The duck was almost cold. The choc pud beautiful for every choc lover.

The food was amazing. The best Brat dinner I ever had. The quality of the food and the combination and balance of the aromas was at the point! Also the homemade wild garlic butter and bread were incredible. Great experience and will certainly return. Very recommended
