BRIGG FOLK NEED NOT MISS OUT ON THEIR SUNDAY ROAST

Some pubs in the Brigg area - forced to close their doors to visiting customers during the Coronavirus emergency - are delivering meals to the door.
They include the Jolly Miller, on Brigg Road, Wrawby, which did very good trade last Sunday (Mother's Day). You can pay cash on delivery or settle up online for your roast dinner or other choice from the menu, including pizza.
Contact the pub through Facebook - Jolly Miller Wrawby - or call 01652 655658.
The government has waived planning requirements to allow pubs to offer a takeaway service without having to go through the length process of applying for 'change of use' for their premises.
Brigg and district takeaway premises have an exemption under the current government restrictions.
Restaurants have been required to close their doors to sit-down diners but some in Brigg are offering a takeaway service, including the Mumbai Lounge, on Old Courts Road, we've been informed.
It's takeaways only for the time being from the Scalinis fish restaurant, in the Market Place, with home deliveries being available if you want them.
Blyton Dairy Ice Cream's parlour on Wrawby Street, Brigg, is not currently accepting customers onto the premises but is delivering takeaway ice creams and drinks.
Spare a thought for Brigg's Andrew Devai, pictured below, who established a mobile catering business, called The Snack Shack, in December, located in the Dying Gladiator beer garden and serving burgers and other fast food items to hungry customers at weekends. All pubs have been closed under emergency measures introduced by the government. We took this picture of Andrew on the last day before the ban came into force.

We should also reflect on the sad situation facing Brigg licensees. On Friday, March 20 we took this picture of Sarah Hardy closing the front door of her Woolpack Hotel, in the Market Place, on the night the ban came in. She chairs the Brigg & District Pub Watch, representing local hostelries.
