| This is (still) an excellent pub, well liked by CAMRA. Visiting at 8pm on a Wednesday, most people were eating and, indeed, one is invited to wait on entry to be seated. But the beer (we tried Phoenix: Arizona and Palmerston: Queen of the South) was well kept and the food good (if not very interesting). drtimthornton - 29 Aug 2008 14:48 |

| The Cavens has gone from strength to strength since I posted the first of these reviews. The kitchen is producing pub food of the highest quality, and in large portions, using top class ingredients. The selection of ales has increased (so has the price, £2.15) and they are invariably in perfect condition. Professional management, strong but quiet, ensures that staff are efficient and enthusiastic, and they are mostly friendly and cheerful, too. And you can suggest ales, and they will be stocked if possible. I originally rated this 7/10. If I were doing so today it would score 9. joegreen - 21 Nov 2006 13:19 |
| One of the friendliest, best run pubs I've ever come accross. Staff A1, 99.5% customes ditto. As I used to meet the majority of my friends, or should that be fiends?, there, it is the one place I miss having moved from the area. Food was way above average for a pub/ restaurant, ale was always in good condition. The bar staff were ALL well trained in how to recognize a "bad pint" i.e., coming to the end of a barrel. The lines were never allowed to be left between brews. Aleslurper - 13 Sep 2006 14:27 |
