Delishhh food. Spicy prawns are awesome! Thanks for the mouth watering food and service!!
Good food , peri peri chicken is really spicy. Service was good. Empty inside during a weekday. Steak lacked flavors but other dishes made up for this
The guys at the bar are really amazing
They make you feel welcome. Amazing history and just an amazing crowd. I love the fact that there are so many options to choose from beer wise I mean. I am four months pregnant and I still enjoy sitting at their no smoking area and enjoy a cold alcohol free beer or savanna zero
I addicted to the wings. Pretty much one of the few reasons I go back.
Absolutely brilliant pub. Best in cape town by far. Absolutley supurb food super friendly service and extremely well priced. Daytime venue for a lekker kuier !!!
There's nowhere better to watch a sporting event than this old place. The 2nd oldest restaurant in cape town and a menu that suits everyone, even the brave he you can handle the firemans pie 😲 the food is always outstanding and the service on point.
Staff was really friendly and helpful. I had the Fire Fighter pizza. Truly exceptional. One of the best pizzas I’ve had in the city: the salami was flavourful, the cheese really stringy, the jalapeños were spicy. All the flavours worked well together.
Great place to watch sport, always a good crowd when rugby is on. Service isn't too great when a game is on and the place is full which is the downside. Ps. Make sure you get there early for big games because it fills up quickly.
What a nice bar and restaurant. Eiabein to die for good crackling. Typical reacue bar with good food well priced. Will see us again on a visit or two
Absolutely love this gem! So much history is this awesome place. Food is out of this world, specially the pizza! The staff are always friendly and smiling!
Update: returned during lunch for a margherita pizza. Increasing my score by 1 whole point. It’s not bad at all. Tastes like a wood fired Dr Oetker pizza with triple cheese.
Review 1: Attended quiz night on Thursday with a group of my colleagues. Ordered the lamb and lentil soup. Was not a fan! I'm still looking for those lentils. Instead I was fishing out big pieces of thyme and cinnamon sticks. Others around the table ordered the pork fillet and mash, beef burger, pizza and the steak with egg and fries. According to my colleagues, the pizza was good - loaded with toppings on a crispy base. The burger was really nice (I'll have to order this next time) and it was huge!! The pork fillet was unfortunately dry and the steak fairly average.
I've had a lot of Sunday roasts, in a lot of countries, and this was by far the best I've ever had. There were no options, it's a mixed roast of beef, pork and chicken which suited me just fine.
Each meat has a different flavour, the Yorkshire pudding was delicious and just the right size - some places have massive yorkies to fill you up, and the veggies were top notch.
The pork crackling - OMG, the pork crackling!!!!
The other food we saw coming out looked equally delicious - especially the enormous square hamburgers
The staff (called waitrons in South Africa) were super efficient and friendly.
The restaurant was full when we went and I'm not surprised as it has a lot going for it.
My only criticism is that people were smoking in the 'outside' part of the restaurant which was basically part of the 'inside' section.
But don't let that put you off, it's still an amazing restaurant and well worth a visit - especially on a Sunday for the roast.
We went for Sunday lunch although nobody ended up having Sunday Roast, food is really good, portions are massive so go hungry. The mushy peas and mash are amazing and I will go back just for them!
Service is very good the waiter was friendly and service was fast. Love all screens with sport we defs want to go back to watch some rugby or F1. They serve good beer on tap and wine list is very good. Wine per glass is Leopards leap so not the best BUT also not the worst. All in all I would recommend Firemans. My husband is very keen to go back and try their pies as we saw a few coming past and they looked amazing.
Real English pub vibe going on!
Best Quiz nights in town. Great setting amazing staff members and delicious food.
Would definately recommend this place for People visiting cape town for the first time
This restaurant has great pizza menus. The environment for people who love watching sports.
We had a very pleasant experience. A classic pub atmosphere, perfect for watching sports and having a drink. The food was also quite good.
Watched the World Cup RUGBY Final here. Wow. What a crowd. The patience that the waiters and bar tenders had was just amazing, and they still managed to smile.
Visited the Fireman's Arms for the first time today. And what a surprisingly good experience this was. This is the first pub I have visited in South Africa that has given me a proper feel of a pub. We had the best waiter in the pub, Johnny, and he was very attentive and took good care of us. The food was excellent and much better than your average pub grub. I will definitely visit again next time I am in Cape Town.
Fireman's Arm exceeded all expectations with their absolutely incredible service. The ambiance creates an outstanding vibe, and the food is nothing short of amazing. I highly recommend trying their jalapeño poppers, as they are a true delight. The cocktails offered are simply to die for, adding an extra touch of perfection to the dining experience.
The waitstaff at Fireman's Arm are not only extremely friendly but also exceptionally kind. We had the pleasure of conversing with Johnny and Kevin, who were both incredibly helpful and kind-hearted. Their genuine warmth made our time at the restaurant truly memorable.
I wholeheartedly recommend Fireman's Arm to anyone seeking an exceptional dining experience. From the outstanding food and drinks to the remarkable service provided by the waitstaff, this establishment is a must-visit. Prepare to be impressed!
I attended an informal company lunch with around 30 people in the group and were exceptionally well looked after. I was a little late so I had not ordered with the group. The staff spotted this immediately and jumped on it. Often at places like this, it takes ages to get a beer but not here. All round excellent service. The food is good quality pub food. My burger was tasty and immense!
Really great atmosphere ans amazing vibe. Was packed even on a rainy Sunday afternoon, with everyone watching the first formula one race of the season
While there were a few vegan mains on offer, the pricing was not included on the many i ordered a plate of the side veg.
It tasted amazing though it barely filled the side plate it was served on. The mushy peas and the veg in the marinara sauce stole the show.
Service was ok considering how busy it was and wait staff could have been friendlier.
I ended up staying to watch Man United get destroyed by Liverpool, unfortunately. But enjoyed myself in the pub.
Will be back soon to try more of the amazing food.
