There will be tickets for sale for our upcoming Quiz Night, Sinterklaas Party, Christmas Luncheon and also a Bike Raffle.

Go Dutch Delicatessen will be there with many traditional treats associated with Sinterklaas and Christmas; as well as their usual extensive assortment of Dutch groceries, which includes a delicious selection of Dutch cheeses. In addition there will be a number of stalls with: oliebollen, poffertjes, filled speculaas, herring, smoked mackerel, eggs, craft items, as well as frozen kroketten and bitterballen to take home.

Owen will once again have witlof available for sale - be quick though, as he's likely to sell out quickly!

There will be a children’s craft / activity table set up on the outside deck. The kitchen will be selling coffee/tea, juice, kroketten, bitterballen, broodjes kroket and broodjes worst - which can all be consumed on the premises. Eftpos available.

As always, there is extra parking available across the road at Capital Press, 136 Rockfield Road!

We look forward to welcoming you to Holland House.
