Op Hodenpijl is a unique place in the green Midden-Delfland countryside in the west of the Netherlands where nature, culture, art, health and a sense of well being come together to produce something special. Restaurant de Herdershof serves healthy food prepared with fresh seasonal, locally sourced produce.
The vegetables are from their own gardens, which they also sell in the shop at the entrance of the restaurant. The pork is from their own mud loving, curly tailed pigs. You can visit the pigs and the chickens and rabbits. Just walk over the bridge in front of the church. The ingredients that Op Hodenpijl can’t produce themselves have to be organic and/or fair trade and locally sourced as much as possible.
The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. You can visit for a coffee and enjoy their fresh baked treats. For lunch they serve homemade soup with rustic bread, salads, quiches and fruit juice. In the evening you have a choice for meat or vegetarian. For large groups (+40) you can order a buffet.
