High tea with a group
A hen party, a birthday, a baby shower or a company outing, the high tea works for a group too. Book a long table in the restaurant or on the terrace, or take a room of your own. We have the Brouwzaal, the Alarduszaal and the Directiekamer.
Would you like to decorate the table yourself, or should the bites match a theme? Tell us when you book and we will think along. See also groups and parties and events.
Under one roof
What you taste here comes from this house
In this building beer is brewed, coffee is roasted, chocolate is made, mustard is ground and vinegar is aged. The difference lies with the people who make it and who welcome you.
