guestspy

Took this place in early on a Saturday lunchtime. General first impressions very good. Very friendly and personal greeting and chat from the owner/manager. Decor unique and themed on a monastery, manages to be quirky and relaxing without being cheesy. Here’s a themed placemat

Restaurant filled up fast from just before 1pm. Interesting looking menu, with reasonably priced mains.

Settled on the venison bangers and mash. Mash met my high standards, sausages had an excellent flavour, gravy was definitely made in house and made well. Washed it down with a nice Spaten beer and pontificated to my handler (quietly, to avoid blowing my cover) that my meal was ‘Hearty yet refined’. See photo below.

Onto dessert and the miserly Guestspy budget took a hit with €7.00 for Butter Cookies. Butter Cookies? for 7 euro? My greataunt used to stretch to a whole tin of them every Christmas and still had enough left over to pay for socks for presents. Here’s what arrived.

They were well tasty, and grudging I have to admit I would order them the next time I visit. And I will be visiting again.

Coffee needed work, about half the water would have been better, but I’m really nit picking here, great meal.

Too early for me to hit the vino, and beer with the sausages just seemed ‘right’, but here’s the wine blackboard FYI
