  “Came here for a suprise birthday. Really impressed with the food, service and atmosphere. There was live regee music from a really good performer, myself and my partner thought the steak was top notch. Wide selection of drinks including special IPA's. Staff ensured I had a candle on a dessert for my birthday and sang 'the song' 🤣 Would highly recommend.”

  “A brilliant spot for great food in a scenic location. Reasonably priced as well for the quality you get. The drink selection was great too. Only downside is that it gets busy but that is just a side effect of a great place!”

  “Booked for valentine's Day. Booking was easy. Pub has a pay carpark opposite. Very very busy pub we asked for our table but someone was sat at it however staff were brilliant asked people to move and cleaned table. We ordered but this is where it went a little wrong. Food took an hour to arrive just a pizza, fish and chips and a side. Had to ask how long food would be. Staff again were very friendly and explained we were next. My meal arrived shortly after but my girlfriends didn't this arrived around 12 minutes later not good at all. Pub was very busy and noisy not great for couple meal but not the pubs fault and pleased they were doing well. As we were eating the singer set up right behind us the entertainment was ok but made an already loud pub louder. Food was very good and can't fault. However we could not have desert as we could see our table was booked again for 8pm we only got food each at 7.45pm so didn't want to over run more than we had. In short nice but loud pub, great staff, great food but kitchen clearly couldn't cope.”

  “The most flavourful pub food I’ve ever had!! Was recommended to try The Fishpond during our trip and it did not disappoint! Would recommend the halloumi burger and the Tai curry. The curry was a flavour explosion and packed full of veg. The sticky rice compliments it well along with the crispy onions on top adding lovely texture. The burger had a generous portion of halloumi which was lightly battered and very tasty. The roasted peppers complimented it well and it came with a generous portion of chips. The bone marrow mash is a must try. It had a very strong flavour which blew us away. The gravy is also the best pub gravy I have ever tried. Reasonably priced drinks and an interesting selection of different beers/ciders. Will be going again when next in the area!”

  “Nacho first rodeo ! After recently moving into the area we decided to pop in the fishpond earlier this week for a light lunch. We had previously heard good things about their food so was looking forward to checking it out. We opted to have the nacho sharer with extra meat and some chicken wings. Now before I continue nachos and wings are our go to order if we just fancy a little something while out and about and we’ve had some good and some bad examples but this wasn’t just good it was exceptionally good. You could say they’re the “peak” where nachos are concerned. In fact these are by far the best pub nachos I’ve ever had. The wings weren’t to shabby either, they had a crispy coating with a kewpie mayo and a curry ketchup which was an interesting addition to the normal offerings elsewhere. The photo speaks for itself, it’s a mammoth portion and it’s not one of those portions with everything on top and once you’re down a bit it’s a massive bowl of just tortillas. It’s jam packed full of goodies till the very end. Coincidentally the heights of Abraham is nearby and this should be called the heights of nachos ! I’ll definitely be back for more ….”

  “I’ve visited this pub several times now and once again it didn’t disappoint. Delicious gluten-free fish in a perfectly crispy batter, plus a choice of several other gluten-free dishes – such a treat! I highly recommend this place: great atmosphere, lovely staff and, most importantly, a kitchen that’s really coeliac-friendly and kind to our tummies.”

  “When my husband and I got engaged I knew there was only one place where I wanted the reception.. The Fishpond. We were introduced to Liley our wedding planner who really was the brains behind the operation of the wedding day. Liley is so lovely and also helped us make sure our day would flow nicely and make sure we had the best day ever! Which we did! Like everything in life some things don’t go to plan, like the storm that happened during our wedding day so we weren’t able to do some of the things we wanted to, eg. Confetti toss. However this did not ruin our day and we were so grateful we booked the ballroom and the raft so our guests had enough room while we waited for the rain to pass. We chose the hog roast for our wedding breakfast which was honestly one of our best decisions, it was delicious! Our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the food and how it suited us as a couple. In the evening we had the traditional buffet which we also enjoyed! I’d like to thank all the staff at the fishpond that helped make our day run smoothly and made our day extra special! The fishpond is a gorgeous pub with an equally impressive ballroom. I’m so happy we had our reception here and would recommend to any couple looking for a wedding reception!”

  “I went on the recommendation of my son who said he had the best loaded fries here. It was a sunny Sunday so I knew it would be busy, so we booked a table online. Despite the place being absolutely rammed, we were served quickly and the staff were all friendly. The food was really good. Actually better than I was expecting. The loaded fries were indeed great and I had the chilli beef which was lovely. We ended up asking for takeaway boxes because we had a lot left. Prices were reasonable for where we were and what we got.”
