"There were 7 of us and all had chosen something different from the menu. Everyone liked it. The staff was immediately ready to make sure we didn't lack anything," the digital guestbook reads. Where many restaurants focus on a particular target group, Den Hespel has a very diverse audience. Everyone is welcome here, which is further illustrated by the disabled parking spaces near the entrance.
If you come with the whole family, do not worry that the children might get bored. In fact, next to the restaurant they can have a great time in a playground.

Brabant comes to life at Den Hespel
Under the motto "honest = delicious," Den Hespel uses only regional products from local suppliers, so they know where everything comes from. In addition, Den Hespel's spare ribs, for example, are widely known for their secret recipe. At Den Hespel you can enjoy the whole day in a relaxed atmosphere. So also for a delicious sausage roll in between.
Come and enjoy a place where you start and end the day!
