Christmas dinner buffet
Celebrate Christmas at Van der Valk.
On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, we warmly welcome you at 5:00 PM for our Christmas buffet. We greet you with a glass of bubbly (also non-alcoholic). Upon arrival, you will be served a culinary starter at the table to enjoy with your company. Following this, the buffet awaits you with a variety of cold and hot dishes, and of course, to conclude, a dessert buffet. The buffet includes a drink package with unlimited house wine, draft beer, 0.0% beer, and soft drinks. The dinner buffet ends at 8:00 PM at the latest.
