Great staff but pricey for a spoons. Literally twice as much for a breakfast brunch as The Aneurin Bevan spoons just outside the city centre!

Great Wetherspoons just near the train station. We sat outside - plenty of people watching! Service was good, staff were friendly, huge range of drinks at great prices. WiFi was good and although we didn't try the food, what we saw looked good.
