The Pond - Carte

Good bao buns but flavourless expensive vegetable sides and the chip portions are stingy

Pleasant enough place, enjoyed a beer and G&T outside. Service ok and range of beers good.

Sooooo delicious!! The in-house pale ale is a great pairing with the food and easy to drink for someone who doesn’t usually like beer. Voir le carte

Don’t bother! Most unfriendly pub in Brighton! Not welcome if wearing Brighton colours in your own city! Jog on mate! U luv Man U fans!

My sister and I shared the vegan chicken skewers and they were so tasty. We also both got the tempura tofu bao and it was incredible! The price was reasonable £7 per bun £7 for two skewers). I would recommend, especially if you're vegan/vegetarian.

we came in a couple weeks ago and had the best time, the staff were super friendly and great- especially our server Daisy, she was really kind, we aren't local so asked her for recommendations and she gave us lots of fun things to do! Food was great and a brilliant selection of beers Voir le carte

Been visiting the Pond for years and it's always a fantastic experience. The beer selection is ever changing and always has plenty of options for every type of beer drinker. The food is absolutely exceptional. Their signature bao buns never disappoint and I've never tried a side I didn't thoroughly enjoy. Service is great too with very professional, friendly, and efficient staff. We will continue returning again and again

In the past, this place tried and succeeded to be a locals bar. The vibe was great and the staff were fab. Now, it has picked a direction, and makes everyone else feel uncomfortable. I walked in at 2pm, on a Tuesday (March 2024). There were 3 staff behind the bar. A pub which used to welcome you with a smile, now you feel like an inconvenience. If the staff can’t recognise someone who they have served more than 7 times over 2 months… you’re not the bar I want to drink in

After having a fabulous meal at a local venue my friends and I decided to visit the Pond for a nightcap. On entering the premises I tripped down a badly lit step (which I have photographic evidence)and was then subsequently refused a drink by the bar staff as i was deemed too intoxicated. I can assure you I was not, in fact far from it. She then complained to the venue bouncer that I had shouted and used profanities..At no time did this happen I had simply asked why I was refused and commented that I was not drunk. I will not be returning to this place and I would advise anyone who would visit at night to be very wary of the darkened step, you may also trip and be accused of being 'too drunk... Voir le carte
