Reviews of The Cavendish Arms
A. S.A lovely, quirky pub to have a drink with friends at. Great selection of drinks and good beer on tap, plus friendly staff. The live music is fun and the whole place has a really authentic vibe.
V. S. (. V. S.What a breath of fresh air! We were given such a warm welcome by the staff at the venue. The decor and the atmosphere is that of playful decadence, and the promoter actually seemed to care about putting on a line-up of quality bands that actually complemented each other. Quite possibly my favourite pub, anywhere.
G. l. S.What a brilliant night great venue brilliant staff so warm and welcoming and some great comedy I highly recommend this place it's worth a visit just to look around at the fabulous interior ❤️❤️❤️
N. S.All the stars go to the open mic night they have on. Used to go to it every week. Such great talent on that stage. If you’re after a good laugh - you have to check out the stand up night.
J. J. M.A very unusual public house ( pub).
Very welcoming. I'm from North London and it's very rare to find such a welcome.
The Staff are extremely friendly and helpful.
The atmosphere makes a weary traveller comfortable. The decor is certainly very quirky and refreshing.
I drink Cider, so can only comment on cider. Which was delicious, crisp and sweet.
The weather was miserable, damp and wet.
On a warmer night it would have been nice to sit outside. All in all great pub. Definitely will go back.
A. H.Amazing place! It looks like your quirky nan's house that got cozied and dolled up with split personality. The cocktails were amazing in taste, punch, and presentation. The comedy bar, by far was the best! Loads of talent and laughter going on. Such an entertaining night! I'll definitely come back. ♥️
t.Really ace little pub, friendly staff, big outdoor area and very different on the inside than you'd expect! Good beer selection too, can't fault it :)
W. S.What a place! As a comedian, the Cav came highly recommended to me by a number of people.
The decor inside is unique and a cracking place to have a drink, particularly on a dark winter's night. Also, their open mic night is one of the best on the circuit; they do a competition, the crowd is fantastic and always up for hearing new material.
I'd 100% recommend the Cav for comedy, trying new material or even just a nice drink!
N. D.Nice place food and service was good .Went to watch comedy a few years ago with a mate .Funny comedy acts went on stage 🤣. Enjoyed my night out
S. G.My band performed there last weekend and we had an amazing time. The staff was super friendly and helpful and the sound system was one of the best we had experienced. Thanks Cavendish Arms team, we look forward working with you again in the near future. Cheers!
B. S.We went here to see a friends gig & had a good time :) The place has cool unique decor which works well, and good vibes. Unfortunately the gig room was pretty much the temperature and humidity of a sauna, and after asking a number of staff managed to get the answer that they lost the air conditioner controller, and they would look for it and turn it on. No such thing happened, and by the end of the night the whole room, audience and performers were so sweaty & unpleasant - not the optimum environment for performing artists & your dear paying punters! :(
A. P.I usually attend the comedy night. Great fun, good selection of beers and looks like they have redecorated since lock down. I'd back come for sure.
M. P.Beautiful place, very friendly staff. Food delicious. I recommend to everyone. I definitely gonna go back !! Maria.
g. m.Seriously, I love this place! As someone who is trying to find their way in comedy, this is such a supportive and very cool space to strut. Dave, the host and compare has true passion in creating this platform and sizzles the crowd so everything is properly warmed up for the comics. There is love in this place. Besides that, its just a damn cool venue to hang out. You'll definitely have a good time.
O. M.Great pub with really ready food. Entertainment is fantastic, open stand up comedy night was brilliant, with real talent. Would highly recommend this as a locals night out, out even an escape from the city of London, 2 stops from Waterloo 👍🏻😉
J. F.Great gigs in the back room and a resident cat. What more could you want! Oh yeah beer, they have a few of those too
T.This quirky little spot is great to have a pint and catch up with friends or catch a show. Great atmosphere and friendly staff
A. P.Great venue for beginner comedians. I’ve been here a few times now and love the friendly attitudes of the bar staff and patrons.
Highly recommend.
R. M.The Cavendish Arms is a wonderful Pub, especially for those who are a fan of stand up comedy. You will thoroughly enjoy your visit here and the food is delicious and drinks are refreshing after laughing so much! The staff are friendly and service is outstanding. I would highly recommend anyone visiting.
W. N.Amazing decoration
I love dogs
m. B.Quirky, queer friendly pub with friendly staff. Saw a good show and had a lovely time
A. A.Amazing dogtails! Staff very friendly. We will come back soon!
C. O.Accidentally stumbled across this. Never knew such a place existed in Stockwell. Love it. Super friendly. The toilet artwork is inspired. The free comedy night was also super fun. Can't recommend this place enough
T. W.If you’re looking for the unexpected, this place is it! Enter the quaint local pub to find you’ve walked into your grandmother’s living room...if it had a Miami style bar with theatrical red curtains and British memorabilia all over that is. Really fun place to sit for a cocktail or beer and take in the atmosphere, or stay for one of their brilliant comedy gigs. My partner and I love a weekend pop in to meet friends.
The staff are also super friendly and they’re great with social distancing processes.
S. R.My dearest son performed his first stand up comedy show here and won the award.
He was given a very warm welcome and had great memories of the Cavendish Arms🙏💕
b. a.A wonderful, friendly pub, quirky, beautiful decor, a most unusual experience, well worth a visit
E. B.Free comedy night. Absolute gem, free entry and great atmosphere inside. New acts and others trying new material; wel worth a punt. Friendly staff inside. Also serves cheap pizzas
D. B.Nice venue for live music and comedy. Wonderful friendly staff.
J. G.Great little live music venue with friendly staff. Main bar has great decor and the large outside area is a great bonus.
J. D.Great pub offering great live entertainment and affordable grub. Definitely worth checking out
S. P.Amazing pub with good beers and interesting decoration. I am not a big fan of how is the beer garden now. But well. Covid restrictions. Thanks!
s. c.Excellent al fresco drinking adaptations - felt like being in a normal pub! However, the pizzas were a bit on the meagre side and they'd run out of some of the ingredients!
D. S.Nice little music venue. Lighting is awful as a photographer. Photos were taken with phone. Nice to see somewhere like this supporting grass roots music still
L. G.was fab fabulous little un- usual place food nice and so friendly
A. C.Great Pub. Fully satisfied. Thanks.
M. K.My partner and I we visited the place on Wednesday evening to celebrate my birthday, for the comedy night and we didn’t really know what to expect. But it did turned out it is a very special place. I really liked how the place was decorated.
The hostess Twix was very welcoming, all staff were very friendly. They served the cocktails in such an amazing tea pots, I loved it. We had a pizza, absolutely delicious and the Comedy night was great fun, cherry on top. Unfortunately we couldn’t stay for the second round because of early morning next day...
You can tell straight away these people love what they do.
I definitely will be coming back, I told many my friends already about The Cavendish Arms.
If I could give a 10 stars ⭐️I would . Thank you so much for making a special evening for us.
Monty and Robert x
H. M.Great venue and staff, nice and cosy place
J. M.Good bartenders. good accomodating staff. came here for comedy club, had some GREAT laughs. Got stein when I ordered my pint which always feels great to drink at.
I'm actually jealous of the locals for having this pub.
Also, we got a pizza for a fiver and it was like really really good !
B. S. H.A lovely and eclectic pub with dog themed cocktails
H. Y.Fun staff, great open Mic comedy night. We enjoyed a lovely night out.
S. F.Great set up for outdoor drinks and socialising. The whole team is doing a great job and provide an awesome service to enjoy the start of summer.
J. R.Really fun open mic night! Saw 5 great stand ups and the pizza was tops.
a. h.I booked out the ballroom venue at the pub for my partner's supries 30th. The staff led by Dan were fantastic, great service, friendly and very attentive. Food was good and we were able to order extra on the night on top of the pre ordered, which was great.
I booked the sound/lights engineer, Andy as we had some acts on stage, he was great and very easy to work with. We also booked an extra bar person for the mini bar in the ballroom which worked well.
Also took the fancy dress rail which was well worth it for the enjoyment and photos!
The pub itself is fantastic with amazing decor and atmosphere, good beers on tap with a brilliant selection in cocktails and glassware!
I wish I lived in the area so it could be my local.
Working with Shirley made it really easy to organise everything, having all the extra options above was great. Ive worked in events for the last 12 years, and it was a breeze to work with the Little Nan's team.
Thanks guys, we will be back.
L. C.Ok pub..... Backs onto a rough estate but it tries to 'distance' itself from the clientele who you'd expect to frequent this warm, welcoming and comfortable public house. A great greeting by staff is what first awaits you as you enter the pub and from this initial welcoming immediately dismissed my preconcieved opinion that this could be a bad place. In fact I had a lovely time, good selection of beverages, low bar waiting times and by the looks of things some tasty pub grub my evening turned out to be quite a great mid-week night out. Plenty of outdoor seating, nostalgic decor makes this place great, unfortunately the state of the 'Gents' toilets does add a smear to the overall impression of the place.
N. P.Had a lovely show here, as a performer I'd say its a bit tight, but there was food and drinks throughout which were delish and well worth the price! The ambiance and bohemian vibe is literally on point!
N. C.We recently had a private party at the Cav and just loved every minute of it. The place has so much authentic character. We had lots of live entertainment and the sound guy handled everything magnificently. They were extremely helpful in the lead up as well. I had also previously been to a burlesque evening here and it was one of the best nights out I'd had in three years living in London.
E. T.Lovely place, amazing evening of comedy
N. C.I went there for a friend's gig and it was really nice and cozy. Nice food also.
The only problem is that in the room where the actual gigs were happening was so HOT. After 5 mins you are already sweating in the middle of winter...
K. K.Was recently here for a film shoot. What a fantastic venue for a night out superb staff and an emporium or fabulousness! Great events line up a gem of a place. Thanks for the fun and laughter x
A. S.Good selection of beers, friendly and welcoming with a great atmosphere and plenty of locals. Looks on the outside hide an interesting decor inside, I'd describe it as early 20th century Parisian. The icing on the cake is an intimate second room for live music next door with music every Friday and Saturday. A hidden diamond in the urban rough.
I was especially impressed that I lost my card at the pub and the guys contacted me to let me know and even offered to post it to me. The whole evening the bar staff had been chatty and offered great customer service. Tom and Shirley, the managers, couldn't have been any more helpful and the staff were the biggest asset to a smallish local pub in a world of corporate gastro pubs and wine bars. Top notch.
c. c.Been here twice . Both occasions for a gig . Not hard to find from Stockwell station but a 15 minute walk . Nice large beer garden out front . I think it's aimed at the under thirties but I could be wrong . If a band you like is gigging there get along because it's a nice cosy venue .
G. H.Quirky boozer with high density of decorative items.
Once comfortable in the armchairs, you too will be ready to booze.
It has a music and comedy venue at the back.
O. D.Perhaps the greatest pub on planet earth apart from slateries in camden the pizza is mad nice and the comedy set made me wet my little knickers laughing. I loved the skinhead night the other night propper geezers. Well good, much love
A. T.Often go there for their comedy events so having fun is guaranteed. Super nice staff & crowd. Beware of the couches though, very swallows!
D. M.It is a hidden gem in Stockwell and they have Life Drawing!!!
A. M.Quirky pub, full of props from different tv shows. Apparently one of the owner used to work on TV as a prop master. Also the first pub I've been that only accept cards. Dead to cash, loving it!
S. D.Great evening, lovely pizza's . Friendly staff.
B. P.My wife and I came here because of a Groupon deal that we found online. It included a choice of 2 of their pizzas or 2 of their gourmet hotdogs or one of each, 2 orders of chips and 2 alcoholic drinks and first choice of seats for the comedy show. We absolutely loved everything! We love these quirky type pubs that are a bit off the beaten path. The BBQ chicken pizza and sweet chili chutney dog were DELICIOUS! The comedy show was fantastic as well! The host was hilarious and a really nice guy. The acts were also really good! We even became part of the act and jokes becuase we were the Americans with the Groupon deal lol and it was a really great and fun time. We will definitely come back again when we are nearby!!
L. F.Such an hidden cute and picturesque gem
G. L.The Cavendish Arms is one of the best pubs in London! The staff are friendly and the comedy and cabaret nights they run are full of loving fans - not surprising at all - once you've been to one, you'll know how awesome they are.
I've missed the last tube many times, thanks to losing track of time in this quirky, lively hidden gem of Stockwell.
S. B.The pizza sauce is a little suspect but its a gem of a bar with young movers and shakers and fire to keep you warm. Free comedy too. almost every night. This is that little find you've been searching for.
A. C.Lovely pub indoors, very homely and the leather seats are fantastic. Was a pleasure playing music here, facilities were amazing. Can't wait to return!
J. R.The best of many worlds. I think the Cavendish Arms is one of the finest establishments in finding the essance of London. A little bit of everything. You can't really pin it down but everyone seems to be welcome. A working man born and bred in Vauxhall or a posh bi transman from the other side of the world. This is a place for most. It takes a good 40 min for me to get there but still worth it
N. T.Beautiful pub, great staff. Spot on.
D. C.The Cavendish Arms is now a Little Nan's, with the pub decked out in a kitsch style that is a sort of intersection between EastEnders and Royalty, a bit like your Nan's house, in common with other Little Nan's bars in Deptford and Fitzrovia.
It works. It gives the events pub more character, without taking away from the regular series of evening comedy, cabaret, burlesque and live music in the main ballroom.
I popped in on a Sunday and caught a free comedy show. I'll be back!
A. S.The Cavendish Arms is a pub tucked away on a quiet road about 8 mins walk (in heels) from Stockwell tube station.
There's a lovely beer garden and a reasonably sized bar area with comfy sofas - all pleasant enough. The drinks prices are average for the area and they sell chips well into the night (something every pub should do).
But the best thing about The Cavendish Arms is the back room where gigs and open mic nights take place. It's small, doesn't have a bar and can get very cramped but it's a lovely and intimate space with a decent-sized stage. The chequered floor is a nice touch (as is the disco-ball).
It's a lovely pub which I would never have found by accident - definitely my favourite in Stockwell.
F. F.Great pub, great staff. Perfect for outdoor drinking
J. F.Fun, kitsch little bar. We'll worth a visit for something a little different. Nice venue, friendly staff, a definite thumbs up
R. C.Awesome live music, really friendly staff
F. i. h. w.I wasn't really excited with the outside but I must say that it's a lively pub with a very good atmosphere. Living around I'll come more often and try to attend some of the concerts or cabaret or whatever happens in the second room :)
V. C.Great beer selection, really tasty well-prepared food at sensible prices.
G. A.Pizza ok, great staff, great Cocktails, amazing atmosphere and hilarious stand up. Going back soon! A great laugh, great gem to discover
