FAP Rating 3 - Click for an explanation of our ratings
In amongst the odd mix of social housing and Victorian splendour which typifies the back streets of Stockwell, the Cavendish Arms was, until recently, one of those tired and ugly 1960's pubs dominated by gruff locals. However, in the Autumn 2007 it was taken over and turned into a worthwhile and interesting music venue. And it seems to be working. The front bar is dark, luxuriant and comfortable, filled with leather chesterfields and deep red walls. There's a stock choice of lager but you can also find some well kept London Pride and a small selection of reasonable priced Pieminster Pies (the Moo Pie caught our eye, for nothing else than it's cutesy name). Meanwhile, the back room is where you'll find all sorts of entertainment, from live bands and comedy to burlesque to theatre and performance. Entry prices range from free to about a fiver, depending on the night. It doesn't open until 4pm, so not one to while away an afternoon in. We can only continue to wish them the best of luck and try and catch some gigs in the near future.
