Description: A visit to Scharff's Gourmet restaurant in Wartenberg-Rohrbach near Kaiserslautern is like taking a short holiday. This restaurant in the beautiful area of Rheinland-Pfalz has many accolades and serves star quality food, full of new ideas, in an historic Kreuzgew��lbe (cross vault). The large garden at Scharff's gourmet restaurant is a real highlight, where you will find a vast number of herbs growing, which are used in the sample tasters menu. Here diners can encounter a choice of French tarragon with scallop Balontine, or rosemary arp (one of the strongest flavours) with tartlets made from Jivara chocolate. The sensory terrace and the herb garden is inviting not only for culinary enjoyment, but also for a stroll in good weather. In Scharff's child-friendly gourmet restaurant, located near to Kaiserslautern you can enjoy spectacular events throughout the whole year. Amateur chefs can take advantage of Martin Scharff's 'do it yourself star menu' cookery courses and whether you want to be catered for, or take to the kitchen yourself, a visit to the Wartenberg mill is always worthwhile.

Went here based on the reviews fromTrip Advisor, not terribly generous with the mediocre food with a lousy atmosphere. The gardens are nice though with a great looking camp site.

Thank you for your comments. I am sorry that you did not enjoy your evening with us. It was a wet and blustery evening and this may have dampened the atmosphere in the conservatory. Customers choose to dine in the conservatory because of the spectacular views it offers of rolling Shropshire hills. We are a small family run business and... More

Ordered three burgers and a steak. The steak was thin, overcooked and poor value at £17. The burgers tasted odd, slightly indistinguishable. Visited on a wet Friday in May, not too busy do perhaps we got third best?

Thank you for your comments. I am sorry that you did not enjoy your meal with us. The Sirloin steak was thinner than we usually serve and this may have resulted in your steak being slightly overcooked after it had rested. We would have happily cooked another steak for you had you brought this to our attention on the evening.... More

My partner and I ate here last Friday and enjoyed a delicious meal in lovely surroundings. The pub itself is full of character. It even has a huge apple press in the middle of the dining room, a remnant from its farmhouse origins. It has a lovely dining conservatory which has fantastic countryside views. The staff were all attentive and... More

Just returned from a 2 night stay at The Baron and can't wait to go back! The baron is in a fantastic location with plenty of walks starting from here ( walks available from the baron's website which we found very useful) We stayed in room 5 which was fantastic and very cosy! Lovely bed and we liked having the... More

We have just returned from a very enjoyable two night break at the Baron. The accommodation, food and local "real ales" are very good indeed, plus "mine hosts" Debra and Phil are friendly real people. Bucknell is an idyllic, peaceful English village, and when walking it the residents make time to stop and have a chat. We hope to visit... More

This pub is in a great location but off the beaten track. We were a group of four and three of us really enjoyed our meal. However my husband did not enjoy his pork meal so much, I think he probably made the wrong choice! The standard generally seemed to be very high, lovely well watered plants, nice lawn, very... More

We went for a midweek meal whilst staying in the area - the menu is fine, the food is cooked to order and tasted great, the service was good, the atmosphere was pleasant - we would go again when we are back in the area - what more can you say ?

We had a lovely meal here this weekend and I would highly recomend it! This is not a gormet pub, which is lovely. If you want to mix and match the items on the menu, you could as it is cooked fresh to eat! There was a lady from another party who was unhappy with her meal, but ot was... More
