Got to be a 5/5.
We came here for a special occasion, as soon as you walk into the hotel you are greeted by the most amazing smell and fresh flowers. The porters are incredibly friendly and direct you to the afternoon tea room. We were given two options of tables and the service was lovely. Table cloth, table ware, the atmosphere were beautiful. You get your own dedicated waiter all the way through your afternoon tea who explains each course. The food was obviously delicious, and we were asked if we wanted another round of sandwiches which was a nice touch. Overall, we were really full by the end of the afternoon tea and had to take one of the deserts home with us.
We really enjoyed our visit and had a lovely time.
Couple of minor suggestions that I would able to the management:
- The takeaway box is really small and our desert unfortunately was very squashed when we got home, that was quite disappointing. A bigger box would fix this issue.
- For the price tag I think a refill of tea should be offered.
Fabulous setting, gorgeous food by chef Dom Taylor. £75 for three courses was well worth it. Cocktails were divine especially his rum 🍹 punch if a bit pricey around £19.00. I would go back for the Caribbean inspired excellent food.
I watched Dom Taylor in Five Star Kitchen on C4 and was chuffed to bits when he won 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾.
In my view it would be rude not to experience The Good Front Room in the Palm Court at The Langham. The menu caters for everyone, and the waiting staff make sure of your dietary preferences or allergies are a priority. I am a pescatarian and all I can say is the Sea Bass was emotional. The culinary detail of each of the dishes is outstanding and the flavours were literally Oh My Gosh for each mouthful. And those Plantain and Sweet Potato Chips….. knocked it out of the ball park. I have a love hate relationship with Okra and I have never eaten raw okra 😮 however that slaw is delicious 😋 . The Good Front Room is a wonderful premier dining experience with a menu that makes you need to return to ensure you have tried ALL the dishes. The music playing in the background was excellent.
I cannot fault any of the service from reception until we left. The door staff were pleasant and friendly, offered to take our photograph.
