Many Brigg households are receiving glossy
leaflets advertising the new menu at the Bella Pizzeria Takeaway at the corner
of Princes Street and Bigby Street.
We wish them well and trust the campaign will generate additional business.
Glancing through this selection of fast food set Brigg Blog
thinking about how things have changed in this regard.
Decades ago it was a rare treat to get fish and chips from
Evy’s (Glebe Road), Neall’s (Coney Court), Jack Wattam’s or Morris’s (Wrawby
Street) or the chippie near the Ancholme Inn, on the Corner of Grammar School
Road and Preston Drive. No delivery to the door, of course, you went to the
shop and queued.
Some folk back then would have a cuppa in K’s Corner Café or
the Bridge Street Café but there wasn’t the level of “eating out” during the day
that there is today.
This was perhaps due to two factors:
- There was less disposable income
- People had been raised in an era when everyone, just about, cooked at home and ate at home.
Today in Brigg you can take away many types of takeaway, or
have them delivered to the door.
The Raj, Bengal Spice and Diya Spice offer the spiciest.
Things have certainly moved on since the 1970s when our first taste of Indian
cuisine was a Vesta packet curry!
