Ideal place for good food at a good price. Beers reasonably priced too.
Easy to reach from Port Talbot centre

Great branch of Wetherspoons and so easy to get to from the shopping mall — just walk over the bridge across the river beside Tesco and follow the main shopping street — it will be on your right.
Lots of seating (of all kinds) and wooden tables in this large pub so it’s usually easy to find somewhere to sit and have lunch. It’s such a great and varied menu for everyone (including vegetarians — even a choice for vegans!) and incredibly good value, especially on one of the ‘special’ days. Our favourite is Thursdays when it’s the ‘Curry Club’. You can have two starters, two main courses and two drinks (including a pint of beer and glass of wine) for £10!
We used to seek out specialist vegetarian restaurants and cafes when visiting different towns but now we look for a branch of Wetherspoon instead. We can be sure of a great choice and only spend about a third of the price. Big fans!

This pub is part of the J D Wetherspoons chain of pub, if you have visited one of those before then you know what you are letting yourself in for when you walk through the door. They are very clean, service orientated and do good food & drink promotions.
Like all the the other pubs in the chain, the name is derived from local history and decorating the interior walls are old photos showing the High Street & Station Road going back to the beginning of last century. Plus a brief history of the namesake of the pub name.
Like I said JD Wetherspoons have different promotions on at differing times. This usually involves wine festivals and meal deals. On my particular visit the Real Ale Festival (£1.50/£1.60 on selected local real ales) was ongoing plus it was their Thursday curry night (Curry & drink for £4.99 which is a £1 cheaper than the Smith & Jones chain of pubs who also have curry nights on Thursday.)
The pubs was quite spacious incl. a room for private parties upstairs. he bar was also tastefully furnished too.
Would recommend it for a good meal & drink, plus it is central to Port Talbot in terms of location.
