A taste of Austria in the Midlands – The Bierfassl Restaurant and Pub

Located at Nottingham Road in the Natal Midlands, The Bierfassl Restaurant and Pub, is an Austrian themed restaurant and pub, which exudes the warmth of Austrian hospitality, and is the home of the famous Crispy Eisbein. The ambience is warm and inviting and reflects the rustic charm of an Austrian country inn.

Guests may dine on the shady veranda or lawns, or inside the cosy panelled pub. The seating is designed to accommodate both an intimate dinner as well as lively gatherings.

The pub has thirty-five different beers from around the world including their very own local draught beers from Nottingham Road Brewery, and a fine selection of award-winning wines.

There is also an extensive range of handcrafted and imported gins, cocktails, shooters, whisky, brandy, port, liqueurs and schnaps.

The Menu

The restaurant serves hearty meals, catering for all tastes, and is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The menu is extensive and includes a range of pancakes, omelettes and smoked trout. Light meals include soups, salads, fish, chicken and snack platters. There are steaks, Viking Burgers, and Austrian specialities – Pork and chicken schnitzels, kassler and sauerkraut, and their signature dish for which they are famous – crispy eisbein, which comes in four different sizes.

Decadent desserts include chocolate mousse, apfelstrudel, Black Forest gateaux and Butterkuchen.

Children will be kept happy with all their favourites on the kid’s menu – burgers, toasties, ribs, chips and milkshakes. There is a children’s playground with a jungle gym, swings, a see-saw, a slide and a sandpit.

On weekends and public holidays, there is the Kids Fairground with Top Gear Entertainment – a jumping castle, carnival games, crazy bikes, waterslide and much more. Tony is on hand to entertain and supervise the children so that parents can relax.

Pets are welcome and there is even a doggy menu.

The Deli

Attached to the restaurant is a deli offering cold meats, salamis, local Midlands handcrafted German sausages, home baked breads, cheese and Nottie’s Draught 100% pure hand brewed beer, plus a whole variety of local and imported goodies.

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation? Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose.

Expensive is not always better. Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday. They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice. A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday.

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance. Of these, service is the most important.

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion. However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review. We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience? The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table.

Well that’s our theory anyway. It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced. However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience. In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe. It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
