Cask Ale Real Cider

Opened by Salford's Pomona Island brewery in 2023. It is one long room with the bar opposite as you enter. Wood panelling along the walls and freestanding panels with various historic prints on the wall it has been finished to high standard. A stepped main entrance means there is no disabled access but thereafter everything is on one level.

There are 5 cask lines and 22 keg lines. These are in 2 banks of 11 either side of the handpulls. Currently those on the right bank serve pale ales and fruit beers whilst those on the left serve sour beers, dark beers and oddities. We are advised cask is £3/pt on Mondays at Sept 25, let us know if this changes.

Payment is by card only.

It’s name harks back to a legendary old pub ship that was moored at Pomona Docks in Manchester during the 1970’s. Bar snacks include; PJ Howarth's of Flixton pork pie with piccalilli and Pickled egg with salt and pepper hot sauce.
