Diners looking for an extra-special culinary experience should make their way to the impressive Langar Hall Restaurant in Nottingham. Situated approximately 12-miles outside of the hustle and bustle of Nottingham’s city centre, Langar Hall is country-side elegance personified. Formally a country house this venue is now a renowned hotel and restaurant, and a welcome retreat for those weary of urban life. Nearby landscaped gardens boast carp ponds, ancient parkland and a stunning 12th century church. Perfect for family get-togethers, celebrations with friends or an intimate meal, Langar Hall has all the ingredients for a memorable visit. The highly skilled kitchen team have created an exciting and innovative menu that showcases the very best of seasonal, local produce.

There is plenty of delicious fayre on offer and the wide range of starters will definitely get your meal off to the right start. The twice-baked cheese soufflé is decadent and moreish, while the clear chicken broth, roast chicken wings, little gem lettuce and morels is delicious and comforting. When seasonally available the chicken liver and foie gras parfait with fig compote served on walnut and raisin toast and the crispy pigs cheek with chorizo, turnip and Granny Smith apple come highly recommended. Seafood is also a popular choice in many British restaurants in Nottingham. At Langar Hall guests can enjoy salad of Cornish crab with brown crab mayonnaise, cucumber and horseradish or the seared sea trout with slow cooked egg yolk, potato gnocchi, wild garlic and brown shrimp.

The mains are no less impressive with more delicious seafood on offer including pan-fried Cornish turbot with buttered poached langoustine, potato terrine and garden lettuce and peas. Traditionalists will love the seared calves liver and bacon with caramelized onions and herbed crushed new potatoes and a beetroot lime dressing, while diners looking for something different will enjoy the roast Devon duckling, confit leg and fondant potato with braised orange chicory and crackling. Lamb and beef are both popular choices in many restaurants in Nottingham and Langer Hall has created some exciting dishes featuring these ingredients. Try the assiette of Langar lamb with black truffle gnocchi, morels and cauliflower or the succulent char-grilled fillet of Blackberry farm beef, tongue and cheek with white onion, wild garlic and olives. Do make sure you leave room for dessert as it would be a shame to miss out on the Sicilian lemon parfait with almond milk ice cream and elderflower of the Amedei chocolate and salted caramel palette with hazelnut beignet and morello cherry sorbet.
