The Lord Caradoc in Neath Port Talbot

Bouncers wouldn't let me use the facilities on the pub when i needed them most

Great place, food could be better

MANAGEMENT IGNORANT TOO THE CORE..

Love the experience we had here

Typical Spoons except the girls behind the bar were really good and were friendly and entertaining.

Quick service and friendly staff

Once again I find myself in a Spoons. I seem to repeat myself every time. For the value for money you just cannot go wrong. Food great, staff chatty, well it is Wales, and the pub was clean with a great atmosphere.

Great staff. Cracking pint. Would have no hesitation in visiting again.

A good cheap pint, a rarity these days

Good service and you know what you are getting

I find it hit and miss here with the food. But i did have a good jacked pot with tuna and a pint for £6 ish. Good value for money👍

Cozy, large place, very good attention and great service

It's a decent place with good prices of alcohol and meals with a decent atmosphere.

They are excellent in the atmosphere.

Love this wether spoons the food is amazing and well presented and the staff are really friendly

Called in for a pint of John Smiths and a coffee. Amazed that I only paid £3.55 for both and that included free refills for the coffee. Very friendly staff, clean and a nice atmosphere. Only downside is the upstairs toilets which my cousin couldn't manage.

Used to be terrible a few years back, now it is definitely one of best places in town to eat if you like to budget. I do like the mixed grills here, not too pricy and always have a good service.

Nice pub friendly staff cheap beer, good atmosphere. Car parking around the corner. Some parking outside. No gluten-free food.

Lovely meal hot tasty good service polite staff can't wait to go again

Good customer care and not too busy when we went

A very nice wetherspoon pub, will call again.

Food is what it is (and what you would expect from a wetherspoons) but would like to highlight really good service from Harry a recent addition to the team on last two occations we've been in. Does not stop working from behind bar to taking meals out and clearing plates away.

Lovely evening. Staff friendly and good value for money.

Lovely breakfast and dinners are reasonably priced. Lovely pub, staff are lovely

Food served piping hot and tasty.

Popped in to Port Talbot Wetherspoons and I was surprised with a good service by thr bar staff with quickly made food that arrived. Food was a really good standard 👌 my boy enjoyed the ultimate burger and I had the buttermilk chicken burger. They also have thing slide steak night and curry nights so maybe popping back in again soon.

Very disappointing! Don’t bother wasting your money. Ordered of the Christmas menu but food came out very dry. Asked if we can have more gravy was told no as all in a packet so that’s all the gravy there is. It barely covered the meat let alone anything else. On a plus side the food was tasty and hot but was let down with a label in my dinner yes a sticker saying Friday. Staff came to remove plates from previous customers but didn’t bother wiping table. Not a good experience at all they don’t even come to table to see if all ok with your food just poor from start to finish. Very disappointing

"Just another typical 'Spoons pub" you might say, but it's the people who work, eat & drink here that make the difference :) If you prefer a posher experience, then go back to Cardiff lol 😂

I have visited many times for lunch here. Food fine good atmosphere and friendly staff.

Did not have food. Nice pub like all wetherspoons cheao and cheerful

Food was cold 🥶 wouldn't go back

Food cold not very clean inside

Breakfast was lovely, beans were hot 👍🏼

Great food, drink and service. Will be back for defo

The food was good 👍 the service was great 👍

Disgusting! To start with I felt like I was bothering the staff by ordering and asking questions. The attitude was disgusting….I asked for the children’s menu and the reply was ‘isn’t it on there?’ (Main menu) I was then told ‘go look by the sauces’. I had to ask for a cloth with spray to clean the table as it was so dirty and sticky, I was given a cloth to do it myself and not even asked what I needed it for…they couldn’t have cared less! The children’s pancakes were plain and dry with no butter or anything given with them. For the three of us it came to approx £17 which if you go to the beefeater in baglebrook next to the premier inn you can have an all you can eat buffet meal far far nicer that this for £10 and kids eat free for that too! I will never be returning here.

Female staff are biased when serving the public

Beer great as usual food has gone down in quality and up in price

We had a quick bite to eat here with my elderly father. Easy to find a table that was clean. Ordered food and drinks and we didn't have long to wait for the drinks and probably only 10mins for food. Enjoyed

Really busy when we arrived, cheap drinks and strongbow on tap.

Great value for breakfast. Enjoyed it very much.

The disabled toilet on the ground floor is left open for everyone to use . The toilet was absolutely revolting there was a strong smell of old stale urine , the toilet floor was covered in urine pools of it and stained brown with never being cleaned . So as a disabled user I was unable to use this vile facility . I informed the bar staff of the state of the toilet who just said oh ok !!! .

Can't go wrong with a Wetherspoon's!

Nice steak & chips with a pint of Doom bar not very busy service quick & friendly Tables could do with being clean better

What more can you say about Wetherspoons, cheapish and cheerful great service, attentive staff and a few characters to boot 😂👍🏼

Not been here before. But will visit again. My meal was fab and service was lovely too

It’s whetherspoons - they’re the pub equivalent of McDoanlds - enough said.

I had no food today. Good friends. Staff helpful.

Lovely reasonably priced food , good service but in need of a deep clean . Chairs were dirty and stained and tables sticky

Very noisy atmosphere as expected from a wetherspoons food is lovely aswell. Best chocolate fudgecake around

Lovely meal bar man was nice but one of the ladies that cleaned tables very rude but nice pub apart from her

Young female manager is very rude. Ordered a gin and lemonade at a meal with friends and children and was asked for ID. I didn’t have my license on me as it was a last minute outing but had a clear and detailed photo of my passport which she refused to even look at. My partner said he’d have the gin for himself as it was an extra cost on top of the meal deal we had ordered and she refused to give it to him, while also refusing to refund him the difference for the gin saying that she didn’t even have to bring out a substitute soft drink as we were in the wrong. Another member of our group went up to order his partner a drink and the manager instructed a member of staff to come over and check that the drink was empty and that it wasn’t for me. After the drink was brought to our table, a few of the members of staff kept staring over watching our every move to make sure I wasn’t the one drinking. Such an uncomfortable experience.

The food here is always a win! Cheap prices for pretty decent menu options (as most Spoons' are). The staff are hit and miss, you either get really friendly and smiley helpful staff, or grumpy, miserable and unhelpful staff. More recently we have had quite grumpy staff which is a shame. The atmosphere is usually friendly and light hearted. On a weekend evening its usually the typical loud and sometimes difficult to talk atmosphere.

As Spoons go these are one of the better ones. Drinks are good reasonable value here and food served is also very good. Although I have noticed their prices have gone up quite a bit lately.

Probably the best spicy meat feast pizza I've ever had

Very nice and pleasant atmosphere.

I'm here at moment. I think the staff are brilliant. The atmosphere is fabulous 👌

Great place to go and have food and a drink staff are great

Missing food now. Stopped serving food. Is there any plant to restart?

Time was average had jacket was bit dry as need butter then a spard steak was fatty somleft that gammon was 2 bits so won't be having mix grill again

Went with a large group and were made welcome & served very well.

Absolutely shocking service. We decided to go to spoons at 9:30pm for some food. They were still serving. We all ordered our food and our SOFT drinks came over. We then had a very rude staff member ask us for ID. 2 out of the 4 of us had ID on us. We are all 22 years old and don’t look young in any way. Also one of us is 8 months pregnant. They then proceeded to tell us that we have to leave because it is after 9pm and we don’t look over 18. After 9pm they turn into a pub. They also said refund will take 48 hours. We wished they had told us this before we ordered our food. And the staff were so absolutely rude to us especially to the pregnant woman. Absolutely disgusting service. I believe it was a young man, a blonde woman and another woman who had dealt with our situation. All 3 were disgustingly rude. We all felt so belittled. Won’t ever be eating there again. We had the impression that they just couldn’t be bothered to cook our food. Absolutely appalling🤮 I don’t know what’s happened to good service these days. Staff were so disrespectful🤮also the staff sneakily tried to refund us our food without telling us and refunded it to the wrong person. When the pregnant member of our group stated she is pregnant the man said “people are getting pregnant very young these days” then rolled his eyes and walked away. She felt very sad after this and got very upset. I notice someone had removed this review once so they don’t look bad. I’ll keep putting it up until I have an apology. Also still awaiting my refund. Shocking

Rude staff , seemed to be after we sent back our steak as we asked for well done and it came bloody. Waitress told my daughter " you have to call me, I'm not psychic you know" no need for that comment.

Good standard weather spoon. Super busy on Saturday afternoon. Food was great

We come here at least once a month to meet up with friends for lunch, and we've noticed in recent months a marked dip in things. Tables not being cleaned for ages after customers leave. Less staff. Loads of things are unavailable to order on the menu(haven't noticed this in other "spoons"). What they have not cooked properly and portion sizes shrinking.

My friends and I go out once a month for breakfast to various establishments, we are all retired bus drivers, we had been getting stuck for somewhere to go,so the lord caradoc port talbot was suggested I was really surprised the atmosphere was good,the food was even better,it was my first time in a weatherspoons I was not disappointed

Sent meal back, looked like it had been on the hotplate for hours

Disabled toilets are disgusting, I don’t think they’re cleaned very often. They’re disabled toilet room is not suitable for vulnerable people as it is not hygienic, wet dirty floors and walls are repulsive to be put simply, shocking considering mostly vulnerable people use it and aren’t comfortably able to. Needs re-vamp. Would much rather use neath facilities.

Fab Food, Fab service and excellent value for money.

Great local pub - great prices - greet beer & food - nice homely atmosphere and nice to see a busy bustling pub.

Very busy, sticky floors and classic weatherspoons so unsure on whether 3 or 4. The positive is the speed of service and the staff were friendly and nice. Also toilets weren't as high compared to some Wetherpsoons 😅

Meals were served hot and quickly.the waitress was very pleasant

Don't be misled by the grand name, The Lord Caradoc is bad, even for a Wetherspoons. Expectations are never set high 😂. Food was poor compared to others in the chain. Update 2023: Pleased to see things improved hence updating to 4 stars. The serving team are very good, if stressed!. That's because it is also usually busy which is a good sign, and there seems to be a renaissance in the Station Road generally, with more business and activity which is great to see.

Even though it was busy due to the rugby food came out quickly. There was a little mix up with my food but it was rectified in minutes. I would definitely recommend

Popped in for a quick pint was a nice pint too

Nice pub and friendly staff too. Very busy when we went there twice.

A nice relaxing atmosphere, friendly staff,and lot of variety of drinks aswell as good.hreat service from staff .

The Lord Caradoc offers exceptional value for your money with its top-notch food quality, generous portions, and diverse menu selection. The ingredients are fresh and dishes are expertly prepared, all for a reasonable price.

Caradoc. Was very busy, but didn't have to wait too long to get service.

Updating review to reflect the fact that prices remain so low despite the cost of living going up so rapidly everywhere else. Every time we've been we have had a decent meal and good service - and for roughly the same price as going to McDonald's!

Reasonably priced pint of Abbott

Friendly service, nice breakfast and ale's. Nice and clean. Enjoyed.

Lovely people and great staff 👍

It's a wetherspoons cheap drinks good cheap food

Always busy but service is good

Lovely food , very busy nice friendly staff

On getting here at 8am we didn’t expect it to be busy so there was plenty of room. My brother ordered two large breakfast via the easy to use app with coffee and tea. Within 2 minutes our cups were with us and I was able to enhance my bacon cooking by speaking to the Manager who passed on my request The food was excellent and quickly made and delivered by the Manager Great value for money When we left at 9 there were many more people enjoying food

Friendly staff, cheap and cheerful

Good food and good price for a drink very reasonable and friendly service

Can't beat a spoons :) Fast service and cheap food / drinks

We ordered a bacon sandwich no butter on bread and bacon was cold

Excellent place! I am from Argentina, my first time in Port Talbot and I loved the place. Excellent attention

Called In for a quick breakfast. I'm glad I did went away a happy well fed man lol

Cheap and cheerful! Good service and food .

Was a regular here for the Burgers but after going there on Thursday, seeing that they have changed the menu and the burgers for the worst, I will not be coming here again for food. Absolutely shocking the way the burgers have shrunk in size, obviously trying to cut costs but by cutting cost along with poor quality, you will lose customer's!! The tables are always stinking aswell just clean the damm thing's!!

It's my favourite place to have a quiet drink in Port Talbot, friendly staff and a convenient location

Waited 35 mins for my curry. The staff couldn't find my table so they cancelled it 😕 Nice curry though.

A good menu, the food came in good time and it was really nice, I've never been here before, but I will definitely return, Lord Caradog will be my place of choice wenever I'm in Port Talbot 🙂

The pub, staff and atmosphere were very good. BUT my partner who is disabled needed to use the ground floor toilet. What a disgusting state it was in. It completely ruined our visit to this otherwise very good pub.

Nice place with good atmosphere food came quickly and was very nice, staff are polite
