Parties and celebrations in the attic at Bitter en Zoet in Veenhuizen

What we offer

Parties and celebrations in the attic

A birthday, anniversary, baby shower or simply a party with family and friends? The attic at Bitter en Zoet is an atmospheric, fully renovated space with its own lobby, right inside the monument. Venue hire from € 195, catering fully arranged by us or by you.

High up in the former 1893 hospital you will find the attic: exposed beams, warm lighting and its own lobby where you welcome your guests. Accessible by lift, so easy for everyone to reach.

Room for groups of up to 30 people seated, or over 50 people for a standing party or drinks reception.

Two ways to celebrate

Fully arranged: our kitchen, led by head chef Peter and sous-chef Jos, takes care of food and drinks. From bites and a walking dinner to a generous buffet or a full menu with local, organic produce. We compose the catering around your wishes and send it as a quote.

Do it yourself: prefer to bring your own cake, snacks or decoration? That is fine. You hire the attic as it is and style it your way; we provide tables, chairs and a warm welcome.

What it costs

Venue hire: € 195 for a part of the day or an evening, including tables, chairs and basic lighting.

Catering: always by quote, tailored to your group and wishes.

Staying over: your guests can sleep in our hotel rooms, always including the extensive breakfast buffet.

Request a quote without obligation or give us a call; we are happy to think along about the programme, styling and timings.
