"A group of us booked a few days earlier for the NFL. The staff were extremely accommodating with getting us set up in a prime spot, along with having the commentary playing as well. Overall a great experience, tasty food and plenty of beer." - James

REVIEWS
Hear what makes The Cav a Ponsonby favourite.
"We ordered the southern fried chicken dish, onion rings and BBQ chicken burger and honestly it was some of the best food we’ve ever had! Will definitely be coming back. The service was great and our food was delivered quickly."
Jesse
"Loved this place! Beautiful space, loved the big deck!! Staff were so attentive. Large enough for functions. Would go back again."
Missie
"Nice to stand in the sun on the verandah with some city views. great looking old pub, very sports orientated and good vibe. lots of indoor space, with friendly team."
Brooke
"One of my fav locals. A lot of screens, great beer selection, comfy sitting and great outdoor area. Guinness on tap is a bonus. Great vibe every UFC Sunday as well."
Dusan
"Business lunch. Great atmosphere, superb food and drinks. Will do again next meeting."
Rob
"Really enjoyed our afternoon Christmas function I was invited to. The service was great which I was not expecting as most pubs have crap service, in my experience. Food was amazing (sliders, chips, calamari) and we sold the place out of Veuve. Was very nice."
Adam
"So I booked the outside deck function area for my Mum’s birthday... It was a brilliant venue overlooking the city with all the amenities you could want for such an event. The food was great—the kitchen even baked whole salmon fillets as an extra request. All the guests were super impressed! Big thanks to Brittany and Stephen who were in constant contact prior to ensure all went to plan, and to Brittany and Emily who did an awesome job looking after us on the day. I can't recommend The Cav and the team enough! If you are planning a function it ticks all the boxes."
Andy
"Great spot for a lunch and pint. I had the cheeseburger and fries—loved it, very filling and tasty. A+."
Gary
"A group of us booked a few days earlier for the NFL. The staff were extremely accommodating with getting us set up in a prime spot, along with having the commentary playing as well. Overall a great experience, tasty food and plenty of beer."
James
"I visited the bar today for a team lunch. I ordered the habanero chicken burger and enjoyed some laughs and drinks with my colleagues. The bar has a great selection of house wines and beers, plenty of space for meetings, and they offer some exciting sports events to watch."
Sterling
"I would like to thank The Cav for providing such a great venue to celebrate my partner’s birthday. Everything was extremely well done with no problems or hassles on my part. I would definitely recommend The Cav for any function. Pricing of tasty platters was extremely good and of high quality."
