The Aneurin Bevan Jd Wetherspoons

Had onion rings and drinks here while waiting to collect someone. Forgot to register our car in the car park though and only realised when we left so we went back and spoke to a member of staff who said 'don't worry about it' but I am worried I'm going to get a fine. Anyone know if it will be OK and I won't get a fine.

I visited with friends for a breakfast and a catch-up. Like most of these chain pubs they a pretty soulless with a cut and paste menu and decorations. The same, quiet music is playing and even the seats are generic. I grew up visiting proper valley pubs and rugby clubs with weird, random but unique personalities so I don't really see the appeal with a weatherspoons as anything other than a big posh cafe that serves beer. In your 'local' you can get a bit of small talk and banter with the staff but in these places they are blank faced robots with no personalities who probably don't know the regulars names or what they do for a living. The breakfast was really good but I can't get past the cafe with beer feeling.

I haven't eaten, nor have I experienced the atmosphere because I like to get served and head outdoors to the smoking area. However, I have seen the food produced and the joy on the people's faces that get to tuck into their tasty treats. It's safe to say the food goes down a treat, just like a virgin at the end of school disco.
