BRIGG BLOG'S WEEKEND PUB & CLUB ROUND-UP: FOOD, DRINK & FOOTBALL

Will the forthcoming Euro 2020 'round of 16' England v Germany football match affect Brigg pub attendances this weekend?
When England's qualifying group games were played, many people went to local bars to watch big screen coverage in preference to their usual Saturday night outs spent visiting town centre hostelries.
England's match on Tuesday (June 29) at Wembley Stadium, London, kicks off at 5pm and Brigg's bars will be very busy as a result. But how many people's 'beer budgets' will stretch to an extra night out following this weekend? Hopefully, pub-goers will still be able to make it to their 'local' on Tuesday, regarding England v Germany as a special case!
Tonight's scheduled 'gig' at the Woolpack by singer Lauren - previewed in an earlier blog post - has been postponed until later in the year (date to be confirmed). Lauren has made previous appearances at this Market Place venue. We'll let Brigg Blog followers know the date of her return booking once it has been finalised.
Trade at Brigg Town Football Club's Hawthorns bar and adjoining Pips Kitchen eatery is in for a boost.
They will be open today (Saturday, June 26) for the Zebras' first pre-season friendly against Grimsby Borough (1pm KO).
More trade is to follow now the club has received a home tie in the first round draw for the Toolstation Northern Counties East League Cup 2021/22. The Zebras will host Hallam FC (date yet to be confirmed).
Hallam, from Sheffield, are the second oldest surviving football club in the world, while Brigg Town are seventh on the list. So this season's cup-tie, when it takes place, will be an historic encounter!
The Yarborough Hunt, on Bridge Street, which does not normally offer food, is to be visited by Angelo's mobile pizza service on Friday, July 2, from 5pm to 8pm. Book tables now by calling the pub on 01652 658333.
