Ask at the food stall when ordering if the food is halal, kosher, organic or similar.

Payment and booking
All bars and food stalls accept credit cards and cash (DKK). If you have a Reffen gift card, you can also pay with that.

You have your table for two hours from the time of booking and there is a polite self-service, so you pick up your drinks and food yourself.
Conditions for guests with special needs
Our staff are always on hand to help guests with special needs. The area where the food stalls and bars are located is flat and asphalted, and there are ramps where there are steps up to a food stall or bar.
Here are disabled toilets and the key to these toilets can be collected from the bars BnW Bar and Drueta. There is also a disabled toilet inside Werkstatt, which doesn't require a key.
Please note that on particularly busy sunny days, the bar and food areas can get crowded and bottlenecks can occur.
