The beer menu is German-style focused while also featuring a rotating tap selection of suitable New Zealand beers, which can be bought in one-litre steins if desired. There\u2019s an extensive wine selection for the non-beer drinkers as well.<\/p>\n The restaurant offers a range of German specialties to soak up that beer. Smaller eats, such as the German pretzel can be ordered all day. For dinner, sausages and sauerkraut, or schnitzel and fries sit alongside firm customer favourite Schweinshaxe, a whole pork knuckle that has been rotisserie-roasted to crackling perfection.<\/p>\n Mu\u0308nchen can serve 250 diners at a time, which is particularly handy for the bustling crowds of summer. Accordingly, the kitchen needed to be a well-planned space, capable of serving small and large amounts of food all day long. Jamie wanted it to be spacious, as is customary in all WHG\u2019s kitchens, but small enough to conserve energy as well. Naturally, it needed to look good too.<\/p>\n Moffat was able to walk Jamie through the options that the equipment could provide to the efficiency of the kitchen. Kitchen staff work on different WHG sites and the kitchen setup at Mu\u0308nchen has garnered much positive feedback.<\/p>\n \u201cThe chefs love it in the Mu\u0308nchen kitchen \u2013 even when it\u2019s busy they have room to move freely,\u201d says Jamie. \u201cThe design layout is great too. You never want too big a space, as it\u2019s just more kilometres on the feet, and we\u2019ve achieved that balance here.\u201d<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [\/spb_row] [spb_divider type=”standard” text=”Go to top” top_margin=”0px” bottom_margin=”30px” fullwidth=”no” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”] [spb_row element_name=”Row” wrap_type=”content-width” parallax_image_height=”content-height” parallax_image_movement=”fixed” parallax_image_speed=”0.5″ bg_video_loop=”yes” parallax_video_height=”window-height” parallax_video_overlay=”none” row_overlay_opacity=”0″ row_col_pos=”default” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”] [spb_text_block animation=”none” animation_delay=”0″ simplified_controls=”yes” custom_css_percentage=”no” padding_vertical=”0″ padding_horizontal=”0″ margin_vertical=”0″ custom_css=”margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;” border_size=”0″ border_styling_global=”default” width=”1\/2″ el_position=”first”]\n Mu\u0308nchen co-owner Jamie Williams knows a kitchen can live or die on its adaptability to both busy and quiet times.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have a pretty well-rounded kitchen there,\u201d he says. \u201cOften in the market here it\u2019s boom or bust.
