Teuven rises out of the most north-western part of the old Dutch Limburg.
In 1288 this region came into the possession of the dukes of Brabant who
later passed it onto the dukes of Burgundy. It then came under the rule of
the king of Spain and finally into the hands of the Austrian Habsburgs
who gained power of the region during the French Revolution. The present
Teuven is formed from three old residential areas: Nurop in the northwest,
Teuven in the middle and Sinnich in the southeast. Nurop is an old
farmer’s settlement, Teuven a residential area around the church and
castle, Sinnich the living quarters around an abbey.
Herberg Moeder de Gans ~ Mother Goose Inn
Herberg Moeder de Gans is positioned at the old village square of
Teuven, in view of the neo-gothic Saint Peters church, the old town hall built in the 18th century and the old schoolhouse
protected by century old trees. Moeder de Gans has been established in a
traditional farm from the 18th century. The living house is the oldest
part of this farm complex, dating back to 1740. The old open hearth dates
from the beginning of the 18th century. Of the many sheds and stalls,
built in a variety of styles, the inn stands out most impressively. This
stall was built at the end of the 19th century as a horse stable. In the
interior, you’ll find frequent use of bluestone, including the original
horses drinking trough carved out of one solid piece of stone, which now
stands by the bar. A large open hearth in the inn has been built on an
authentic millstone, originating from an old grain mill from the area.
A glass conservatory has been built around the original well. We have
recently renovated this sunroom in the old style of cobwork. You can
now stand above the well on a thick glass plate, looking down 8 mtrs to
the grond water. We have hand built an oak table around the well...
accentuating this feature. In the courtyard
you’ll find the ‘watchdog’ kennel built into the old cow stable, and the
original standing shack and drop toilet. Immediately behind the
restaurant is a natural spring flowing year long with fresh drinking
water, of course the central spot the town was founded on. We also have
our own natural spring in the bottom field of our farmland. Perhaps the
biggest attraction is the source flowing through our magnificent copper
bar taps, offering 12 Belgium beers from the barrel. Further more, you can
choose from more than 100 sorts of bottled beers, each presented with its
own glass. The restaurant
offers regional specialties and works with many local biological products.Moeder de Gans is both cosy in the winter time
and relaxed during the warmer months, on the various sunny and secluded
terraces or enjoying a quiet moment on our 3 hectare nature area.
We are proud to welcome you to this special region,
and hope that you enjoy your visit.
Proudly
we present to you our "drùpke" ~ sloe gin, which has been ripened in oak
barrels. When we purchased the premises in 1993, Mrs. Houben, the previous
resident, brought our attention to various bottles of homemade
sloe gin that she had laying in the cellar. Local folk
used to prepare a batch each year, by topping up a 1/3 drunk bottle of gin
with the sloe plum, stopping it with cork and leaving it to age for one year before drinking.
Sloes are the fruit of blackthorn and are actually a
type of wild plum.
The blackthorn is found in small quantities in this region at the edge of the
woods
and amongst the street hedges lining the streets.
It blossoms very
early in the year with delicate white flowers, which attracts scores of
insects to the first spring food. In the autumn, the bush bears round,
blue and extremely sour (sleeuwe) plums, the "sjlieëkreek". In the local
dialect they also use the expression "sjlieë täng" to describe the fruit:
the feeling on the teeth that you get after eating such foods as a sour
apple, rhubarb..... or sour plums. The sloe plum is picked after the first frost has
taken place. This mellows the taste of the fresh plum. The sourness is no
longer present once the liqueur has been made. Our sloe gin
("sleedoornjenever") is in fact rather sweet, has a delicious dark red
colour and an alcohol percentage of around 30%. After following the
traditional recipe from the region, and allowing the sloe gin to mature
for a period in our own oak barrel, which you will find right of the main
entrance in our Inn, the results are extremely soft and full flavoured,
suitable as an aperitif or digestive. We are proud to serve you this
authentic homemade product following traditional methods.
All of the dishes that we offer are homemade and
consist mostly of traditional products from farmers and merchants from
the region. During the preparation of our meals, we make use of a special
vacuum technique. This technique stabilizes and maximizes the quality of
products preserving the special aroma, taste, composition and nutritional
value. This means that the natural tastes of the products are not lost and
therefore allows us to limit or completely leave out the addition of taste
intensifiers (salt included) and unnatural additives. By vacuuming the
product to 99% in special packing and creating under pressure, the boil
point is dramatically lowered when cooking. The biggest advantage of this
is that we may reach the end result of food preparation through lower
temperatures than in traditional cooking processes. Everybody is aware
that forced temperatures in preparation methods needlessly damage the
product, leaving little of the original nutritional value as a consequence.
From the moment that our products come in, till the moment of serving, we
follow this vacuum technique, eliminating contact with the open air and
therefore guaranteeing maximum hygiene. The hygiene standards that we
follow conform to the European HACCP system.

Dear beer lover,
Such a large selection of beers demands from us a special kind of
attention.
Each beer is served in its own
particular glass. Just as
one glass must be polished dry, the other should be served wet. Our
Trappist beers stand in a separate fridge, so as to be served at a
particular temperature, whereas other special beers must be
collected from the cellar. Please keep in mind that this means
it may take us a little longer to serve you your order.

Wood-oven sourdough bread
The bread that we serve you comes from a traditional baker. The flour, consisting of ecological bread grain types, has
been ground by a water powered grain mill. The wood oven
bread dough rises with only natural additives, as the baker uses
exclusively sourdough in his process. As the dough is left to rise for a
few hours, the baker preheats the completely conventional oven with beech
branches. Previously the dough was kneaded with the feet (!!!), these days
the baker does this with a dough machine, being the only mechanical
process he
now applies to the production of the wood oven bread. Considering this
authentic manner of bread preparation, we are proud to serve you this unique product.
