About

The Pond pairs Taiwanese-style bao and Asian street-food plates with a craft-beer pub setting; recent menus list bao at £7.50 each, including braised mushroom, while reviews praise tofu bao and vegan chicken skewers. It gets busy enough that diners report waiting for a table, but reviewers also note clear vegan labels, friendly staff, and a good range of beers on tap.
