Six of us went out for our family Christmas eve meal to Launays in Edwinstowe. As two out of the six of us were vegan, we phoned a week prior to booking to inquire about the vegan options. They were accommodating to this and agreed to offer alternatives on the set Christmas menu we wanted to book onto. The vegan starter was not what had been discussed over the phone. Which was a smoked tofu beetroot salad. What had arrived was a beetroot dish with nothing else. When we asked about the dish supposidly being smoked tofu beetroot salad, they apologised and brought the tofu out. Even with the tofu it was tasteless and disspointing.

The cheese board was massive and lots went for the sweet shop dessert which is a spectacle when it arrives. We offered an open wine list for guests to choose from which, with the food choices, meant that everyone got the food and drink of their choice and not just a wedding style option of 'chicken or beef' which made their time with us more special. The whole day was very relaxed and Alison and her team really looked after everyone for the afternoon. I would certainly recommend Launay's as a wedding venue if you want great...
