The new La Finca Spanish-themed restaurant in Brigg Market Place, which has been opening on selected dates since October - all sold out - has arranged another for the new year.
A Big Paella Night is coming up on Friday, January 31, with wine-tasting sessions a feature of the evening.
La Finca, pictured, is based on the ground floor of the landmark Angel building, adjoining the Cafe Courtyard.
The Woolpack - in the Market Place - is now promoting its recently introduced fast food service. Banners reveal pizzas available from £5.99p or two for £11, hot dogs from £3.99p, and burger and chips from £4.99p.
With Christmas and New Year now behind us, the Jolly Miller pub & restaurant on Brigg Road, Wrawby, is already making plans for Valentine's Day.
On Friday and Saturday, February 14 and 15, the venue is offering a special three-course menu at £29.50p a head. Bookings are now being taken - call 01652 655658.
We've now been informed that the post-Christmas friendly football match at Brigg Town FC, followed by bar games in the licensed Hawthorns clubhouse bar, raised £500 in total. The proceeds will be presented to a coronary care/heart charity in the new year.
Organiser Jon Taylor has furnished Brigg Blog with the following report...
Over 32 footballers and many more in the crowd and the bar turned up on Friday 27th December at Brigg Town FC for the annual Old Briggensians football game.
The teams were the under 28’s v the over 28’s and the latter included a number of familiar faces such as Col Mumby, Daz Jordon, Dave Jordon, Paul Neal and Mark Morris to name a few.
The game was closely contested and the old boys enjoyed much of the possession but the younger counterparts were more clinical in front of goal and ended up 3-0 winners but 2 of them were late Christmas presents from the goalkeeper, G Duncan. It must be said, though, that the keeper had performed 2 David de Gea class saves in the game.
At the end all 32 gave a round of applause in memory of Adrian Gibbons. All players contributed to charity to play and we managed to collect £500 on the day that will be given to a cardiac charity chosen by Mrs Jane Gibbons.
Everyone then went in the bar to play darts, dominoes, 5’s and 3’s, pool, a boat race, quiz and heading the ping pong ball.
A few secret weapons arrived for the darts such as J Taylor Senior.
The old boys won overall and everyone had a great day.
Thanks to Brigg Town for their hospitality and to Robbie Hall for organising the referee and assistants who were all microphoned up for the occasion.!
