Sport, fun and the fresh air of the Kralingse Bos work up an appetite and thirst. That’s why, once again this year, CHIO Rotterdam offers a wide range of catering options. For this edition, there are some refreshing changes.
There are various food trucks and seating areas in the Entreedorp near the Dura Vermeer arena. In the Stroodorp by the Rotterdam arena, you’ll find a cozy bar, a new Borrelbites bar, of course a champagne bar for a festive experience, and a coffee caravan. You can also enjoy lunch or dinner at Bistro De Jockey Club, located in the Rotterdamsche Manege.
Tokens & Deposit
All food and drinks on our grounds are paid using tokens. These tokens cost €2.15 each and can be purchased from token machines at the entrance and in the Stroodorp. At the token counter in the Stroodorp, you can pay with card or cash. This counter is open daily from 11:00 AM. The token machines are available all day.
For all cups handed out at the CHIO grounds, you pay a deposit of 1 token (€2.15) with your first order. When you return your cup(s) at the bar, you receive 1 token back, so you won’t pay extra deposit with your next order. Do you have tokens left? You can return them at the token counter in the Stroodorp and receive €2.15 in cash per returned token. Or you can donate them at the exit to ‘Werken als een Paard,’ our charity program for children who need a helping hand.
Catering offer
For the complete food offer, you can visit the Entreedorp, where all kinds of delicious dishes are available. At the food trucks, you can find various kinds of churros, ice cream, delicious coffee from Piaccino, several duck burgers (including vegetarian), freshly baked fries, snacks, various Italian-inspired sandwiches and pasta. Of course, the traditional Dutch poffertjes with various toppings are also available again this year.
In the Stroodorp, you’ll find the new Borrelbites Bar, where you can enjoy the tastiest savory snacks, perfect with your drink.
