While puppy sitting in Enschede at my buddy’s flat, I stopped by at the end of a warm day to sample one of their home brews. I chose the Triple Rock Church. It turned out to be a perfectly serviceable triple: refreshing and bright at 8.0% abv . No complaints about that.

When I first sat down at the very welcoming looking beer garden in the back, I didn’t have to wait long (3 minutes) before the service staff asked me for my order.

However, after I’d finished off the beer, it took about 7 minutes before I could get the attention of the wait staff colleague to pay. I was initially told that I could pay inside. I asked if I could remain outside and pay using one of their wireless pay points. The staff person seemingly grudgingly acknowledged my request and returned inside.

About 7 minutes later, the same staff person (almost happily) informed me that one of their machines was malfunctioning and the other had a low battery.

I acquiesced ( also grudgingly😔.)

I like the promise of ambiance in the beer garden. The prompt initial service is also worth mentioning. The menu has a fine looking selection of beers.

My only recommendation is that my expectation to pay while still seated be met obligingly.
