Langar is in the centre of the Stilton Cheese making area. You can walk through the fields to Colston Basset. Cropwell Bishop & Long Clwson are just a few miles away. All have delightful little shops in their reception area where you can buy small cheeses or whole ones to take home. Then at Welbeck in North Nottinghamshire there is a new dairy who are bravely making the only unpasturised cheese. This has to be called Stichelton to protect the other dairies who are obliged to pasturise their cheeses. Now that was a very sad story, nothing to do with the actural cheese and a long time ago. I'll tell you when you ask.
Langar is busy every lunch time, every dinner time, and the rooms too. I have never known so many genuine compliments about the food and the place especially from those customers who travel and dine all over the world.
I am delighted. I love all the young chefs in the kitchen team who work long hours with enthusiasm and never shout or swear. I have to do all that for them. Then there is Pascal and Mikey who say their job is to look after me when they are not looking after all of you. Next week I shall take a photograph of the team. Of course half of them will be off on holiday!
Oh yes its the Game Fair at Belvoir next week. If you come here by car from the Melton/ Grantham area avoid the country roads.
