The Saxon Arms has to be the best stocked pub in Gansbaai, but more important it has a warm and welcoming ambiance, is a place to relax, enjoy the gentle art of conversation and laughter, listen to old music and meet new friends!

THE SAXON RESTAURANT: Our restaurant is becoming known for serving the best seafood dinners in the area! We also offer a wide selection of other menu choices including Karoo Lamb; great South African Beef and Game, Traditional Indian and Thai curries and a wide selection of local and international cuisine to suite most tastes.

When we have larger groups staying with us, we offer an excellent 4-course buffet dinner, starting with fresh salads, yummy pate's and country breads; Hot home-made soup (in winter); Freshly caught line fish of the day (it doesn't get fresher than this as it's collected daily from the harbour!); Main courses always have 2 or 3 delicious choices, including vegetarian dishes; the buffet ends with a buffet desert table all weight watchers, of course!

A popular evening on request, for large groups we can offer: Traditional Fish or Meat Braais (South African Barbeque) or a selection of Potjie Pot cooking (very traditional African style cooking).  These dinners are all cooked over an open fire, while you relax with a pre-dinner drink!

When the Lodge is quieter, our chef discusses each meal with guests and freshly prepares tailor made dishes to suite individual tastes!

Please note: Saxon Lodge is not a self-catering establishment
