Reservation Form 101: Choosing Between Lunch, Dinner or ‘Overig’
If you have ever opened a reservation form and paused at a simple question like Lunch, Dinner or ‘Overig’, you are not alone. Choosing the right option matters because it helps your visit start smoothly, sets the right expectations, and makes it easier to match your plans with the right arrival time. In this guide to Reservation Form 101, you will learn what each reservation category means, when to use it, how to select your preferred time, and what to keep in mind before submitting your booking.
At De Heeren van Montfoort B.V., the online reservation form is designed to make planning straightforward. You can indicate whether you are reserving for Diner, Lunch or Overig, choose a date, select an arrival time, note dietary wishes or special exceptions, and complete your contact details. This article walks you through each step so you can reserve with confidence.
What does the reservation form ask you to choose?
The form asks one key question early in the process: what are you reserving for? The available categories are:
- Diner
- Lunch
- Overig
This choice helps define the purpose of your visit. It is a practical part of the booking process and helps align your reservation with the right moment of the day.
Quick answer: which option should you pick?
Choose:
- Lunch if you want to visit during lunch service
- Diner if you want to come for an evening meal
- Overig if your visit does not fit clearly under lunch or dinner
That is the short version. Below, you will find a more detailed explanation of each option.
When to choose Lunch
Select Lunch when you plan to visit for the midday service. Lunch is available from Tuesday through Sunday, from 12:00 to 16:00. On the reservation form, you can indicate the moment you would like to arrive.
This option is the best fit if you are:
- Meeting someone for a midday meal
- Planning a relaxed lunch in Montfoort
- Looking for a daytime restaurant reservation within the lunch hours
Lunch arrival times
The online reservation form includes several arrival times, starting at 12:00 and continuing in half-hour intervals. For lunch guests, the relevant time window sits within the lunch period.
Available arrival times on the form include:
- 12:00
- 12:30
- 13:00
- 13:30
- 14:00
- 14:30
- 15:00
- 15:30
- 16:00
Because lunch runs until 16:00, choosing Lunch is the clearest way to match your reservation to that service.
When to choose Diner
Select Diner when you want to book for an evening visit. The reservation form offers arrival times that continue well beyond the lunch window, making it easy to choose a suitable start time for dinner.
This option is suitable if you are:
- Planning an evening meal
- Booking a table later in the day
- Reserving for a dining experience after the lunch period
Dinner arrival times
Dinner reservations can be aligned with the later time options listed on the form, including:
- 17:00
- 17:30
- 18:00
- 18:30
- 19:00
- 19:30
- 20:00
- 20:30
If your intended visit is clearly an evening restaurant booking, Diner is the most appropriate choice.
When to choose Overig
The category Overig is the flexible option on the reservation form. It is there for visits that do not fit neatly into standard lunch or dinner selection.
In practice, Overig is useful when the purpose of your visit is different from a straightforward midday or evening meal. Because the reservation form allows guests to choose this category directly, it creates room for more specific plans.
Why ‘Overig’ matters
Not every visit follows a standard pattern. Sometimes, guests need a category that signals: this booking has a different context. That is exactly where Overig becomes helpful.
If your plans involve something outside the usual lunch or dinner framing, choosing Overig can make your intent clearer from the start.
How to choose the right arrival time
Once you have selected Lunch, Diner, or Overig, the next step is your desired arrival time. The form offers the following options:
| Available arrival times |
|---|
| 12:00 |
| 12:30 |
| 13:00 |
| 13:30 |
| 14:00 |
| 14:30 |
| 15:00 |
| 15:30 |
| 16:00 |
| 17:00 |
| 17:30 |
| 18:00 |
| 18:30 |
| 19:00 |
| 19:30 |
| 20:00 |
| 20:30 |
Practical rule of thumb
Use this simple approach:
- Start with the purpose of your visit — lunch, dinner, or something else.
- Match that purpose to the most logical time window.
- Choose the arrival time that best fits your plans.
For example:
- A midday meal pairs naturally with Lunch and an arrival time between 12:00 and 16:00.
- An evening meal pairs naturally with Diner and a later arrival time such as 18:00 or 19:30.
- A visit that does not fit either standard service may be better placed under Overig, with the most suitable available arrival time selected on the form.
Same-day reservations: what you should know
One of the most important details on the reservation form is the same-day online booking cut-off.
Direct answer
Online reservations for the same day are possible until 17:00.
If you want to reserve later on the same day, that is still possible by phone.
Contact for later same-day reservations
For same-day reservations after 17:00, you can call:
- 0348 47 12 29
This is especially useful if your plans change late in the day and you still want to arrange a visit.
Opening pattern to keep in mind
Before submitting your reservation, it is also important to remember one key planning point:

That means lunch service runs Tuesday through Sunday, and reservations should be planned accordingly. If you are checking availability for the start of the week, this detail can save you time immediately.
Party size and special requests
The reservation form is not only about choosing Lunch, Diner, or Overig. It also helps you shape the practical details of your visit.

Practical tips for choosing between Lunch, Dinner or ‘Overig’
To make Reservation Form 101 even more useful, here are a few practical tips you can apply right away.
Tip 1: Let the time of day guide your choice
If you are arriving in the middle of the day, Lunch is usually the strongest match. If you are booking later in the day for a meal, Diner is typically the right option.
Tip 2: Use ‘Overig’ when your visit has a different purpose
If your reservation does not clearly belong to standard lunch or dinner service, Overig gives you a category that reflects that difference.
Tip 3: Add useful notes the first time
Use the field for dietary wishes or special exceptions carefully. Clear notes can help avoid follow-up questions and make your reservation more complete.
Tip 4: Do not wait too long for same-day online booking
Remember the 17:00 cut-off for same-day online reservations. If you are booking later than that, call 0348 47 12 29 instead.
Tip 5: Check related planning information
If you are arranging more than a restaurant visit, it can also be helpful to explore related topics such as meetings, private dining, weddings, celebrations, catering, or general visit planning. These topics can help if your plans extend beyond a standard reservation.
