Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Crafty Pig

Modern bar in three small parts: general seating in the counter area, a narrow lounge (raised by a single step) along the frontage and a dining room with some rustic booths at the back. No real ale, but two regular Beavertown beers plus Camden Hills, Innis & Gunn Mangoes and Clwb Tropicana from Tiny Rebel (£6.25, ouch!).

Don't be put off by the outside of this bar, with loads of lowlifes hanging around the doorway and bus stop, it's rather better on the inside. It's all one room, but with 2 areas. The rear left has several booths that are used by diners. The front area is mainly standard dining tables and chairs. Interesting walls with lots of pig jokes on them. No real ale, but Meantime Pale craft keg did a decent enough job, although it was £2.15 for a half. I've been in a lot worse places than this, it's OK for a quick one.

This is now called The Crafty Pig. From what I saw its a cafe style layout with a bar to your left as you enter. No real to be found with only foreign keg beers on draught, these including Kozel, Estrella, Urquell, flibbybrau and flobbybeir. There was only 1 room that I saw.
