Spargelhof von Laer - Restaurant & Hofcafé in Herford

The game and goose buffet in winter is stunning.

We were there for the second time today with 4 people. Everything was great the first time, just like it was tonight. Simply great. We have already made reservations for asparagus season next year. Keep it up. Very satisfied.

It's super nice there and the staff is perfect. Boss awesome 👌

The various seasonal buffet offers are always worth a visit. The service makes every effort to understand the wishes of the guests and the ambience also invites you to linger. We will definitely come back, a clear recommendation.

Excellent food, friendly service staff, great ambience. Perfect.

We were there for the first time today for goose dinner. What can I say - just great! The staff, the cuisine, the ambience. Great. Rarely have I had such a good goose!! We'll be back!

The food was great, but a little loud when the house was completely full. But it's also a good sign, so many people can't be wrong. Highly recommended!

Very nice country inn with great gastronomy. Optionally à la card or buffet. Good bourgeois. Alternatively, small outbuildings can also be booked for private events. Very nice atmosphere. I deducted one star for service because it was not possible to pay by credit card. I didn't have enough cash with me and I didn't have a debit card either. Friends I was there with helped me out.

Great location with a very cozy atmosphere, you can sit there very well. We were there for the game buffet, whereby the game selection was limited to wild boar and duck. Rehab and deer were not there at all, but pork fillet, chicken, delicious ox cheeks and delicious roulades. Vegetables and salads were also great!

Everything is great. 100% recommended

Great service and the food was simply fantastic 🤩

Today we were with friends at the game buffet at Van Laer...the food was great, a great selection, no wishes were left unfulfilled...good service...we'd be happy to come back!

Once again I was able to accompany a wonderful wedding in this unique location with my 📷 camera and my wedding coaching. And what can I say: everything is always, really always so enchantingly beautiful here. Everything fits perfectly and an absolute heartfelt recommendation for the unique wedding celebration 🫶🏼❤️ I am looking forward to being a guest and service provider at the Laer farm again next season. Just keep doing it... * Top location * Top ambience * Top service * Top team * delicious food & drinks - served with love... In short: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟+ 👍🏼 Weddingphotographer.de says thank you 🫶🏼

I accidentally waited for company here in vain. But I was immediately offered a table and a drink. After it became clear that I was wrong, the drink was even on the house. Great staff, nice atmosphere and as far as I could see the food looked very good. Thank you!!

Delicious food at a very good price, great atmosphere but unfortunately a bit noisy

It was nice here. We celebrated a wedding there.

Impressive restaurant - fantastic food and very nice and attentive staff! We would love to come back! Thank you for this lovely evening 🧡

Top service. Top food! It doesn't get any better! Unreserved recommendation. 👍

We were able to experience our second wedding at this location. The atmosphere is wonderful, the staff are always very friendly, and the food was always excellent.

We were able to celebrate our absolute dream wedding at von Laer on September 20th, 2024. All guests were completely happy. The food, drinks & service were sensational. Alex and Kristin were able to implement all of our wishes. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts ❤️ Best regards Justin & Elena

Great event location! Old farmhouse with a great terrace, beautiful garden and a small pond. There is a playground behind the restaurant and there is also a bouncy castle. The service is attentive and the food is delicious! All in all a great event!

A little overwhelming, it was very well attended. The buffet was very, very rich and very tasty. Had a really delicious meal 😋

Our wedding at the Laer farm was simply unforgettable! The location is not only beautiful, but also ideal for a wedding. From the first viewing to the big day we were well looked after. The team made an incredible effort to implement all of our wishes. A special highlight was the food, which was also prepared on site. Our guests are still raving about the amazing BBQ menu! The food was prepared with great attention to detail. There was something for every taste and the quality was simply first class. We were particularly thrilled that we were able to customize the menu so individually. The service was simply outstanding. The staff was always friendly, attentive and professional, both during the planning and on the day itself. We didn't have to worry about anything and were able to enjoy the day to the fullest. We are so grateful that we were able to celebrate our wedding in this beautiful location. The Laer farm exceeded all of our expectations and made a significant contribution to ensuring that this day was unforgettable for us and our guests. We can absolutely recommend the location and the team! Thank you for everything!

The buffet was very tasty! The service was very nice and attentive. All in all a great day. Gladly again 👍🏻

Attended BBQ buffet. The atmosphere is great, a really great farm with free-roaming goats, a playground for children outside, a farm shop. Prices for the BBQ were €34.90 per person. - Buffet was modern & rich Cons: - no signage for the food/buffet - bad/unsuitable for allergy sufferers (our son has one severe nut allergy - could hardly read anything, especially not possible with marinades/seasonings of the food) Here we only have one attempt, then only an emergency doctor. - Meat selection average - I would have liked more spare rips requested - unfortunately not refilled, unfortunately missed - paid for it just like everyone else! Very disappointing :-( - Desserts as well, if "empty" then "empty" - there were Afterwards only 1x variety - also stupid. - no children's menu/dishes on the menu - Line at the buffet is far too long and very narrow - in the back it was a nuisance because there was warm food and dessert there, Our food was there in the meantime and we had to wait again cold - Service not so good, people rarely asked for drinks or the plates stood for a very long time (were in the fireplace room) Conclusion: We would have expected much more for the money. €34.90 is quite an announcement. There is no children's menu for small children who do not take part in the buffet. The selection and quality was very good, but we didn't have the opportunity to try the things that others had. Very limited for allergy sufferers like the ones mentioned above. Therefore only 3 stars out of 5.

We were at a wedding! Very nice yard!

Very attentive staff, friendly too. The rooms are simple but good.

Food was ok, Ambience way too loud. Service good

Yesterday we had the lunch buffet (€26.50 per person). It was really VERY tasty, even for vegetarians. The service was very nice and the atmosphere was cozy. It was really busy, but there was no crowd at the buffet and you could chat at a normal volume. We'll definitely be back. 🙂👍🏻

Buffet with a huge selection and a lot from the smoker, just queuing can take a few minutes.

A nice restaurant, would love to come back.

The best ambience and food around here ❤️😍

The service staff was super friendly and attentive. The food was great, the price/performance ratio was right. Happy to come back!

The extensive buffet based on regional foods is highly recommended. The food is super tasty, especially the smoked meat. The service staff is very friendly, but could visit guests a little more often. The restaurant is in a very stylishly restored half-timbered house with an attached spacious terrace that offers a clear view of the nearby forest.

My children invited me and I was very happy about it and would visit again at any time.

Best smoker buffet in the EU West

Delicious food, especially at the seasonally changing buffets 😋 Highly recommended

Simply outstanding. The buffet was extremely attractively presented and the food was incredibly tasty. Great atmosphere, very nice and attentive service. Perfect all around!!!

A good restaurant, with a large and tasty buffet. With a lot of choice of different dishes. Definitely worth a visit. For Buffett we have almost 35€ per person. paid, drinks excluded. A very busy restaurant, with an advance reservation you have to try in several weeks. But sometimes, if you're lucky, you might get a free table outside on the terrace even without a reservation.

I went here for a school dinner and the food was good. They have a buffet and a menu as well. They also have a candy buffet.They hunt wild animals and you can eat wild animals meat.

That's all well and good, but waiting in line for a long time at the All You Can Eat Buffet BBQ is just not possible!

The top location for a successful celebration in the country.

A converted farm. Very Big and spacious. A very good selection of food and drinks. Friendly service and good parking. Well-maintained paths.

More than extremely successful.

Weddings and other celebrations are ideal at this location!

Great restaurant with a lunch buffet. Delicious. Would love to come back.

We visited Laer's restaurant near Herford last Sunday and were completely thrilled. Location and ambience: The restaurant impresses with its beautiful location and bright, clean rooms. We particularly liked the various terraces, which offer comfortable seating and invite you to linger in the sun. Service: The service was very friendly and accommodating. The boss also looked after the guests personally and asked if everything was OK, which we found to be very attentive. Food and drinks: The buffet was extensive and offered something for every taste. It was always freshly refilled. There was also ice cream, coffee and cake, which we also enjoyed very much. Overall we were very satisfied and would like to come back.

I was invited to a wedding and the food was incredibly good. Super nice location and the service was friendly, calm and appropriate. Always my pleasure.

Good buffet, large selection. Unfortunately, it was very loud in the dining room throughout the meal. Next time we will choose a table outside. Then it's perfect.

We celebrated our wedding in the beautiful courtyard of Laer in June 2024! The food was great, super tasty & beautifully prepared! The atmosphere was unique, festive and cozy at the same time! We also always received wonderful support from Kristin during the planning and had a great and reliable contact person in her! The drinks looked great, the rehearsal dinner was also great and very helpful. After so much praise, there were two things that we found very, very unfortunate. Unfortunately, a few of our things disappeared without a trace after the celebration and the dismantling by the night team, unfortunately also things with a high memory value for us. They could no longer be found. :( Furthermore, as a bride and groom, we were unfortunately put under time pressure several times during the celebration by one of the waitresses in a very unpleasant and stroppy way, even though the process had long been discussed. But overall we are still very, very satisfied and would celebrate our wedding again at Hof von Laer at any time. Thank you for this unforgettable day! ❤️

We have a beautiful wedding We celebrated, the food was great, the atmosphere was just great and the service was flawless. I can highly recommend it!

Beautiful ambience with great service for celebrations!

To put it simply, I can only recommend it

Very nice restaurant in a rural location. Sensational outdoor area. Good German cuisine. Seasonal buffets e.g. asparagus buffet or BBQ bouffet. There is delicious Starnberger on tap. The restaurant has great service.

Today we were here for the second time in a very short space of time in vain. Closed society. It would be nice if it were announced on your website that the asparagus buffet is canceled.

Highly recommended. The asparagus buffet was great. Service is top. Everything was great.

Rich, attractive buffet. Soup, starters, main course and dessert. Fresh supplies were constantly being added. The only drawback...unfortunately a high noise level inside due to the large number of guests. But still gladly again.

Bought 3 kg of peeled asparagus, never bought such bad asparagus for 18 euros a kg, then I would rather have winkelmann or Eastern asparagus, sorry

Wir waren am Samstag dort zu einer Hochzeit. Ambiente und Essen super.Servicepersonal war auch sehr nett. Das einzige was mir persönlich nicht so gefallen hat ist das der DJ und jemand vom Servicepersonal sich vorher schon mit Jägermeister anheizen mußten. Mir ist dann auch auf der Veranstaltung aufgefallen das diese Personen auch Bier und Mixgetränke weiter konsumiert haben.... Aber alles andere war top.

I celebrated my 50th birthday here with a great seasonal lunch buffet. Everything was delicious, well prepared, and the service was also very good. Price/performance ratio is completely fine, I would come back immediately, highly recommended, nice staff, attentive, clean and a great ambience.

The asparagus buffet was great. There was plenty of choice. The ambience is also very nice. The service staff were apparently a bit overwhelmed by the rush.

Simply fantastic! From the food and service, everything was perfect Now a year later... Guys, that's all it takes! Stay as you are, great

We ate from the asparagus buffet and were very satisfied. Lots of choice, very tasty and very courteous and nice service, thank you. Otherwise the farm is very beautiful and well-kept with a cute farm shop.

We were invited to a wedding there and were in the smaller event barn with a terrace and it was very nice. The location and the view from the terrace were very nice. Service was very good. Drinks and food were also very good. It was a successful day/evening.

Unfortunately, not a single appointment has been confirmed for a reservation for 6 months. Already sad. The next appointment was on July 28th. offered for the barbecue event. Apparently they no longer cook a la cart here but rely on mass production

Absolutely worth a visit 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 as a little tip... there is a very special buffet during the asparagus season

We have now bought 3x asparagus from the stall in Marktkauf Lemgo. This is the best asparagus we have ever eaten. Big thick sticks, very tender, not fibrous, great taste. Excellent.

Very tasty asparagus buffet. There was something for everyone. The only thing that bothered me was the noise due to a lot of people in a large room. This meant that conversation was hardly possible.

We were here for the asparagus buffet. Never had so much choice at the asparagus buffet, where so many variations with asparagus were offered. Price-performance ratio fits. Top service, staff consistently friendly and helpful. Ambiance is very nice. Location and facilities are very appealing. We'd love to come back again.

A first-class location. Excellent service, great ambience and really good food. We celebrated our children's wedding there, thank you to all the employees for this exemplary service, you were simply great.

Super nice staff, great asparagus buffet, unfortunately it is a bit noisy in the guest room when there are large groups there and they are talking

Thanks ! ❤ We were able to celebrate our wedding on May 9th, 2024 in the Laer event barn. We and our guests were thrilled by the beautiful event. From the planning by Kristin to the excellent food to the super nice and attentive staff, everything was perfect. Thank you for the wonderful evening, please keep it up. Best regards Elena & Uwe Tappe

A charming atmosphere with courteous staff and delicious food. Definitely recommended.

Today we were invited to the traditional asparagus dinner for Father's Day. And although there were a lot of good "eaters" there, it was a friendly, relaxed atmosphere and, more importantly, the food was tasty. My compliments to the whole team! That was a brilliant performance!!!

We were there for the asparagus buffet with our children. The two now have a new favorite restaurant. The food was simply great and even the children, who are not asparagus lovers, got their money's worth and not just when it came to eating. The outdoor area offers a lot to discover. A big thank you also goes to the great team who rounded everything off perfectly. Thank you for the great experience. We are already looking forward to the next time!

We celebrated our wedding there last week and were more than thrilled! The ambience, the food, the service, everything was just perfect! We would like to give a special thank you to Ms Skilewski, who supported us with advice and support throughout the entire planning period. Not only suitable for getting married, but also for eating.

We went to the asparagus buffet with 6 people. This is simply sensational. The variety and especially the quality can no longer be increased. There is boiled and baked white asparagus and in the appetizer section asparagus in all variations. Service and ambience are very good. However, due to the large number of guests, it is quite loud. It's a shame you can't pay with Google Pay. That should actually be standard in 2024.

A delicious buffet with various asparagus dishes. But even non-asparagus fans will get their money's worth. Unfortunately the restaurant is fully booked for the entire season. But we found a place outside.

Once again a great buffet in a great environment. The asparagus was terrific. Lovely again

The asparagus buffet was again great...so delicious.

We went to Van Laer's asparagus buffet. Simply sensational. A large selection of dishes, including vegetarian. Asparagus is also prepared in different ways. The price is perfectly fine. Reserve well in advance if you want to go with large groups. We will definitely come back.

Today a very good asparagus buffet at the Spargelhof. It was great!

Food and ambience great. Service and organization underground. It was agreed in advance that there would be water on the table for a party and two types of wine would be served. Water only upon order. The waiter also didn't know the wines that were ordered and they didn't pour them either. We simply ordered the drinks individually while eating. The table decorations we brought with us were not placed on our table but were distributed around the restaurant. It's not all that bad, but not really good either.

The approach is a bit problematic because some arrogant visitors park on both sides of the street and then block the passage, so the truck cannot approach the restaurant, which leads to problems when goods need to be delivered. The employees are very ready to help in such situations, which is commendable. A very nice and popular restaurant for gatherings and weddings. There are plenty of parking spaces in front of the restaurant.

Everything's great, there's nothing to complain about

The food here is really great, I had the burger with asparagus, bacon, beef etc. and it came out hot and tasty, just as it should be. However, the echo is extremely loud, which is why you can hardly understand your own words.

Asparagus buffet was “first class” Location completely booked...and in the middle of the week 🤗

Dear Laer team, We would like to thank you for your TOP performance at our wedding in March 2024. Everything was as discussed and still better than we could have expected: very nice and attentive staff until the end, the breathtaking atmosphere of the location + the farm shop for the free wedding ceremony and absolutely fantastic food!! 👏🤝 Dear Kristin, Thank you for your tireless commitment, the easy arrangements, your always good mood and your constant presence since the first preliminary conversation: whether by email or telephone, on the morning of the day while decorating, at the beginning of the wedding, during the champagne reception or the morning after : you were ALWAYS there and a rock in the surf 🤜🤛 Best regards, Patrick and Britta

Personally, this was my third time there and I have to say I was very satisfied with everything. The staff are very nice and helpful... the food is just great

Brought the first asparagus from the farm shop today... peeled great (finally again ;). )1 a quality - top price See you tomorrow 😂 ok next week Thank you

simply forbidden Delicious here 😋

I celebrated my 60th birthday in the event barn. The advice on planning and also the implementation - everything was perfect. Good mood, very attentive team! The food was very tasty, imaginative and prepared with attention to detail.

Wonderful location for a special celebration. Highly recommended

Dear Hof von Laer team, we had the pleasure of being your guests on Saturday to celebrate a 40th birthday and would like to thank you very much for the excellent and delicious food. The preparation directly at the buffet was excellent. The service was perfect, very friendly and always there with a trained eye. The ambience of the rooms is very appealing down to the last detail. It was a wonderful evening. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

We made the best decision and celebrated our wedding in the von Laer event barn. Kristin accompanied us from start to finish and always answered all of our questions and left nothing to be desired. We really can't say a single negative word, everything was perfect. Be it the wedding ceremony in the farm shop, the food, the service, the ambience, the nice people - everything exceeded our expectations. Our guests also raved highly. Thank you so much for making this day so perfect for us!

Delicious food, lots of space, good for celebrations but also for just eating out. The buffets are great and don't lag behind the quality of the dishes on the menu like in some other restaurants. There are also enough parking spaces available, I know otherwise. And the prices are also completely reasonable, especially for the buffets.

We are so happy that we decided to celebrate our wedding at Hof von Laer! The location itself is beautiful, very idyllic and you can implement any theme you want. The team there is extremely helpful, everything was done perfectly and with a lot of love - thank you to everyone! Our special thanks go to Kristin who was a great advisor, to Adrian for the great service and to Alex von Laer who made our day very special. We received many compliments on the food from our guests - it was absolutely delicious! The gourmet buffet, which we were able to put together individually, is highly recommended. The entire collaboration was very smooth, professional and everyone involved took care of our special requests with a lot of understanding and attention to detail. The result was a dream! Thank you for helping make our wedding a Winter Wonderland dream!

Yesterday evening I documented the use of pesticides in the strawberry fields :´-( and had to watch with tears in my eyes as a rabbit, 2 Egyptian geese and thousands of insects were poisoned. Update: I was very happy about the new flower strip and wanted to remove this comment. Now the flower strip has been mown and all insects and spiders have been killed. Clutches and eggs destroyed. Are the animals first attracted and then killed? That's the problem with our agriculture. Very unfortunate.

We were invited by the children to the Advent buffet, had a very good meal and felt very well looked after and looked after in the cozy atmosphere.

So the positive first: the buffalo mozzarella salad was really tasty, although €14.50 for a starter salad isn't a great deal. If, after a very mild estimated 35 minutes, you ask where the simple, cold starter salad is, the answer is, "I've already complained, it's ready except for the cheese...", then it takes another good 20 minutes for the cheese has made it to the table, then I'm already in the red zone internally, also because I can hardly think of anything else to keep our baby entertained. I'm just glad we didn't order a warm main course. A little tip from someone who also knows something about gastronomy, a small apology on the house is not something you offer when the disappointed customer has already paid the full price plus a tip, has already stowed away their baby and is on the way out, completely Bad timing, pure question of alibi and almost made me angrier inside. Unfortunately, this was a poor performance by the kitchen and not solved well. Very unfortunate.....
