Food Scene
A local legend, Forrester's Arms is a great spot to unwind with a beer or a glass of wine and a pizza. The beer garden is great on warm days, but it's also great in the winter time, when blazing fires and a cosy pub atmosphere prevail.
Forries, as it is locally known, is one of the oldest pubs in SA. If you don't feel like eating, it's still great to hang out at the bar or beer garden and enjoy a few drinks. Open until 12.
