The summer of 2016… a summer to remember, we’d say, as Smokey Jo’s spread a bouquet of color and delicious aromas all over City Brewery De Koninck’s yard. And by all means, you can take that last part quite literally. Call it a demented food garage, or think of an American road movie full of crazy-eyed hillbillies, throw a banjo in there and some bourbon on the side and you might get a slightly better idea of our smokey ol’ Summer. The large fire pit did over-time while the best pieces of high-grade meat where barbecued. With an ice-cold craft beer in hand… Well, you probably already know where to find us in the summer of 2017!

For the second and last time we set up Summer Josephine’s at the Stadsbrouwerij De Koninck’s storage depot. Given that our 2014 event had attracted so much attention, we felt confident that we could transform the park into a magical place yet again. Visitors could try all sorts of foods and drinks, while enjoying the music and pretty much unique atmosphere in the middle of the bustling city centre. Once again our bar & restaurant at the sunlit courtyard proved to be a great success. Sitting in the shade of a tree visitors enjoyed a refreshing beer and summer cocktail or sank their teeth into some of the finest tapas from around the world.

Notwithstanding 2014’s great success, we had changed some practical details. This year, for instance, we set up a central trailer where people could buy drink vouchers and order food. During busy periods we opened the Bottle Bar, which allowed us to serve customers more quickly. Indeed, the creative team had a lot of fun addressing all kinds of important details, such as the kids play area, the inner space of the hangar, and the Monkey Business Bar – which really was something special!

A lot of fun activities were scheduled, alongside some great music, DJ’s and so much more.

A good glass of beer and some tasty tapas. Or just a tad more perhaps? Glorious dining, specialty thirst quenchers, sultry music and a unique atmosphere in the urban park: that was Summer Josephine’s. This restaurant-and-bar combo was rebuilt on the storage facilities of City Brewery De Koninck in 2014 and 2015. With graffiti, street art and an impressive construction of recycled pallets, the place became a true eyecatcher. The novelty, child-friendly setting with non-technological toys made it an absolute must for families with children too. We had two magical summers down at Josephine’s.

During two days at the Venuez Bar Show in 2013 a vintage burger room was designed by PureSang. More than 1200 gourmet burgers were served amazingly fast by our team in an absolutely gorgeous setting.

For the Venuez Bar Show in 2012 a genuine picnic spot was furnished, providing healthy sandwiches and soup. For two days, the fluorescent table was the most-visited spot at the Bar Show to sit at for meetings, snacks or even as a real flexible working corner. Design by Not Before Ten.

During two days at the Venuez Bar Show in 2012 the ‘vintage chic fine dining’ restaurant Lucille was furnished by Not Before Ten. An ideal little place to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of the trade show.

A cosy drink with friends, a warm wintery meal or even a Swiss fondue: Stübe, a pop-up hospitality concept at the Waagnatie, is a genuine Antwerp hotspot during 8 weeks in the winter of 2011-2012! This wintery variant is a design by Kurt Herygers of Not Before Ten!

Stuart Catering is brought to life in 2008, as a reaction to the often-heard customer question to recreate the look and feel of our restaurants and bars on location.
