Nestled at the foot of our majestic mountains, in the leafy suburb of Newlands, Cape Town, Foresters Arms Restaurant and Pub (fondly referred to by the locals as Forries), is one of the oldest pubs in South Africa and provides the perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Its welcoming ambiance provides guests with the opportunity to sit down, relax and enjoy a fine draught beer accompanied by a delicious meal selected from our varied gastro-pub menu.

    Enjoyed the get together with ex employees from Newlands Brewery in the traditional Forries, which during my working years was like my second home. Wishing Lorraine and her team all the best and please continue with managing an excellent venue. PS: unfortunately we did not eat and hence no rating.

    Lovely food, ambience, particularly enjoyed being next to the fire and having a little furry 'companion' cuddled right up next to me ... thank you
