Having closed as a bar in 2012, reopening in August 2020. "Split across two floors, Never for Ever aims to create a space for the community to come together, featuring a ‘common room’ space with live music, home-brewed beers and cocktails on tap."

Pub is keg only as expected and it is not a brewpub as suspected. The "home brews" advertised in the original announcement refers to the lager that is available throughout the chain.

The pub is part of the Urban Leisure Group and the lager is commissioned by them and is brewed for them by Fourpure according to Untappd.

Nice bar, not too different from when it was the Grand Union and the pizza restaurant but definitely no brewery on site. 8 keg beers available on a visit.
