I decided to give The Cav a 2nd chance after visiting earlier in the year, and am pleased that I did. This time the food and service was a lot better than the previous time I visited (last time entree and main both brought out at the same time, and a few tables were having issues with orders being taken, getting water etc). Tonight even though busy, service was really good, no delays in orders, getting drinks etc. The pork belly bits starter was good - I would have again. The steak main was a bit closer to medium than medium rare as ordered, but was not bad, and still very eatable. The mash and onion rings were good. I probably would have had a desert, but the limited menu for desert did not have an item that appealed to me on this occasion.

My partner and I ordered fish chips, steak and arancini and gin, peach and rose gin is good, steak and fish are fine, arancini was good but salty, we like the onion rings as well.

I wanted to like this place, but everything was just okay. Service was very flat from the three staff that were there, didn't seem like they wanted to be there at all. Food was fine but nothing special. Batter on the prawns was way too thick so the inside was like eating glue. Polenta fries were quite wet tasting, not crispy like you would hope. Everything lacked seasoning. The building and aesthetic is the best part. Probably wouldn't come back in a hurry.

Went tonite for hubby's birthday. Awesome 5* service. Great food. Good portions (we couldn't finish it all!). Yummy cocktails ๐Ÿ˜‹
Can't fault it (apart from menu said ginger ice cream but we got vanilla. Feedback would be please let guests know if something has changed from the menu)

One of my favourite spots to stop in for a Friday lunch. Great pints on tap, lovely outdoor seating and fantastic chicken tacos ๐ŸŒฎ (soft shell). The staff is really lovely, they have nice bathrooms and play all the sports without bringing the lads-lads-lads sports bar vibes. It's clean and fresh feeling. The meals are a bit pricey but it's worth it for a treat. Big fan of the Zeffer cider on tap ๐Ÿป

Lovely food and great view. Staff is superb and their beer is ice cold here. How could I say no?

The food here was amazing! We had the prawns, chicken burger and a dessert. The seasoning on the mains and starters were really good and balanced! The chicken thigh in the burger was chrispy and juicy with just the right balance of flavours. Something that didn't suit my tastes were the sauces, in my opinion the sauces were a little sour. Overall the vibe was good and the views were nice!

Strolled over for lunch in my work break and ordered the double beef truffle burger... It was way above expectations. Also it was a good size and I kinda struggled to finish it... But glad I did... Actually enjoyed the whole experience and will defs be back there in the near future... Also, there's a lot of gluten-free options for those that need it which was cool to see... Everything washed down well with a brew. GGs

Wonderful experience. Staff is just excellent. Right from the security gentleman at the door who is so friendly and helpful to the waitresses at the bar and counter, they are just so lovely and welcoming. Even tho the place was packed the service was excellent and the food was exquisite. Try the chicken burger that was quite tasty. Will visit again for sure. On street Parking is available across the road so that's handy.

We took our Border Collie and other family dog Alfie to celebrate a birthday last night. Staff couldn't have been more accommodating giving us a great table where the dogs were happy but out of the way as it was pretty busy with a Blues vs Highlanders game on. They brought fresh water and dog treats over and made a fuss of our boys. Great service. Enjoyed the night.
5 star woofs of approval from the fur babies!!
