Enjoying a meal
Food & drinks in the area
After a day outdoors, food tastes twice as good. Ten minutes' drive from Orvelter Hof is Westerbork, with a surprisingly wide choice: from an Irish pub with eight rotating draught beers to a restaurant with its own organic kitchen garden. And in Orvelte, within cycling distance, you can enjoy coffee and apple pie under the fruit trees.
Prefer to eat in? The kitchen at Orvelter Hof is professionally equipped, and on request we provide buffets, barbecues and a generous breakfast. But a night out with the whole group is always a treat, and many of the restaurants below are set up for large parties.

Dining out with the whole group
Book in good time: many restaurants in Westerbork have special arrangements for groups, such as De Ar's buffets from twenty people, and De Warrel even adjusts its opening days for larger groups. Westerbork is about ten minutes' drive, so agree beforehand who's driving. Rather avoid the hassle of transport? Then we'll simply cater in our own kitchen.
