Too stupid for words. I hope there wil be no next time and please tell all your friends. Since 3 months we do not have Schnitzel on the menu because the quality the Kiwi Butcher have supplied was bad. I really do not know why on earth you have to post a review like this today. Today was Mother’s Day and we had over 250 guests and we had to disappoint at least 85 people who did not book in time. So if it is bad, they will all not come back next year. We will see.

In regards the kids menu prices, where will you find a place that offers free pedal karts (investment over $ 30.000) and a 75 meter flying fox ( investment over $ 10.000). I know the answer.

Hope to not see you again. And if you come and like to discuss the issue, please tell in in my face. I will respond immediately.

When reading a review like this one it is difficult not to react. First of all Tim B. is not Tim but George Busby, the owner of Wassail Brauhaus B&B in Egmont Village. Yes George and his wife and friends (Bryan H. 20/7/2011) have been here four or five times and every time we will remember. They have proven to be patrons who like to stirr up the business a bit. The first time we had a discussion about the range of spirits, the second time about the wine list, the fourth time about the French onion soup being to hot ( have you ever heard of a Franch onion soup with grated cheese out of the oven not being hot??). In regards the wine list I have clearly explained that we do not have a list but a range of affordable wines all priced at $ 33 a bottle. Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Chardonnay, Merlot, Gewurztraminer, Cabernet Sauvignon and of course a Sauvignon Blanc. And yes you can bring your own bottle of wine but we will charge you a corkage of $ 15 per bottle since we are fully licensed and are paying an arm and a legg for that license.
So what is the purpose to ask our chef during your 5th visit about the wine list again. What purpose does it suit to then ask the waiter “do you know more about the menu then your chef about the wine list?”. It is quite obvious that you just wish to have a “funny” evening by upsetting other people. And yes, my chef made a mistake after all this, because she was upset. And yes the waiter was upset too by your behaviour and openly expressed his feeling by telling you that he “would not mind if you would not come back again”. And yes you then left the restaurant in a rage. We had another group of 13 people who were still there and they were shocked by your exclamation of the F.. word. And I was shocked the next day to find out that you had tossed my sign at the entrance in a nearby paddock. I have run a family restaurant in Old Zealand for over 9 years and a family restaurant in New Zealand for almost one year and despite everything I have experienced so far, I will always recall your visits. They were truly “special”.
