Launceston Place

Amazing offer and wonderful food. The restaurant had the special offer menu at our table so we didnt have to explain. Its a quiet simple if a touch classy place. Food excellent, wine awesome and great service. Thats all i ask for. We are looking forward to returning as soon as possible.

So, some people think Launceston Place is "appauling". Would it also be "atroughcious", or even "horrable"? Actually, I can understand some don't like this place. These must be the same people who like eating at Gordon Ramsay's, i.e. wasting their dollars on an overrated, expensive, and much talked-about "dinner experience", feeling reassured by TV commercials featuring the chef selling just about anything. But Launceston Place isn't on TV, never will be. So let appauling patrons avoid it altogether, everybody will feel better about it.

Well, unlike the previous review, I thought the service was very good indeed. Good food, good value, good atmosphere and a very attentive waiter. Enough said!

Dined there as a group on a trip to London, and whilst the food itself was not bad, the service really was atrocious - never have I experienced such rudeness in a restaurant. I really would not recommend a visit - the food was hardly much to write home about anyway.

The restaurant has appauling service. Due to an earlier disagreement with the waitress, our party decided not to leave any tip. After hearing this, the waitress took our cash payment, but shortly returned, claiming that it was 10 pounds short.

We do not think we miscounted our banknotes (but nonetheless we paid the extra 10 pounds, giving the waitress the benefit of the doubt). I do not recommend this restaurant!

Easily got a booking on a Friday night for the Friday night ( is that good?) and was put at a table in the first room which felt a bit socially isolated. Not exactly a hip happening restaurant and may have seen better days but obviously has a regular clientele. Feels like an ageing hotel restaurant with the decor needing a bit of an overhaul. However, the staff were very polite and attentive enough once their attention was caught. Soon were joined by one other couple on the table nearby who found our conversation more interesting than their own which was littlle disturbing.Nonetheless the lamb was lovely and the dessert even more so. Won't be rushing back.

I am a frequent visitor to London from Menlo Park, California. This is a small town about 25 miles south of San Francisco. We dine at this excellent restaurant each time we are in London.

That makes 20 times since Sept., 2000. We return again this coming July and are looking forward to dinner already !!

We went to Launcestson place in the afternoon. They had lost our reservation which we had made through London Eating, they did not appologise and were a bit sniffy, however The restaurant was not busy so it didn't really matter.

We found this restaurant a bit drab with little atmosphere,a bit like someone's living room. Which some people might like. it might be better in the evening. when its a bit busier.

The service was, overall, excellent apart from the slightly cold reception we recieved. The food was also very good. We had the set menu, which was very good value considering the quality.

I dined at Launceston Place one night earlier this week and it was fantastic. The party I was with grew unexpectedly and without batting an eyelid the very attentive staff coped beautifully. The food was delicious and even when something not on the menu was ordered, it was accommodated with no fuss whatsoever. The mutton was particularly good - so nice to have this traditional English dish back on menus and properly cooked too. The ambience was perfect and I commend this restaurant to anyone.
