Our first visit to the Langton Arms in a very long time (or the LA as it now seems to be known...) and it's very recently been done up! What an improvement, this, finally is a local worth having... with a much more varied menu than the Grey Goose.
This was also our first time seeing Lee and Su since January, mainly due to cancellations for the terrible weather, and it was great to see them again. Su was very tired because her work has gone bat shit crazy again, and I wished we'd taken our car so she could have had a drink... but still we had a good laugh and the food was excellent.
I had the chicken and pork pie, which wasn't quite what I was expecting to be honest. I thought it was going to be a pie with chicken and pork in it, which technically I suppose it was, but more accurately it was a 'pork pie' with chicken in it - heated up. The pie was lovely, but the jelly was disgusting when it was warm so I scraped that off. The pastry was pork pie pastry as well, as distinct from 'pie' pastry, and the chips were very good.
Rose had the steak which she said was perfect, and we shared a warm chocolate chip cookie with ice cream, which was confusing. I read the menu that it was warm chocolate chip cookie, brownie and cream ice ream. But it was chocolate chip cookie and brownies and cream ice cream. At first I didn't like it, it tasted too much like warm cake mixture, but after a few spoonfuls it tasted alright actually.
After dinner we all drove back to Lee and Su's and stayed up until stupid O'clock and consequently felt like shit on Saturday. Ah well... no change there then!
