Weiterlesen This may be a better buffet than restaurant I arrived quite late in the evening and so ordered a la carte. The result was a decent portion of properly cooked but oddly bland stir fry and plenty of meh rice. Given the buffet would only have been 7euro more, I'd say you should ignore the menu and just go for that.

Weiterlesen An average German bar with a wider than usual selection of beers and narrow but cheap menu. Service is fast and there's plenty of space for groups. Food is nothing to phone home about but does the job if you want pork and potatoes.

Weiterlesen An entirely reasonable lunch. It was very busy, but people moved through at about the same rate they turned up so we didn't have any trouble finding a table. There was plenty of choice available, though a few of our requests weren't heard. Food was fine flavourful but overcooked, which wasn't surprising given they sell from hot plates. Spice is aimed at British people, though there are condiments available to increase that.

Weiterlesen An entirely reasonable pub dinner. Filling portions and reasonable flavours countered by everything being cooked into oblivion. The beer was national brands, but well served. Friendly staff, and plenty of space without feeling empty.

Weiterlesen I didn't rate this meal: a hodgepodge of vegetables and curry paste that seemed the sort of thing a student would cook in a hurry. However, an Indian colleague was quite happy with this quick, cheap lunch so I may have taken the wrong expectations with me.

Weiterlesen A normal example of this chain. They make a point of having pleasant, active staff in the American style. The prices are quite reasonable if you order off the set menu and the quality what you should expect from a popular chain restaurant big but simple flavours.

Weiterlesen An entirely alright pub meal. Average prices, typical portion size, normal selection of dishes on the menu, decent local ales. Entirely lacking in distinguishing features. The garden is lovely, though, if you want a pint by the water.

They're open late and aren't just serving sauces straight out of the jar. But it was overcooked and under-seasoned for a stir fry. Weiterlesen They're open late and aren't just serving sauces straight out of the jar. But it was overcooked and under-seasoned for a stir fry.

Weiterlesen What makes for an entirely reasonable takeaway is a slightly disappointing restaurant meal, but they actually had tables available so I can't complain. This is a step above a bog-standard Chinese takeaway as it's not just off-the-shelf sauces, but I didn't find any surprises here. Also the wine was impressively cheap, so a large group should be able to have a fun evening on a budget.
