Pomona Island, one of Manchester’s most feted craft breweries, is to open its very first pub. The boozer will be called North Westward Ho, and will be on Pall Mall, above the historic Sam’s Chop House.
The brewery team are in the process of renovating the space, which used to be occupied by Thai restaurant Chaophraya.
“We want the space to feel like a pub, not a bar and we want all the good things that come with that,” they said. “Pub spaces are for anyone, places where people come to commune, we need a bit of that right now. We want it to feel inclusive.
