'No TVs, no loud music' - How the owner of Newport's newest micro-pub is going back to basics
The owner of Newport's newest - and possibly smallest - pub is hoping to take things back to basics with his latest venture.
Just five weeks after Darren Wood secured the keys to a vacant retail unit on Newport's High Street, The Stag & Scotch Micropub was open for business.
Darren isn't a stranger to Newport's pub scene, having run Joule's Brewery's The New Inn on Stafford Road for several years from 2015.
After the stint with Joule's, Darren took two and a half years away, running Red Rooster Events.
The events company organises a number of music and food festivals, including the Water's Edge Festival at Chetwynd Deer Park, and provides bars for larger events including the Newport Show.
