Lang's Restaurant in South Ribble

Went with friends to a tribute night last Friday. It was soooo busy. But this did not affect the food or the service. Excellent time. Thank you to everyone involved in making it an amazing night. Michael Buble tribute was really good. We have never been before, but we will be back. Would highly recommend.

Loved it! Been a few years since we’ve dined here, love the new look and the added Xmas decorations were wonderfully done. Food exceptional all round and excellent service. 5 stars!

Always brilliant service & menu x

Superb food and the restaurant was amazing, very well decorated. Staff fantastic

Food is amazing, staff are fantastic. Definitely be coming again soon.

Its a 10 from me .... everything was perfect 🥰 thanks 😋😋😋

Fri night fixed price menu. 2 courses for £25.00 The menu has sufficient choices to choose a starter and main course. Restaurant well laid out with a pleasant atmosphere. Service was a tad slow but the food was well presented and hot /cold as the dish required. Drinks a touch on the expensive side but I guess this subsidises the £25 menu. Overall a pleasant evening with good food.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. One of my faves

Fabulous food and service as usual xx

First visit there this evening. Opted for the 2 Courses for £25. There were 4 of us and we ate a variety of dishes. All were top quality and they do not skimp on the quantity of food provided. Atmosphere is great and the quality of service is outstanding. Will definitely visit again.

Absolutely incredible food. Highly recommend

I had an overall disappointing experience, especially given this was meant to be a special occasion. From the start, the service felt rushed, and the staff’s attitude was far from accommodating. I had specifically requested a space for a wheelchair user, and when I double-checked this upon arrival, the staff member at reception was condescending, making me feel as though my concern was unnecessary. When we were seated, we were asked if we wanted drinks but were not offered a menu, leaving us to ask for options—which was clearly received as an inconvenience to the staff. Since we had pre-ordered, the same receptionist came to confirm our choices. However, he then proceeded to patronize me regarding my dietary restrictions. As I’m pregnant, I requested my meat well done to avoid any risks, but he lectured me, saying it would ruin the meal. I am fully aware that well-done meat isn’t as flavorful, but my health comes first, and his tone was rude and dismissive. While the food itself was good and everyone enjoyed their meal, the service continued to fall short. When it came time for dessert, we were left waiting for over 20 minutes just to place an order. After finishing our meals, plates sat uncleared for a while, and I had to ask for the bill, which also didn’t arrive promptly despite the restaurant being busy. Then, after finally receiving the bill, we were abruptly asked to move to the bar to make space for another party, even though we were still reviewing the bill and had drinks on the table. When I said we needed a bit more time, we were pressured again just five minutes later. For a restaurant where we had just spent over £500, this felt incredibly rude and unprofessional. For a place that charges premium prices (including £5.20 for a Diet Coke), the service was subpar. The least they could do was allow us to finish our drinks and properly check the bill before being ushered out. We will not be returning.

Lovely evening, as ever. Food and wine delicious.

One of the best places to eat in the Preston area. Never fail to deliver a fantastic dining experience. Highly recommended.

Great to have a top quality genuinely fine dining restaurant back in the area. Decor and atmosphere are excellent with great service from the whole team at Langs. Food was superb as we had expected from the original owners back at the restaurant. Certainly a must visit and we can't wait to return. Obviously Langs is very popular so make sure you reserve ahead.

Lovely place, very cosy , great food and very attentive staff

Beautiful restaurant, stunning decor. Staff lovely and the food was divine.

superior quality superior foods

Went today for the first time for our wedding anniversary and it was absolutely perfect! we struggle finding restaurants with this level of impeccable service, quality food and a great atmosphere. Thank you Lang's for a great evening - we were blown away by everything. Would 100% recommend to anyone!

Lovely roast dinner,pleasant environment and great staff.

It's a great place to eat food is great great atmosphere

Great food and service. Book in early as they do get very busy, even mid week. Highly recommended.

Lovely place , food and service - how can you go wrong ? Was a Saturday lunchtime ? Not overly busy - so the staff had lots of time to serve you with their delicious items. Was never rushed with anything ? Both food and drink was lovely . Not the cheapest of places ?but you do get value for money and the food is superb . Will be visiting again soon .

Had a great time food was amazing really enjoyed it

First time back in years, really enjoyed the food from the set menu. Decor creates a cool, dark vibe. Nice setting. Service was a little off.

great place, great staff and better food, definitely on the cards if you fancy a nice meal out

Food is lovely but very small portions and expensive. The staff said the right words but without feeling and we felt rushed. You're given a time slot and when you need to leave by. Felt like a conveyor belt, but good for them, they are very busy.

Delicious lunch in most pleasant surroundings and relaxing atmosphere

Visited for the first time on Thursday and it was incredible! The food was delicious and can definitely recommend the crispy beef starter. Service was excellent from everyone. All-in-all a perfect evening and we will definitely be returning.

Absolutely fantastic. Food excellent. Not a lover of the foliage. Nice to see Peter back

Had another lovely meal at Langs celebrating my sisters birthday with family. Staff always super helpful and polite and the food and chefs always on point turning out some fantastic dishes. Thank you guys

This food is amazing here, very tasty but the portion sizes are tiny!! I have never before had 2 courses and been so hungry I had to have a desert. £90 pp and we went home hungry. Won't be rushing back.

Great food atmosphere and service Its not cheap but food is excellent

Lovely refurbishment adds that special occasion feel. Good decor, alcoves, bar and restaurant with ope tables or personal booths. Staff immaculate in every aspect, genuinely friendly. Food was as expected, well presented and tasty with it. We found everything wax ace and more, to make for a happy and memorable eating experience.

Great food and service, very friendly and welcoming.

Our favourite restaurant,been going to Pauls restaurant since he had Botanic Bistro in Church town. Introduced our son to it and now our grandson,16 months old. Always go Christmas Eve,fabulous food ,great atmosphere and lovely staff.

Visited on the mid-week special menu, great choice, excellent service 10 out of 10 to the chef and kitchen staff. Will be back soon.

Food is just stunning. Most definitely quality over quantity but still come away very full. Worth every penny. Staff very attentive yet not intrusive.

Beautiful setting staff attentive food fantastic great place

Couldn’t fault this place. Everything was fantastic.

Busy with people and decor! Food okay.

Fantastic evening. Food was amazing, even better that it was before if that’s even possible! Great service, great atmosphere. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Wonderful food and great staff. Thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas party here. Recommended.

Excellent food and really good value

Sensational. Every aspect 100% delivered. Army ant 🐜

Had lunch today with 4 friends. As always the food was delicious , the service first rate, & the restaurant itself was beautifully decorated for Christmas. Well done Langs!

Lovely place nice atmosphere … service the young ladies were lovely the gentleman who was organising things not so great 😔 quite abrupt 😔. Food four roast dinners one vegetarian without meat … was told no vegetarian gravy and I couldn’t have a small amount of cheese sauce without buying cauliflower mornay 😔🤷‍♀️ so vegetarian option sadly lacking … sweets were lovely cheese selection only 3 soft cheeses on offer … served beautifully a better selection of cheese is required… no water offered for the table .. such a shame a beautiful place …😔

A truly fantastic experience, the service and food are exceptional. i would highly recommend a visit you will not be disappointed

So glad this restaurant is back

Booked a table here for last night with a group of friends. Interesting menu. The food was exceptional. The black pudding fritters were packed with flavour, for main course I had shepherds pie with seasonal vegetables which was excellent. Finally, Jaffa cake cheesecake with ice cream of the same flavour. A really interesting selection of tastes and flavours. I would definitely recommend this place. Give it a try.

I've enjoyed it both times I've been. Has a crab fritter to start, katsu curry main last time. Service is decent, they seem quite busy. I'd recommend it

First time here and certainly won't be the last. The staff are attentive , the setting is superb for any occasion and the food was absolutely faultless.

Our first visit to this restaurant , and we weren't disappointed. Food excellent, service exceptional.

Celebrated my birthday with 18 other people. Everything from start to finish was great. Our hosts were very friendly and attentive. The food was presented lovely and tasted even better. It was surely an evening to remember!

Food was fantastic and realistically priced. Highly recommend

Sunday lunch with friends and great food & drink along the way

Chicken was a little over done but food was great definitely would go again

Outstanding food, unparalleled service and excellent atmosphere. Langs smash it everytime without fail. Highly recommended and only regret they are no longer in Ainsdale 😭

What a lovely place, staff friendly and very informative. The meal was delicious, presentation was excellent and all i can say is i cannot wait to go again!

Absolutely fantastic lunch today! We thoroughly enjoyed the food! The staff were friendly and welcoming and the food arrived quickly! We love the decor and looking forward to returning again!!

Excellent food served by excellent staff.

We are regular at this restaurant. Food is always good but sometimes rushed especially if the restaurant is busy. The biggest disappointment is the Head waiter who is mostly too grumpy again when restaurant is busy. We recently went their on time after booking the table and were left at the entrance for while. The head waiter who knows us did see us but never smiled, said hello or anything to the effect that I will see you in a minute. After a while and literally asked us what do we want which we felt was quite rude. He then said your table is not ready and just wait at the bar. We waited another 39 minutes before we were offered the table. Not a single person offered any apology for the delay including the owner manager lady who generally is very pleasant. Our starters were little burnt and there was then a very long delay for the main courses. Overall we came out disappointed and a bit insulted by the behaviours of head waiter specially and general delay in the food. It is a good place but they are probably victim of their own success.

Magnificent service and atmosphere. Food was excellent. Cant rate it highly enough

Went to watch Lloyd and Sylvester play live music 🎶

Fantastic meal, very busy but service excellent. Staff friendly.

Paul & Clare. It is good ro see you back where you belong. Great food and quality service. A true feature of Lang's restaurants. Geoff Williams

Attended a 40th and visited for the first time , what a fantastic restaurant, food and entertainment was top notch . Staff was relentless at keeping everyone topped up with drinks , highly recommend.

Just had a lunchtime treat... sea bream as a main was the best!!washed down with pinot grigio and the waitress singin happy birthday while servin my desert..what more could u ask for!!!👏👏👏🍹🕺🕺🍻🍾👍

Can’t recommend enough best place in Preston and surrounding areas Italian orchard looks nice but langs food is on another level !!

First time visited since owner returned to the venue earlier this year. Wasn't disappointed. 3 of us attended for dinner and all thoroughly enjoyed. Venue looks great, staff very friendly and helpful, food amazing. Already booked next visit

Lovely meal with my Wife today. The food was nice & the service was amazing.😁👍🍴🥂☕

5 adults and a child went to celebrate my wife's birthday 🎂. Very friendly staff,very tasty food and great service. One minor fault,our nearly 3 years old grand daughter not impressed with no fruit shoot drinks ha ha. Perhaps time to have a bit more choice for the children. But the adults will definitely be back. Well done all

A very special place. The staff are absolutely brilliant. The food divine. The setting perfection.

I'm so pleased that I've friends that recommend lovely places to eat! My visit today was fantastic and Langs is now my most favourite place to eat! We went for 12-2pm lunchtime special and had the 2 courses option for £23.

Delicious food and the service was excellent 👌

Food is excellent, staff are very pleasant and efficient, would highly recommend.

Went for my birthday. First time visit. Was a very pleasant surprise. Food and service were excellent. Menu extensive with enough vegetarian options. Place was beautifully decorated. Will be returning very soon.

The food and service was excellent My only complaint was there was a 10% service charge for parties of 8 and over. We were a group of 5 adults and 4 children and had this charge added to the bill. I personally think this should only apply to adults

Absolutely loved this place. Happy to pay higher prices for food and service when it's this good. The staff where very efficient, the food came our super fast, didn't have to wait for anything and every dish tasted like it had been made for a food critic. We loved it lang time!!!!!

Disappointing 3rd visit since the restaurant re-opened. We were taken to a table in the main restaurant area and given a single menu (a la carte on one side with 2/3 course menu and Tapas options on the other side). We ordered a bottle of wine while we made our food selection. On ordering we were advised we would have to move to the high tables in the bar or a low table in the walkway between the bar and restaurant that were empty and lacking in atmosphere. When we asked why we would have to move because we had chosen Tapas we were told ‘that’s just the way it is’. I’m not sure why we were initially sat at a table and given a menu to choose from that we couldn’t eat there. No rationale was given for segregating diners based on the menu selection so we left and took our business elsewhere.

Amazing restaurant, super friendly and professional staff and food just delicious.

Excellent, shown to a table at the bar while the table was being set. Offered a range of specials to consider, meal order taken at the bar to speed up the process, food was very good, service just as good. Not the cheapest place I’ve been to but the quality was very good

A lovely fresh and well presented restaurant, the staff are friendly, welcoming and attentive. There is a wide variety of choice and the food was delicious and great portion sizes. Overall we had a fantastic meal in a lovely setting and found it to Be great value for money, we will be returning again.

Food was out of this world, yes its not cheap but the surroundings and food well make up for this, the staff are all very smart and polite, cant recommend this place enough.

Great dining experience, gorgeous food, nice ambience, lovely and friendly staff. Special shout out to Megan for making us amazing drinks which were creative & refreshing! Thank you for your hospitality, we will definitely visit again :)

Went midweek and had the 2 course offer. The food was really tasty 😋 will definitely be going back.

A great meal and service. A bit of a faff with the bill having drinks we didn’t have; but soon resolved.

Welcome back Lang's ! Delighted that Lang's have returned to Preston after a stunning refurbishment, it is a family run business with some wonderful and loyal staff. The Chef patron produces outstanding food and as we have visited twice in the last couple of weeks we can highly recommend the sea bass ,duck and thai monkfish. It has to be said also that the puddings are beautifully presented especially the selection of puds and I particularly fell in love with the pear drop ice cream. This is a hidden gem, first class cuisine in a friendly and extremely well run restaurant.

Food is lovely, staff appear to be well trained but I think it is a little over priced

A lovely place to go for a meal with family staff are excellant please vist

The only criticism I would say is that we thought there was far too much 'greenery' around the restaurant. Other than that the decor was very nice.

Omg. This place! Was recommended but jeez. So so lovely. They were amazing with my parents especially my dad who has dietary issues. Nothing was too much trouble. Can't speak highly enough of the food staff and ambience x if your thinking of going stop thinking and just book! Thank me later. Thanks Langs . 😊

The food was beautiful, well done to the chef. Sadly the rest of the staff let you down. I rang to make a reservation and despite leaving details my call was never returned. A week later I called again and managed to book a table for 4 people. I was told I would only have the table for 2 hours (not the relaxing meal I was hoping for, but I was aware of the chefs reputation so booked). During our main course we were persistently (4 or 5 times) asked if we were finished when one of our party was clearly still eating. This became increasingly irritating and ruined a lovely meal. When we finished our main we enquired about getting coffee with soya milk. The waitress said she would enquire. After 10 minutes of waiting another waitress arrived and we just asked for the bill. We won’t be returning and wish the chef good luck. We have been to this location under previous management and the atmosphere was a great deal nicer.

Langs of Longton was outstanding threwout the service staff is very professional food was on time perfect

Last orders on a Sunday night, 9.50 pm. Joke.

Food was nice enough but quite small portions and prices of drinks were extortionate. £6.50 for a bottle of sparkling water.

Absolutely Amazing, Welcome back.. Great atmosphere, food, service and the Staff are outstanding. Thanks to Paul, Claire, Kelly and all the team. We will be back soon definitely xxxx

We went as a party of 5 on the 8th march,restaurant just reopened and looked so great,really slick service,great options on the menu and the food was so great,tasty,great portions,seasoned to perfection,presented perfectly.we were all so very impressed and can’t wait to go back!one of our party had food allergies and that was catered for completely.thank you so much for a great evening

Fantastic food, decor and staff

Absolutely amazing meal. Would highly recommend this place.
