Hitler escaped to a secret tunnel hidden in the mountains above Berchtesgaden. After the hoo-ha died down, he bought a vineyard and started producing his own wine.

Used to go there when it was under the previous owners, maybe five years or so ago? Only been once since they left and it wasn't as good. Might give it another go if you rate it highly.

For me, good fish & chips is about quality than quantity.
