As below, a three-roomer with two bars - one acts as 'Diya Royal Indian and Gurkha Cuisine'. GK-like livery out front (although it states 'Freehouse') and some colourful characters inside. A couple of screens showed an IPL match on mute with loud reggae music playing from a bartop speaker. I spotted three pumps with Sharp's Doom Bar, Fuller's London Pride (reversed) and a third unclipped in the larger, right-hand bar (separated by a door). No pumps in the left-hand room but a clip for Doom Bar was affixed to a font: £2 for a half and surprisingly OK. Another pub successfully ticked off, but another unlikely to be troubled by myself again.

The Griffin is a corner pub that is on the main road running through Kempston.
Once inside there were three rooms and i had a drink in a smartish lounge which was very comfortable.
This pub is a Greene King tied house and there were two real ales on the bar i had a drink of Greene King XX mild and this was a very nice drink the other beer was Greene King IPA.
I quite liked this pub and was happy enough having a drink in here.
