Jo was in the kitchen with a big pot on the stove, and the smell of Limburg-style stew filled the house. Outside it was raining softly, typical Dutch weather, but inside it was warm and cozy.
“Good stew needs time,” Jo said as she stirred slowly. And she was right. By the time the boat set off, a steaming dish of rich, flavorful stew was ready, served with fresh fries from the local farmer.
Sometimes all you need is a pot of stew and good company to make the day perfect.
Simply tasty. A wonderfully dirty, juicy, tender burger! It’s mouth watering just thinking about it. The best part is that I have never met a person in the world who could not enjoy a good burger. Whether it came from a animal on 4 or no legs, a burger never disappoints.
The table was too small for all the bowls Jo had prepared, each one steaming and bursting with colour. She looked at me with that proud little smile and said, “Aad, tonight we’re travelling without leaving home.”
And she was right. The air was filled with the scent of spices — coconut, soy, and a hint of chili. There was the Rempah Bal, that spiced meatball with coconut I could never resist, tender satay skewers, and big bowls of nasi and bami. On the side, the crisp prawn crackers, cassava chips, and the fresh tang of Ketimun and Atjar Tjampoer.

You will of experience the most enjoyable cruise through Rotterdam at Uncle Aad’s! The tour takes you along the banks of the Nieuwe Maas to the east, where we turn at De Kuip. We navigate west through the city center with its formidable high-rise buildings to the Rotterdam ports. In these working ports we sail close to the large seagoing vessels, while you enjoy a drink and a hamburger with possibly some fries.
The burger boats are available all year round with burgers consisting of organic meat from our quality butcher, a half beef half oyster mushroom burger or a full oyster mushroom burger. A fully organized trip of at least 2 hours through the ports of Rotterdam including drinks.
Would you like to try all burgers or partial vegetarian and beef? No problem, all packages can be combined together within the group. Feel free to let us know in advance how many of which type is desired, and we will wait with the BBQ already turned on.
If you want to play a fun retro game in Rotterdam, without chasing an iPad, and at the end have a nice drink with some cheese and bitterballen in a typical Rotterdam establishment or on the pub boat, the Pub hunt is the right game. In this game you go from one location to another on foot. While searching for the typical Rotterdam locations you get to know the city in a different way. But don’t stand still for too long, because the team that finds the secret pub location first wins!
What you will do
Each team chooses where to go based on a global map. At each location you will be confronted with a question related to where you are standing. The answer to the question must be entered in a riddle. The more answers the easier it becomes to unravel the slogan. Each letter of the slogan has its own number. Those numbers in turn need to be unraveled into a final coordinate by means of a formula; the pub location.
Game duration
Approximately 2.5 hours (including start-up). The award ceremony will take place afterwards while enjoying a drink at a cozy (and to be kept secret until the end) final location. Drink is not included.
Locations
The Pub hunt is played in the center of Rotterdam.
