Embark on a culinary journey and enjoy a delectable meal at the Forester Restaurant. From the hard wood floors to soft jazz music playing in the background, the Forester resembles a prestigious old English restaurant with impeccable style and class. The breakfast, lunch and dinner menu is populated with a range of delicacies and hearty dishes, from Krummelpap to Lamb Rump. If one is merely looking for a casual encounter and remarkable view, you are more than welcome to order and enjoy the luxury of our gardens.

We kindly request that you do not bring your own wine, as we do not offer corkage services.

Date Night

Time to book the babysitter! As the days get shorter and the nights get longer and colder, the Hawthorn Team will be stoking the fireplace to welcome you back for a romantic dinner for 2. For only R580 per couple, you will be treated with a starter to share, a main course and dessert each. We will also offer you a complimentary bottle of wine!
