Very very slow service which is a shame cause the food is lovely. Was also very draughty, so had to wear my coat most of the night

Went here with my colleagues for tea back in December 2021. The food was beautiful and tasty and the service from the staff went above and beyond. Affordable prices that wont break the bank. Will definitely return and would definitely recommend. Cant wait to go back again :)

It was freezing cold I had to eat with my coat on. I did not get another cold drink as did not want to get worse. The cheesecake was also still part frozen. The staff did try to help but it did not stop the draft round your legs, it was only warm if you stood up.

Excellent meal. We had a family meal there and it was reasonably priced for such good food. Relaxed place for families or couples.
4 people...2 rounds of drinks, 4 x 2 course meals, 65. Definitely go again.

We had a reservation on Saturday 13th November for 27 of us for my Hen party meal. The meal was lovely, no delays or wrong orders considering how many there was of us and the staff were so good! I would certainly recommend La Cava and will be coming again - just the two of us next time for a quieter night :)
Thank you for a fantastic night!
