The Belgian Arms never disappoints. Fantastic meal, wonderful service and nice ambience. It was very busy in the restaurant but the service was first class. Drinks were served quickly, food was brought to the table just when we were ready for it and we had plenty of time to talk and enjoy the pre-Christmas meal. This wasn’t my first meal at the Belgian Arms and won’t be the last.

The food and service is always consistent and always enjoyable, we’ve been back so many times, it’s definitely one of the best Sunday roasts for miles around! We have tried many local pubs & restaurants near us, but we are happy to travel from Langley to Farnham Common because The Foresters has the best roast dinner for miles around.
