“So yesterday!”; although there’s still “a real buzz” about this Mayfair old-timer, and fans do still say it’s “always enjoyable”, the “tasteless” food and “can’t-be-bothered” service really aren’t funny any more – can someone please hurry up and buy it!

“I was prepared to be disappointed, but not for it to be so staggeringly frightful”. In its 70’s heyday, Langan’s may have been “a cultural milestone, a starting block, a sign of things to come, a glimpse of what London could be”, but nowadays, says the critic, most of the cooking seems “made to push the envelope of what the kitchen could get away with”. The whole experience is “horribly depressing”.
