Bække Kro hosts receptions, brunches, family parties and business lunches for groups from 10 to about 200 guests. The inn stands in Bække, in Vejen Municipality in southern Jutland, and holds a royal privilege dating from 1668. It has a large hall with a stage, a smaller hall with its own entrance, a restaurant room and two small rooms.
Seminars and company events
The inn takes requests for buffets, brunches, lunch parties and business meetings. There is no fixed package for meetings: the owners ask you to call, talk through the aims and numbers of the day, and they then calculate an offer for the whole event. This suits an office manager who wants a working lunch, a staff reception or a small team gathering without a standard formula.
The brunch is a practical format for a morning event. It starts between 8:00 and 10:00 for the classic version and between 8:00 and 11:00 for the extended version, and it needs at least 15 guests. Drinks are served for about two and a half hours, and the room stays available for up to four hours. After the brunch, a lunch buffet can be arranged and costed individually.
Weddings and receptions
The official site presents receptions, open house days, student parties, confirmations and memorial gatherings. For a reception or open house, the hall and the other rooms together hold about 200 guests. Reception food is sold as small dishes in tapas style, with a minimum order of 20 guests, and cakes in small portions with a minimum of 50 pieces, ordered at least four days ahead. Weddings are not named on the pages we read, so ask the inn directly.
Rooms and capacities
The large hall seats up to about 200 guests at long tables. It can be set in E, U or herringbone layouts, or with round tables of about 10 guests each. It has a stage for musicians, and a curtain can divide it into two rooms. The small hall takes 30 to 60 guests and has its own entrance. The restaurant room seats 10 to 40 at long tables by the windows. The small parlor holds up to 10, often used for the buffet, and the pub room, Krostuen, holds 10 to 15. Table settings are arranged to the client's wishes. You can visit by appointment or on an open house day.
Catering
The kitchen cooks everything from scratch and uses local ingredients where possible. Set menus include a three-course classic menu, a three-course menu with a fish starter and slow-roasted beef, and a four-course seasonal menu. The inn also sells food for delivery, so a party elsewhere in the area can use the same kitchen. Special wishes are handled by phone.
