It's a horrible pub. When you arrive you don't go home within three hours. It really is a lovely, classical and cozy place!

Sind durch Zufall zu dem Cafe gekommen. Kind wollte ein Eis und hat extra eines vom Chef bekommen, obwohl nicht angeboten wird. Super Service, nette Leute. Klare Empfehlung

Na een fietstocht vanuit Nederland, heerlijk op terras aan een pint. Kregen er een schaaltje chips bij, en een super vriendelijke bediening.

Relaxed tavern a little outside of Arendonk. Friendly place with comfortable outdoor seating (shaded and unshaded). Friendly, helpful proprietor. I had a very enjoyable break here.

Een gezellig cafe waar je als klant nog in de watten wordt gelegd. Klant is Koning. Gewoon ongedwongen gezellig
