Self-working Cook National Military Museum

You will come to work at the National Military Museum in Soesterberg, an impressive location on the former Soesterberg airbase where history, technology, and experience come together. Visitors combine their museum visit here with a relaxing moment in the restaurant, where artisanal dishes and fresh products are central. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with a team that is always ready for each other and the guests.

The La Place restaurant is themed as a field kitchen, with natural materials, robust furniture, and a nod to the military past. Here, everything revolves around the experience: from the aroma of freshly prepared dishes to the view over the museum grounds. You will work together with a close-knit team in which colleagues from the kitchen and service support each other, and where everyone joyfully contributes to a welcoming experience for young and old.

You are available from Monday to Sunday and work between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM. We will coordinate the exact contents of your schedule based on the needs of the location and your availability.

As a self-working cook at the National Military Museum, Soesterberg, you will work in a unique environment where the guest experience is central.
