Beautiful play area, close enough for parents to relax while the kiddies enjoy. We had breakfast to die for today. It was lovely. The kids even have their own toilet situated right next to thw play area. We often come for lunch but this was our first breakfast and it was surprisingly quiet and serene. We highly recommend.

Sometimes you come across a place by surprise.
In this case the surprise happened to be an institution.
Reminded me of the old days, and I'm sure the locals will say it's not the same anymore, but in the bigger scheme if things, it's still good to have a new benchmark for others to be judged by.
Oh, and after 50 years of eating pizza, this is best I've had. Thanks guys.

Foresters Arm was an instant hit. Everyone loved the vibe... especially under the grapevines where gossip ran hot! And what, pray tell, was the tea being spilled? "This shot can't possibly be the right size", "Now that's what I call shrink-flation", and "This Jagger is definitely not 35ml!" was heard both murmured and exclaimed! Could it be? Shocking! Scandalous! We just had to investigate! ...
Alas, upon repeated inquiry, the answer from the barkeep and waitron was a stock-standard, non-committal, "It is a shot."
But that did not satisfy our too-sober-after-two-shots curiosity! And so we kidnapped one tiny plastic goblet and applied to it the rigorous scientific method. (I.e. we measured it in the kitchen!)
The definitive and exact result of our investigation is that a Forries shot is on the dot 20ml, (17ml allowing for 3ml of spillage by the time it reaches your table). And that makes R50 a helluva lot of money for a helluva little liquid.

The truth now revealed, only one question remains... will I go back?
Of course I will. We had an absolute blast.

Decided to watch the football here, I wish I could watch every game in a venue such as this. The food, the atmosphere, the fresh beer. I'll be back every chance I get ????

Really great experience.
It's so busy once you arrive and seems to much for the waiters but they are very well managed, friendly and informative. They use iPads for orders and drinks so all food and drinks get done quicker and at a very efficient pase.
Smoking area is separate from the main restaurant area. Food was incredible. Tasty, not oily, fresh and made the way you ask it to be.
There is a wide selection of wine, cocktails, softdrinks, juices and hard liquor. Even mocktails if you don't want alcohol. Food menu is broad and vegan, vegetarian options are available.
The ribs were top notch and the fish had us all lining up for it.
A big restaurant with every person in heart.
Nice !
