Quinno _ left this review about The David Protheroe (JD Wetherspoon)

Conveniently located Spoons opposite the train station. An awkwardly laid-out interior which does at least allow for a number of different seating options, with a light and bright area at the far end being the best. Fairly bland interior, light blue shades. Four guest ales with two local and my Glamorgan Cwrw Gorslas was in good nick (NBSS 3.5) as befits the GBG listing. Friendly barmaid and swift service given how busy they were on a Saturday mid-afternoon with both app orders arriving within a few minutes. A well-run provincial Spoons.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The David Protheroe (JD Wetherspoon)

Quite an interesting-looking building, located directly opposite the station, but inside there is a rather jumbled layout that is difficult to navigate when busy (which it was on a Saturday afternoon). Semi-modern furniture and decor of no real distinction. Small side patio. Fair selection of real ales and a couple of festival ciders from the two banks of five handpumps, with the Oystermouth stout from the Mumbles Brewery (£2.15) standing out.

This place was originally a police station and apparently is named after Neath's first policeman. It's just across the road as you leave Neath railway station.
It's on the small size by Wetherspoon's standards and is the usual single room but with some alcoves.
The bar has two sets of five hand pumps which on my visit had two ciders, the two GK beers, Rhymney Export, Maxim Maximus, Doom Bore, Broadside, Gower Rumour and Beartown Black Bear. I went for the Gower Rumour (£1.99) which was hazy but OK apart from that. It is GBG 2015 listed.
