A Modern Indo-English
Gastropub

Traditional pub favourites, authentic Indian flavours, Sunday roasts and well-kept drinks, all served with a warm village welcome in the heart of Langham.

Our Philosophy

Two cultures.
One table.

The Shepherd & Dog brings together the warmth of a traditional British village pub with the flavours and character of Indian cuisine, creating an Indo-English gastropub at the heart of the Langham community.

Our kitchen brings together British pub favourites, Indian-inspired dishes and traditional Sunday roasts, while our bar offers draught beers, ales, wines, spirits and alcohol-free choices. Whether you're joining us for a meal, a pint or simply a coffee, everyone is welcome.
