Banned! Langan’s shows trackies and trainers the door

-

IT’S officially time to throw out our comfortabl­e lockdown leisure wear.

One celebrated West End haunt is taking a stand against diners who think nothing of turning up for dinner in tracksuit bottoms and trainers. Langan’s, the brasserie opposite The Ritz that was once co-owned by Sir Michael Caine and bon vivant Peter Langan, will enforce a strict dress code when it reopens later this month.

Diners are banned from wearing ‘sports or leisurewea­r’ and management asks ‘that all guests are smartly attired’. Co-owner Graziano Arricale tells me: ‘While we understand that more and more people are quite rightly comfortabl­e in fashionabl­e sportswear, we feel that Langan’s is a special place that will evoke all of the revelry and glamour of its heyday.’

The new owners have also banned single-sex parties of six or more, in the hope that raucous hen and stag parties will not darken their doors.
