The Discovery
About
The Discovery in the heart of Cardiff’s Roath Park is a celebrated 1960s pub that marries a daring sense of adventure with a warm, family‑friendly vibe. Built in the 1960s and named after Captain Robert Scott’s Antarctic vessel, the pub stands as a living tribute to exploration while offering a relaxed bar area, a comfortable restaurant zone and a large airy function room available for private hire. Guests can enjoy a menu featuring locally sourced Welsh ingredients, generous portions, and value‑driven prices. On most evenings the venue hosts lively live music and sports broadcasts, creating a vibrant atmosphere for both locals and visitors. During December the Discovery transforms with a special festive 3‑course Christmas menu priced at £35 a person, while its open‑room layout and proximity to the park make it an ideal spot for holiday celebrations. The pub’s welcoming rooms, excellent service and rich history make it a staple of Cardiff nightlife and a favourite for families, couples and music aficionados alike.
