  “Excellent service from the staff, always happy and helpful. However the highlight is the quizmaster Vicky. We’re regular attendees and love how fun and engaging Vicky is, always welcoming and up for a laugh. Couldn’t rate the quiz more highly.”

  “We visited for an English breakfast and, overall, had a good experience. The breakfast was very enjoyable, with great bacon, a tasty sausage, and a lovely cup of tea. The beans were a little watery, but the food was still good overall. There were a few things that could be improved. They had run out of white bread, and there was a very loud, rowdy customer whose behaviour was upsetting younger children in the pub. The toilets also needed more attention, with soap splashed across the mirror, a puddle of water on the floor, and the cubicle doors being quite small and awkward to use. My mug also had a stain on it, so the crockery and cutlery could do with a more thorough wash. Despite those issues, the staff were pleasant, the breakfast was enjoyable, and I would happily return.”

  “This is a great family pub that caters for everyone very well. It's inclusive and friendly with a wonderful atmosphere. The staff are just ace, and the food is both varied and reasonably priced. It's quiz nights on Thursdays are definitely the best in town. The Pond House is well worth a visit for an evening out.”

  “Update 17 May2026 at 13.03pm It is very sad when your regular pub treats you badly. I brought 3 friends for roast lunch for a 12 noon reservation. We discovered on arrival that the establishment changed the reservation to 12.30pm. Then despite queueing behind two ladies to place our order the manager (bald with blue eyes) served a man before us. Chivalry is clearly dead. We did confront him about it very politely but he passed it off with an insincere apology. Then we waited almost 45 minutes for our food with gentlemen who arrived after us being served their roast beef before us. Again another insincere apology. Our turkey roast albeit it delicious was cold when served to us. This is very sad as the standard of service today does not do the Greene King consortium any credit. My guests and I have decided that given the sexist service and lukewarm food, we will be going elsewhere in future. So sad as we usually eat at the Pond House at least 6 to 8 times a month. Very, very disappointed.”

  “Excellent service and relaxed atmosphere at The Pond. Hollie and Paul are fantastic hosts. If you want a good pint in a proper pub come here. Great deals on food and drink where you will feel welcome. Definitely come again.”

  “Great local spot to watch the sports and the atmosphere is definitely better than most pubs around. However, they are not adequately prepared for when it gets busy especially during obvious times such as big sports matches etc. They were unable to keep up with orders at the bar and half of the menu items were unavailable due to running out of key ingredients. This is easy to fix with some planning ahead by management. The food that was available was great and the overall atmosphere is good too and they have tv’s everywhere. Would recommend on casual days, not when there are big televised events though.”

  “Drinks aren't too expensive, there's football on, a pool table, machines and a good size car park. The girls behind the bar were friendly, helpful and chatty. We got a take away and had macaroni cheese and the Katsu chicken. My only complaint was that there wasn't more of the Macaroni cheese. 😁 Would definitely visit again.”
