The Great Western (JD Wetherspoon), Cardiff

What a gorgeous building! It was visible from my train as it pulled into Cardiff Central station, but with it being a Wetherspoons I wasn't sure about whether or not to call in for a beer and went into the city centre. On my way back I found myself with a few minutes to spare so thought I might as well have a half, so I approached the bar and asked for a half of Brains SA (the others being SA Gold, plus the usual Trio of Doom). I was surprised to be presented with a pint of beer and asked to pay £2.59 for it. Another person standing nearby confirmed that he had heard me ask for a half, so the lass behind the bar poured half of the contents into the smaller glass, with not very good grace, it seemed to me. I may have to go back to my former policy of ignoring Wetherspoons pubs, as I rarely have a good experience in them. Date of visit: 5th October 2017
