Ever fancied working in an extraordinary location in the Netherlands?
Vessel 11 is a multifaceted business on board an old British lightship permanently docked in the heart of buzzing Rotterdam. Our concept is a charming British gastro pub, live music and events venue with a relaxed, youthful living room atmosphere.
In addition to the daily restaurant and bar, we programme live music on a weekly basis and organise many public events; from vintage markets to festivals. Vessel 11 also hosts a wide range of private events; from birthday parties to business dinners and weddings. We also have the luxurious and extremely quirky “Hottug”, (a hot tub that is a boat) which we rent out throughout the year.
The ship is large, with 3 separate rooms inside and a further two large terraces outside on the deck plus a third on the land beside the boat. Overall we have a capacity of 180 covers. The ship is flexible and often has a number of different events running at the same time as the restaurant.
Our restaurant à la carte menu is seasonal and changes several times a year. For the private events, we have a snack/canapé selection and a walking dinner menu comprising of 5 bowl-sized courses. During the summer season, we also have a barbeque menu available for groups. As far as possible we use local & sustainably produced products.
