Restaurant Boshuis in Schaarsbergen

After arriving and checking in at EuroParcs de Hooge Veluwe, we wanted to grab a bite to eat around 6:00 PM. Upon checking in, we were recommended the park's restaurant, Boshuis. When we entered a nearly empty restaurant (only 4 tables were occupied and there was absolutely no one sitting outside), the 'hostess' came over to ask if we had made a reservation. We hadn't, and we were asked in a not-so-friendly manner if we would be willing to do so in the future, but for now, we were 'lucky'. Even other guests who overheard this pulled a surprised face. We had a delicious meal there and the other waiters were excellent, but thanks to this 'warm welcome', we avoided this restaurant for the rest of our stay.

I have never waited so long for food in my life!!!!! And afterwards I even got a lot of abuse about my review. Facts are facts and honesty is the best policy. Bad place.

Waited a very long time for food and received rude comments regarding criticism about the long wait.

Today we ordered fries, chicken nuggets, and bamischijf to go from the park. Unfortunately, the quality of the food was abysmal. We were proven wrong just how much can go wrong when frying. The fries were dry and, sadly, ended up in the trash for us adults. The kids nibbled on them. The nuggets and the bamischijf were overcooked and dark brown. We definitely cannot recommend this place. The service at the restaurant when we picked up the order was friendly.

We came in the afternoon just the two of us for a drink, accompanied by a 10-week-old puppy. We wanted to gently try to socialize the puppy and inquire if we could have dinner that evening. We were served courteously by Fabienne? (Blonde lady with a ponytail). We asked if we were welcome in the evening with the puppy as well. That was no problem, and when we returned later, she had reserved a quiet table in the corner for us. We received polite service and prompt waitstaff. And our puppy behaved very well. The food was of a reasonable standard, but the hospitality deserved a big thumbs up!

We had a fantastic afternoon here during our team outing! We did fun activities under the guidance of an enthusiastic guide. Afterwards, we enjoyed a delicious barbecue that we got to prepare ourselves. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended!

The food is horrible, reframe from eating here, service extremely impolite

Unfortunately, I can't recommend eating here. I had a cheeseburger whose patty was completely undercooked on the inside (see photo). I only noticed once I'd reached the middle – the outside wasn't well done either, but just about bearable. When I raised the complaint, there was no apology. Instead, I was simply told there was hardly anything left of it – even though it was a clear mistake from the kitchen. As "compensation," I was only offered a coffee on the house. When I asked whether I could get a vegan patty instead, the answer was no. My request to just have some fries instead, since I still wanted to eat something, was also declined – apparently only tea or coffee was available. It was only when the chef came over that they offered to cook the patty through. I got it back – it was better, but still raw on the inside. Two other cheeseburgers at our table were also quite raw; mine was unfortunately the worst. The vegan burger was okay. My conclusion: If you have the option, go somewhere else – or at least order something meat-free.

This evening, we first had drinks outside with a group of 20 adults and three children. Beautiful spot and good, friendly service. Afterwards, we ate à la carte inside. Extensive menu, something for everyone: meat and fish, vegetarian, vegan, and special dietary requirements. No restrictions on the menu due to the group size, yet everything was served equally and hot in a very friendly and enthusiastic manner. Compliments to the staff and the chef. P.S.: Received positive feedback from all guests regarding the food and the service. Compliments!

On the first evening, we wanted to grab a quick bite to eat here (me, together with my daughter). The staff didn't seem to appreciate that we hadn't made a reservation due to the crowds (although there were still tables available). We could order drinks via the QR code on the table, so that arrived quickly. When I asked for the dinner menu, I was given a strange look. They never took our order. After waiting for about half an hour, we just left and went to the pancake restaurant around the corner. Two days later, we made another attempt; we still had a voucher for two free dinners. The terrace was very quiet, with a maximum of about 4 tables occupied. Immediately upon sitting down, we asked what we could order with the voucher. Three courses. Afterwards, when paying, it turned out that we should have chosen from a different menu. The staff didn't know what to do about it, which was very odd. Our food was very tasty, though. The table behind us had ordered food, but it later turned out that this hadn't been passed on to the kitchen. They wanted to serve dessert four times instead of three. The staff came by in quick succession to ask if we wanted more drinks and if everything was to our liking. It was as if there were no rules and everyone was just doing whatever they wanted. A shame. A missed opportunity; it's a beautiful park, but the restaurant could really be better!

The cook did his absolute best and prepared a delicious salt-free soup! The rolls were also top-notch and the sweets tasty. It was a lot, but we can't complain about that. However, the service and reception were extremely poor. They were clearly not ready for us, and no one paid us any attention or explained what the high tea consisted of. We were glad we arrived early because a huge group sat down at 2 p.m., making it impossible to hear one another.

We reserved an Easter brunch on Easter Sunday and were very surprised by the extensive buffet. The food was plentiful and very tasty. The brunch lasted 3 hours, which is more than enough time to eat at your leisure. Finally, a dessert buffet was set up. Everything was perfectly arranged, with a calm and relaxed atmosphere. Definitely worth repeating.

Delicious Easter brunch, more than enough choice and very friendly staff. Highly recommended!

It was cozy with a nice atmosphere, well organized by the restaurant.

Good atmosphère and service but the food is just ok.

A high tea with frozen cake isn't what you expect when you book something like this. The food is very poor quality, and the service leaves much to be desired.

Had a great meal, great that they are open on Tuesdays during the holidays.

The food was delicious, with friendly, fast service. The restaurant is also nicely and thoughtfully decorated. Highly recommended.

We had a delicious lunch with the social deal walking package, which was more than enough, and we even got a hot drink and an apple turnover. Lovely place, lots of walking opportunities, highly recommended!

We had bought a 2-course meal and walking voucher via Social Deal, which also got you an apple turnover and a hot drink to go. The tomato soup was very tasty, and so were the croquettes. Very friendly staff and very clean. It was also very quiet and the food arrived quickly. Cozy spot.

Price quality certainly appropriate, you are helped quickly, I had a delicious meal

We waited 50 minutes for a starter and then 45 for the main course. Everything tasted good, but the staff/kitchen were completely incompetent. First, they asked three times if we wanted a drink within 5 minutes, then another 45 minutes without any drinks, leaving us with empty glasses. My main course arrived piping hot, while my wife's was lukewarm/cold. This is unacceptable and certainly not worth the price.

We can't comment on the food yet, unfortunately. We've been here for almost an hour and a half now and have barely managed two drinks. We ordered our food an hour ago (starter and main course). If you're going to clean the menus while the guests haven't had any drinks, you've completely missed the mark. 😓

Very successful BBQ with the family (17 people)

After 45 minutes of asking where our drinks were, it turned out we had to wait another half hour. There were three of them. There weren't even 10 tables occupied. Orders were taken without being written down. When we asked which dinner we could choose because one of the six had a milk allergy, they couldn't respond well. We politely complained and decided not to eat there because the service was poor. Therefore, 1 star.

Kaart niet op voorraad( biefstuk niet voorradig ) Bestek vergeten, drinken te laat gekregen. Verkeerde drank niet alcoholvrij! Groenten niet te pruimen, vlees ok zover. Bediening éèn persoon voor de hele tent. Had medelijden met de nette jongeman, ondoenlijk om zo te moeten werken. Sorry Europarcs Ruime ONVOLDOENDE!!!

Delicious food in a nice atmosphere

Excellent food with friendly service. The website didn't make it clear that it was located in the Europarcs park, but it was a pleasant stay.

Sweet girls, sit comfortably, eat well. Thank you.

Delicious and good food, friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere!

We had a nice Easter brunch. Very nice location ❤️

On Easter Sunday we enjoyed brunch at restaurant Boshuis, hot and cold dishes, such as various salads, croquettes, pasta, meatballs in tomato sauce, ragout bowl, various sandwiches, in short, too many to mention. Dessert to end, various ice cream cakes, mix of fruit, all very tasty. Tea and coffee, milk, orange juice, buttermilk and various other juices.

Delicious food, for a very reasonable price. The ratio is perfect and the girls in the service also work towards it. Friendly and open, nice to have a chat. We had the chicken thigh fillet with fries (super tasty!!) and an excellent salad. In short: if you want super tasty and simple food, you can do it here!

We have dined here twice since arriving and both times the food and the service exceeded our expectations. We received a warm welcome and attentive service both times. There's a large, well stocked bar and good non-alcoholic drinks as well. Certainly recommend.

Friendly service, good food at a reasonable price!

We got there just before 8 p.m. According to the internet the restaurant closes at 9 p.m. We walk into the restaurant and there is simply no service. No waiter nothing. Bar is empty. Simply no staff. After we started looking for staff, we found someone who cleaned the toilets there. This person then told us that there was no more food. At most just fries. But even this cannot be promised to us. Outside the Locally we look again at the opening times, it also says “open until 9 p.m.”. So why do you write that down when you don't have any staff in the store before 8 p.m. And can't deliver food either. Absolute failure 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻🙌🏻

A good-looking restaurant. The burger was nice 😋

The small restaurant is cosy, the employees nice. However the options for vegetarians are limited!

Very tasty food, friendly service, pleasant atmosphere. Nice fireplace!

Coincidentally, we came here because we were looking for a lunch spot on the way home. The location of the park itself is not very special and we would normally not do so quickly, but we were pleasantly surprised inside. Service, speed and food quality was good for the price. Nice people, and a great place to come with a 1.5 year old child (with changing area!). The parking lot seemed quite full, but we were able to park at the charging stations and load the car.

Cozy place with excellent food.

Very friendly staff and delicious food.

We and our group of friends had a great time sitting together at a prepared reserved table.

Very nice atmosphere, tasty food and friendly waitresses!

Cozy seating, quick service, friendly service who know what they are doing! Good food for a good price

Spontaneous service, tasty food, cozy atmosphere and great prices

Surprisingly good food and tasty beer. Nice place with friendly staff 👍

We decided to have our birthday party for a fairly large group at the Boshuis. We didn't know the location, so it was exciting to see if everything would go well. The communication in advance went very smoothly and the party itself went well. Drinks and lunch were perfectly provided and the employees ensured that we could fully focus on our guests. Children and people with allergies were also very well taken into account. Thank you!!

Friendly service. Nice menu put together for our group for a fair price. Salmon was delicious, nice dressing on the salad.

It was super busy but luckily we were still allowed to take a seat. Food and beer arrived quickly and the atmosphere was good! Highly recommended after a walk!

A delicious and enjoyable meal tonight. Excellent service. Thank you, we will come back again 😊

Very welcoming and friendly staff. Nice atmosphere, great having the restaurant on site.

Great place to eat and drink the staff are fantastic and very efficient

Fantastic food, good value for money. Service is great, staff very friendly. Lovely patio area, or comfortable seating inside, and great beer😊 Highly recommended, we'll definitely be back.😊👍

Great place to scoff after a long day at Arnhem celebrations. Mushroom starter, Schnitzel and red wine. Lovely end to a great day. Service with a smile too 😀

Lovely staff and food. Highly recommend.

Very accommodating, staff are very helpful and the food is superb. The restaurant has looked after us whilst we were on our trip for the Market Garden anniversary .

Excellent food at reasonable price, staff friendly and nothing to much bother. A credit to themselves.

Nice on site restaurant with helpful staff and good food only slight problem it shuts at odd times and different to what is showen outside. The staff are quick and very helpful. Had a mixed grill and I liked the fact it was smaller than normal as most are far two large I would rather have less and whats there be higher in quality which it was.

Good atmosphere, great service and quality food

Very friendly staff, lovely location, nice beer, good food, plenty to see locally

Fantastic people, polite and helpful

Had a great time with great friends and the staff were fantastic

Had a very tasty lunch and great service

Delicious food, good quality and service. Recommended! We had a nice meal there, but we also picked it up earlier. Great that you can also opt for complete meals.

We had a really delicious meal here, the food was perfectly prepared! And the staff was incredibly nice and took the time for you! In our opinion, an excellent recommendation for good food, friendly staff and a pleasant evening!

Unfortunately I cannot give more than 5 stars. The food is very tasty and affordable, the service is great! A food allergy is not a problem, it is taken very carefully into account.

Very tasty meal in a cozy restaurant. Compliments for the super hospitable and friendly service!

We were received very kindly. There was a very pleasant atmosphere. Service was very friendly and quick and the food was delicious.

Yesterday we had to wait a long time, but when we heard afterwards that the cook was alone, we understood. Compliments to the chef for making it all happen. The ladies at the counter, you were nice, keep up the good work.

A cozy restaurant. The service is good, and the food is even better. Really a must!

Very friendly service and delicious food

Upon arrival, we were able to have a nice bite to eat, friendly service👍

The food was surprisingly good, tasty and sufficient. The quality-price ratio is good The service is enthusiastic and so are we.

Great, delicious food. Class operation.

Had dinner tonight at restaurant Boshuis. It is quiet at the campsite and there is a pleasant atmosphere on the terrace. The staff is friendly and we had a delicious meal.

We were in contact about possibilities for a High rose beer range and this was received enthusiastically. We arrived and immediately received tasty snacks and our first drink. They purchased rose beer especially for us to have diversity in the range. We got a total of 5 different rose beers, ending with our favorite again. The atmosphere outside was very pleasant, but we would have liked some music inside. Furthermore, great seating and friendly staff.

Went to eat here today. Upon arrival, it was immediately reported that it was very busy and that it could take a little longer. However, after walking around and counting, there were 28 people (including children) and 4 staff in the service. Starter was quick (bread plate with spread) but after that it took a very long time. Main courses were very, very bad. Steak with pepper sauce was an old piece of steak probably from the freezer that had been poorly heated and fried for a few seconds. Pepper sauce didn't taste like pepper sauce at all but like gravy. Fried vegetables that came with it were very hard and certainly not pre-cooked. Spare ribs were okay, but certainly not restaurant worthy. The garlic sauce comes from a Remia bottle. Chicken satay was mediocre. Chicken thigh sticks probably from the freezer but certainly not fresh. Satay sauce again Remia. Fries and salad were fine, but unfortunately it was very difficult to eat without cutlery...... 10 minutes later the cutlery was finally available. Four people sat next to us at 7:05 PM and were asked in an annoying tone if they had made a reservation. People indicated that they just wanted to come and eat an ice cream and when the server looked very clearly at the watch, she indicated that that was possible... but we just indicated that we didn't think that was very nice. But it was very busy. Well, 28 people out of 4 people must be manageable? It is hot today and we should take it easy, they said, because the quality of the food was important... What a bummer......never again

We hebben onze maaltijd afgehaald, alles is goed verlopen bij het bestellen. De maaltijden waren op tijd klaar. De spare ribs waren verrukkelijk, ook de snitzel was lekker. Bij beide waren groenten bij en ook voldoende sausjes. Deze is een aanrader

The smallest Mixed Grill dish we've ever seen. Half a steak, two spareribs, two small pieces of chicken on a stick. Caesar salad was good. Not eating there again.

Fast service and very good service by Ellen. The food was delicious and not expensive. Highly recommended for a nice lunch. We would love to come back. Thanks Ellen!

Very friendly staff. A cozy space, both inside and outside. The menu is not extensive, there is little choice for vegetarians/non-meat eaters. But what we ordered was very tasty, very large portions and served quickly.

By chance we ended up at this cozy restaurant after a visit to the open-air museum. What a good atmosphere inside and outside. Really friendly staff and the food was very tasty and well presented. Our compliments!

Fantastic restaurant where we had a delicious meal. The staff is extremely friendly. The manager Aysel provides good guidance and leadership, she knows her stuff. Half a word is enough for her. Aysel is simply a TOP!!!

Stayed at the park for a week. Went to dinner twice. First time everything was to your liking. Second time we had to wait a little longer to order drinks. After dinner we ordered something to take back to the house. There was a hostess walking around who was clearly working to death. He told us that food would be ready shortly, and passed this on to an assistant who was at the bar and who was clearly serving us for the first time, and who actually came across as very arrogant to us. And was clearly disinterested in his work and reacted to everything with irritation. And the gentleman had forgotten to bring us the food... when the hostess saw us after 40 minutes of running around. We found out that the helper had left the food cold. Pity. The boy totally brought down the atmosphere for us.

Delicious food, cozy atmosphere and top notch service

Friendly service and a really tasty nacho plate, which our boys thought too

A delicious and pleasant dinner at Boshuis restaurant. Service was smooth and nice. The restaurant looks a bit dark, possibly due to the dark furniture, but the atmosphere is cozy.

Delicious food and the staff is super friendly, even stayed open longer to finish the billiards game

Spare ribs and salmon are fine. Cheesecake is also recommended. Super friendly service.

We had a delicious meal here, delicious spare ribs and delicious salmon, desserts were also great. The staff was very friendly, they did their best for the birthday boy or girl by hanging streamers/balloons and putting beautiful fountains in the dessert. Highly recommended!

Excellent food Good dessert Nice restaurant

Tasty food for a good price. Super friendly service. Recommended.

Ate here twice in a short time. It was very tasty, good meat and lots of vegetables. Staff are very friendly

I ordered steak and it was very well prepared with garnish and fries and 2x Deer beer. Total less than 30 euros.. nice friendly service in an attractive room where you can also sit outside on the terrace... Recommended!!

We made reservations at the restaurant for our family holiday well in advance. On arriving the waitress was surprised to hear we were a large group. Nevertheless she accommodated us. We then proceeded to wait 1.5 hour for our food, and we are still waiting at the time I’m writing this review. The staff never asked us if we wanted anything else to drink while we waited, and largely ignored us. I’d give 0 stars for the food as we haven’t gotten the chance to taste anything. Disappointing and would definitely avoid.

Heel heel heel slecht ten eerste 2 uur op ons eten gewacht en toen zijn we weglopen. Geen idee hoelang het verder nog geduurd zou hebben. Terwijl we wachten heeft ons broodplankje de hele tijd op tafel gestaan. Tot dat iemand zei “ we hebben borden nodig!” Toen pas kwamen ze het halen. Toen ze ons broodplankje op kwamen halen vroegen ze nog “heeft het gesmaakt” ja dag, het stond er al twee uur. En toen ik naar het bestek ging kijken was mijn vork helemaal krom. Ik kom hier nooit meer en ik adviseer mensen ook hier nooit te komen behalve voor misschien een kopje koffie.

We arrived with a large group, with a reservation made the week prior. We got told there wasn’t any space and it’s too busy. On insisting we had a reservation the waitress seated us anyway. We ordered immediately. We then waited for 2:05 minutes. The staff avoided us most of the time, didn’t offer us anything to drink while we waited, and provided no updates on our food. Many customers started to get agitated and food seemed to be served haphazardly throughout the restaurant. It was an absolute mess. It was obvious they were totally understaffed, but that doesn’t excuse the rude behavior of the lady in charge. After 2:05 minutes we left without having eaten anything. Never in my life have I experienced anything like this.

A nice restaurant with tasty dishes and plenty of variety on the menu. We received friendly service and fries were continually replenished.

We were there at a quiet time. The food tasted great, the mushrooms in batter starter were very tasty, the spareribs also tasted great. The food came quickly, friendly service. Nice environment with the paintings on the walls. Great for a bite to eat after a walk in the woods
