REVIEWING THE FIRST WEEK SINCE BRIGG PUB BEER GARDENS REOPENED AFTER LOCKDOWN

Brigg pubs were permitted to reopen after lockdown one week ago - offering beer garden 'table service' only.
The first seven days were graced by some fine sunny weather which encouraged many people to visit local hostelries, including licensed clubs.
Saturday (April 17) was particularly busy with wise drinkers attending during the afternoon and early evening before the sun went down and the temperature dipped to 5C.
Many people met up with old friends (observing social distancing) for the first time in four months.
We called in at the Yarborough Hunt, on Bridge Street, and the Dying Gladiator, on Bigby Street, where customers were complying with the 'test & trace' system requirements - tendering their details to be recorded by staff in written form or using the Government's mobile phone 'app' they had downloaded.
The Lord Nelson and Wetherspoon's White Horse have also been offering meals, served in their beer gardens, since lockdown was lifted. Brigg  takeaways have benefitted from the increased 'footfall' within the town centre.

Word got round on social media about us venturing out on Saturday wearing a red and white Christmas jumper. This resulted in some comments. Just to explain... this was done to show long it had been since nights out at the pub were permitted (the festive season).
