The Canterbury

The Pub is situated in the centre of Neath, just around the corner from the main pedestrainised shopping street Queen Street and directly opposite the bus station at Victoria Gardens. Unassuming pub looking at it from the outside and quite small too, but the signeage and the big banner promoting their carvery draws you in. Quite a traditional boozer serving local brews plus the odd real ale on tap too (i.e. Greene Kings’ IPA). Had the IPA at £2.50 a pint. Quite an extensive food menu, bar meals range from an Engligh breakfast to ham, eggs and chips both starting at around £3.60 ish, then up to the other end of the spectrum with an 8oz sirlion steak at around £8. The average price of a bar meal is £5 say fro a Steak and Guinness pie for example, quite afew of the bar meals ate at this price and ther are at least half a dozen to choose from. As for the afore mentioned carveries they come in at £5 for the large one & £4 for the small one. It is not self service and the food is plated for you. You have a choice of meats with turkey, pork or beef and a range of vegetables. For a more cheaper option should also mention the hot panninis at £3.50. Pub is decorated modestly and is warm and comfortable. With both the staff & locals welcoming enough. Lead to believe they have live music there at the weekends and there are large TV that are wall mounted to display sporting events. Well worth popping in, especially due to its close proximity to the shops & bus station making it very convenient & accessible.
