BRIGG EATERY IN LINE FOR BUSY NEW YEAR

 

There's a new eatery in Brigg that's a shade off the beaten track. But it's certainly  in line for a busy 2017.

Harrison's Hideaway cafe is located at Smithy's Pond. And in addition to meeting the needs of visiting anglers, it is also catering for many workers on the nearby Island Carr industrial estate, plus folk from the town looking for a decent breakfast or a snack.

Brigg Blog paid an early afternoon visit at the invitation of proprietor Mick Smith, the well-known local businessman.

To find the eatery, exit Bridge Street and drive to the end of Island Carr Road, then turn right.

The entrance to the pond and cafe is about 100 yards along on the left, and is signposted.

It's not difficult to find, but if you are a sat-nav owner go to DN20 8PD.

The contact number is 01652 653940, and opening hours are 7.30pm to 2pm.

Further to our earlier reference to "snack" we should add that we watched a customer being served with the biggest jacket potato, with topping, we've seen for many a year!

The building housing the cafe, pictured above, also contains a bait and fishing tackle shop.

You may recall that the Island Carr estate once had Piggy's Cafe - located halfway along the main entrance road.
