About Brasserie de Afslag
Brasserie de Afslag in Zwolle: hospitality on the grounds of Golfclub Zwolle
Brasserie de Afslag is located at Zalnéweg 75 in Zwolle. The venue is situated on the grounds of Golfclub Zwolle, in the Marsweteringlanden area. Address details place Zalnéweg 75 in the Herfte neighborhood, within District 41 Marsweteringlanden. This places the establishment on the eastern side of Zwolle, between the golf course and the area around the Wijthmenerplas.
The official description of Brasserie de Afslag positions the business as a broad hospitality venue. The location is used for coffee, lunch, drinks, dinner, meetings, and events. According to the establishment’s own explanation, the name refers to two things. On one hand, it refers to the ‘afslag’ (turn-off or exit) in golf. On the other hand, the name refers to the exit toward the Wijthmenerplas from the N35 highway.
Origins and Organization
Publicly documented founders are not named in the consulted information. It is described, however, that a previous Zwolle hospitality entrepreneur ceased operations at the golf club’s hospitality venue at the end of 2018. After that, a group of entrepreneurs started a new private limited company. The goal was to reshape the hospitality function at Golfclub Zwolle.
In a 2024 publication, Jelle Paauw and Mabel Dusink are mentioned in relation to daily operations. Paauw is identified there as the director. Dusink is named as the hospitality manager. An exact public opening date for Brasserie de Afslag is not recorded in the available information.
Coffee and hot beverages
For coffee drinkers, the public drink menu primarily offers a view of the fixed selection. The menu lists café crème, cappuccino, decaf, espresso, double espresso, latte macchiato, koffie verkeerd, and flat white. In addition, tea, fresh mint tea, fresh ginger tea, and hot chocolate are on the menu.
The meeting packages show a different context for coffee consumption. Several packages mention unlimited coffee, tea, and cappuccino from the machine. This points to a practical setup for gatherings, where speed and availability play a role.
Caution is needed regarding the coffee beans. The provided information mentions Mocca d’Or as a possible roaster, but public sources do not confirm a direct supply relationship between Brasserie de Afslag and Mocca d’Or. Mocca d’Or is, however, publicly known as a Zwolle coffee roaster at Curieweg 25 in Marslanden. Mocca d’Or is also mentioned as a participant in the Zwolle Herring Party of 2026 at Golfclub Zwolle.
Specific brewing methods beyond standard machine preparation are not publicly documented. No public information was found regarding pour-over, batch brew, Aeropress, cold brew, or similar methods. As a result, the coffee profile of Brasserie de Afslag can only be described based on the listed menu items and meeting packages.
Meetings, hospitality, and business gatherings
Beyond its regular hospitality services, Brasserie de Afslag also functions as a meeting and event venue. Official information highlights a multifunctional room accommodating up to 50 people, as well as a boardroom for up to 10. The packages combine meetings with breakfast, lunch, a reception, or dinner.
The meeting page also lists possible add-ons, including snacks, fruit, drinks, or a golf clinic. A 2024 publication describes the combination of Golfclub Zwolle and Brasserie de Afslag as a venue for business gatherings, presentations, corporate parties, lunches, and golf-related activities. At that time, the Business Club of Golfclub Zwolle counted approximately 130 member companies.
Events and local context
The venue also appears in coverage of local events. In 2026, the Zwolse Haringparty took place on the grounds of Golfclub Zwolle, with Brasserie de Afslag mentioned as a partner. The event was linked to local charities.
The brasserie also played a role in club activities around the 2025 New Year’s Eve. Brasserie de Afslag and Golfclub Zwolle organized a Top 2000 Café between Christmas and New Year. This included a Super Sunday program, a Top 2000 Pub quiz, and a game afternoon on the driving range.
