If you’re not at the festival hub but still fancy a bite to eat, Terschelling has plenty of delicious offerings from passionate chefs and caterers, so there’s guaranteed to be something for you. These chefs and their teams go all out for ten days to provide you with the best (local) treats. Whether you’re in West, Midsland, or Oost and whether you looking for a fancy pumpkin risotto or a just a nice cold beer, Terschelling’s hospitality is ready for you. Below you’ll find an overview of all the hospitality options on Terschelling, outside the festival hub.

Tip: Due to the hustle and bustle around Oerol, it may take a little longer to be served. You may also have to wait longer for your order than you’re used to. So, plan ample time for a meal or drink before any booked performance. This prevents unnecessary rushing, both for the staff and for yourself.

Please note: During the Oerol Festival, you are a guest on the beautiful island of Terschelling. Keep in mind that the local hospitality industry faces a significant challenge due to the influx of more than 50,000 festival-goers each year. Therefore, always show respect for those who prepare, serve, and/or deliver your food and drinks. Remember that snapping your fingers, shouting, or any other disrespectful behaviour will not be tolerated. Let’s make it an unforgettable celebration together!
