FishFestival
The brand-new FishFestival at Van der Valk hotel Sassenheim - Leiden is the ultimate food event for the fish lover! In cooperation with fish and filleting specialist Arie Kuijt, we provide an evening-long programme with various demos and beautiful fish dishes. Alongside Arie, SVH-Meesterkok and Executive Chef of Nest restaurant, Rogér Rassin, as well as OZZO Oriental Restobar's Japanese Sushimaster chef, Takashi Nakanowatari, will also stimulate your senses during this spectacular evening.
Please note: the specials (Fish Festival, Game Buffet, and Indian Buffet) are not suitable for children. Therefore, there is no children's menu and/or children's entertainment in the children's corner during these evenings. We warmly welcome our youngest guests during the Saturday evening buffets, Sunday brunches, and/or holidays in the Live Cooking buffet restaurant!
