De Boswachter in Erp

Quiet destination, nice atmosphere, great food.

Very cozy location to catch up over a delicious lunch....

Very slow service. Unfortunately, the staff are blind to the problem. It's a shame, it's in a beautiful location!

Had a nice meal together with Tom, Evelien and the children.

You had to be very patient with drinks or food. Jeez, hire an extra girl, that would save on grumpy visitors. The scavenger hunt is really fun though.

We did a super fun escape room with the kids.

Nice location with a playground, but everything looks messy. The staff do their best but are understaffed, and so is the kitchen, so we had to wait 1.5 hours for our appetizers and snacks to arrive. No apology or drink for the poor service, so this could be better. We will have lunch somewhere else next time.

Excellent, well-prepared food. A little more patience is needed during busy times.

A cozy and beautiful place on the edge of a forest.

We had a delicious meal and drinks at De Boswachter! The Squirrel Trail was also great fun for the children. A cozy place and definitely recommended for families!

Super nice location, next to a playground for kids. Delicious lunch menu!

Very cozy spot! The quality of the food is good! It's just a shame they don't have gluten-free bread. I also find the portions on the small side.

Nice place for dinner and the menu looked good too. It's a shame that the terrace was a bit crowded with lots of people talking. 🫠But the atmosphere was great and the food was delicious.🍔🍟🍽️ THAT'S WHAT MATTERS TO ALL ABOUT!!!

Always positive experiences here, though today was a bit less so. You cannot order sweet wine by the glass. The choice is: (mandatory) order a mini bottle of 2 glasses or no sweet wine. Explanation from the manager: we only buy mini bottles because almost no one drinks sweet wine; otherwise, we would have to throw away too much. Understandable, but not really customer-friendly for a visitor who only wants 1 glass. As an owner, you could also choose to pour 1 glass from a mini bottle and save the other half for another customer or eventually throw it away. Throwing away 1 glass seems less bad to me than half a bottle. Just a tip. Additionally, I ordered a glass of dry white wine. When it was served, I was told it was a Pinot Grigio. Delicious! However, I didn't know I had a choice, because I hadn't looked at the menu. If you offer 3 or 4 types, you mention that when taking the order, I would think. Or was this bottle coincidentally already open and the others weren't.....? I won't make a big deal out of it; it's just feedback.

Pleasantly situated in the woods between Erp and Gemert.

Had a tasty meal! The Carpaccio sandwich was good, but it wasn't a sandwich. It was a hard, sticky bun and difficult to cut. The taste was top-notch though👍🏻 Tasty coffee and friendly service.

Nice location for a nice lunch and parties

Nice terrace, especially a cozy atmosphere for having a drink. Fun activities and a nice menu with plenty of choice.

Enjoying a cold cola during our Tuesday morning ride

Nice place just where is tent and litlle shed You could put some ventilattors in Slovenia we win with that on sunmer

Nice place for a drink or lunch. Walks, scavenger hunt. Indoor and outdoor terrace. A small mistake was resolved properly. Recommended for children as well.

Just had an iced coffee at the Boswachter and have never had such bad iced coffee as the one from the Boswachter in Erp! Lukewarm coffee, ice cubes instead of real ice, and you couldn't taste the caramel flavor at all, and then they dare to charge 7.00 euros for it too, really unbelievable, I'm never going there again! Kind regards Mia Smits

A cozy restaurant in the woods. There is a nice little playground for the children. Dogs are welcome, and there are even dog menus on the menu.

Nice location, atmosphere ok. Abnormal prices.

Cozy spot with a playground right by the woods. Tasty lunch options. However, the terrace was, so to speak, full, and we couldn't reserve a spot either. We were allowed to ‘grab a table if one became available’. The water section of the playground was turned off, even though that is the main attraction for families with children. There was no response to the question of whether the water was on. The toilets are a bit cramped if you have to wait.

Cozy terrace with playground & tasty food and drink menu

beautiful surroundings attentive service

Helped quickly, a nice location Good coffee

Super nice spot in the woods with very friendly and fun service. Fantastic!!!

DETAILED REVIEW: We reserved for 12:00, but by 1:30 we had only had one round of drinks and our food still hadn't arrived. A table that arrived an hour later already had food before we were even asked for a second round of drinks. We also ordered cauliflower soup; according to the menu, this was the seasonal soup, but when we received it, it turned out to be asparagus soup. The waitress was acting like she had brass knuckles when we ordered because there was no cauliflower soup. They also made a mistake with an order, meaning one person didn't get the right food. The food was fine, but expensive for the quality you get. Something also went wrong during payment; extra items were added that we hadn't ordered, but fortunately, this was eventually resolved. The toilets were also very dirty and half-broken. Not a place I would return to for lunch, though the nature here is beautiful.

We had reserved for 12 and still haven't received our food, and it is 2 o'clock so we have no idea what the food is like. We also didn't get drinks once, which is a real shame, but the surroundings are beautiful!

Gift card ordered online in December.

What a lovely spot in the woods this is! Had a delicious cappuccino, and had the flatbreads for lunch. They were so good that we went back two days later 😍 Friendly staff too.

Nice, small-scale place. Sunny terrace & good service.

Nice place to grab a bite to eat after a walk in the woods.

Enjoy a nice walk in the woods and then have lunch or a drink with the forest ranger.

Cozy atmosphere, delicious food, friendly and attentive staff. We love coming here!

A really nice spot in the woods near Erp. Everything was well-maintained, and they have a wide selection on the menu. Highly recommended!

Wild mushroom soup with delicious mushrooms. Price is high, but quality is good.

Had a delicious lunch. Lots of choice and fresh produce.

Delicious biscuits with tea and a lovely lunch. Great service by Noortje!

A cozy spot for lunch or a drink after a walk in the woods. Nice playground and beautiful woods. Unfortunately, lately, the wait for orders has been very long.

A lovely little restaurant where you can enjoy a meal or a drink. Close to the woods with beautiful hiking trails.

Beautiful location, delicious food

What a fantastic location where you can combine sport with pleasure. In the summer, there's a cozy, large terrace. We'll definitely sit there sometime, but now it's winter. And with this snow, it looks absolutely magical. The food is delicious and the portions are generous. The original forester's cottage is still there, and there's also some historical information, which I always appreciate! If my story hasn't convinced you yet, you should definitely go and see for yourself. You won't regret it!

We enjoyed a lovely winter walk through "Het Hurkske" with our MTB club. Afterwards, we enjoyed a delicious lunch with nine people. The lunch and the service were excellent. Definitely worth repeating.

What a lovely and cozy place nestled in the woods. Everyone is friendly.

Nice place in a beautiful setting. Absolutely nothing wrong with it. The menu looks good too, but charging €2.80 for two handfuls of peanuts? That's really next-level restaurant prices...

Cozy little restaurant to sit after a walk with a sunny terrace, if it shines 😉

A pleasant place to grab a bite to eat or drink after a walk. Unfortunately, the staff isn't very adept at cleaning, taking orders, etc., but I think that's because they've hired a lot of new, young staff.

We had an à la carte lunch on Christmas Day with a reservation. We received a warm welcome with a lovely gift, and the dishes were, as always, spot-on! Despite the crowds, both the kitchen and the service seemed to function like a well-oiled machine. That must have been a great pep talk beforehand 💪. We certainly had a wonderful time and give our sincere compliments to the team! We will definitely be back ☺️

We went for a walk this morning and had a nice drink at the Boswachter. The walking route from 't Hurkske is very clearly marked! The surroundings are beautiful too! There's a cozy little place to have a drink. We ordered a pumpkin spice latte, a cappuccino, and a brownie stroopwafel. It's also great that they offer alternative milks for people with milk intolerances. I have no idea what the lunch tastes like, but it all looks delicious!

✨ Review There were three of us, and all three of us were enthusiastic. The welcome, the service, and the food were excellent. The menu pleasantly surprised us: right in the heart of Brabant, the Limburg dish Zoervleis was on the menu. For us, as Limburgers, the choice was easy — and what a fantastic dish! We didn't have to think long: it was delicious. Highly recommended for anyone who loves regional dishes. We will definitely be back!

A fun walk for kids. Pick up your backpack at the forest café and feel like a real ranger. The food was delicious, with plenty of choices, and the staff were very friendly.

Very nice location to relax after a nice walk in the forest and enjoy the delicious things they have here

Too busy when we were there beautiful Sunday afternoon.

Sat here for drinks for the second time, and again had to wait at least half an hour. Finally, I had to get the waitress to order. They even helped other customers who had just been seated first, instead of us. This is due to them not looking and staring around inactively. It could really be better, and it's not because they're busy, but because they're not working efficiently. I think they're losing a lot of regular customers because of this. Before the takeover, I came every week, and now I only go once a year, when I'm helped. Because otherwise, I'd go home without ordering anything...

Long wait, not communicated beforehand. The food was fine, but not particularly tasty.

Cozy terrace. Also fun for children.

We had to wait a very long time for them to take the decision, and then we had to wait another 30 minutes for coffee and tea. The food took at least an hour to arrive. And it wasn't all served at the same time. And I don't think the waitresses were particularly enthusiastic. It was very difficult to smile, and you had to ask them to take the empty container with you. They could make something really nice out of it. Because the food was good. I hope it goes better and faster next time.

Delicious food. The decor is perfect for a forest ranger restaurant. Friendly staff.

We had a nice drink here after a walk through the woods. Great place!

A cozy spot in the woods. Reservations are recommended, as there aren't many seats and it's always busy, especially in good weather. There's plenty of room for children to play, both indoors and outdoors. You can also keep a close eye on them from the terrace. We had lunch here and both had the flatbread (pulled chicken and Italian), which was delicious and definitely worth repeating. The tomato soup was also good, with a bit of a kick. I can also recommend the lemonade; I had the lavender with lemon. Nice and refreshing and a bit different than usual. The children enjoyed a sausage roll, which was also delicious. We'll definitely be back and definitely recommend it (in good weather) with children!

Nice atmosphere in a nice location. We also spotted a deer during the activity.

The food was delicious and very extensive

Nice place with a lovely playground for kids, good menu and friendly service.

Friendly service, nice location.

A great place to stop for coffee and a snack or lunch while cycling. Plenty of parking for cars and bikes, and charging stations.

Atmosphere full location. Nice with a playground for the little ones. Service was good But really too expensive for what you actually get. We had ordered Flatbread polled chicken and Italian was really meager. Sausage roll 4.50 euros. 3 pancakes per plate 8.50 euros. I will not come back for lunch.

Nice location, nicely decorated. Perfect place to have a drink or something to eat after walking. Parking is limited, so on busy days you can be unlucky.

Played the Forest Escape game with family, with coffee and cake beforehand and a drink with snacks afterwards. Very nice fantasy game for young and old, highly recommended! The owners think along well to be able to offer something to people with gluten allergy and vegetarian is also no problem. Of course, please indicate in advance. Atmospheric business and friendly service. Everything was top notch and the whole family enjoyed the family outing..

Nice place. Plenty of parking. Nice terrace and playground. It is located in the forest. We booked the Forest Escape here for a large group. That is very nice, for both children and adults (mixed) this was a successful adventure. You are busy with it for 2 hours and make a nice walk. We also had coffee with cake, a lunch and then a drink with a bittergarnituur. Everything neatly taken care of, good taste and served with a smile. I can recommend going here once and certainly to do this activity for a family day, for example.

Had lunch with my son. Surroundings and location beautiful. But the lunch and ice coffee WAY too expensive, what you get. I was shocked how much I had to pay.

Nice place to have something to eat, but no high tea, too expensive for what you get. Unlimited tea (no fresh ginger or mint tea) but from bags. Too bad.

Very friendly welcome! Beautifully furnished Yurt! With clean sanitary facilities. Beautiful area for cycling and walking. Very child-friendly safe playground!! Recommend!

Fantastic place to go with young children and have a cup of coffee. I won't be back for lunch. The food tasted fine, but I think the price is very high for the quantity and quality.

Lovely spot for a delicious lunch and coffee. Summer time is lovely here. We ate lunch and then went for a long walk through the woods. Beautiful. Smashed burger and mushroom croquettes were yummy.

Super nice place to spend an afternoon with smaller children when the weather is nice. They can play outside there.

A really nice place to have a drink or something to eat after the walk in the forest. Wonderful environment. Nice service.

We couldn't eat anything at 5 p.m. We quickly cycled to Nia Domo.

A delightful place, delicious food, very friendly service and also great for those with children. Pets are also allowed and there is a beautiful forest behind the restaurant for walks. I recommend it!

A warm welcome in a very hospitable environment and delicious food. Recommended.

We enjoyed sitting outside during our walk. Beautiful location

Really had a nice lunch here! Friendly service too. And in a rather special place. Especially don't forget to walk through the forest from here...

Nice place to start or end a walk. You can sit outside, just outside or inside. Space to play for children. Delicious different types of tea on the menu. Ginger tea with orange or 'dirty' chai latte (this contains a shot of espresso) are definitely recommended. In a display case were the pastries to go with coffee (or tea of ​​course), of which the apple pie looked delicious. Staff friendly. Sanitary facilities looked neat. Parking is possible next to the De Boswachter site and is free. Ideal for a nice chat with someone or to enjoy something tasty or a healthy meal after a walk with your family. Can be found between Erp and Gemert.

Lovely tent with sunny terrace. Perfect place after a walk in the woods. Excellent parking and small playground available.

We had lunch there and then went for a walk through the adjacent forest. The food was excellent and the combination with the sun made it complete. The adjacent forest offers a nice opportunity for a walk before or after lunch.

If you serve stale bread, at least toast it.

Great place to have a drink after the walk! Friendly waiter!

Super fun to drink coffee with delicious apple pie at the forester's. Location is great here in the forest and the farm is a dream. You want to live there 🏡😊

Nice meal. Pea soup was home made and very tasty.

Ok I was here on a Saturday and it was pretty good, but I came on Sunday and my group waited 45 minutes for our drinks and we still missed one, we didn't even want to order snacks so we paid and left (we had chocolate milk with whipped cream and when we got it the whipped cream looked like it had been there for at least 5 minutes and it was no longer warm)

Location is very nice including the decoration. Despite being fairly quiet, the service was slow. Pulled chicken sandwich was black. Second attempt was better, but given the price it was poor and substandard. My wife had the madder sandwich which was good.

Bad service, it all took a very long time. Order also went wrong. Price performance disproportionate. We won't be going back for a while.

Enjoyed coffee with stewed pears - caramel cake! Very nice staff!

After a lovely walk you can come here to warm up with a drink or a snack. I don't think I'm the only one who would like those gigantic potholes in the parking lot to be filled.

We like to visit the Forest Ranger in the summer. Lovely on the terrace. Friendly staff. Now for a high tea. Delicacies with high tea are excellent. We found that a downside was that we had to pay for the coffee separately at checkout (without being told in advance). At most restaurants you can choose from coffee or tea without an additional charge.

Just discovered this nice cozy restaurant. A must for a nice coffee, lunch or dinner.

Very tasty meal. The wild mushroom soup is definitely recommended!

The service was very friendly and quick even though the restaurant was crowded. Forrest is delightful, will be coming back.
