- Fountain Inn on Woodfield Street in Morriston
- Hen Dderwen in Sketty Park
- Old Inn in Penllergaer
- Plough and Harrow in Murton

Peter Constantine, managing director of the Avison Young’s leisure team who are handling the sale, said: “This is a rare opportunity to acquire a large, high-quality package of public houses located in strong trading positions across Wales. They benefit from a secure income stream let to an excellent covenant. We anticipate significant levels of demand as packages of this quality rarely come to the market.”
The move comes after the historic Welsh brewery handed over the running of all of it’s 156 Welsh pubs to national brewery chain Marston’s in January this year.
SA Brain is also looking to sell its Cardiff brewing operation.
