Discover the newest member of the Croeso Pubs family

We are thrilled to announce the grand reopening of The Discovery Pub in Cardiff’s Lakeside area, now under the new ownership of Croeso Pubs. Following our acquisition of this renowned establishment, The Discovery has undergone a major refurbishment, breathing new life into the venue.

The Discovery was previously operated by Knife and Fork Food, which listed its six venues for sale last year. We are excited to add this beloved local pub to our growing portfolio.

At Croeso Pubs, we pride ourselves on revitalizing well-loved venues. Our Cardiff-based hospitality group already includes six popular spots: Philharmonic, Brewhouse, Retro, Blue Bell, Daffodil, and the Dock in Cardiff Bay. Our successful track record includes the 2017 reopening of the Philharmonic after a full refurbishment and the transformation of 33 Windsor Place into our proudly Welsh gastropub Daffodil in December 2022.

In January of last year, we also welcomed the Dock in Cardiff Bay to our family, and recently celebrated the 10th anniversary of our acclaimed live music venue Brewhouse.

Our directors are enthusiastic about the potential of The Discovery. Simon Little commented, “We are enjoying huge success at our establishments in central Cardiff and Cardiff Bay. The Discovery has huge potential to be a bustling community pub and it’s fantastic to add it to the Croeso pubs family.”

Craig Davies added, “When we heard the lease was up for sale in June, we didn’t hesitate. It’s always been a popular gastro pub for the locals, and we look forward to welcoming visitors to sample some of the best locally-sourced food and drink.”

We invite you to come and experience the newly renovated Discovery Pub, where we are committed to offering an exceptional pub experience with a focus on community and quality.
