Kammerslusen is a hotel and restaurant at Bjerrumvej 30, beside the lock where leisure boats pass from the river Ribe Å into the Wadden Sea. It hosts seminars in four meeting rooms for up to 120 people, and weddings, receptions and parties for groups from 15 up to 150 guests. It stands in the Wadden Sea National Park, a few minutes from the centre of Ribe, with hotel rooms on site.
Seminars and company events
For meetings, courses and seminars, Kammerslusen has four bright and flexible meeting rooms. They can be arranged for small groups or for larger gatherings of up to 120 people. A standard day package covers freshly brewed coffee and tea, cold water and fruit without limit. Anything beyond that is arranged on request: a breakfast buffet, lunch or dinner can be composed for the group. Company parties are also named on the official party page, so the same team handles both working days and social evenings. Meeting bookings go by email or by telephone, with the extension for parties and other enquiries.
Weddings and receptions
The official site presents the party rooms for weddings, confirmations, round birthdays, receptions and memorial gatherings. Groups range from 15 up to 150 guests, and the room and the menu are adapted to the size of the party. The process has four steps: the room is reserved, a visit and planning meeting follows, about a month before the event the final number of guests is confirmed and the seating plan and menu are fixed, and on the day the staff handle table setting, decoration and service. Receptions can be standing or more formal.
Two party formats are described. The five-hour format has a sparkling welcome, a plated starter, a main course buffet, a dessert buffet, and coffee with sweets, for a minimum of 20 adults. The seven-hour format adds the option of dance and music and a night snack on request, also for a minimum of 20 adults. A plated three-course menu, called the Slusemenu, changes with the season.
Rooms and capacities
The site gives two capacity figures. The four meeting rooms hold up to 120 people. The party rooms are offered for 15 to 150 guests, and bus groups can also be received in rooms that hold up to 150. The site does not list the individual rooms by name or by surface, so ask for the floor plan of the room that suits your layout.
Accommodation
Hotel rooms are on site. The official page describes a suite with a balcony, a separate bedroom, a tea kitchen and a living room with a wood stove, a junior suite with a separate bedroom and a view of the lock, and rooms with a view that share two bathrooms in the corridor. Breakfast can be added at check-in. A separate cottage, the old lock keeper's house, can also be rented. The number of rooms is not stated, so confirm availability for your group size.
Catering
The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner. Lunch buffets include two or three kinds of fish, cold and warm dishes and salads, for a minimum of 15 adults. Menus are built around seasonal ingredients, and a tailored party menu can be agreed with the kitchen.
History and setting
The place takes its name from the Ribe lock chamber. Its history page traces the lock keeper's years back to the Second World War. The landscape is the flat Ribe marsh, between the national park and Ribe, which the site calls the oldest town in Denmark.
Getting there
The restaurant lies a few minutes from Ribe town centre. Guests often combine an event with a walk in the marsh or a trip into town.
