Square Meal review of Crusting Pipe:

The Crusting Pipe is a Dickensian wine bar lit by flickering candles, with sawdust-strewn floors. Today’s punters are just as likely to be tourists enthusing about the sheer Eliza Doolittle-ness of the surroundings (her flower stall was located across the piazza) as suits moaning about office politics. Crusting Pipe’s name refers to the 150-gallon barrel used to make crusted port. So, alongside the expected selection of port, you’ll find sherry, Madeira & real ale, & around 50 serviceable wines covering diverse styles & regions. Hearty food includes grilled meats as well as seafood & salads, taken at tables that spill into a courtyard where live music, dance & opera are occasionally performed.
