FAMILIAR FACES RETURN TO BRIGG PUBS
Brigg Blog and other pub customers in the town are pleased to see two familiar faces back behind the bar in local hostelries.
After some time away for different reasons, Shane Garrett is again welcoming customers to the Britannia Inn, on Wrawby Street, while Lucy Fensome is back at the Yarborough Hunt, on Bridge Street.
The staff have done a good job keeping things ticking over at both hostelries while the popular mine hosts have been away.
We gather that Lucy will not be returning full time until the New Year.
Some regulars at the Britannia get a bit tounge-tied and a little confused as Shane Garrett is the landlord and Shaun Garrett the chef at The Brit Kitchen.
Now colder and wetter weather is with us, both these pubs will benefit from previous investment in their beer gardens.
The Britannia has an extensive covered seating area where those who enjoy a smoke can keep dry and relatively warm as they feed their habit, while the Yarborough's cabanas (wooden huts) at the back of the premises provide a cosy place for small groups to meet up for a chat.
