It was a pleasant evening; however the Senior's meal was much smaller than usual and our table was very draughty, being near the entrance to the bistro. I would suggest that some sort of screen near the front door, to deflect the cold air as people arrive, might help the airflow in the building. Thank-you!

We had porterhouse which was very small and dry overcooked not good. Also had chicken burger which was again dry with sweet potato fries i feel meal was sitting under the heater way to long as some bits weren`t hot..Laksa was okay and parma`s again abit dry one was very thick..Overall I feel everything was just overcooked or in warmer bays to long..staff were friendly but maybe abit sparce one meal we ordered gravy and the waitress was going to bring some other but forgot so we ended up going up and getting it.. Not in a hurry to go back abit disappointing for such a great venue.

I hadn't been to the Dava for many years, and forgot how noisy it can be with all the families on a Saturday night, teamed with the fact that it was Father's Day the next day. I probably won't be back in a hurry unless we can be tucked away somewhere quiet, which I don't think exists there at the Dava. Food was fine, I just couldn't hear the person sitting next to me, speaking.

Great value. Super fast service. Different areas for dining, eg. Family with children area, adult area and quiet dining area to choose from. These things set it apart from most Pubs in the area, and make the experience very enjoyable. I recommend this venue.
