Pont Neuf travels all over the Netherlands with one vehicle, the Pont Neuf Mobile, from 1980. This special vehicle previously belonged to a farmer in Groningen, who used it as a livestock transporter for over 16 years. He drove it to elementary schools to show the children of the village his sheep and donkeys.
The story behind the name Pont Neuf:
The Pont Neuf is a bridge over the famous Seine in Paris and is also the oldest bridge in the city. At 238 meters, it is the fourth longest bridge in the French capital. The Pont Neuf was built between 1578 and 1607 to a design by Jean Bapiste Androuet du Cereau.
What does this bridge have to do with our french fries? Pretty much! Shortly before the French Revolution in the 18th century, street vendors sold their so-called "Pommes de Terre frites" on the oldest bridge in Paris. So this bridge is the basis for a world-famous dish. Coincidentally or not, our first Pont Neuf eatery is located on Amsterdam's IJ Lake, where the Amsterdam Bridge also docks.
Tipsters say of the Pont Neuf fries: "Nice golden colour, with Belgian mayonnaise for the purists". "Homemade, fantastically fried in clean oil".
Pont Neuf says: "My brother and I always say to our employees: You are as good as your last fries sold. That's how we keep our quality high. So we're more of a chip shop than a takeaway. So we fry our own cut fries from organic Agria potatoes in good, vegetable oil. This is reflected: We often hear that people take the ferry especially for our fries. That's why I always say: regular customers say something about your quality, new customers something about your growth."
