A refreshing newcomer to the town circuit, named after the former store premises it now occupies rather than the Rhymney Valley town. Much dark wood in evidence and clever use of mirrors make the interior look large that it is. Local colliery history is displayed on the walls and there is a star corner with pictures of film stars. An added attraction is the sheltered sunken garden terrace. Typical of most JD Wetherspoon outlets it has become a social hub and has introduced hitherto rare ales to an area where real ale was in danger of fading away.
