Yet another lovely experience at the German Gymnasium. Food and drink was excellent. Service was perfect. Only slight gripe was I’d asked for our table and guests to be put in a booth away from the main door to avoid a draft. This didn’t happen and the location we were sat in was a little bit on the cold side. Sometimes you cannot expect everything 100%. Still giving top scores because everything else was still brilliant.

Excellent food. Don’t fill up too much on bread as if you have the cod wing starter it’s very generous and you may regret it. We followed with a sublime steak with crispy pink fir potatoes and yummy marmite hollandaise. Powered though despite being full and loved every mouthful!
