About us
Owner Matthieu Petit
Making croquettes started as a joke that got out of hand. Floris, the maker and creator of most
croquettes and his brother Jasper are from a well-known catering family.
They have had several restaurants and have extensive experience. Their father was a well-known chef.
They devised and worked out the recipe for the croquettes together with their father. Father Van der
Zwan made the sauces and together they made the recipes for the croquettes.
When a number of different croquettes were made and the small-scale and manual
production process went well, Floris focused on production and brother Jasper on
sales via Het Kroket Loket. The first location started in 2016 in the Haagse
Papestraat, which later moved to the much busier location at Korte Poten 23a.
Matthieu Petit stepped in in 2018 and has been sole owner since 2020. Since
2020, there has been a branch in the Rotterdam Markthal and there is a real
croquette food truck.
In the Market Hall it is a coming and going of local residents, groups of
colleagues from surrounding offices and also many tourists from countries all over
the world. When they are in the Netherlands they want to try typical Dutch
food. And the croquette sandwich, together with the herring and the stroopwafel
belong in the top 3.
