La Cocotte

What La Cocotte does

La Cocotte is a privately held, family-owned hospitality business headquartered at Nieuwe Langeweg 21 in Hoogvliet (Rotterdam), Netherlands, operated by the Bergwerff family across the third and fourth generations. The company runs a multi-format horeca operation built around five revenue streams: an à la carte Brasserie restaurant (open weekdays and Saturday evenings), a Take Away counter with an online webshop, on-premise event hosting in the glass-enclosed De Kas venue plus the restaurant, terrace, and party halls, off-premise Catering & Events capable of serving up to 6,000 guests, and three meeting/conference rooms (Gaderingzaal up to 80 persons, Wilhelm Tellzaal up to 60 persons, and Cloesezaal up to 12 persons) with optional catering. Menu pricing ranges from €2.90 take-away snacks to €37.50 brasserie mains, with themed event pricing (e.g., the Spanish Evening) at €55 per person.

The business relies on traditional hospitality operations with no proprietary technology platform; the underlying "stack" consists of a WordPress-based website (lacocotte.nl) with a webshop module, standard reservation and ordering workflows, and a multi-channel contact setup (separate email addresses and phone lines for brasserie, take-away, events, meetings, and management). Marketing is executed through organic social channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn) and direct customer contact, with no digital-first or PLG motion apparent. The company positions itself on its 80-year family heritage and on the uniqueness of De Kas as a year-round outdoor-feel glass venue.

La Cocotte serves a regionally diversified customer mix in the Rotterdam-Rijnmond area, spanning corporate clients (business meetings, receptions, seminars, company parties), individual diners and families, private event hosts (weddings, celebrations), and take-away retail customers. Revenue is generated transactionally across all five streams with no subscription, membership, or licensing model. The company is actively hiring across seven open roles and continues to refresh its take-away menu and event programming in 2026, with no external investors, parent company, or public listing in evidence.
