Spring 2016
The Britannia, Brigg
Our Spring Pub of the Season award goes to the Britannia in Brigg. Following a complete
refurbishment of the premises, the Britannia has reopened as a restaurant/pub serving
an array of drinks including four cask ales.
The pub is owned by Marstons Brewery, three of
the beers will be from the Marstons range plus one
featured guest ale. Beers at the time of our visit were Wychwood Hobgoblin
and Marston's Burton Bitter,
EPA and the stronger Old Empire IPA (5.7% ABV).
The pub has two drinking/eating areas - the main
bar area serves the largest room with its tables, nooks
and armchairs, and there is a separate room that can
also be used to host functions and smaller parties, as
well as being an additional area to drink/eat.
The food is good quality pub grub
with emphasis on the chef specials to provide additional
interest to the menu.
Opening times at the Britannia are:
Mon-Thurs 11am-11pm; Fri/Sat 11-12.30am; Sun
12 noon-11pm
Times for food time are: Mon-Fri 12 noon-3pm
and 6-9pm; Sundays 12 noon-8pm
The landlord is Calvin Dow, whose parentsonce ran the Britannia
themselves, so this for him is like owning a piece
of his past. He also runs a pub in Skipton, so when
Calvin's not in Brigg he has his appointed
landlady Tabatha Johnson (who has moved from
Skipton to live in the area), to take the helm who received the award presented on
Wednesday 4th May.
