    We all enjoyed our lunch in the beautifully decorated Grand Cafe. The portions were on the large side, which meant we had no room for what looked like fabulous puddings. Service was very efficient but unobtrusive.

    Gorgeous food, decorations were incredible and just a nice friendly place. Music was not to load so being able to chat with our guests was a real treat.

    Always a lovely experience to dine at the German Gym. A busy early Friday evening but staff always on top of everything, and such a friendly and first-class team.

    Initial disappointed to be told (after we ordered) that the signature goose was not available. After that though, all was excellent. Food ingredients were very high quality. Preparation was perfect. Portion size was ideal. Service was very helpful. Would we go again? Most definitely.

    A lovely meal with an old friend, on the balcony. Good service - very wide menu, and we went for the winter options (basically German sausage and mashed potato, with mustard). Beautiful building (listed Grade 2). My friend had to dash northwards so it is well placed for the railway.

    The schnitzel is delicious but absolutely huge. It could do with being slightly smaller and therefore also a bit cheaper! The beer menu on tap is disappointing, with just some very average pilsner. The wine list is better. The kasespatzle is amazing and excellent value.
