Pub on the Pond in Swansea

cosy environment with nice quality food👍

2 of us arrived at 5.40pm, pub was not busy. We immediately ordered food, told there would be a 20 minute wait for food. Our food arrived at 6.40pm, we asked twice for it. We had 10 mins in which to eat as we had theatre tickets. The food was lovely but the delay totally ruined our food. No lighting outside from the carpark to the pub. Dangerous

Very large group for a Xmas outting, staff were well organised considering the large number of us, food was excellent all round. Very please

Warm welcome and quick service. The food was great and the drinks were lovely too. I've previously really enjoyed the main menu, but the Christmas menu was delicious too. Turkey dinner and cheesecake were amazing. I also had the seasonal hot chocolate with cointreau. Amazing!

Really helpful and friendly staff, food was excellent for our Society Christmas meal. Thank you so much.

We arrived at 4 pm on Thursday 5 December in the afternoon. It was not very busy apart from a large Christmas party at one end of the pub. No problem we thought....there are plenty of empty tables at the other end. Wrong, three tables had reserved signs upon them both, no worries, six or seven others did not have reserved signs. Relieved, we selected an unreserved round table with four chairs. Perfect for our party of two elderly grandparents and our six year old granddaughter! Having sat down for a few minutes to look at the food menu, we were suddenly accosted by a young man, who bellowed rudely "you can't sit there" in a very unfriendly manner. We quietly mentioned that we were not sitting at a reserved table but he ignored us and bellowed further "all them tables are reserved for a big party coming in later, you'll have to move". We were shocked by his aggressive and unpleasant manner and enquired where are we able to sit? "You better sit on that high table next to the bar", not ideal as our six year old granddaughter struggled to climb up. Decided just to order soft drinks as the welcome did not bode well for ordering food. The soft drinks came in glasses apart from our granddaughter's J2O, which was in a bottle....no glass or even a straw offered. I ventured "sorry to be a pain, but any chance of a glass for the J2O please?" It was clearly an inconvenience for the same young man who was now behind the bar (he seemed to be in charge) and muttering something, kindly brought a glass. I had to visit the bathroom but there was no soap in the gent's toilet in both of the two soap dispensers. Despite my reservations as to what response I would get, I did report this (to the same person) and got a "yeh, yeh, yeh, I know and will sort it later". With dirty hands we left and never will return.

We dined at POTP yesterday for our christmas meal. The whole process of booking and pre ordering was smooth and simple and the food itself was excellent value for money! The service was outstanding too. Thanks so much for a lovely start to the festive period!

Nice atmosphere and place to have a meal / drink, food was OK and staff friendly, but the staff brought out our main course less than 1 minute after our starter? Surely you finish your starter, usually followed by a short 5-10 minute wait, then the main course is brought out.

I needed something fairly quick to eat, I had 90 minutes. The food was served in good time and was delicious. The staff were extremely friendly.

£1.85 for tiny kid’s glass of lemonade

We had a lovely quick lunch, Cory & the Team were amazing as we didn't have much time for lunch and accommodated our pre-orders and they came out quick and with no fuss. We would recommend their food and their efficient service.

Came here and had to clean our own table wet wipes came black. Had to wipe down baby’s chair black. Menu wiped down black. People not in uniform. Food looks like it is cooked in the microwave and the chicken tastes like it’s made in a lab. Very quiet no wonder as the place is filthy wouldn’t even let my dog eat here

Encantadora noche relajante. Toda la comida caliente y sabrosa (mi filete de solomillo era increíble) Personal amable. Esperamos volver a visitarlo. Bien hecho!

Excellent visit popped in for lunch whilst on holiday and it didn't disappoint 😀

Fantástico servicio recibido de Cory. No hay muchos problemas. Nos hizo sentir como en casa. Incluso traje golosinas para nuestro springer spaniel, que fueron muy bien recibidos. Nuestras comidas estaban bien cocinadas, caliente y sabroso y a los niños les encantó la zona de juegos y el lago de botes.

Great place to eat friendly staff. Great service dog friendly. The only downside for me personally is the lighting.

Excellent Food Attentive Staff, Regularly go for Sunday dinner. Love the food top quality and value for money

Always a warm welcome. Great service, food and drinks.

Welcomed twice to the pub this week. 3 adults and 2 dogs Bar staff very friendly and polite Good value for money

We went there for a family birthday meal. There was 8 of us and we all ordered the same time and food arrived all together so nobody was waiting.

lovely here. nice food for cheap and good pint

Great place to stop Off to grab a drink and some Food.. fabulous location and excellent staff.

Atmosphere ok.food served underdoneand virtually cold

I have reviewed this place before, but I will again. We didn't go to the pub this time due to lack of time. This pub is situated in a park. There's paid parking out the back of the pub. Dog friendly in bar area in which you can eat food. Nice atmosphere. Outdoor seating area. There's a pond on which there are peddle boats and a mini golf course. There's a child's area with swings, etc.. There are a lot of geese walking around. People often feed them. We have a dog around them with no issue. Dogs are allowed on the peddle boats. I would recommend it.

Dirty, rundown, terrible food. Came with a large group of us because we were visiting the park already. Wish we had gone somewhere else. It’s dirty, rundown, toilets are disgusting. The food was very poor quality and poorly prepared. Won’t be visiting again

Following a game of mini golf I took my son for lunch at the Pub in the Pond. We had a small lunch which was very reasonably priced and we both enjoyed. The chicken wings in hot IPA sauce was exceptionally nice. I have visited this venue throughout my life both as a child and adult. It is great for families, has a park, mini golf, pedal boats, fishing, car parking, near a beach. Plenty to do

We only had a drink after coming off the paddle boat lovely atmosphere and great location.

The staff at Pub on the Pond were hugely accomodating to a large group of us that attended this evening for a pub quiz. All staff members were helpful and friendly, allowing to have a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

This place is dire which we were shocked about as we’ve visited Green King many times. The place was full of flies, tables were dirty, toilets again loads of flies, we asked to be moved and was told there is flies as it’s summer. The food was awful, give this place a miss

Me, my wife and friends took our kids to the pub on the pond today. Food came out quickly and was reasonably priced. Food was spot on, my other half likes her steak medium well and it was cooked perfect for her. Table was cleared quickly and pub and toilets were clean and tidy. Will definitely recommend and be back.

My waitress was really kind and helpful service was spot on and the food was amazing

Dirty, scruffy, in need of refurbishing and a deep clean. Shame for such a prime location

We went here with friends and our kids, Food was spot on. Came out quickly and was reasonably priced Will definitely be back

Microwave Turkey dinner with side of flies If I could rate 0 star I would. Absolutely disgusting place and filthy, flies swarming around everywhere, and everything is dirty and sticky. Very disappointed ruined my son’s birthday meal. Food came out cremated from microwave and was cheap frozen crap! Toilets covered in urine faeces and flies everywhere. Rubbish and food all over floor inside and out. Staff kept disappearing waited over 10 mins just to be seated which was not ideal with 3 young toddlers. When made complaints we were told it’s the weather and that’s why there was dirt and flies everywhere in a rude attitude. Will not return here EVER has gone downhill massively.

Very busy around 5pm people queuing to buy drinks and order food but only one person serving behind the bar. Tables outside were dirty.

Stunning food, beaautifil service..I can't wait to visit again. My grandkids really enjoyed it. Really nice price for food.

I come here regularly with my partner, the atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable. the staff are very friendly and the surrounding enviroment is gorgeous. There's a decent menu selection covering a range from spicy shwarma to classic pub grub.

called there lunch time mid week with a party of seven senior citizens disabled access ok food average service good but i would advise seniors it may be too loud for them as this time of the year it caters for families of all ages the only complaint i have is you have to pay for the use of the car park which is not cheap

Great food, very well priced. Great family pub

Toilet holders were covered in faeces smelt and very unhygienic. I'm a nurse and it made me feel sick

Our food order had to be changed 3 times on 2 occasions as they had run out of almost everything on the menu. Even the fish and chips was done, on what I found out to be delivery day. Then Despite pub being quiet we were told the wait time for food was over an hour. Everything was just a disaster. Ended up having no choice but to have the scampi, which was not enough to feed a 5 year old. Had 5 pieces of scampi and 10 chips. Highly recommend avoiding this dish as much as possible. The staff were friendly have no idea what was going on though. Shame, the venue location is spot on, truly disappointed.

The staff and food are excellent especially the staff👍👍

Terrible pub but in a great location. Got the order wrong and no idea if we paid the right amount. Wouldn't survive it wasn't in a good location.

Cheap food it is not, burger was overcooked to the size of a jaffa cake, the chicken wrap was nice, the steak and cheese wraps used processed burger cheese and were dry. The chios were yummy and the tea and coffee were great. But its grimmy. We used to go there when my son was un uni, wouldnt go again deffinately sit inside its a tad less grim.

We had to clear our own table on arrival and move all the dishes/glasses to another table. We then left with a table with salt all over it and sauce, the menus were wet and soggy too. We were not able to order what we wanted from menu as there were a few things out of stock. We went with a sharer which was 3 plates of fries. Our drinks got taken to another table 1st but did eventually make our way to us. The 3 plates of fries took 1 hour and 10 mins to arrive we had to chase this up. Our food went to another table 1st and then eventually arrived to us. We were there for 2 hours in total where tje table next us did not get cleaned once, it was stinking as we had had to move our dirty table onto it where it was already dirty. Everytime someone opened the door to the men's toilet the smell would hit us where we were sitting. Will not be revisiting

Very reasonable prices. Outside could do with a bit of a tidy up, but it's nice watching the little boats go by, and the geese. Great place for children.

Went yesterday to have dinner. There was an unreasonably long wait for our food to come out and when it did everything came at once. All starters and mains bought at the same time meaning a cluttered table and a rushed meal before everything went cold. Food quality was acceptable but nothing to rave about. Made an unfortunate visit to the ladies toilets where I was greeted with used toilet paper on the floors. According to my husband the gents were no better. For a family friendly place I was very disappointed. Will not return any time soon.

Nice place with staff to match, but overdue a clean up.

Sunny Friday lunchtime and just one person serving food and drink, two people in front of me took over 20 minutes ordering and chatting to bar man so I left without a pint , wont go there again

Had a great evening, everyone was so friendly, quick service

Food was amazing and the staff are always cheerful. It was also nice that chef Dan brought our food to the table.

just love pub on the pond fantastic atmosphere lovely staff and speedy service 😀...awesome location such a pleasant place to visit ...will definitely be back 😊

Great value food and drink and super friendly staff. Great place for a family meal

Went out with my family on the weekend and I thought it was lovely! You can really see the great initiative that the staff show and their great teamwork. I highly recommend this place!!

What a beautiful place we called in on a day of work and have now had lunch a few times on our way, we will also be calling back with our family. This pub is in a lovely location as it says in the name right by a pond so when weather permitting is lovely to sit outside. The staff are very friendly which leads in to the atmosphere inside the pub, even the locals are friendly. The food (I had steak) which was cooked to perfection each time ordered this pub the location the staff and food is definetly 5 star 🌟 😊

Frequently visit this place, amazing service and friendly staff!

Every time I come here, I leave with full satisfaction. The service is excellent, and the food is the best in the area.

This pub used to be a lovely FAMILY pub where you could eat food But was down the other day And literally the pub has gone to the DOGS, There’s dogs there having diarrhoea amongst you while you’re eating your food We couldn’t stand the smell of dogs there! And didn’t order food! DISGUSTING!

Here’s a negative review based on your description: --- What an absolute shambles. In a party of 12, we turned up and waited 35 minutes just to be served a drink, as there was only one staff member available. When we attempted to order food, the bartender essentially told us not to bother since there was only one chef handling everything, and over an hour wait. The pub was an absolute mess, with plates and glasses strewn everywhere. Outside was just as bad, with seagulls on tables eating the leftovers. The service was a joke. We ended up leaving without food. If you’re looking for a nice meal with family, this is not the place.

Nice pub great position, popular with Uni students

Always have a great time at Pub on the Pond, the staff are always helpful, Cory and Geraint have a great team around them, the food was brilliant, I had 5 of the small plates and I couldn’t recommend them more

Whole place needs renovation, quite dirty, very small chicken breast. Taste was like warmed frozen food. Food has been much better before. Dissapointment this time.

Always have a good time at Pub on the Pond - and the pub quiz is excellent, displays are great even if I can't balance that 20p on the lemon and as loyal regulars we love the service and love the tasty burgers yum!!! Can't wait for the Xmas dinner menu to come back though that was another level. Great service, delightful bar tender despite his tight trousers

Pub on the pond is always a family favourite! The atmosphere is always brilliant. Food was really good, and found that the wait and bar staff were super friendly, knowledgeable and chatty!

The staff at Pub on the pond were exceptional. Friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and very helping. They went above and beyond to ensure that my visit was enjoyable. They were quick to offer recommendations and seemed genuinely passionate about the pub and its offerings.

staff were very helpful, performance from kitchen, bar and wait staff was fantastic, a family favourite

Food took to long to come. Only 3 tables filled. Then burger was burnt. Parking was to expensive.. Wasn't worth it. Wouldn't go there again. The quality of the food is better in morrison cafe

Decent food for a decent price enjoyed the park with the kids

Food was very small potions, the hunter chicken was the smallest chicken breast I’ve ever seen me and my partner laughed. Had a nacho sharer but was more like for one person! Given the prices you think it be a decent filling meals but we left hungry unfortunately. The ladies toilets were gross broken toilet roll holders water or pee over the floors and soap everywhere and the lady serving our food was a bit rude she brought two of our meals out then just chatted away to some guys and I was waiting for her to bring my meal out too my partner nearly finished his by then and when she went to get a side order so came back and started talking to the guys again with my side order in her hands very unprofessional

The birds nesting in the ashtray on the outside wall are amazing!

Very good but cheap meal and drinks!

Extremely disappointing place. It was so dirty : tables left messy and dirty everywhere, bottles and cups, as well as cigarette buds on the floor outside. We felt we would give it a chance because of the beautiful view of the lake and the nearby playground. We regretted it. The food was absolutely awful. Not worth it at all. On top of all you have to pay for the car park. Avoid at all costs.

Frequent visitors to this lovely little pub on the pond but the standards are slipping. Just got served a burger that was wrong to start with missing bacon, then the plate came back from the kitchen with bacon just added on top when the burger was the discovered not cooked nearly raw. This isn't the first time this has happened either with poor food service. To Spend £25 on food to leave starving, not enough staff on to cover demand. Things need to improve here.

It was a bank holiday weekend and it was packed, we had booked so did have a place, but lot were turned down for food. It was a bit noisy and hard to get your self heard at times, but the food was great.

Not bad , plastic cups for pints outside, ok that's understandable give there's children running around . Nice suntrap outside, although new tables needed outside and the windows look like they are rotting. Didn't have food , so I can't comment on that . Staff were nice and polite, but need more of them . All in all not bad at all.

Arrived yesterday for pre-booked table in a party of 9, when we decided what people required we went to the bar to order after queuing when we went to order where told no steaks available as no delivery on Saturday of steak, returned to table to get reviewed order had to queue again started to place order only then to be told no Katsu Curry, again went back to table for another choice to be made, when returned to order Beef Dinner was again told none available so changed it Turkey making 4 only of be told only 3 available ,staff went to kitchen to check and was then told its OK they can do 4, should not have bothered has there was more meat in 1 sausage than I had on my plate, roast potatoes were the last from the packet as for the veg some of us had different, Burger, Fish and Pie all fine, you send out reminders by email about booking surely you could then say about availability of product, we didn't mention to staff on the day as they were busy and seemed short staffed.

Food was excellent and brought out on time, nothing was forgotten or wrong, considering the large group of 25 of us. Attended for my baby shower and they were brilliant accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed/we were all together. Would recommend to anyone!

Had the steak and cheese wrap which had 3 slices (thin) of steak in it and 2 slices of what i can only call plastic cheese (the one like you get in a shop cheese burger) which was horrendous to say the least, i had 6 chips so thankgod for them but they were cold, hmmm dont think ill be going again.

We didn't book a table but they still fitted us in....Great Atmosphere and tasty food...will definitely be back

Fantastic welcoming pub, great food, lovely atmosphere, nothing too much trouble. Great venue. Absolutely will visit soon again.

Just had a lovely meal and can't fault the food or service. Geraint was serving and could not have been more friendly or helpful, would recommend the Pub on the Pond to anyone looking for a great deal on good food

Bouncing this Friday evening in POTP. Such great staff and wonderful service. We tend to pop in for a swift half when walking the dogs. We are treated so well it has become a bit of a go to place. So happy to see that others are catching on to this little gem with such easy access and plentiful parking. Small plates are also delicious for a snack and they even serve cheap food for the dogs. Massive thanks to Gez tonight who saw us arriving and had our usual ready before we even made the bar!!!

It was very quiet when we went but was not expecting it to be otherwise food was good

Returned for a family birthday celebration after a great Christmas one. Ordered buffet food in advance. Cold buffet food was excellent as was the hot. The dessert platters were even nicer than previously. Kid's meals were great and excellent value for money.Staff were kind, helpful and efficient . All in all another great experience

Never again food was so small for amount money I paid I will never return again

Friendly staff and good service. Vegan options available so the whole party was catered for. Reasonable pricing for the food that we had.

Don’t know what to say , was a nice place years ago , came today and what a mess would never ever come again the food was terrible and the paint finger prints on the glasses was the final straw

Amazing food as always with service to match, always there for our needs and my family love going there. It’s our go to pub when we need food, love the place

Cheap and cheerful. Mediocre. Staff great and friendly

It was a quiet early in the evening, several of the chosen drinks/dishes were not available. All the meat was well cooked and very tasty the children enjoyed their half term FREE meals desserts and drinks. Downside expensive parking should have used the college car park. £2 after 4pm

Whilst visiting family in Wales for the weekend, we were delighted to learn that this place also welcomed our furry family member Max 🐶 We chose the steak from the menu which was cooked to perfection & the desert went down a treat. Most of all I’d like to commend the staff for the lovely Welsh welcome we received & of course, Max loved the fuss. A real relaxed, family atmosphere & we will definitely return during our next visit to Wales. Keep up the excellent work team x

Thank you once again for delivering fab service and excellent food for my family.. Always grateful you go the extra mile !!😊

Booked Pub on the pond for 19 of us for my mums 60th birthday. We had a fab time! The staff were great, the atmosphere fantastic. Would definitely recommend.

Stunning food lovely service can not fault it in any way!! The kitchen team Nathan and the service staff had a lovely night thank you xx

Nice ambience and cozy pub, we could bring our dog which was great. Very affordable pub food and lovely position for families with kids and dogs. There is a payable parking available outside the pub, a little lake, a playground and mini golf just outside.

We sat down as a table of 3, one plate arrived 15 minutes before the other 2 which was a shame as we like to eat together. This meant I had a luke warm meal. A bacon cheeseburger was ordered by a friend, the audacity to even have the word bacon in the name is mind boggling. Attached is a photo of said “bacon”, which made up approximately 1% of the burger, “essence of bacon” would be more fitting. Staff were friendly and welcoming and were obviously busy. However, it doesn’t excuse the quality of food and wait time. Chairs and tables very run down.

Had my cricket Christmas dinner here and the steak was fantastic I’ve been talking about it for weeks since. Would definitely return

Reasonable price good choices. Disabled access. Helpful

Organised the Uni's Cricket Club Christmas dinner event at Pub on the Pond in December and had the best help and service from the staff! The food was great and so was the service when navigating serving 40+ guests with multiple courses. The Pub also very kindly offered for us to have a spontaneous karaoke session after dinner which all the members loved. Thank you to everyone at Pub on the Pond for the event. Will definitely come back again as a Club!

Staff were immense, 20 quid for me, my partner and baby (excluding drinks). Can't overemphasise how good the staff were
