The John Wallace Linton (JD Wetherspoon), Newport

Very standard Spoons by numbers near the station, nothing to see here

As noted below this is an old school Spoons with the old blue and gold plastic signage and consisting of a large square room with the bar on the left and typical fixtures and fittings. After I arrived here people started drifting back from the rugby match in Cardiff but they were a harmless and friendly enough crowd. The beer choice wasn't that great as after stripping out the JDW Trio Of Doom and ciders there was just the Shepherd Neame Todd the Axeman and Mumbles Oystermouth Stout. I went for the Todd the Axeman (£2.30) which was in very good nick. For me none of the Newport Spoons were much good but this and the Godfrey Morgan were the better of the (current) four.
