"Right next door to the Hotel is the "Laird's Arms" pub. Initially, this building was used as a carpenter's shop by two Scottish carpenters who had been brought out by Logan from Scotland to do all the carpentry in the Village.Later, it became a butcher's shop. Then, during World War II, it was turned into a recreation room for Royal Navy sailors on leave from Simon's Town. After the War, it served as the Village Hall.The hospitable barman, Abraham, tell these tales while tourists and visitors enjoy country pub lunches and snacks, which are served all day. The pub is full of the warmth and gaiety of a Victorian country pub. Personal and hospitable service is offered by the friendly waitresses in conventional attire, whom are also residence of the village.
The massive mirrored bar and counter, 1902 cash register and Pierre Nola piano give a very authentic impression - made all the more surprising by its location. The Laird's Arms is open from 10 am. till late"
