The Wyndham Arms Hotel (JD Wetherspoon), Bridgend

Old school faux Victoriana Spoons in a statement building. Comedy South Walian doormen who were doing a passable impression of Max & Paddy. Disappointingly just two (disappointing) ales - GK and Doom Bar - so I went for a new one of the foreign louts, Tusker (which was pretty good). Service was fine. Probably a decent Spoons when not in the fag-end of COVID regs; it was rammed, so clearly popular.

A large Spoons hotel dominating the centre of the pedestrianised shopping area. The bar is in traditional style with a calming cream and wood colour scheme, extending through three large rooms. Ales included 4 Welsh beers alongside the usual suspects.

Substantial old inn, now a Wetherspoon hotel so retaining that tradition. Partly opened out and totally refitted in the usual way, leaving a variety of seating / dining areas in an overall 'L' shape around a rather cramped three-part bar counter. Mixed selection of real ales from a total of nine handpumps, with the more interesting offerings all being of higher strength, but my Boss Black stout (£1.08, half) was in fine form.
