Launceston Place is a charming, intimate restaurant that's perfect for a quiet and relaxing evening in Kensington

Stylish Launceston Place is an ideal retreat from busy Kensington. Under the guidance of head chef Tristan Welch (formerly at Petrus) and manager Hadi Aknin (also formerly at Petrus) Launceston Place serves modern British food within a contemporary setting. Having worked as head chef at the two Michelin starred Petrus in Knightsbridge for three years, Launceston Place represents Tristan Welch's debut in terms of creating his own kitchen. Winner of the Gordon Ramsay scholarship in 2003 and more recently of the caterer acorn award in 2007 Tristan is certainly of promising pedigree. The menu at Launceston Place offers quintessential British classics. Starters include breaded Cornish mackerel with Cambridge sauce and house smoked salmon with watercress and turnip salad. Amongst the main courses are sirloin of long horn beef ‘cobbler' with Lincolnshire cheddar and Guinness, as well as poached carp with young leeks, nutmeg and lemon. A touch of food theatre also brings the restaurant to life with drunken quail flambéed at the table. Desserts include walnut cream with banana sorbet and toffee mousse, and Lemon slice with thyme sorbet. Every Sunday, true to British tradition, Launceston Place also offers a classic Sunday roast with all the trimmings! Open for lunch and dinner all week (except Monday lunch) Launceston Place attracts a loyal local following, as well as being a fantastic destination for visitors to this charming London neighbourhood.
