De Badgast in Wijk 05 Purmer-Noord

The food was delicious, but it took ages to arrive. And the ham and cheese sandwich wasn't even melted! And often, the orders aren't even correct.

I had the most pathetic hamburger imaginable here today. A fried piece of crap on a bun with no lettuce, tomato, cucumber, or pickles. Just some tomato ketchup, mayo, and some onions. The last time I was here, the tables were so dirty that I even had to ask for a dishcloth to clean my table by the pool.

Ridiculous. It's supposed to be open until 10:00 PM, but it always closes earlier, leaving the group swimming until 9:30 PM without anything. They also turn off the ice cream machine "when she's ready," so you're just lucky whether the lady gives you an ice cream or not. It's not normal.

For the past three weeks, that place has been closed well before 10 PM. Now that it's open, my friends and I aren't being helped because the woman only helps when she's ready. Poor service and unfriendly staff!

The fries are B-quality, as are the snacks and sauces. The service is often not very customer-focused. The fries also lack the salt, which is always so nice when swimming. My tip: switch to quality mini fries and Remia mayonnaise. And make sure the staff is enthusiastic.

Good for a cappuccino after swimming.

After 5:00 PM, the deep fryer won't turn on, there's no hot food, and the ice cream machine is being cleaned, meaning you can't order ice cream anymore. After 8:00 PM, you can't get or order anything at the pool, as they're not willing to help you. If you go to the lobby in your swimwear to order food or drinks from that side, they won't help you because you'll be standing there in your wet clothes, and then their floor will get wet. In other words, after 8:00 PM, you can't get anything, even though the pool is open until 9:30 PM. After asking the pool staff, I was told it's not part of the pool and is separate from it. ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS! If you sit on chairs in the pool, which apparently belong to the swimmers, you'll be kicked off, almost literally, or yelled at, and cursed at. Unacceptable! It's a good thing I can't give negative marks here, because I don't have a single good word to say about the bathers!
