Gaststätte Lindenkrug in Verl

We celebrated our wedding here – and unfortunately, this celebration remains a negative memory, mainly because of the owner. Weeks before the reception, agreements were gradually being reversed: the test decorations were canceled, instead of the day before, we were only allowed to decorate and set up everything 1.5 hours beforehand, like a heavy candy bar, and the cake was suddenly only allowed in individual pieces. Planning security? None of that. On the wedding day itself, the owner's bad mood was immediately noticeable. The hall was stuffy and hot. When asked later, he said it was due to the hot food, the DJ lights, and the fog machine. The only problem was: when the guests were already sweating, there was still no food, no fog, and the lights were modern LEDs – not hot halogen spotlights. So the explanation is simply nonsense. Then there was the beer: The beer was still served, which several guests complained to the owner about. His reaction: rude. Instead of solving the problem, he simply commented, "What kind of beer would you drink otherwise?" One of my friends drew the conclusion: He preferred to go to the nearest shop, buy a beer, and drink it outside, even though drinks were free inside. If a guest would rather spend money than drink the free beer, that should give any landlord pause. Instead, the announcement followed that in any "normal restaurant," they would have been thrown out for such a thing. All we can say to that is: every normal restaurant serves carbonated beer. To top it all off, we were kicked out of our own party at 2:00 a.m. Supposedly, this was agreed upon—except there was nothing written about it, and even the preliminary meeting only noted the start time. What normal wedding ends at 2:00 a.m.? If the landlord really saw it that way, he should have made it clear and unambiguous. But he didn't. The surprise and anger were correspondingly great. The wedding cake was then simply left in the hall instead of being safely stored—also completely unprofessional. And now a quiz question: What happened the next day? a) The host apologizes and says it was a misunderstanding b) He at least shows understanding Right, c: You're insulted and told to "see a doctor because you have mental health problems, as you forget so much." Hospitality played out. The food, which was picked up the next day, wasn't even offered to us to take away, even though we had paid for it. That, too, speaks volumes. To say something positive: The food was good and the venue itself was beautiful – especially thanks to our friends who had to manage the decorating under great time pressure. One server was very friendly, but unfortunately, she left at 11 p.m. The party itself was beautiful, at least until 2 a.m. The fact that it ended abruptly afterward and was overshadowed by the owner's behavior is all the more sad. Many thanks to our guests, who nevertheless gave us a wonderful evening. Conclusion: The food and venue were good – but the owner, the tone, and the organization were absolutely unacceptable. Not recommended for weddings. Response to the owner: Thank you for your feedback. We stand by the experiences we described: last-minute changes to arrangements, stifling heat, repeated complaints about the beer, an abrupt cancellation at 2 a.m. without written confirmation, and the tone of the conversation. The start time of the event was noted in writing during the meeting, but an end time was not – had this been intended, it should have been recorded as well. We find personal references and the reference to video recordings inappropriate. Please refrain from mentioning or alluding to personal information in the future. We are happy to provide clarification for any further matters outside of the public comments period.

I can only recommend it. Regardless of whether it's the service. Or the waitress. Everything was great.

For a little snack between meals!!! Super delicious 😋

Nice and friendly restaurant with good food

Ordered two burgers, fries, nuggets, and a small Coke. Paid an extra €1.50 for sauces, and they forgot them. Otherwise, delicious.
