Very enjoyable midweek evening as a pre-theatre meal.
I thought it might be too quiet at 6pm but not at all, it felt busy and welcoming.

I particularly liked the gin and tonic pre-dinner cocktail (frozen juniper berries in the ice) and the little amuse bouche which arrived between courses. All food was superb and the chocolate pudding was divine.

The staff were very friendly and attentive BUT they really need to work on their English accent to make themselves understood. For each course we were provided with a verbal description by the waiter/waitress but we couldn't understand any of it (2 English and 1 French guest). We all looked at each other mystified and tried to work out what we'd just been told.

This is the only aspect where Launceston Place lost points. Otherwise perfect.
