ANOTHER BRIGG BAR REOPENS AFTER LOCKDOWN
Another Brigg bar reopened after lockdown last night (Friday, July 10).
The doors were opened to customers at the Britannia Inn, on Wrawby Street, from 5pm.
Owners Admiral Taverns had indicated that The Brit was planning to reopen this week.
Brigg bars today (Saturday, July 11) are starting their second weekend since being freed from 100+ days of Coronavirus emergency closure by the government.
Last Saturday saw Wetherspoon's White Horse, the Lord Nelson, the Woolpack, the Black Bull and Brigg Town Football Club's licensed Hawthorns clubhouse all reopen on the day when restrictions were lifted across the UK.
They were joined by Brigg & District Servicemen's Club, pictured above, on Coney Court, which took the towels off the pumps on Thursday (July 9) for the first time since late March.
The Hawthorns has opened a new beer garden - part of which is under cover - a welcome provision in view of some of the wet weather Brigg has had to endure in recent weeks!
Last weekend saw Sarah Hardy, landlady of the Woolpack and chairwoman of Brigg Pub Watch (representing local licensees), being joined by her mother and sister. Sarah is in the middle of the picture below which Brigg Blog took on Saturday evening. The 'short' glass was ours, not hers!
Three other bars have yet to inform us of their reopening dates.
