Croeso Pubs serves one million pints in 2025

A Welsh pub company is celebrating a major milestone after serving its one millionth pint of the year.

Croeso Pubs, which operates nine venues across the region, reached the landmark at the start of December, rounding off what has been a bumper year for the independent operator.

One million pints is enough to fill the equivalent of approximately 3,800 bathtubs.

"Reaching our one millionth pint of the year is a huge moment for us," says Croeso Pubs area director Michael Haygarth. "It’s a testament to our brilliant teams across all nine venues and the loyal customers who choose to spend their time with us week in, week out."

Looking forward

Croeso’s portfolio includes Brewhouse, Philharmonic, Blue Bell, Retro, The Dock, The Discovery, The Bear’s Head, The Cricketers and Daffodil, with each venue contributing to the impressive total through a busy calendar of events, community support and consistent footfall throughout the year.

As well as pouring its one millionth pint, Croeo Pubs is also celebrating the biggest ever weekly sales at The Philharmonic – a record that was broken just three weeks after its Autumn Internationals turnouts. 

"We’re incredibly proud of the atmosphere and sense of community that’s been created across our pubs and venues, and this milestone really reflects the support we continue to receive across South Wales," adds Haygarth. "Hitting the milestone at the start of December sets Croeso up perfectly for the festive season, traditionally one of the busiest times of year for the hospitality sector, and we look forward to raising a glass to an even bigger 2026."
