Kitchens in the Tavern

[wcbarney]

In some posts a few months ago the function of tavern kitchens was discussed. I have a rather nice tavern with lots of public lounges & a bar which sells beer and wine, but I cannot find a way to build a room which can function as a kitchen. Has it been done away with?

The kitchen is not a function but an actual building component of the tavern called kitchen.

the kitchen is part of the additional "Tavern: Stone Set" unlockable in the labor estate, so you need to unlock that one first to make it available for the tavern monument

Ummm ... OK, I unlocked the tavern stone set ages ago; all the "Splendor" stuff has been unlocked for a long time. I guess I didn't scroll down far enough in the edit menu; have now found the kitchen and it is starting to build. Thanx for pointing out my error.

[edit] So, the kitchen got built & I hired a cook to prepare meals. My pop reached just over 500 before any meals were actually sold there, but I now know the mechanic. Have quit that town and am about to start a new town on a different map -- hopefully learning from all my mistakes.

Lesson Learned: Make a door into your kitchen!!!

unless something changed: the kitchen comes with a special door on the back for the cook, if it's blocked he should still just clip in or use another door i think... not sure what would happen if you build it separate from the rest of the tavern and block the back door though...

I think I just put the kitchen wall with the door up next to a tavern part without a door. After a couple of months there were no meals being prepared, although I had cheese & boars in a granary right next door. Finally figured out the kitchen had no door.

How Do I unlock the tavern? I have 25 commoners and the rest are serfs, am I doing something wrong?

I have built the tavern + kitchen, but no beer is carried to the tavern, and I havent got any visitors so far. Need help, please.

[vjraymon]

Just in case: have you a public lounge, a service counter, a bartender assigned, a drink chosen and a door ?

For now, the only certain way to get visitors is to build the tavern next to the barracks (if it's too far soldiers won't find it - they are not very bright). However, according to roadmap this will change in a future update.

Commoners and Citizens will, too, as long as the tavern is the closest place for them to get their luxury needs fulfilled.

I've found it best to build the tavern for just the soldiers. The civilians can get their luxuries at a curb-side market.

since when have commoners use a tavern? they have no lux goods need and they didnt use a tavern in my 1.9 village.

100% Correct. Only Citizens need luxury goods, as well as your Knights.
