In September 2024, the municipality of Eindhoven searched for a suitable entrepreneur to provide various types of visitors at the swimming pool with tasty food and drinks and to create a cozy meeting place.
A total of eleven operators responded to the municipalitys call. From this, Clubhouse Sporthoreca & Events, led by Milo and Timo van Lint, was selected. These Eindhoven entrepreneurs currently manage the catering at the Indoor Sports Center Eindhoven and at Fontys Sports & Movement.
Councilor Maes van Lanschot (Sports): Clubhouse was chosen because of their extensive experience in the combination of sports and catering. They have gained the necessary experience working with associations and their volunteers at the Indoor Sports Center. They also know how to organize great events there.
Clubhouse will operate according to the counter concept, where customers order and pick up their food and drinks directly at a counter. This is a fast and efficient way to serve meals, with chefs preparing dishes fresh.
The new operators will start in early 2026 when the entire new construction is expected to be completed. Milo and Timo van Lint from Clubhouse: We are extremely happy and proud to have gained the trust of the municipality of Eindhoven to become the new catering partner of the renewed Tongelreep. We look forward to working together with the municipality, associations, BrabantSport, and the KNZB. And of course, to warmly welcome all the visitors to the pool.
Name still unknown…
The new catering at the Tongelreep does not yet have a name. The entrepreneurs and the municipality want to involve the residents of Eindhoven soon in coming up with a suitable name.
Catering Facilities Tongelreep
The Tongelreep will soon have various catering facilities for different guests. The entrance will feature a catering space of approximately 300m2 with a partially covered outdoor terrace on the north and west side with about 20 tables.

Clubhouse will also manage the rental and catering of the two meeting rooms in the swimming pool. All catering spaces will be fully gas-free.
