Themed Dinners at Over-Amstel Boerderij
CELEBRATE SEASONS
Come taste the polder
We welcome you to our special dinners which are themed to suit the season. Of course, we prepare the dishes with as many products as possible from our farm or local produce. We want to put the Duivendrecht polder in the spotlights. Would you like to join our dinners? Then book your seat today.
Wine pairing
For our themed dinners, we offer guests the option to book a selection of wines that complement the courses, either alcoholic or non-alcoholic. We do not serve alcohol to underage patrons.
Good to know
Having dinner at Over-Amstel Boerderij is an experience in itself. You and your group will travel to the farm by boat. The evening starts at 6:00 PM, when the boat departs from Ouderkerk aan de Amstel. Upon arrival (approx. 20 minutes later), there will be a warm welcome with a drink. If you are arriving independently by bike or on foot, please plan to be there by 6:45 PM.
During our dinners, we tell you more about what we do on the farm and what we want to achieve here. The evening ends around 9:30 PM. The boat will bring you back to Ouderkerk, where you will arrive around 10:00 PM.
Agenda
Fully booked | Friday 31 October | Love from the Farm | €95.00
The farm is a harmony of people, animals and tradition. For this dinner, Chef Herb highlights craftsmanship and togetherness: meat from local partners, cheese from our cheesemaker Dewi, bread from Oliver’s oven, and of course vegetables from our own land. A four-course menu that showcases the richness of our farm and makes the bond with the landscape tangible.
Friday 14 November | Chef Herb’s Old Flames | €95.00
Back by popular demand after last year’s glowing feedback. They say love goes through the stomach, and this dinner is a heartfelt example. Chef Herb brings back the dishes he loved growing up, including traditional favourites like zooitje and pot-au-feu, just as his mother used to make them.
Real comfort food, made with care, quality ingredients and above all, love.
Wednesday 19 November | Love for the Amstel(geuzen) | €100.00
Over-Amstel Boerderij and the Amstelgeuzen combine their love for the Amstel and the polder. The rowing club is saving up for new accommodation on the river, and we are happy to support this with a special charity evening. Our chef will serve a three-course menu featuring flavours from the Duivendrecht polder, including wine pairings. Olympic champion Nico Rienks will share his inspiring story, and during the auction you can bid on unique experiences. An evening full of sport, flavour and togetherness on the Amstel.
Friday 21 November | Autumn in the Over-Amstel Garden | €95.00
Autumn is all around, and you’ll taste it in every bite. This themed dinner features a multi-course menu using the best of what our vegetable garden has to offer this season. Expect dishes with roots, cabbages and pumpkins from our garden, enriched with ingredients from our own cheesery.
Friday 28 November | Dutch Game | €95.00
The deep, rich taste of game is something you’ll want to experience. We have created a surprising dinner with game sourced from the beautiful Veluwe forests. You’ll enjoy dishes with hare, goose, venison and wild boar, combined with fresh ingredients from our own region. Carefully selected wines will accompany the courses to enhance the flavours. As we move towards winter, this evening will be warm and full of taste. Please note: not suitable for vegetarians.
Wednesday 17 December | Christmas at the Farm | €115.00
An evening filled with festive lights, warmth and atmosphere. Our chefs prepare a special Christmas menu where tradition meets creativity. The dishes are made with ingredients from the polder and enriched with seasonal combinations that capture the essence of winter. Surrounded by old wooden beams and sparkling lights, you’ll feel the joy of being together. Christmas at Over-Amstel Boerderij is more than just dinner, it’s an intimate experience of taste, ambiance and story.
ENJOY
Dinner by the Amstel River
In the barn attached to the front house, we have created a restaurant, bar, and open kitchen where our chefs are delighted to prepare a delicious dinner for you. The old elements of the farm are integrated into the interior, blending the history of the polder with modern comfort.
