Brasserie Schovenhorst in Wijk 01 Bosgebied en Krachtighuizen

We had a fantastic family Christmas party at the Werkstee, part of the Brasserie! Delicious food, great service, and a wonderful atmosphere!

We had Christmas brunch here this afternoon. The food was incredibly delicious and we were offered a wide variety. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Even though our son was struggling, they even wrapped our dessert for us. Highly recommended!

Top location, in the middle of the forest. With excellent cuisine and exceptionally friendly service.

I've been here several times this week and I'm very satisfied. I found the specialty coffee a bit pricey for what you get, but the rest of the products are definitely worth the money. Highly recommended: try the Mediterranean roll with caramelized goat cheese. I don't really like goat cheese (or so I thought), but it sounded so delicious on the menu that I thought, just try it! Well, I've rarely had something this delicious; it goes perfectly with the beets, and the crunchy caramel topping makes it perfect. What a flavor explosion! So good that I went back later this week. The team is also very friendly and polite. If I'm ever in the area again, I know where I'll be eating. Beautiful surroundings, too! Thanks!

We celebrated Grandma's 80th birthday with a high tea at Brasseie Schovenhorst with 12 people. The brasserie itself has beautiful windows overlooking the garden, but they've erected a large, dark, black tent in front of them to accommodate more people. This turns the brasserie into a dark hole with little natural light, and from the outside, the venue looks like a military encampment or a scout camp. Such a shame! This greatly increases the capacity, but it also makes it a massive, commercial affair. Inside the brasserie, we were seated at a long table in the middle of the room. The acoustics are very noisy and restless, making it difficult to hear the person across the table. This wasn't very convenient for our family and Grandma. Two days earlier, I had sent an email asking if we could be placed off to the side or in a separate room. We were told they couldn't promise anything but would do their best. That morning, I called the brasserie again. I spoke to staff on the phone who told me, clearly and curtly, that the brasserie was fully booked, everything was set up, and nothing could be changed. One of our family members had already attended this high tea a month earlier. The quality was noticeably lower this time. The tomato soup was served in small, Duralex HEMA water glasses. Not festive. The sandwiches were fine, but basic and quite large. The month before, they had been more like small, savory snacks. We had to ask for a pot of water for tea several times. The staff was very busy. The entire location is far too full, too crowded, too massive, and too commercial. The fact that there are only two toilets for women also indicates that this building wasn't originally designed for so many people. The woods surrounding the brasserie were also overflowing on Sunday afternoon. Parking was no longer available in the parking lot.

Nice place, delicious coffee, I like to come there after a walk

A beautiful location perfect for a wedding, with a ceremony in the woods, birdsong, specialty beers from Putten, and delicious food. We had a truly fantastic day and can highly recommend Schovenhorst!

Nice place to enjoy good food and friendly staff after a lovely walk in the forest.

Super-friendly service, beautiful location, and simply good food. The only downside is the barking of the many dogs on the patio.

We recently celebrated our wedding here. Everything was perfectly arranged, as agreed. The quality of the food was excellent. We were fortunate to have a sunny day. What ultimately exceeded our expectations was the staff's enthusiasm and service. We had a wonderful time, and so did our guests.

What a wonderful place for lunch! Lovely terrace overlooking a beautiful garden. Very friendly, cheerful staff, and excellent service. I had the toasted sandwich with Parma ham, brie, and fig chutney. Delicious! The menu offers a variety of interesting and delicious dishes. Highly recommended.

In May 2025, we got married at this beautiful forest location. It felt right from the start: the location, the atmosphere, the communication. There are plenty of options for how to design your wedding, allowing us to tailor it entirely to your wishes. Our contact person (Marloes) was easily accessible and always helpful in finding options and additions when we had questions. Just before the wedding, we changed contact persons, but this was also clearly communicated and went very smoothly. Everything was thoroughly discussed and carried out as agreed, but they were also flexible when needed. During the wedding, the staff wasn't overly obtrusive, but they were there to help and take care of everything for us. The food was also excellent, and we received many compliments about it. We are very happy with our choice to get married at Brasserie Schovenhorst and would definitely recommend this wedding venue for both the location and the communication during the preparations!

Had lunch yesterday. You have to allow plenty of time for lunch. Had lunch yesterday. Drinks arrived very quickly. Then we had to wait a long time for our order to be taken. Even after asking, it took a long time. The waitress was busy chatting with two men. Then, after ordering, we had to wait another long time. We then asked if they had forgotten us. The lunch was delicious, but the service yesterday was really poor.

A lovely spot for lunch in the middle of the woods with a beautiful garden. The staff is friendly and the menu is varied. The interior isn't too large, but it's cozy. There's a spacious terrace. We started with truffle fries and nachos. A good choice, very tasty! We then opted for a 12-o'clock snack (fine, but instead of regular sandwiches, something like farmhouse bread would be a bit tastier), a goat cheese toastie (a bit dry), a Parma ham/brie toastie (delicious), and a children's menu with fries and a frikandel (fine). Definitely a nice place to go.

Cozy terrace in a courtyard. Excellent lunch, cafe-style. Overworked staff. They tried their best, but were too tired.

Delicious food, incredibly friendly service. If you're in the area, definitely go here for lunch. We had tapas...just too good...excellent.

We celebrated our wedding at this beautiful location in the middle of the woods! The atmosphere was fantastic, the venue was beautifully decorated, and the service and assistance were excellent. It was the perfect day for us, and we highly recommend it!

On June 28, 2025, we had our wedding at Schovenhorst Estate. A beautiful location to celebrate your wedding. The ceremony and dinner were held at the Werkstee (workshop). The party was in the Brasserie. The food was delicious, and we had a large BBQ. Everything was perfectly organized. We discussed everything with Doortje beforehand so that everything was perfectly arranged on the day itself. A fantastic location in the woods.

Beautiful place in the middle of the forest, friendly service, delicious food for a good price!

We got married on May 20, 2025, at the most beautiful location in the middle of the woods. After visiting several venues, I knew deep down that this was where I wanted to get married. The surroundings and the venue itself are stunning. Everything on the day was perfectly taken care of, including the preparations. We are grateful to you for our beautiful day.

Fantastic place for lunch after a walk in the woods around Putten. The staff is very friendly, and the lunch portions are generous! I had a carpaccio on Mediterranean bread (with lots of delicious olives, pine nuts, sun-dried tomatoes, salad, and much more!). It was a surprise what I would find on my bread. My friend had a generously filled omelet with wild mushrooms, onions, bacon, etc. We had a delicious meal on a beautiful terrace. Afterwards, we admired the large trees just behind the brasserie. Highly recommended!

We were there for a wedding. Super beautiful and atmospheric location. Well organized and friendly staff.

Tasty food and beautiful location. Friendly service

Lovely spot in the middle of the forest! Very friendly and competent staff with that little bit extra! Food was quick and deliciously eaten

Een heerlijke lunch werd gepresenteerd. Omdat we met meer jonge kinderen zijn, is het hier niet voor geschikt. Geen speelwerktuigen. Dat viel ons erg tegen

Easily accessible restaurant and large terrace on Landgoed Schovenhorst, with large parasols and enough space between the tables. This is a great place to stay on a sunny day and therefore a popular stop for cyclists and hikers. Enjoyed the good coffee and had a delicious lunch. Everything was served quickly and a very friendly service.

Experience with delivery of rented items at Brasserie Schovenhorst We recently rented items to a customer who celebrated their wedding at Brasserie Schovenhorst. The location itself is beautiful. On Friday, June 6, we delivered the rented materials. The employees who received us were friendly and helpful. We spoke to a male employee, probably the manager. He indicated that there was also a party planned for Saturday and asked us to pick up the items before 10:30. Saturday morning we arrived at 10:07, after a drive of over an hour. Upon arrival, we asked a young waitress where our items from the previous day were. She immediately referred to two crates. When we asked why the items had not been neatly placed together, the manager (male) came over. His explanation was that some items, including six white chair covers, would otherwise get wet. The manager then started rummaging through our crates without consulting us and claimed that one of the covers belonged to them. I indicated that this cover was new and belonged to us. The incident felt unpleasant as if we as “outsiders” would take something that was not ours. When I expressed my indignation, he indicated that he did not understand why I was angry. In our eyes it would have been polite to keep all the stuff together, especially since there were multiple suppliers. We then asked where the rest of our stuff was. The waitress pointed to a room next door. It turned out that our other materials had been placed outside, despite the heavy rain on June 7. Some items (including MDF) should not get wet. Much of it was soaked and damaged. Any reasonable person knows that you should not place wood (MDF) outside in a humid environment, but even then everyone knows that you should not place items when it was raining or had rained, especially if they are rented or borrowed items. They are not your property. When we asked who was responsible for this, the manager indicated that this was the responsibility of the master of ceremonies. According to him, the items had to be picked up at 9:00. They need space. However, the information we received from the staff on Friday was that picking up before 10:30 was sufficient. We then contacted the master of ceremonies, who in turn put the responsibility back on the location. Whoever is ultimately responsible: this is not how you treat someone else's belongings. Advice to future bridal couples: be alert at this location and make sure you work with a master of ceremonies who communicates well and takes responsibility. And to the management of Brasserie Schovenhorst: a little self-reflection would not hurt. Take more responsibility for items from external suppliers, just as you would want others to treat your property. Hopefully both parties can learn from this.

Beautiful location. But price quality is not right. For example the goat cheese salad, (18.50) lettuce almost impossible to find, 3 nuts. And then just bread instead of fresh. Small coffee cups. 12 o'clock (16.50) too expensive for what you get. Tuna salad mediocre in quality. Too bad. Previously used to better quality.

Perfect natural wedding location with a lot of experience. Even with bad weather a beautiful and intimate location. Good food, friendly staff and a magical atmosphere.

One of our favorite places for coffee and something tasty with lunch. Beautiful place on a beautiful estate. Nice people who work here

Lekkere plek in het bos. Mooi terras buiten. Ook binnen kan je gezellig zitten. Lekkere hert biertjes van de tap. Parkeren kan iets verderop in het bos, dan is het 500 m lopen naar de brasserie.

The apple pie was delicious!! Nice and cozy brasserie. Friendly staff

What a treat to come here after a lovely hike in de surrounding forest. They have a great choice for vegetarians and the staff is absolutely amazing! In the midst of the busy Christmas season they were able to seat us in the midst of the cosy chaos and were super quick and friendly.

We celebrated our wedding at the Koetshuis and the Werkstee at Brasserie Schovenhorst. The food (winter BBQ) at the Koetshuis was delicious, beautiful stylish space where you could get everything you wanted through a buffet. The party with DJ in the Werkstee was the icing on the cake. The service was very good and attentive. Everyone enjoyed it and that's what it's all about in the end. Highly recommended to arrange your wedding or party at Brasserie Schovenhorst. Greetings from Marry and Jan

Delicious lunch and enjoyed the warm Christmas atmosphere.

After the walk in the beautiful nature, enjoy a cup of coffee and cake in great surroundings.

Heerlijk gegeten in deze gezellige sfeervolle brasserie. Een tosti Schovenhorst met een lekker speciaal Hert biertje. Ondanks de drukte supervriendelijke bediening.

I wouldn't recommend eating here. Although the food was tasty, the service is non-existent. Tables are wet and dirty even after we asked to clean them. We waited 20 minutes to order and less than 30 minutes to get food. The waiter who works here is rude.

We often come here for lunch. Wonderful place for coffee, pastries, lunch or drinks. If is just as tasty. Super nice staff. And the environment is fantastic.

When we arrived it took a while before we could order a drink. Then apparently they took other people's food orders and not us. So after a while we asked the employee if we could order something. That turned out not to be possible because a group had arrived after us and they were given priority. A conversation with the employee about the fact that we arrived earlier and wanted to order a small, easy meal did not help. What an arrogant man. We have considered organizing a party at this location, but we have decided against that now.

Beautiful location. Service does what they can, but it can sometimes take a long time before you are helped. In addition, you do not receive a receipt when paying, an amount is simply stated and you are done. I find it strange! Furthermore, the food was very tasty.

Don't try to have lunch here on a nice Sunday. We waited 30 minutes to order, but then it would take another half hour before we would get it. Later I saw how it happened, the kitchen, with 2 people, was even smaller than our kitchen in our terraced house. If you can't handle those numbers, don't open everything!

The cappuccino with carrot cake tasted great after we had taken a nice walk in the beautiful forest. Nice place, friendly service.

We got married at this beautiful location last month! What an unforgettable day it was, everything was perfect with big thanks to the top staff of Brasserie Schovenhorst! I had great contact with Marloes during the preparation, she thought along and did everything she could to make it perfect. Getting married in the middle of the forest is a fairytale and of course the beautiful photos on the estate and the forest tower. We also received many words of praise from our guests. It gave a lot of peace that the entire day could take place in one location with the different atmospheres, the Werkstee during the day and the party in the Brasserie in the evening. Once again many thanks to all the staff who did their best for our most beautiful day! Highly recommended to celebrate your wedding!

Delicious and pleasant meal. Wide choice, friendly staff!

Had a good wedding. Good for drinks and food👌👌

Visited this brasserie for the 3rd time. Was very busy this time, and the food took quite a long time. But the taste and service were great again. Small piece of advice, keep a closer eye on the toilets, it looked very sloppy this time.

We celebrated our wedding at the Schovenhorst Estate and it was fantastic! Both we and our guests enjoyed it. The location, the delicious food and the excellent service received only praise. We look back on an unforgettable summer day full of love in the forest. Wedding planner Marloes was very flexible and helped us make our day perfect. After an error prior to the wedding, everything was resolved neatly. Two small points for improvement: we missed the 'promised' extra flowers and eucalyptus, and at one of the two dinner tables the guests sat at different angles due to a somewhat strange arrangement of the chairs, which made pleasant dining a bit difficult. The price-quality ratio is very good; an affordable location for a fairytale wedding. In short, we are very satisfied, thanks for everything!

We had a beautiful wedding here. Location manager Marloes & the staff provided us with service-oriented and professional support and helped us. The website for the program and costs also worked very well. Recommended!

Last May we celebrated our wedding here at the Werkstee farm. It is an absolutely beautiful location in the forest! We discussed our wishes with Marloes and there are many options here. Everything here was completely possible according to our wishes. Also super convenient and nice that everything can be done at the same location, so we had the ceremony in the forest opposite the workshop. The area also offers a beautiful location to take photos. Two small downsides on the day itself were that it sometimes took a little while before I got my drink, which is a bit annoying if you as a bride would like to move on to speak to other guests. I also requested a small adjustment in the menu that was not available at the time, but this was resolved immediately. The food was also of good quality. It's nice that the farm with the stretch tent functions as both an indoor and outdoor location, so that even when it rains you have many options to stay dry without feeling trapped. Prices are also reasonable. Truly a beautiful and magical location to celebrate your wedding!

Delicious food in a wonderful location 🤩

You have to wait a very long time for the food, an hour, ordered fish and chips, fries were soft, the fish was small and undercooked. For 21.50 I expected better. Spend the rest of the afternoon farming the fish The chicken satay was tasty. Conclusion never again

Nice place. Parking is very unclear. The food is not very special but the service is good. You can have a nice stop there. I think the climbing tower and such is very nice for walking. Nice forest to go with the dog.

We celebrated our wedding in August this year at Schovenhorst in the Werkstee. We are extremely satisfied from the first contact to the day itself. The friendliness, willingness, thinking along and ultimately ensuring a fantastic day. We are grateful to the people of Schovenhorst! Definitely recommended. Clara and Wouter

Just had a drink but very nice area and good service.

Once more to Brasserie De Schovenhorst for a cappuccino and a portion of 'arretjescake'. But this time the weather was not clement, so we had to find a table inside for the first time. I can say, that I prefer the outdoor seating area, but that wasn't to be this time. Furthermore, there wasn't really anything wrong with the food and coffee and the service, except for the eye-watering bill. But that is standard in the Netherlands. A parking area is situated some 200 meters down the unpaved road into the woods. But this parking area tends to fill up quickly.

We got married last week on the Schovenhorst estate in the Werkstee. Our compliments to the organization and the employees. Everything was well organized and the food was delicious. From the preliminary meeting to the day itself, we received excellent guidance from Marloes. Thanks again for this unforgettable day!

Coffee with delicious apple pie

Tasty drinks board at a very reasonable price. The service is fantastic! Too bad they close so early. The terrace was full and I think more people would like to stay here longer to have a more extensive meal.

Nice food and very friendly service. Would come again.

We had our wedding day on July 10 at the Schovenhorst estate. First of all, what a beautiful location to get married! Everything was well organised. We look back on a beautiful and wonderful day!

Fast, good service with a great location. Discreet menu with simple, beautiful dishes. This is a good place to stay and linger. The park with flora and fauna from all over the world is also worth a visit.

We were able to celebrate our wedding in this beautiful place. The environment, the atmosphere, the service made this day unforgettable. We had a delicious meal and drinks. Everything was taken care of down to the last detail. The party in the Brasserie was a party. Marloes likes to think along with you and communication is easy We can absolutely recommend this wedding location!

Beautiful place, good food and friendly service. Only the waiting times between ordering and delivery are too long.

We celebrated our wedding at Brasserie Schovenhorst. What a beautiful location with the surrounding forests. I had great contact with Marloes, who thinks along with you about how to organize the day. From ceremony to lunch and drinks to a fantastic party. Everything taken care of down to the last detail. Highly recommended!

Had a little snack here. Staff was nice and the food was also really good!

Very cozy restaurant Not too big a map He gets so much

Met goede vrienden op aanraden van derden deze lokatie bezocht. Allereerst, wat een prachtige tuinen rondom de brasserie ! Een gezellige sfeer, een warm welkom De lunch was voortreffelijk keuze uit een ruime kaart. Gerechten zijn smaakvol en creatief opgemaakt. Bediening ( veel jonge lui) is vriendelijk en adviseerde ons over de te beklimmen bostoren. Voor ons uit het drukke Amsterdam een verademing ! Ook nog een roedel herten gezien. Brasserie Schovenhorst we komen graag bij jullie terug !

The Brasserie staff are attentive, kind and helpful. The food is tasty and well presented. This quiet place has nature and comfort in healthy servings and service.

Our wedding was held at Brasserie Schovenhorst. Everything was perfectly arranged! Very nice people, clear and friendly. Food was great. Everything is possible. And a beautiful location.

What a wonderful place to celebrate your 70th birthday with your (grand)children! Excellent food, pleasant staff. Also definitely worth visiting the adjacent arboretum afterwards or beforehand. A gem on the Veluwe.

Teleurstellende lunch. Zowel broodje carpaccio als vis trio onder de maat. 3 boterhammen (supermarkt kwaliteit) bedolven onder enorme hoeveelheid gemengde salade waarschijnlijk ook uit supermarkt. Voor beide gerechten zelfde sla. Dan de topping van carpaccio met pijnboompitten aangevuld met andere pitten en bestrooid met parmezaanse poeder kaas uit een zakje. Vervolgens verlepte en klont niet te herkennen rucola sla. Hier wel over geklaagd en drankje aangeboden gekregen. Al met al een gemakzuchtig geheel, geen recht doen aan eerdere goede ervaringen.

Delicious lunch, nice location and good service!

Beautiful place and finally able to eat a delicious vegan lunch, they get it here!

We had a drink here and had a snack. The appetizer was very good.

Beautiful location. Good service. How great that we were allowed to pay separately. And 1 euro discount on the observation tower. And walked to the lookout tower. Beautiful view

Very beautiful place in the forest with a large terrace. The food was very tasty and the service was friendly and quite fast. They also have quite a large range of Hert Beers, very nice and tasty! By the way, I would definitely recommend the fish trio 😀

Celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary in De Werkstee, beautiful location! Compliments for the arrangement and the service. Thanks for the improvisation and arranging the projector, great job. In short, everything was fantastic!

Gezellig op terras gezeten, er zijn flinke parasols. Bediening is erg vriendelijk en er is een prima sfeer. We hadden onze hond mee. We kozen een focaccia-brood flink belegd met Italiaanse vleeswaren, geitenkaas, sla, komkommer en tomaat. Verder koffie en thee, een Hert - weizenbier en ice tea. De wc was ook prima schoon.

Just ordered a carpaccio sandwich, bizarre, as if you were eating a piece of plastic, downright scandalous that something like this is served and you still have to pay money for it. Really nauseating. You should be ashamed, really...

A very messy service, where there was clearly a lack of leadership. As if there were 8 interns working on their own. Too bad because it is a brasserie with a lot of potential!

Celebrated our wedding at Schovenhorst, what a hidden gem! We had a fantastic day and everything was taken care of down to the last detail. Delicious food, beautiful location and attentive service that ensured there were no empty glasses. In addition, very nice and quick contact with Marloes during the preparation. She always thinks along with you, so nice! All in all a top location!

Veel te duur en het eten was absoluut niet vers. Na een mooie wandeling in het bos waar de brasserie in ligt, bestelde ik een salade. Ik kreeg verlepte bruine sla uit een zakje. Toen ik er wat van zei werd me verteld dat de zakjes de vorige dag binnen waren gekomen en dus vers was! De salade kost 20 euro, dan verwacht ik dus versgesneden sla! Sorry hier ga ik niet meer eten.

Beste mensen van de Schovenhorst, Dank voor de goede verzorging bij mijn 80e verjaardag. Het was een superdag. Aardig en correct personeel, de lunch was geweldig verzorgd en heerlijk. Dank jullie wel en hartelijke groet, Angeline Hubbers.

Cozy restaurant in nature, where you can take a lovely walk after your meal

The drinks with (small) pieces of cake were tasty. We did not find the service very pleasant. First of all, the short announcement that the apple pie was no longer in stock (at 1:30 PM, which is somewhat strange). But hey, it can happen. We were still having our drinks when the cake plates were taken away in front of us without a single word from the waitress as to whether we appreciated this, let alone asking if we had enjoyed it. In short, disinterested and unprofessional staff, which makes the experience a little less.

Our wedding was held at this beautiful location! Even though it is one location, there are so many beautiful places that you can enjoy that day, really cool! Preparations went very well, Marloes does a really great job and thinks along about everything! We will never forget this day! 🤍

A very beautiful place in the middle of the woods. Wonderful to rest for a moment and recover from enjoying something tasty from the menu.

Always nice to come there. Food was delicious again. Service very friendly and smooth. Until next time!

Nice spot, but very slow, slow service. Took an awfully long time. The sandwich I ordered could have been better called rusk, because it was so dry that it was impossible to eat... Too bad

Delicious food, great service, reasonable price.

Good coffee and tasty apple pie Recommended

Took a break during the walk and had a drink. Nice location in the woods.

Top location, delicious croquettes, in various flavors, sandwiches are also fine, but the hamburgers are really bad and very dry bread, also the peanut soup, is just a bowl of peanut sauce but very dirty, it also took almost 40 minutes before we got something to eat. The fries are also the cheapest fries you can buy in the supermarket. Very unfortunate... and to think that the burgers cost almost 20 euros... then you expect a top hamburger.....

We enjoyed a lovely gluten-free bun with carpaccio! Very nice and helpfull people.

Nice place on an estate Cozy with large terrace

Beautiful location in the forest. Great for walking there. Wonderful through the woods and then enjoy a snack and a drink.

I have been here several times via www.jetrouwautohuren.nl to deliver and collect wedding cars for a wedding ox shoot. You can take beautiful photos at the estate in the forest and if you have to wait or want to eat deliciously, I recommend the sandwich and cake! Big compliment to the staff, there was also someone who had left the lights on and when I arrived to start it, someone was already there to help if necessary. Top spot!

Atmospheric brasserie near a walking area. The menu is varied. This does not contain drinks or pastries. The homemade apple pie is indeed not a standard pastry, but it was not fresh.

We had a good meal there. Too much green on your plate. Not necessary. Just show the dish you ordered.⁹
