Chris Soley, chief executive at Camerons Brewery, said “Cardiff is a wonderful city and we have been looking to find a suitable location for a The Head of Steam venue here for some time. We are delighted to have found a venue right in the heart of the city and we feel our range of beers and foods will complement the fantastic array of pubs and bars in the area. The pub is situated close to the Principality Stadium so will benefit from the many major events held at this great arena”
Chris said. “We are really moving at a rapid pace in terms of pub expansions and this will be the sixth new venue we have opened in 2018. We are still looking at a number of other potential sites across the UK and hope to open a couple more before the end of the year” Chris added. The brewer opened its 15th The Head of Steam venue in Birmingham on the 7th June.
