Shack, Manchester

After a period of closure the Blue Pig has now reopened. From memory there were a couple of real ales, we went for the Blonde by Ticketybrew when visiting at the end of last month. Towards the end of the night so my memory is a little hazy. I do, however, remember that the Blonde was pretty nice.

A sort of bistro styled place. Had 3 handpumps but only 2 on. The ceiling is covered in chalk scrawl (or whatever they use).

called in for the first time nicely surprised bit dimly lite for me the food looked good and not a bad price will call back

Looks good, and I love the blue pig sign outside, it is obvious that someone has put a great deal of time and effort into creating a theme variation to the venues in this area. It's worth popping your head around the door just for this alone. All they need to do now is employ staff that like customers and aren't so far up their own bottoms.
