Brodr. Berggren seafood-shop
The location of Brødrene Berggren is central – in the middle of the harbour in Sandefjord. A rich selection of fish and other seafood is offered here, with the main emphasis on the local short-traveled food; – what the fishermen at their three receptions have caught.
In the production, fillets are cut by hand so that the quality of the fish is maintained in the best possible way. Brødrene Berggren have their own smokehouse, where all the smoked fish you find in the shop is produced the old-fashioned way.
You can order food for an event, such as shellfish table, seafood table, herring table and other temptations. See the menu on Brødrene Berggren's website.
Brødrene Berggren's highest wish is to give all customers a good shopping experience, followed by a good dining experience!
The building also houses the restaurant Brygga 11, a well-renowned seafood-restaurant, owned by Geir Skeie – the winner of Bocuse d'Or 2009.

Nevlunghavn Gjestgiveri – Courses & Conferences
Host your next strategy session, leadership retreat or small conference at Nevlunghavn Gjestgiveri – a historic seaside “badehotell” in the charming fishing village of Nevlunghavn on the Skagerrak coast.
A Calm Coastal Venue for Focused Meetings
Since 1920, Nevlunghavn Gjestgiveri has welcomed guests looking for calm, fresh sea air and time to focus. Today, it’s a cosy, intimate venue ideal for smaller groups who value atmosphere and personal service.
The hotel has 15 beautifully decorated double rooms, all with a warm, classic feel. Slip into the soft bathrobe waiting in your room, bring your morning coffee for a short stroll down to the sea, and start the day with a refreshing dip before your meeting. It’s the kind of start that clears the head before the work begins.
Between sessions, participants can relax in the hotel’s historic lounges – in a wicker chair by the fireplace, with a slice of cake or a drink in hand – and let new ideas surface after inspiring discussions in the meeting room. Here, sea views and salty air are part of the agenda: strategic thinking really does feel clearer when you can look straight out towards the horizon.
Discover Coastal Experiences Just Steps From Your Meeting Room
To break up the meeting day, the hotel can help you arrange:
- Boat trips or pulling your own lobster pots and crab traps
- Cycling tours in the surrounding area
- A walk to Omrestranda for a sauna session and a dip in the sea
- A visit to Nerdrum Museum or the local vineyard Holtens
- A guided historical talk about the hotel and Nevlunghavn’s rich seaside heritage
You can also simply wander through idyllic Nevlunghavn, with its narrow lanes and well-kept wooden houses – a slow, authentic Norwegian coastal village experience.
Tailored Dining with True Coastal Ingredients
With the Skagerrak on the doorstep, the kitchen works with fresh, local ingredients delivered daily. At Nevlunghavn Brygge, the hotel’s own fish reception supplies prawns, langoustine, fish and lobster, and the rustic Bredalsbua on the quay can also be used as part of your event setting.
If your group has special wishes for menus or dining formats, the chef and team do their utmost to tailor the experience – from casual seafood evenings on the pier to more formal multi-course dinners.
Personal, Flexible and Truly Local
At Nevlunghavn Gjestgiveri, you don’t just book a meeting room – you get a small, dedicated team that follows your group from planning to departure. They are used to adapting to different group needs and cultures, and almost nothing is impossible:

Stavissimo
The restaurant is idyllically located right by the water. The kitchen serves Italian-inspired dishes such as antipasti, pasta, salad, seafood and meat.
Stavissimo is a trattoria, which means you don't have to eat a 3-course menu. It's perfectly fine to just stop by for a dish or share an appetizer and enjoy something cold in a glass.
Alpakkatur på Verdens Ende
The alpacas are all different, they have unique personalities and of course have their own names! You will get to hike in the beautiful nature with your own alpaca on a leash! This means that participants go on a guided tour with alpacas in real alpaca halter with a rental rope! The alpacas Sondre, Ivar and Aune are ready to take you on a trip! Alpacas are strongly attached to their flock, they do not like to be separated. Because of this, the stable always take their entire "little" flock on trips. Alpacas are curious and friendly animals, even in encounters with us humans. The participants will learn about the alpacas and the basics of handling them. Everyone can also take part in feeding the alpacas with their own special feed.
The tour takes about 1 hour. It can vary a little how long the alpacas spend on the trip, so you have to reckon that it can take a little longer or a little shorter time than scheduled. Stall Verdens Ende can adapt the trip to the participants' needs, for example by just walking on the paved road, or at a slow pace. Dress for the weather, as this takes place outdoors! The stable's reception will be open. Snacks and drinks are sold here, as well as simple food such as waffles and sausages.
Prices
Price for 1 alpaca NOK 395.
For each additional person NOK 230.
There must be at least 2 groups, each with their own alpaca on a trip, as the alpacas are herd animals and cannot go on a trip alone.
