What people say

Foresters Arms is a must-visit pub, beer garden, and restaurant located on Newlands Avenue in Cape Town. This establishment offers an exceptional dining experience for all seasons. During warm and sunny days, you can relax at tables in their ivy-covered arbours or under the natural canopies of the huge oak trees that shade their garden area. On chilly Cape winters, you can nestle comfortably in the indoor restaurant, surrounded by the olde worlde charm of wood, leather and history while enjoying the warm glow of a fireplace.

One of the highlights of Foresters Arms is their Sunday Carvery. It's a winner with succulent joints of meat and fresh seasonal vegetables cooked to perfection. The little ones will have plenty to amuse themselves with at their delightful play area equipped with safety-approved swings, slides and jungle gyms while you enjoy your Sunday carvery.

Foresters Arms also has a wood-fired pizza oven with a selection of pizzas ranging from well-flavoured Margarita to more exotic combinations like smoked salmon and crรจme fraiche. They are fully licensed and boast a fine Whiskey bar with specialist Scottish & Irish whiskeys in addition to a large range of draught beers, fine wines and cocktails.

Sports fans will delight in Foresters Arms' proximity to the Newlands rugby and cricket grounds. It's an ideal venue to gather with friends for refreshments and a meal before and after a match or relax at Forries while enjoying live sports on TV screens throughout the establishment.

Overall, Foresters Arms is an excellent choice for anyone looking for great food, drinks, atmosphere, and service in Cape Town.
