The Vroesenpaviljoen isn’t just beloved by locals; it’s a recognized gem, having earned the prestigious Golden Ladle (Gouden Pollepel) award in 2017. This accolade isn’t just about the food; it’s about the ethos and the atmosphere that encapsulates this spot.

Come summer, the pavilion bursts into life with a diverse array of events suitable for all ages. From wine tastings that tantalize the taste buds to children’s activities that spark joy, the rhythm of live music performances, and the enchantment of theatre shows—it all happens here. Occasionally, the park transforms as festivals make their mark, right in our “backyard”.

And for us personally, it’s the simple pleasure of strolling through Vroesenpark with our dog, Andes, culminating in a leisurely break at the pavilion where we savour craft beer and indulge in delectable snacks. It’s this blend of communal spirit and personal gratification that makes the Vroesenpaviljoen a genuine favourite.
