If you're looking to host a Christmas party that’s less about loud music and more about great conversation, good food, and genuine connection, Leven is Strijd offers something truly special.
During December, our beautifully restored Dutch barge becomes an intimate, atmospheric setting for festive dinners that feel personal and thoughtfully put together. With soft lighting, seasonal decor, and a warm, welcoming feel, it’s the perfect space for teams who want to slow down, celebrate the year, and enjoy each other’s company.
Available on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, Leven is ideal for relaxed Christmas gatherings, whether it’s your work party, entertaining clients, a large family gathering, a small team dinner, or a festive evening with colleagues and clients. Think candlelit tables, laughter over shared plates, and a space that encourages conversation, not karaoke.
We believe the best celebrations are the ones where everyone feels looked after, and nothing feels rushed. At Leven is Strijd, we create evenings that feel more like memorable dinner parties than traditional office dos, full of warmth, flavour, and a little festive magic.

Intimate Dining, celebrations & occasions
Outside of wedding season, from October through to April, Leven transforms into a unique space for intimate private dinners and celebrations.
Available on Fridays and Saturdays (October - April) and select Fridays throughout the summer season, our beautifully restored Dutch barge provides a one-of-a-kind setting for hosting meaningful events in style.
Whether you're celebrating a milestone birthday, a special anniversary, or gathering friends and family for an unforgettable Christmas party, Leven offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere that’s full of charm and character. Our candlelit dining space, set against the gentle backdrop of the river and winter skies, creates a sense of occasion without ever feeling formal.
Perfect, too, for small business dinners, team thank-yous or creative off-site gatherings, the barge is ideal for those seeking something more personal than a restaurant and more distinctive than a function room. With thoughtful interiors, soft lighting, and plenty of personality, your guests will feel instantly relaxed and truly looked after.
At Leven is Strijd, we believe every celebration deserves care and creativity, no matter the season. Let us help you host an occasion your guests will remember.
