Cavens Arms - Dumfries
Cavens is a busy town centre pub with a reputation built on the quality of its ales, its great pub grub and its customer service. The pub has just had a major renovation and extension which has added over 60% to its seating capacity. This has provided a new dedicated restaurant area, an extended bar area, new kitchens and toilets.
FREE WIFI
The new facilities have placed Cavens firmly at the top of the pub trade in the South of Scotland.
The pub has a lively bunch of regular customers who enjoy occasional ‘themed’ nights such as on Valentines Day and Halloween. It is a firm favourite with football fans before and after games at the nearby Palmerston Park - home to Queen of the South FC.
It is renowned for serving up a superb range of
great-value meals between 11.30am and 9.00pm
each day except Monday (Sun from 12.30pm).
It’s said to have the best fish & chips in the town.
