3rd time to come and eat here today!! Their FOOD never fails to amaze me each time!! Love the presentation. Love the taste. So succulent - you can taste all the ingredients and flavours. And the serving is huge. Or maybe I just get full so easily. Lol. All their main courses are yummy, tried most of them already coz it's my 3rd time now. Even their salads are delish! And their desserts are heavenly!! I love the ambience and the vibe too. Though it's always packed with people everytime I come over, nevertheless overall service is still satisfying. It's hard to catch a waitress when the place is packed, so I recommend to get a seating near the counter. Food takes a while to be served as there are so many people, but the waiting is always worth it 'coz it's just so scrumptious. Shout out to Chef Fadden!! Food is A-mazing!! Two thumbs up for the seasonal menus too! Oh and they also have menu selections specifically for kids so bring your kids. The Cav is for everyone. The waitresses are sweet, bubbly, and always smiling, just don't grab a table too far or they'll forget you.
Had a great day with the awesome food n service provided. I do recommend to try the best in town for healthy food lover “The Naked Britto”. Wo wo Wo wo........
Recommended by a friend, great food and nice ambience. The outdoor tables gives you a lovely view of the sky city tower.
The tuna salad bowl was fresh and nicely flavored. Prawn was cooked just right. The deconstructed chocolate cheese cake was very yummy and innovative. Great for what you pay for.
Apparently their menu changes quite often, so definitely will come again.

Food was good, ambiance great, music great and service good too. Maybe a bit expensive. We payed above $90 for dumplings with a side salad and chicken with chips.
Yummy food, friendly staff, fun atmosphere and great music, banger of a playlist 👌🏼
Easy to get to, however not much parking... good place for a casual drink or a nice dinner and quiz nights are always a fun time
We ordered the naked burrito and the pork belly. Food was fantastic. Fresh ingredients, well executed and a cool,modern spin on classics. Good service and big choice of gluten free options available. Will be back!
Fantastic service, vibrant environment. Delicious menu especially the salads. Recommend the pork belly. Good music, good location but parking isn’t ideal. Great spot to catch up with friends.
The Cav, formerly known as The Cavalier Hotel, and before that The Suffolk Hotel is an Auckland institution dating back to the 1860s. Ponsonby has seen many changes but the Cav has always been around to offer locals good food and drinks.
Came to The Cav for a birthday lunch. Atmosphere is great, the outdoor area looking over the city was perfect for the summers day. Food was ok, great little kids box and had an ice cream machine inside. Cocktails were delicious though.
Had a great meal here. We were greeted by one of the wait staff with a warm welcome and seated straight away.It took quite a while to order as the selection of meals was in our opinion was really good but made it hard to chose. Finally settled on the venison pie, fried chicken waffles and naked burrito. the pie was really good as was the naked burrito, however the consesus was that the fried chicken waffles was the star of the show! To give yo a bit more info its crispy fried chicken on sweet corn waffles with fresh herbs dill & mint finished with a spicy maple syrup and a jalepeno cream fraiche everything about this dish was sublime and a definite must try if you go there. To summarise, the staff were very friendly, service was promt and attentive, a cool looking bar and food well worth the visit.
This place is well located, good parking and a good drinks selection.
The chicken burger was the bartenders recommendation and it didn't disappoint. Wasn't keen for the lettuce cups, they were too much hard work but they were fresh and if I hadn't had to build them myself idv most likely enjoyed them more - if I'm eating pub food it's because I'm feeling lazy.
Ambience was nice - service was pleasant. Didn't have a wow factor but was a nice place to hang out.
Great local pub to watch sport and grab a feed and a brew. Nice view over the city as well whilst enjoying the outdoor deck. Definitely recommended.
Highly recommend.
A great pub 1/2 way up College Hill (which I’ve never noticed before 😳)
Great atmosphere and recently redecorated.
I had pint of Emmerson’s Haze and Dazed with their Fish & Chips for lunch.
A great meal, everything tasted great! I will be back.
Very nice place, delicious food and drinks, great people!
One of my favourite spots to stop in for a Friday lunch. Great pints on tap, lovely outdoor seating and fantastic chicken tacos 🌮 (soft shell). The staff is really lovely, they have nice bathrooms and play all the sports without bringing the lads-lads-lads sports bar vibes. It’s clean and fresh feeling. The meals are a bit pricey but it’s worth it for a treat. Big fan of the Zeffer cider on tap 🍻
Top lunch tucker, and plenty of it, for our bi-annual work reunion at The Cav.
The staff are always friendly and take our photos for us... frankly nothing ever seems to be a hassle for them. See you mid May 2024 <3
We went here to watch the league and had a nice night. The food was pretty good, position was amazing.
Superb pub. Gets busy at peak times (after work and weekends) but worth a booking if you need to. Staff are super friendly and professional. The food coming out of the kitchen is standard pub fare, but it's considered and high quality. For example, their polenta on the sharing platter is quite possibly the best polenta I've had in years. Take time to go here, a good time is guaranteed.
I decided to give The Cav a 2nd chance after visiting earlier in the year, and am pleased that I did. This time the food and service was a lot better than the previous time I visited (last time entree and main both brought out at the same time, and a few tables were having issues with orders being taken, getting water etc). Tonight even though busy, service was really good, no delays in orders, getting drinks etc. The pork belly bits starter was good - I would have again. The steak main was a bit closer to medium than medium rare as ordered, but was not bad, and still very eatable. The mash and onion rings were good. I probably would have had a desert, but the limited menu for desert did not have an item that appealed to me on this occasion.
Great food, tastes high quality and very flavorful. Service is very good, waiters are quite attentive and friendly. Nothing to complain about here, they also have a good selection of beers.
My partner and I ordered fish chips, steak and arancini and gin, peach and rose gin is good, steak and fish are fine, arancini was good but salty, we like the onion rings as well.
Excellent Auckland pub. Lots of room and different spaces with Guinness and Mac’s Good on tap.
