There should be a thread dedicated to the Leaky Cauldron! I love this restaurant, and how it looks just like it did in the movie. The staff provides excellent service, they bring the food out to you quickly so you don't have to carry your own trays. A staff member told me they would start selling hot butterbeer "soon", probably as a seasonal/winter drink around the time of the Harry Potter event.
I ate there for the first time this weekend. I got the specialty chicken sandwich, the tongue tying lemon squash drink, and potted chocolate cream for dessert.
The sandwich was good, had large pieces of fresh bacon on top, very chicken-y and cheesy. It appealed to me more than anything else on the menu there, I think overall the choices at 3B are more appealing to a mass audience. I heard several other guests comment that "everything had fish in it" at Leaky, and from the street you could smell cooking fish as you walked by. Fish probably doesn't appeal to as many people. I would get the sandwich again, especially because it was cheaper than all of the other entrees.
When they prepare the tongue-tying lemon squash, they freshly squeeze half a lemon into the cup. It's tasty, has a natural sour lemon flavor that is not overly sweet. Not regular lemonade. I didn't finish it, it was just too much for me to drink at the time.
The potted chocolate cream was GREAT. Not just pudding, it was more of a custard/chocolate brulee with a deep chocolate flavor, and a bit of raspberry sauce and whipped cream on top to add to the flavor. It tasted like it had heavy cream and eggs in it, not just a "jello-like" consistency. I loved how it came in the little jar.
