Skoemagerkroen Danmarks ældste kgl. privilegerede post- og diligencekro Holbæk

It was a bit of a coincidence that sometime in the autumn we ended up booking a table at Skoemagerkroen to eat our annual pub Christmas lunch there. And we were also somewhat excited about what would actually meet us. 😊 But from the first second it was just a good impression of the place, the staff, the food, the atmosphere - which was confirmed again and again throughout the entire visit. We had ordered the place's Christmas table, which is served in several rounds at the table, and EVERYTHING was really nicely arranged, well-flavored, balanced, super delicious and fresh, clearly made from scratch. Especially the liver pâté with the place's home-smoked bacon, the also home-smoked pork fillet with collard greens and then the rice salamander with the heavenly port wine-flavored cherry sauce was absolutely in a class of its own! 😍 But please note: EVERYTHING was incredibly delicious! 😊 When we add to that the fact that we only met wonderful, calm, warm and welcoming service and that the inn rooms were idyllically and tastefully decorated with fireplaces, decorated Christmas trees, inviting golden light and a great many acoustic records (we could easily carry on a conversation in a normal tone despite a full house ❤️), we can't land anything other than top marks. The price was also touching: Per per cover, the Christmas table cost DKK 450 - and there was plenty of good food 🤤 Drinks came on top of course.

Hilda shut up, how good is the food you get here. Christmas lunch with everything and everything is homemade. It just doesn't get much better anywhere ❤️ PS The rice salamander was just a tad better than any I've ever tasted❤️ my wife who hates rice salamander ate 2 portions so deeeeet

Skomagerkroen is an inn that exudes charm and rural idyll. Even though we were sitting in their conservatory, it was clear that attention had been paid to the details. The many candles and a dark, elegant atmosphere made it both warm and inviting. The food was a pleasure, and this is otherwise said by someone who does not normally flock to smørrebrød. The quality of the ingredients really shone through, and you could tell that soul had been put into the kitchen. The service was friendly. The price was also quite reasonable in relation to the quality - it is rare that you feel that you get so much for your money at an inn of this standard. All in all, the Skomagerkroen is worth a visit, both for the food, the surroundings and the cozy atmosphere. It may not be right in the center of town, but that's exactly what makes you sit back and really enjoy the peace and the good food.

Hyggelige omgivelser, imponerende vinkælder, ud i naturen oplevelse at bo i hytte med udsigt til Mark og skov, skuffende 3-retters menu (man kan ikke servere 3-retters kromad, der fylder så lidt! Gik sulten i seng!).

Fantastic Mortens evening .. Delicious menu put together by Chef Kasper Larsen, smiling service and very cozy place with good history.

Was only on a short visit. Would check out their function rooms for an upcoming event. Were nice. But unfortunately it is expensive to spend the night at the neighboring cabins as a guest.

Not handicap friendly, won't be coming again

This place never disappoints. Good food, good service and idyllic surroundings.

Very delicate and tasty food that simply delights the palate. It is quite ingenious to make glass in the floor with a view (downward view) to the wine cellar. I could cheer myself up in that, together with our friends 😀. Beautiful premises and an enthusiastic chef 👍

Genbesøgte Skoemagerkroen til deres Tapas Torsdag, 6 mindre retter, i 2 serveringer. God comfort food, desværre uden det helt store i grøntsager, her i starten sæsongen. Små skønhedsfejl, som bør rettes, og ALT for lang ventetid. 117 kr for postevand, 155 for en dessert, og 65 kr for en hyldeblomstdrik. Det noget over rimelige priser for det leverede.
