"My German cousins had organised a surprise meal for our uncle’s 86th birthday. He chose this venue. As a group of 16 the first of us arrived on time at 14:00 on a Saturday 28th. The rest of the extended family trickled in till about...14:55. As people arrived in the almost private corner room (that accommodated 16) we were served glasses of still water with lemon and any drinks that were ordered. Menus were on each place setting. Waitresses were polite, attentive, friendly and efficient. We finally settled around 15:00 and menus were consulted and orders taken, including drinks. All of us just went for the main courses which were quite varied. I am a very bad vegetarian (no meat bought at home but if I’m in a restaurant then I’ll eat meat if it seems a better option). The menus were only in German. I do not know if they supplied any in English so I had to ask another cousin to guide me through). Not much for me on the main veggie choice (five choices) so I chose the mixed grill/bbq teller which seemed a reasonable price of €14.80 for the 320g offered. I (as others too) was not sure if we were paying our own way so I chose economically as the pound is low! The place was quite busy overall despite the cold drizzly weather outside. The food came surprisingly quickly at 15:23, well a third of it anyway. There was quite a long gap till the second tranche came (mine included) by 15:36. By that time the early diners had given up waiting patiently and politely as their food cooled so started and had pretty much finished their food by the time ours arrived; sorry the whole place was not very busy so short staff were somewhere. The food that was served though was very good and I regretted not choosing the more German Filetpfanne which my uncle was heartily tucking into! My (possible) lactose intolerance has steered me away from that but I had sour cream on my ‘jacket potato’ anyway and I survived. I had my uncles leftover bratkartoffeln and my cousin’s JOK’s Röstbrot with parsley garlic butter. By the looks of it everyone enjoyed their meals. We did not order deserts as my aunt had baked some traditional German flans which were most welcome at 16:45, although I was completely full! The restaurant must have allowed this treat, given the nature of the celebration! The late afternoon progressed with not many drinks except coffees and teas and circulating relatives! By 18:45 a lot of the party had left and it was clear that the room needed to be cleared and tables relaid as the whole place seemed to get much busier for the evening sessions. We were fine with that. We found that another uncle and aunt had footed the bill so I was happy. The last of us left by 18:55 into the cold, drizzle but warm and sated after a lovely family event. Amongst the 16 of us was a baby (high chair supplied) and a well behaved big dog who sat happily in the corner with a steel bowl of water. Another issue was the parking was limited to 90 minutes in the adjacent car park which served the shopping complex too. This is not enough time for a good relaxed meal! Circular time badge things were ‘fed’ as a result! At least it was free. Toilets were upstairs but I’m not sure if a lift was present for disabled access."
