Company outing with BBQ in Scheveningen

An activity and BBQ on the beach

A good package is more than two separate bookings that happen to fall on the same day. The meeting point, activity start time and beach club reservation must fit together. There must also be enough time after the activity to walk to the beach bar at leisure, have a drink and change clothes if needed.

That is why we consider the entire schedule when planning an activity and BBQ in Scheveningen. We recommend a beach venue near the activity and take group size, budget and the desired atmosphere into account. One group might want an informal table on the terrace, while another prefers a private space or a more extensive company party afterwards.

Activities that go well with a BBQ

Before the barbecue starts, the team can get active, creative or competitive. Here are four activities that combine well with a finish at a beach bar:

Expedition RobinZon

During Expedition RobinZon teams compete in various trials. Speed and agility help, but memory, insight and communication are just as important. This allows someone in every team to contribute. Afterwards, the shared BBQ is a lovely opportunity to revisit the tactics, mishaps and, of course, the winner.

Beach Games

The Beach Games on the beach consist of a selection of short activities, such as ski walking, tactical tug of war, the Walking A, a catapult challenge or a blind team game. We tailor the games to the group's composition. This package is well suited to teams that enjoy competition but do not want to play the same sport all afternoon.

Powerkiting

At powerkiting in Scheveningen you learn to harness the power of the wind. Instructors start with an explanation and let participants practise in small groups. Kites come in different sizes, allowing participants to start gently and seek more of a challenge if they wish. After around an hour and a half in the sea air, a drink and BBQ usually go down very well.

Sand sculptures

Not every team wants a sports tournament. The workshop building sand sculptures is about ideas, dividing tasks and teamwork. Teams create a design in the sand and can be judged on creativity, size and finish. This is an accessible alternative for a mixed group or a team that primarily wants a relaxing activity.

Which BBQ and beach pavilion suit your group?

Every beach club offers different packages. Atmosphere, location, menus, capacity and price levels vary. Some teams want a relaxed terrace barbecue, while other companies need a separate space, festive decorations or music options after dinner.

Our overview of beach bars in Scheveningen gives you an impression of the venues we work with. We advise which beach venue is practical for your chosen activity and matches your wishes. This avoids an unnecessarily long journey between the game and the BBQ.

Dietary preferences, allergies and options such as halal or vegetarian food can be accommodated. Submit these requirements and the final number of participants at least a week beforehand, giving the beach pavilion enough preparation time.

Also possible with lunch, drinks or dinner

A barbecue is not the best ending for every date or group. The same activities can also be combined with other catering options:

• Lunch and activity: start off relaxed at the table and then head onto the beach together, or reverse the order. Explore the possibilities for a lunch with an activity.
• Drinks afterwards: suitable for a shorter programme or if the team mainly wants an informal chat after the activity.
• Dinner by the sea: a suitable alternative to a BBQ when you prefer table service or want a more businesslike conclusion.
• Party evening: at suitable venues, dinner can be extended with music, a private space or a festive programme.

For drinks, you can usually choose a package, drink tokens or payment based on actual consumption. With consumption-based billing, a maximum amount can be agreed in advance. The most favourable option depends on the programme's duration and expected consumption.

Practical information

• Group size: the programme is tailored to the number of participants. Large groups can be divided across several teams and activities.
• Duration: usually allow an afternoon and evening for an activity, drinks and BBQ. Shorter or more extensive programmes are also possible.
• Location: Scheveningen is our home base. Depending on the activity and dining requirements, other beach locations are also possible.
• Clothing: wear clothes that let you move easily during the activity. By the sea, an extra layer or windproof jacket can be welcome.
• Bad weather: in unsuitable weather conditions, we discuss possible adjustments or an indoor alternative that suits the group.
• Quote: the price depends on group size, activity, beach bar, menu, drinks choice and any extras.

Frequently asked questions about a company outing with a BBQ

Which activities can we combine with a BBQ?

Expedition RobinZon, Beach Games, power kiting, beach volleyball and sand sculptures are among the activities that combine well with a BBQ. The best activity depends on your group size, desired pace and participants.

How long does an activity with BBQ last?

A standalone beach activity often lasts around an hour and a half. With a welcome, drinks and barbecue, the package usually covers an afternoon and evening. We can also create a shorter programme or a complete team day with lunch and two activities.

Can you accommodate allergies and dietary requirements?

Yes. Let us know about allergies, vegetarian preferences, halal and other important dietary requirements at least one week in advance. The beach bar can then adapt the menu and preparations accordingly.

Is the BBQ covered in bad weather?

That depends on the chosen beach bar and package. Many venues have a covered or indoor space. For the outdoor activity, we consider postponement, an adapted programme or a suitable alternative in bad weather.

Can we book just drinks or dinner instead of a BBQ?

Yes. The activity can also be combined with lunch, drinks or dinner. We recommend a dining format and beach bar that suit the time of day, atmosphere and budget.

What determines the price of the package?

The price is mainly determined by the number of participants, chosen activity, duration, BBQ menu, drinks choice, beach bar and any extras. With this information, we can prepare a clear, tailor-made quote.
