The Clive pub in Cardiff has re-opened as part of Greene King Pub Partner’s franchise concept, Nest Pubs, following a £350,000 investment.
Located on Cowbridge Road East in Canton, the Clive has been fully refurbished, including new furniture and décor as well as a newly developed sports area with four new dart boards featuring two interactive darts lanes.
The pub garden has also been enhanced through the investment, making it fit for year-round use.
Pipeline of investment
As a Nest Pub, the Clive will offer Sky Sports and TNT Sports alongside a regular calendar of entertainment ranging from pub quizzes to live music and karaoke.

The Clive will be operated by franchisee Nathan Sutton, who is local to Cardiff and has operated several pubs in the city, bringing a strong knowledge of the local pub scene.
Sutton said: “We are so proud to become the first Greene King franchise operators in Wales!
“Thanks to the investment of Greene King, the Clive has been fully renovated and refurbished and we cannot wait to reopen for the local community.”
The Clive marked the first of a pipeline of openings in Wales planned for this year and Greene King Pub Partners’ 30th Nest pub.
Actively searching
Greene King operations director Penny Bruce added: “It is wonderful to have our franchise business up and running in Wales for the first time.
“As we continue to grow our franchise business through our Nest Pubs and Hive Pubs concepts, we see the opportunity for more franchise pubs in Wales.
“Hive Pubs and Nest Pubs provide a cost-effective and straightforward way to run your own pub business with a full suite of support from Greene King.
“We are actively searching for franchise Partners in Wales, Scotland and England. Anyone with pub management experience who is interested in running their own pub business should get in touch.”
