De Hoefslag is a member of Les Patrons Cuisiniers.^[2]

Present head chef is Karl van Baggem.^[3] Earlier head chefs include Andrès Delpeut (2007),^[4][5] Marc van Gulick (2006-2007),^[6][7] Niels van Halen (2002-2006),^[6][8] André van Doorn (1985-2001, co-head chef, head chef, director-chef),^[9] Wulf Engel (1981-1985, co-head chef) and Gerard Fagel (about 1975-1989)^[10]

Before the brothers Fagel founded the present restaurant, the building had already a history as public place. Originally named "Huize Bosch en Duin", it was a stopping point for coaches and a garden restaurant. In 1920 the name was changed into "Huize De Hoefslag".^[11]

De Hoefslag was once exploited by the brothers Fagel. Martin Fagel took care of the commercial side, while Gerard Fagel took care of the kitchen. Gerard was murdered 9 June 1989, during a burglary in his apartment above the restaurant.^[12] After the murder Martin sold the restaurant and left for France.^[13]

During renovations in 2007, De Hoefslag renewed the kitchen for around €600,000. This included a new Molteni stove weighing 1500 kilos.^[4]
