The Yarborough Hunt, Brigg

A quite pleasant pub at the edge of town, with numerous small rooms, all brightly done up in a sort of modern farmhouse style. The ale selection looked interesting, and there were a couple of craft kegs and some useful mainland Europe brews also. The cask choice was Tiny Rebel Juicy, Skinners Cornish Knocker, Butcombe Original and Black Sheep Best but sadly my Butcombe was not in the best of condition so it loses a mark.

The entrance of the Yarborough Hunt opens onto a small tile floored area with a small log fire on the left-hand wall. There are carpeted seating areas either side of the entrance, with the right-hand side being more interesting with its exposed brick fireplace and stove. The tiles run from the entrance up the centre of the pub to the bar area at the rear where a counter runs along the right-hand wall. There are multiple craft keg fonts along the back bar and the counter supports eight hand pumps that were drawing GK Abbot Ale, Bateman’s XB and Titanic’s Plum Porter alongside three offerings from Lincolnshire Craft Brewers, Best, Bomber County and Lincoln Gold. Weston’s Old Rosie was also available for the cider drinkers. The pub had only just opened so I was the only customer, but the service was polite as the landlady got on with setting up the pub for the day. There are no televisions and there was no background music, so I was just left with my thoughts while I supped on a great pint of Porter. I would have liked to have stayed longer.
