What’s doing this to my strawberry plants?

It looks like the sort of damage which caterpillars cause.
And in most of the world I believe.

Even people in cuckoo land would know that.
Never ever seen a cabbage white caterpillar on strawberries, only adult taking nectar from the flowers.
All the cabbage white caterpillars around here have left the brassicas and pupated....any caterpillar's on OP 's plants are more likely to be those of sawflies
Ok it’s 10pm and just went out and had a look.
Outside of the raised bed there were quite a few dark slugs.
I also found for the first time three small white looking slugs on the leaves. I didn’t see them actually eating but I suppose this is a slow process. All were dispatched with a little precision salt application.
Likely the culprits?
