RESIDENTS ENJOYING VISITS TO NEWEST BAR IN BRIGG

Residents are enjoying popping into a new bar in Brigg to sample its range of real ales.
It is not open to the general public but is there to serve residents of the Orchard Court Care Home.
A spokeswoman for the home on Wrawby Road told Brigg Blog: "During the pandemic and lockdown, our wonderful residents were unable to get out to socialise as they would during normal times.
"Our Home Manager, Tracy Mussett, thought it would be a good idea to erect a building in the grounds of our home for our residents to be able to get that 'going out experience' whilst keeping safe from Covid-19.
"The maintenance team of Orchard Court & Jasmine Healthcare purposely built a bar/pub for our wonderful residents.
"It has been a great success and has made a difference to our residents' well-being.
"Residents are able to socialise with their loved ones in the pub during visits.
As a home we have kept our residents safe from Covid with not one case amongst them.
"Team Orchard have gone above and beyond during the past two years throughout the pandemic to ensure that the well-being of our residents has not been affected."
Orchard Court has kindly supplied the above picture showing one of the residents behind the bar, which is called Rainbow’s End.
For further information about this home, call 01652 653845.
Brigg Blog (and others living locally who like real ales) will be interested to see a fine cask selection on-pump here - Black Tor Resolution, Directors and Old Speckled Hen, plus a range of bottled drinks including Church's Ginger Wine and Bailey's Original.
