The Exchange, Brigg

The Exchange is a rambling hotel across a large site with several different buildings, including an attractive courtyard area. It now has two separate bars (and a restaurant which has its own small bar for diners). The Doghouse is a cosy wood-panelled place tucked right round the back, with a very traditional hotel feel but smartly modern. It has a pair of handpumps dispensing TT Landlord, with a Beavertown and sundry Eurofizz on the keg taps. Across the yard is Henry's Sports Bar, a much larger, brasher affair with numerous screens but no cask ale. The Doghouse is signed down an alleyway off Wrawby Street, while Henry's is signed off Bigby Street, but they are actually right next to each other in the middle of the site. Unfortunately at early lunchtime it was a struggle getting the Landlord into a glass and it proved to be undrinkable. It might be ok if the beer is in order.
