Treated my wife to a lunch at van der Valk Hoogkerk because we have been together for 7 years and married for 4 years. Ordered a 12 o'clock for lunch and a chicken satay. Friendly staff. Unfortunately, my chicken satay was served cold, but with enough chicken (I found out about chicken thighs later). On the 2nd delivery it looked like a children's order. Fewer fries on my plate and the chicken satay pieces were suddenly a lot smaller. The chicken satay also turned out to be made from chicken thighs, which is really not my preference. This was also not on the menu. I find this to have much less taste and it was very hard on my stomach.This was also indicated to an employee at the restaurant (Jelte in a suit). He would pass it on internally. No compensation or excuses whatsoever.My wife ate alone first and then I did. I was eating chicken thighs when I thought I was just eating chicken.I have been coming to Van der Vlak for 15 years and it almost always has a good price/quality ratio.date: 29-10-2024table 33settled at 2:42 PMWe would like to hear from you about a suitable solution

Had brunch here with the wife. The food was good, as in all VD Valk hotels. However, the range was slightly smaller than usual. However, the quality was good. It is also an intimate, nice dining room, neat and tidy.
