Updated review based on 3 course meal on 11th Jan:

Revisted Launceston Place. As before, every staff encountered were super hospitable, friendly and knowledgeable. They were very attentive but not overbearing.

The non alcoholic Seedlip Grove 42 cocktail drink based on Roja Parfumes certainly did hit the spot.

The amuse bouche highlighted the main star, the humble beetroot. The celeriac starter was dainty but very tasty. The vegetarian main meal was the humbly titled "mushroom". It consisted of shimeji mushrooms over large mushroom halves with foam on top and yeast around the plate. To my suprise this was very filling and it was truly appreciated the skill complexities gone into making this dish. The dessert included "Kelloggs" which had white chocolate, almond and cranberry sauce. It was divine! The other dessert was a Snickers based dessert but my favourite was th pear infused mousse with a white chocolate outer shell in the shape of, and sprayed with colour to make it look like a, pear.

To finish of this amazing dining experience I ended up a flat white, and some petite fours. The coffee is probably one of the best I have had.

I was totally stuffed by the end of the lunch to the point I did not even had dinner.



An easy 5 out of 5 from me. You will not be disappointed.

Original review based on tasting menu on 21st Nov: Came here to try out the vegetarian tasting menu. Gave it 4 out of 5.

All staff encountered were very friendly and knowledgeable. The ambience was on point.

Every dish had the 'wow' factor, each dish was a work of art- they looked so good I actually felt guilty to even touch it. The taste of every dish was excellent too. The non alcoholic drink good but not worth the steep price considering it had no alcohol.

The tasting experience lasted 3 hours.



Would I be back? Sadly not due to leaving the restaurant feeling hungry.
