Piloersemaborg can be booked for private dinners, day meetings, receptions and weddings, for groups of 10 to about 80 people. It is a historic borg in the Groningen countryside, in Den Ham in the Westerkwartier, run as a restaurant with guest rooms and open to organisers who want the whole house for one event.
Seminars and company events
The borg offers day packages for business meetings. The meeting day includes room hire, coffee, tea, cake and a full lunch with homemade soup, home-baked bread, savory and sweet toppings, milk, buttermilk and fruit. A second formula replaces the lunch with a three-course dinner, with drinks charged separately. For groups of fewer than eight people a base fee applies, so the house is better suited to teams of eight and more.
A flip chart, and an overhead projector with a screen, can be added on request. The site does not list video conferencing or a plenary room with fixed equipment, so organisers with heavy technical needs should confirm what is available before they plan a program.
Company dinners work differently. The borg can be hired exclusively for a business dinner, which means no other guests in the house, for groups from 10 to about 80 people.
Weddings and receptions
Piloersemaborg is an official wedding location. A civil ceremony can take place on site and be combined with a reception, a dinner or both. The house also receives family dinners, company parties and other celebrations within the same range of 10 to about 80 guests.
Rooms and capacities
The official site gives one capacity range for the whole house: 10 to about 80 people for parties, weddings and private dinners. It does not publish a floor plan or a capacity per room, so a seating plan has to be agreed with the team once the date and format are known.
Accommodation
The borg has guest rooms described as styled and set in a historic environment. A night includes breakfast. The site does not state the number of rooms, so ask for the exact count if part of your group needs to stay overnight.
Catering
Food is a central part of the visit. The restaurant works with fixed menus that change over time, and guests can choose a four-course or a six-course dinner. The prices shown for these menus are all-inclusive, covering the aperitif, matching drinks and wines, table water and coffee or tea. The site also has a section on wine and another on the kitchen's approach and suppliers.
History and setting
The house is a borg, a fortified manor typical of the north of the Netherlands, and the site presents its history and character on a dedicated page. It sits in the Groningen landscape, which gives meetings and dinners a calm setting away from a city office.
Getting there
The address is Piloersemaborg, 9833 TA Den Ham, in the Westerkwartier municipality, Groningen province. The official site does not describe train or parking arrangements, so check access with the team when you plan transport for a group.
