BBQ on Scheveningen beach

Strand BBQ in Scheveningen

A barbecue on Scheveningen beach, with your feet in the sand and a chef behind the grill. At Blue Lagoon on Strand Noord, it works exactly as it should: fresh meat and fish from local suppliers, an elaborate vegetarian selection, salads and sauces from their own kitchen, and a setting where you don't have to pack up by 10 PM. For corporate outings, bachelor/bachelorette parties, birthdays, family gatherings, and weddings.

Why a BBQ at Blue Lagoon

  • Live grilled for the guests, not prepared in advance and covered
  • Fish from our supplier within walking distance in Scheveningen Harbour
  • Meat from trusted butchers we have worked with for years.
  • Vegetarian as a standalone menu, not a supplementary set of dishes
  • Salads, side dishes and sauces from our own kitchen
  • The quieter northern part of the beach, away from the crowds
  • Kitchen until 10.30 pm and bar until midnight, so the evening continues

We are located on the quieter northern part of the beach, far enough from the hustle and bustle of the Pier and the Kurhaus that your group's party won't get lost in the surrounding beach traffic. And close enough that your guests will be with us within 25 minutes from The Hague Central Station. In good weather, the BBQ is set up on the terrace with the sea right in front of it; in less favourable weather, it's in the covered conservatory with the same view.

GUARANTEED SUCCESSFUL BBQ

Live from the grill

Imagine the smell of the grill, the sea in the background, and a chef who only puts your meat or fish on the fire when you sit down. No pre-cooked dishes under foil, but everything prepared fresh as you watch.

The fish comes from our local supplier in Scheveningen Harbour, and the meat is from butchers we've worked with for years. We make the salads, side dishes and sauces in our own kitchen, so there won't be any bottles on the table.

Even if the weather doesn't cooperate

Planning a BBQ on the beach in the Netherlands usually means gambling on the weather. Not with us. If the weather is good, the grill is on the terrace with the sea right outside, and if the weather is less favourable, everything moves into the covered conservatory with exactly the same view.

The arrangement will proceed as agreed, only the setting will change. So you don't have to wait until the last week to decide, and your guests don't need a backup plan you Remember.

Background Shadow

What's going on the grill

The BBQ package is always custom-made. We work with four fixed lines that you combine according to group size, budget, and preference.

Meat

Spareribs with homemade sauce, Black Angus burger with truffle mayo, chicken skewers, steak pieces, and chorizo. If you want to go all out, we'll also put tomahawk steak, lamb chops, or Black Tiger prawns on the grill.

Fish

Tuna steak, sea bream, salmon fillet and seasonal fish, fresh from Scheveningen harbour. Oysters and prawns as a starter.

Vegetarian

Grilled aubergine, large portobello, halloumi, stuffed peppers and oven-roasted seasonal vegetables. Prepared with the same care as the meat and fish dishes.

Salads and sides

Raw food salad, pasta salad, a potato dish, bread with homemade butter and aïoli, plus a changing seasonal side dish. We make the sauces ourselves, so no bottles on the table.

Vegetarian, vegan and dietary requirements

Vegetarian options are not an afterthought for us, but a standalone offering with the same freshness and attention as our fish and meat dishes. For vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free, halal, and pregnant guests, we standardly prepare separate portions. Please inform us of your dietary requirements at least a week before your BBQ, and we will prepare them in the kitchen without cross-contamination.

Combine with other arrangements

A BBQ is often combined with other activities for a complete day or evening. A popular combination is a business meeting during the day followed by a BBQ, with the work part transitioning into relaxation on the terrace at 4 p.m. or 5 p.m. hen parties is a combination with a beach activity beforehand (paddleboarding, beach challenge, cocktail workshop) a good addition. For wedding receptions, a BBQ as the main meal often works better than a formal dinner, with more room for guests to mingle and move around. For Company parties On a large scale, we are linking the BBQ to further programme development with live music or a DJ.
