NEW BRIGG MENU GIVES US FOOD FOR THOUGHT

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!
