    Wer nach eineim stressigen Arbeitstag oder einer anstrengender Arbeitswoche etwas Entspannung sucht, dabei eine leckere Speise und ein kühles Getränk zu sich nehmen möchte, der ist auf dem Gelände des Gutshofes Rethmar hundertprozentig richtig. Der Gutshof ist mit dem Auto, Motorrad oder Fahrrad gut erreichbar. Ausreichend Parkplätze für alle Fortbewegungsmittel sind in großer Anzahl vorhanden. Gerade bei dem aktuell warmen Wetter freue ich mich immer über ein kühles Getränk. Dabei ist es egal, ob es ein alkoholisches oder nicht alkoholisches Getränk ist. Ein kleiner Tipp: unbedingt den hauseigenen Apfelsaft einmal probieren. Der löscht ausgezeichnet den Durst. Egal, ob ich großen oder kleinen Hunger habe. Die lecker schmeckende niedersächsische Hochzeitssuppe nehme ich immer zu mir. Als kleine Stärkung gibt es verschiedene Salate oder eine Hannoversche Bulette. Bei den Hauptspeisen stechen die Burger, Schnitzel und die sehr leckere Currywurst aus dem großen Angebot hervor. Ein Abstecher nach Rethmar lohnt sich - egal mit welchem Fortbewegungsmittel.
