Cavens Arms

Excellent find for a pub meal in dumfries. really friendly and chatty staff who couldn't do enough for you. walked in with no booking on a sunday and they happily accommodated us. sat in a lovely, heated extension with tvs in at the back of the building. would choose to sit out there again. food was very reasonably priced, and came in huge, high quality portions. would definitely recommend anything on the menu with their haggis or any of the burgers. best thing was they did chippy chips! will definitely be back.

After my most recent visit i have just upped the review to 5 star. great to see a place that has been in the same hands for years striving to improve further. have never had a bad meal here but the latest experience was so much better than before homemade chips and a proper flamegrilled burger. very reasonably priced drinks means that the final bill was a lot less than expected which was an added bonus. a variety on the menu meant all were catered for.

Best pub 🍻 in dumfries for real ale. 8 different ales on when we visited, 4 of which where scottish. food is none too shabby either. lowland chicken was absolutely beautiful, quite large servings (chips like chippy chips). mars bar cheese cake was so delicious we went back another day for more. friendly manager, friendly staff. well worth a visit if you're in the area.

Stopped for lunch on a sunday while visiting dumfries. friendly staff who looked after us. the food was amazing with really decent portion size and reasonably priced. drinks were good as well with a good selection of draught ales, again reasonably priced. highly recommended and we are looking forward to returning.

What a lovely pub this is. hubby and i are staying 3 nights in dumfries and were recommended to eat here. so glad we did. the food was delicious and portion sizes huge. we both felt terrible because we couldn't finish it all. 🙈 the staff were polite and very efficient. would definitely recommend. thank you to all the staff.🤩👍
