Red Dragon Pubs acquires two more sites

Red Dragon Pubs has added two new pubs to its portfolio: the Pemberton in Burry Port, Camarthenshire, and the Gwesty in Brynmawr, Blaenau Gwent.

Following the group's official launch at its Aubrey Arms in Ystradgynlais last month, Red Dragon Pubs now owns 10 pubs in the Swansea and Gwent Valleys, with plans to expand its portfolio further in the coming months.

The company is overseen by entrepreneur James Hunt who, along with a group of investors, have ambitions to acquire and invest in pubs across south Wales.

Its portfolio also includes the Mill House in Morriston, the Other Place in Pontardawe, the Tregib Arms in Ammanford, and the Old Glais Inn, Glais, as well as the Red Lion in Brecon, the Doll's House in Abertillery and the Torbay Inn in Llandeilo.

Hunt said: "We are hugely ambitious and believe there is a great opportunity to create a Welsh pub company, fit for the people of Wales that everyone is proud of.

"We want Red Dragon Pubs to be a recognisable part of every Welsh community and, with 10 pubs acquired so far, we certainly believe that we are on our way to achieving this."
