Valhalla (****)
Greenwood Station
Steakhouse & Bar
What does the fan-on-the-street expect to see in a place devoted to hard-rock mining? Well, if he's a sci-fi sort, he expects guys in spacesuits with laser drills. But if he's a fantasy fan, he expects ... dwarves. And as every good fan knows, All Dwarves Are Vikings. Thus was born the concept of the First Viking Mead-Hall In Space, after a deadpan comment from Rei teased Chris on the 'Viking Dwarves' one too many times. It's possibly the only place in Fenspace where you can go to be served beer and beef by burly bearded men in chainmail (even if they do stand eye-to-eye with a Dalek). The food is high quality without being haute cuisine, and runs heavily to beef products with a leavening of fish and a special vegetarian menu for Rei. Clientele ranges from miners spending their bonuses to business guests in from 'Daneside to random wandering Fen.
When asked about Valkyries, Marsden replied that he only hires Elves for that position. (Two weeks later, the first waitress appeared at the restaurant. So far, Marsden has held good to his promise.)
As the population of the station grows (by 2012 it has a permanent population of two to three thousand, with approximately twice that in transients, mostly miners and students), other restaurateurs have been invited in, including Fennish and 'Daneside franchises such as Chili's, Ninja Burger, and the Cat Cafe. There are also two highly competitive pizzerias, one New York style, and one Chicago style, that have been known to hire the occasional ninja for their own purposes...
Finally, despite being infamously known as the 'School of Hard Rocks', the campus food court at Greenwood U is not run by DAKA.
