice & service good. What more do you need?

Visited several times on holiday and loved the food, the garden and staff. Really friendly and great location. Enjoy British food with a range of drinks.

Huge garden with small play areaMany picnic benches plus a decked area and a decent sun trapPub itself is alright and still a traditional public bar lounge bar which is goodStaff friendly beers available are goodThen the menu for food very basic and doesn’t look pleasing to the eyeThe food not good at allThe kids lunches both had items missing and the burgers the most tasteless burger ever !!!! It was hard dry and at best would make a good door stopWill definitely return for garden and drinks But won’t touch the food until staff are taught to cook properly

This is a great pub, a little pricy but a good choice of beers, larger, cider and shorts. if management read this I would recommend offering some craft beer. Maybe the local brew by vibrant brewery. A decent selection of bar snack for humans and for dogs. It’s definitely a chicken in a basket kind of place. If you order food. Just expect greasy spoon style dining. Loads of parking. I’m 80% sure there is wheelchair access but I think you may have to phone ahead to find out. If it’s a sunny day the garden is accessible and is massive! Dogs allowed and a decent play area for the kids. Back in the day they had trampolines and swing boats and it was heaving. Also in days gone by the food was fantastic. But as we said goodbye to panda pop so we did to trampolines and decent pub grub at the Langley. Bar staff are a delight!! Very friendly and very helpful! Would recommend for a few drinks on a hot summers afternoon out in the garden.

We popped in here for lunch today and the food was very good, it came out promptly and the service was great. The beer garden is great for kids and dogs are allowed which is great. Definitely worth a visit.

The garden is great for kids. Otherwise you wouldn’t go there. Pretty dismal interior and over an hour wait for very average food.

They were very friendly and accommodating when asked if dogs were invited. Really nice service from everyone and food was lovely!! Kids loved the garden with a park and dog loved the free treats and water. Definitely return.

Use this pub a lot through the summer, fantastic garden and great facilities for children whilst being very reasonably priced for drinks

Lovely family friendly pub on the way to or from leap beach. Good selection of beers with guest ales. Large garden with play area for the kids plenty of seating and nice food.

We sat in the pub garden, family area, for over an hour waiting for a child burger meal an adult cheeseburger meals and a sharing platter. We were not told there would be a long wait and spent most of this time placating a very cranky 3 year old who just wanted his dinner!

We popped into the Langley Tavern today for a bit of lunch, and the choices made from the very limited menu were Scampi and Fries, Fish and Chips and a Childs burger meal. THe childs meal seemed O.K, the Scampi portion was a bit mean and the fries were rather pale. The Fish and Chips were however inedible! The fish was over baked, and I don't know what sort of fish was in the batter, but it was revolting. The chips were chunky pieces of tasteless something or other, that didn't taste anything like potato.

We've been here a few times now and are never disappointed with the quality of food and level of customer service. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Sometimes there is a wait for food, but this is due to the pub being super busy as it has such a huge South facing garden. Great kids play area too and they are very dog friendly. Would definitely recommend and will be coming back very soon!

Stopped off for lunch. Place is really nice especially the Garden Lounge.

Found this lovely pub, having spent time on Lepe beach.We were greeted by really friendly staff, & our 2 weimaraner's were welcomed.We ordered the Fish & Scampi meals cooked to perfection.

Really lovely place to stop for drink and food. very dog friendly. The food was absolutely gorgeous and cooked and served beautifully. Good size portions. The sharer is huge and well suitable for 3 people. Lovely huge garden with playground. Near Lepe country park and do pop in - really highly highly recomended - one of the best meals we have had out

We popped in for a bite to eat on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Lovely and quiet compared to the cafe on the beach front and great to go into a toasty warm pub and get out of the elements. Food and service was great and prices were very reasonable. Dog friendly and lovely big garden area

This is a little lovely friendly pub offering food although they stop serving at 7 which is a little early I think. We arrived at 7.15 and they very kindly cooked us a quick meal (I think because we had children) and couldn't have been more helpful. It has a great play area and large beer garden. Prices are the same as all others In the area

Visited here on the way to Calshot to watch the Red Arrows. Ordered food and sat in conservatory whilst children played in large garden area. Staff were polite and helpful. Husband ordered ploughmans which was very big. I had vege burger which was edible but nothing special. Boys had burger and chips and fish fingers and chips. Chip portion size was very large. Food a little over priced for what it was. Children had a great time outside on play equipment. Filled us up before our visit to Calshot. Lovely atmosphere. Ok as a stop off point.

Lovely clean place. Friendly and good food.The garden was well kept, child and pet friendly. Shaded marquee for sunny days.

Tuvimos un almuerzo muy tardía en el pub's con gran jardín, en un día soleado. La comida era muy buena y fresca y no tardan mucho en llegar.

Fuimos allí para el almuerzo. Menú era pequeña pero sonaba bien. Sin embargo, la comida cuando llegamos fue un poco decepcionante. Hamburguesa de pollo era un pollo cocinado más procesados patty posiblemente de congelados. Y los scampi tenía cinco veces más pasta de gambas, no podría incluso probar las gambas. La salsa tartar que había en el menú ir con cigalas resultó ser de sachet heinz. . .

Visited The Garden Lounge at the Langley Tavern today for some food in the sun. Reasonably priced, great service and lovely food. Well recommended

Pintoresco, con un agradable pub Preciosa zona al aire libre para los días soleados. La comida era encantador y el personal era muy amable.

Estuvimos aquí en camino a casa de costa, con un menú limitado y servicio de comida. La comida era agradable pub grub! Los niños disfrutaron de sus hamburguesas y tuvimos scampi. Muy servicial y señora tras la barra.

El Langley Taberna tienen habitaciones también. No son 5 estrellas de lujo (leer; básico), pero si buscas un lugar para descansar por la noche, las habitaciones están muy bien para el precio. La señora de la tierra, nos dieron la bienvenida, nos enseñó la habitación...

Buen ambiente, buen servicio, excelente gambas y patatas fritas, junto con una buena cerveza local. . . Justo lo que el doctor.. El interior es luminoso y agradable aunque un poco pequeña. Hubiera preferido el televisor a la hora del almuerzo. Bonito jardín exterior con...

A lovely little pub to come to if you're in need of a chilled afternoon, with good food. The sharing platter is superb, and also has a quaint dog friendly pub garden, along with a little park perfect for kids. They also have live music every week, which adds a great atmosphere to the place. Overall, what's not to love about this little gem of a pub?

We were en route from Calshot beach to Lepe. We were under the impression (wrongly!) That the cafe at Lepe was shut for renovation so thought we we would chance it here for lunch. Used lounge bar. Very modern, clean and nicely decorated. Bar staff very friendly. Menu was very limited and they admitted this. However we spotted ploughman's which was just the job. A great ploughman's arrived, warm crusty baguette, pot of butter, two pots of pickle relish, ham, cheddar, pickled onions and small green salad. All fresh and nicely presented for around £8. See pictures. This was for one ! It was so filling we haven't cooked this evening. There is plenty of areas to sit, conservatory or lovely gardens. We will return on a visit to Lepe! Thank you.

Lovely traditional Pub in Langley Very nice beer and food big garden for children in the sort real ales are available and it is very clean and pleasant a real good pub

We had the reception after my Mum's funeral at the Langley Tavern on 23rd December. Julie was so considerate and her staff (especially her mum) closed off half the pub for us and catered for about 70. The buffet was more than plentiful and the standard was amazing. Everybody commented very favourably and Mum would have been proud

Used this place a few times when on business and always enjoy the food. Nice service and at a fair price!! Enjoy!

We visited the Langley Tavern with our granddaughter and dog, to see if we could get lunch there. We have driven past many a time over the past fifty years, but never been tempted to stop by.That was a really nice lunch! The conservatory is dog-friendly, the kids' menu is pretty good, and we very much enjoyed the Italian Platter for Two.

frequent visits through the year especially new year saw a good evening dining with friends , but no longer providing the service from this pub

Stuffed!!!! Afternoon Tea very good value for moneyExcellent staff, friendly Clean facility Fantastic garden( just needs more umbrellas up for sunshade)Menu looks good Good choice of Gin, Ciders and AlesSports bar brill choice of TV channels Will return

Stopped on the way home from the beach. Lovely garden with plenty of room so everyone's not sitting on top of each other. Good kiddies play area. Friendly staff and good food. Hit the spot!

I sank a few ciders in the delightful Langley Tavern pub garden over the weekend.First I tried a surprisingly good Bulmers Cloudy and then an Old Mout of Kiwi origin. There is truly nothing finer than sinking a cold cider in a British pub garden on a sunny afternoon. I declined to eat though, as the chips were rather pricey - I went to the reasonably priced New Forest Bistro a mile north up the road in Langley.

A basic menu which could offer more than burgers or sharing platter A kids menu just for kids would be great as nice big gardens and play area . Having said that. They are a friendly bunch and the beer is always good .

If don't think I've ever been so confused about a pub in my life...On the outside, it looks incredible. Glorious looking PUB. We saw it on the way to Lepe County Park and just had to stop there on the way back for lunch. We went straight into the garden as we had a dog with us. Amazing looking garden and HUGE. Nice potted flowers and a kid play ground. I then went in to order some food and the inside just didn't look like a pub. I can't describe it. In the end I thought "well that bits obviously an extension so it looks more modern than it should".They had some decent beer on tap (ales), stuff I've never seen before. Which is a huge thumbs up for me! They also had a selection of gin (good for them!), including a local gin although no one really knew it was a local gin! The menu for the garden was tiny, some sandwiches, a burger, 2 salads and 2 platters. Not even fish and chips!However, the food was great. But again, didn't feel like pub food. All very modern, including mozzarella on the burger. But I love the modern beer and food vibe so again a tick from me but nothing as traditional as the front of the building would lead you to believe. On the way out I had a look in the front bar and all I can say is "what the..." it looked like a 15 year olds youth club with a bar in it! I was shocked. To summarise:Great locationGreat looking buildingGreat gardenGreat foodGreat drinks rangePoor options on menuVery poor interior, doesn't suit the pub

We had 2 young grand daughters with us for the w/e and had seen the large outdoor play area .There was a lot of outside seating and tables, a large wooden climbing frame with 2 slides and small climbing wall and an unusual outdoor small boat.The inside decor was attractive and modern.There were pub activities advertised.There was a small garden menu that was a bit restricted. We had adult burgers and skinny chips which came in a metal tray and children's fish finger sandwiches - an unusual pub dish . The children loved the play equipment.One disappointment was the lack of baby change facilities a sad lack in a pub with good Childrens play equipment .

Recently visited the Langley Tavern for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. Food is great, exactly what we wanted as a family and expected from a pub. Fantastic menu, beautiful garden and friendly staff. Not sure where "Colleen" above visited? Highly recommended.

They recently added a garden menu which are mainly snacks from the deep fryer. Pub staff are friendly, garden is lovely on a sunny day and they have a play area. Shame about the low quality ingredients on the menu. Fried stuff we tried were the chips, sweet potato fries and calamari. All from frozen and calamari rings were pretty chewy and tasteless. Ham toasty was barely passable as a lunch for toddler, cheap ham. Really hope they hire a chef and upgrade their burger buns, cakes, sides and get some nonbrown food on the menu.

Lovely staff and lovely food! We got the big platter and managed to swap the mushrooms for scampi and none of us like mushrooms which was really kind of them! All the food tasted great too! 10/10!

Had the cheese burger with cheesy sweet potato fries, lovely food! They have a new menu, the onion rings are lovely also! Highly recommended!

Called in for drinks. Reasonably priced and the coffee was good.Has a large seating/play/lawned area outside but too cold on the day we visited to sit there.

We've eaten here as a family before when they had the Thai restaurant which was lovely. Today we had food from their new Lounge Garden menu and it was lovely. The 3 of us all had the burger, 2 with sweet potato fries 1 with skinny fries and it was excellent. The food was presented lovely and very tasty. I personally loved the individual tiny little salt shakers (so cute).Staff are always friendly and polite and nothing seems to be too much trouble.

Nice big garden area with a decent play apparatus for children,prices of drinks were reasonable,Thai food mainly served here with the exception of a few basket meals,Sunday roasts massively overpriced at over £11 each and every week they offer chicken at a cheaper price but mysteriously it's always sold out

We were staying in a nearby campsite and walked here to get some food. What we found was a very good Thai Restaurant at this Pub. The food was nice and varied, with great flavours. Portion size was good (not too big or small, just right). Service was also good too.

Stopped in after a morning at Lepe country park due to them having a large garden and a kids play area for my boy to play in, hadn't realised they done Thai which is one of my favourite things to eat....all I can say is it was probably the best Thai food I've ever eaten. Will definitely be taking a trip back there soon.

Stopped for lunch and had Thai food. The Jungle Curry is very hot, as it says on the menu, but tasty behind the heat. Food was not dissimilar to that we had in Thailand, so authentic. Service was very friendly andhelpful, and the lounge bar was nice and cool on a hot sunny day. Tables are available outside and on the patio, and there is also a conservatory.Our one major disappointment was that when we ordered filtered coffee we were told they only did instant, something I have not recently come across in a reasonable restaurant.Prices were very reasonable and the ambience was pleasant.
