What visitors say
De Woerd seems to evoke mixed feelings. One customer was deeply disappointed when their large high tea reservation for a 60th birthday celebration was canceled due to concerns about potentially needing the indoor space for other guests in case of rain. They felt this was poor customer service and a significant loss of revenue for the establishment.
However, other reviewers had positive experiences. Many praised the delicious food, particularly the lunch options and high tea, with one reviewer even specifically complimenting the Amsterdam-born chef’s talents. The friendly service and pleasant atmosphere were also frequently mentioned. Some enjoyed browsing and purchasing items from the adjacent farm shop. A few mentioned enjoying the location while on a walk.
On the other hand, some experienced extremely long wait times for simple orders like croquettes on bread, only to be told after a considerable wait that their original order wasn’t available. This led to frustration and negative reviews, with one person describing it as their worst restaurant experience in years, citing uninterested staff and poor management. A couple of reviewers stayed at the location with their camper and enjoyed the experience. One specifically mentioned the clean facilities and nice shop.
