Bob, eftelinguk, merchandise, pancakes, Polle 's keuken

There’s been a few pieces of Efteling news over the last few weeks so I’ve put them all together here.  Since I’m a little late to the party, you may already know about some of these, but here we go!

Probably the biggest news is that Efteling has said goodbye to Bob this past weekend.  The ride had been open for 34 years, but it was finally time to bid it a fond farewell, with demolition beginning the day after closure. Check out Eftelwesley’s video below to see the demolition of the lifthill:

 

And on the subject of change, Polle’s Keuken will be expanding, with some of the outdoor terrace becoming part of the main restaurant, meaning that there will be more indoor seating, great for the colder/wetter days.  This means 50 extra seats inside, and the new section will be themed around Symbolica’s old magic fairy, Aliciana.

From Efteling.com:

‘In her spice greenhouse she grows and dries the herbs used in the royal kitchen. Herbs can be seen everywhere: clumps of herbs hanging on the ceiling to dry, pots of dried herbs and naturally fragrant, fresh herbs. Aliciana’s herbarium, a book with dried Symbolic herbs, is located on a table in the center of the room.’

Speaking of pancakes, the new seasonal pancake at Polle’s is a cheeseburger pancake! (minced meat, cheddar cheese, iceberg lettuce, pickle, red onion, ketchup and mustard.) Just what we wanted! Or was it…?

 

 

Anyway, there is also a Cinnamon pancake available (warm apple slices, raisins, nougatine, dark chocolate and a glass of mocha mousse) if the cheeseburger one isn’t up your street.

Both pancakes are €13.

Moving onto merchandise (hooray!) there are a couple of very very nice tins available at Efteldingen and Marskramer for €15 each. One has the little writing gnome on the front, and the other has Hansel and Gretel.  The Hansel and Gretel one comes with 16 bon bons, and the writing gnome tin comes with 50 postcards of Anton Pieck artwork.  There’s definitely a reason to buy both, but the postcards are particularly attractive.

Also now available are more Efteling miniatures, also at the Marskramer store. Statues such as Pagode, the House of the Five Senses, and Steam Train Aagje have been released this month, so you can add them to your mini Efteling at home-if you have one!

Pancakes and Dive Coasters

baron 1898, dive coaster, eftelinguk, pancake stack, pancakes, polle's keuken, world record

Well only one dive coaster actually, but a lot of pancakes!  This week, Polle’s Keuken attempted to beat the world record for pancake stacking.  With a lot of pancakes and some Efteling magic, the two bakers, Humphrey and John managed to beat the record with a stack of 242 pancakes(!) reaching 91.2cm high.  That is a lot of pancakes to try and keep upright, and they had to remain in the stack for 5 seconds to break the record.  There’s even some English in this video for those who don’t speak Dutch!

On the subject of the new dive coaster which we’ll see open next year in the park, it now has a name!  It’s a little bit of a mouthful maybe but…ahem…

Baron 1898.

Baron 1898

Tada!  It doesn’t completely roll off the tongue, however we imagine it will end up getting called ‘Baron‘ for short.  The theming looks great, but we don’t expect anything less from Efteling, a real theme park!

Ice-Cold Treats in Efteling

Although the weather is very changeable, both the U.K and the Netherlands have so far had a little bit of sunshine!  Of course, when the weather is hot, what better way to cool down than with an ice-cream or an icy drink?

In Efteling, there is no shortage of these things!

Just the other day, Efteling posted a photo of their new Chocomel Frappe cart, where you can purchase…well, a frappé!  As is standard in Efteling, the cart is beautiful, and we’re sure the frappés are too!  We are left wishing for a Fristi cart of the same nature now 😉

Can someone send us one over?

Can someone send us one over?

Back on July 31st (we’re a bit late to the party on this one) a Magnum pop-up shop appeared in the park, where you can create your own Magnum.Magnum  We’ll spare you the photos of the ice creams because they’re too delicious-looking, but the store is there until August 10th, so make sure to pop in and create your own Magnum.  You get a choice of all kinds of toppings and sauces; it’s pretty magical 🙂

 

A pot of happiness!

A pot of happiness!

Also, don’t forget the happiness stations!  There are two in the park, one at Polle’s Keuken and one at het Witte Paard.  You can create your own little pot of happiness here, with ingredients such as a range of different fruits and sweet treats, all swirled together with Wall’s ice cream.  Yummy!

Of course, there are many more cool snacks available at Efteling!

At den Suykerbuyk you can grab yourself an oubliehoorn, which is absolutely delicious!  There is a wide range of ice cream to choose from, and lots of choice of different fruits to go inside your over-sized ice cream cone.SAM_0157And how about popping into Polle’s Keuken for a cold treat?  It’s not all pancakes pancakes pancakes in there!  Oh no.  They have ice cream too!  Perfect if the heat is getting too much and you need some well-earned air-conditioning.  It’s only polite to buy some ice cream whilst in there…

ijs1We could probably carry on talking about the many wonderful cold treats you can find in Efteling, but I’m sure those few are enough for any Efteling visitor to handle in one go 😉  Bon appétit!

The Day We Found the Golden Toilet…

02 Wednesday Oct 2013

Last year, it was pointed out to us by one of our followers that Efteling had a golden toilet.  A. Golden. Toilet.  Why had we never come across this before?  And where could we find it?  Well, the answer is: behind Polle’s Keuken.

So many times we have been rushing past that pancake restaurant to get to wherever it is we’re going, and we’ve not really paid much attention to the fact that there are toilets behind the building.  If we ever did visit Polle’s, we’d be using the rest rooms inside the building.  Naturally of course, on our last visit, we had to pay a visit specifically to see this golden toilet!  The things we do for research!Golden Toilet

Upon entering, it is very easy to spot the Royal Toilet cubicle, as it has a golden heart on the door.  On the inside of the door, a message reads:

‘Royal Toilet, to honour our King, we kindly request that you use the toilet in a royal way.’

Take that message how you will!  There is a Golden Toilet in both the male and female toilets.

Has anybody else visited this golden throne?

Brothers Grimm Statue Unveiled+ 200,000th Pancake is Made at Polle’s Keuken!

Today was the day!  A statue to commemorate the brothers Grimm was unveiled by Little Red Riding Hood in Efteling.  We believe it to be situated near the other statues, next to the Chinese Nightingale building.  Last December marked 200 years of Grimm fairy tales, and with 15 of the 28 fairy tales in the forest at Efteling being Grimm stories, it is of course a perfect choice to have the statue there!  The photo comes from Efteling’s Facebook page, but we hope to see some better photos popping up in the near future.

In other news, pancakes!  If you come here often, you will know how much we love to talk about pancakes, and today is one of those days.  Apparently yesterday marked the birth of the 200,000th pancake at Polle’s Keuken.  Now, that does seem to be an awful lot of pancakes, but don’t shoot the messenger; n fact, that works out to almost 548 pancakes a day…Looks like we aren’t the only ones who love a good pancake after all!  Thinking about visiting Polle’s Keuken?  Take a look at the menu below, just give it a click!

Today Was Pancake Day…

…at least in the U.K it was.  We learned last year that the Dutch have a similar celebration at a different time, but of course any day is a great day to make pancakes!  We cracked out our Polle’s Keuken pancake mix that we bought back in August last year; it comes complete with a chef’s hat and a wooden spoon!

As much as we wish that we could share the lovely taste of the pancakes with you, we can’t, but we suggest that everyone should buy the mix if they get the chance to!  You can buy it at the entrance shop, or at Polle’s Keuken.

Laaf Lastpost volunteered to model the chef’s hat, but declined any involvement in the making of the pancakes.
