Having visited before and now recently moved into Edwinstowe we decided to go back to our favourite spot in the area after holidaying here back in 2017 Upon arrival the restaurant was cosy and had been updated a lot since our previous visit. After speaking to the very nice man from behind the bar, we now knew that the business had changed hands and it was apparent throughout. Early Saturday evening and we were surprised how busy the restaurant was, easy choices for me and my wife we both went for mussels and Chatuebriand / both full of flavour and cooked impeccably! We didn’t have room for dessert, however the complimentary wine that comes with the sharing steak was enough for us, we finished it when we had strolled home! Fantastic evening - we will be back

Launays has reopened and we were hoping the new owners would keep to the same standard of great food and service. We were not disappointed, everyone was happy and excelled in their service, most importantly the food was very good and tasty and I must mention the cocktails and the new upgraded drinks on offer . Heard lots of great ideas from the new owners, looking forward to our next visit .

These days I rarely comments on food and services but when I come across this one I need to.It was a cold Sunday afternoon and the street was quiet, both husband and I was tired and needed to have some food. We came across this restaurant and we just walk in. It's a beautiful warm and charming restaurant.The person that took our orders was smiling and happy. She allowed us to order one set lunch to share.When the food came with great presentation, clean, smooth and simply delicious!!! The mussel was so good with the taste of ocean and butter ! The Sunday Roast my husband clean the plate!! The dessert was smooth, silky and delicious!Good job Chefs!!If I come to this area again. I'll 100% dine here!!

Visited for a dine and comic night with my son and his partner for my birthday treat - food first followed by a good show. MC introduced five stand-up comedians, two then a break, then two more then a break, finally the star performance. All good laughs, friendly comics, really enjoyed the

The restaurant has seating inside and outside (when the weather is good, it's lovely). Inside the restaurant it is very modern and welcoming. The menu offers a brilliant selection of meals that are amazing. If you haven't been there, you need to go. There are various nights with different entertainment. Murder mystery, comedy, and other events. The menu does change frequently, so you won't get bored with the food available. The staff there are wonderful and always have smiles on their faces, and a warm welcome is always given. I highly recommend this gem hidden in a beautiful area near Sherwood Forest. There is a car park to the rear of the restaurant with limited disabled parking. The entrance is wheelchair accessible as is the restaurant area.Wheelchair accessibility: Disabled parking is available to the rear of the property. There are no difficulties in getting to the entrance as the ground is reasonably flat, and there are no ramps. Easy access for wheelchairs and buggies. Spacious area inside with a variety of seating available.

Lovely setting and food was delicious. However meal was served separate to the vegetables and my husband had eaten his meal before the veg arrived and my meal was going cold . Appeared too busy had too many covers to cope with so service very poor. The staff did apologise but unfortunately spoilt our experience. Every effort was made however to bring fresh meal and veg but the food was delayed my husband had to eat his meat separate to his veg . Simply it was not good enough on this occasion
Fabulous food and service in this beautiful restaurant. Steak cooked to perfection. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Great place.

Food was average, service was poor. Has to ask to order and getting anyone’s attention was a task. Won’t return

The venue pitches itself as a gastro pub but there’s some basics it needs to get right. We visited last week. Our service was consistently poor, members of our party had to repeatedly get up to ask for drinks/sides/clean cutlery/bill and then Chase up Courses that hadn’t arrived for us all and the venue wasn’t massively busy. Stock up on drinks! to run out on a busy Friday night is poor, especially with such bad quality cocktails included. Chicken not cooked through, the mains were sent back there was no apology, replacement or explanation to us. On one of the party getting up to find and check with our server if we would get a replacement or substitution they said they’d check and we heard no more from him. Dessert arrived ok but not to my taste which is subjective- but the cocktails were very very, weak and tasteless. We were told by other diners at a Pub down the road we bumped into that they noticed shots of rum were going out with the cocktails (which we didn’t get) you’d think after mentioning the weak drinks we may have received these?! The menu was - a bowl of sweet potato chips & dip to share, a curried minced beef pastie. Uncooked chicken and rice and a slice of cheesecake… with 3 watery drinks so for £45 a head we felt very short changed. The bill never came so waited in line at the bar to pay, unbelievably no discount for all of our issues we’d raised throughout the night. Generally poor food/service throughout.
