Cavens Arms

“Really good food,reasonably priced food and drink,friendly atmosphere”

Frederick Gunning★★★★★

Cavens Arms, boy oh boy, one of the classics. Welcomed with open arms into one of the cosiest pubs I've been in. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, having a yarn and a chat while providing local recommendations of things to do and also the best things on the menu. The food was insanely delicious, I wouldn't steer away from their recommendations, these guys know what they are talking about. You can see why they've won numerous 'Pub of the Year' awards! I would highly recommend!

Lovely pub inside, great looking, well stocked bar. Visited with 2 dogs and were made very welcome. Other dogs were already in and caused no issues. Supplied dogs with water bowls too. The food was nice, and chip shop style chips were especially tasty. Staff were very attentive, helpful, and pleasant. Well done, team. Overall, it was a good experience and would recommend for a spot of food in a lovely environment in Dumfries.

This place is exactly what you're looking for if you're looking for a cozy, friendly Scottish pub. The beer and liquor flow freely as does the conversation and the delicious food. They had a lot of good looking things on the menu including the chicken criffel which is a classic Scottish dish of chicken strips (just chicken cut into stripes not that god awful frozen stuff) w a creamy herby thyme sauce and veggies. They had a specials menu too and plenty of beers to choose from. For larger groups I would plan ahead as its not a terribly large place and was quite popular. Oh and they stop serving
