german sausage fest in richmond

On Sunday we accompanied a couple of house mates to Richmond. Richmond is a beautiful area on the banks of the Thames and quite a hot spot for a Sunday outing. We went to this German restaurant called Steins. The waiter told us in his best English that we might want to consider ordering the "grosse" meat and sausage platter. According to him it's enough for six people. We fell for his sales pitch and this was what we got! It was unbelievable! Virtually the whole restaurant looked at us when they carried in the meter long platter filled with mash, worsies, potato slices, meatloaf and "sauerkraut".

When we left this place there was still plenty of food on the platter and we all felt a little sick! Another great aspect of this restaurant was their litre beer mugs....Here's John loving his Sunday out.
