The Yarborough Hunt, Brigg

Excellent drinking pub, just out of the town centre beyond the Old Ancholme River bridge. Quite a plain yet attractive brick exterior, and although the inside has open refurbished in a light, semi-traditional style, there is still some character to the various small rooms. The eight handpumps were dispensing Abbot, Adnams Ghost Ship citrus pale and Old Peculier, plus three from Lincolnshire Craft - Best Bitter (£3.20), Lincoln Gold and Bomber County - and Old Rosie cider. Also has up to 14 craft keg beers from a row of taps on the bar-back.

An old and quite large plain brick building; in fact, so plain that I thought at first that it was a Sam Smiths pub, but the inside soon disabused me of that notion. It's a multiroomed pub with the bar towards the back with eight hand pumps (see photos). There was one cider and seven real ales at the time of my visit, with three from Tom Wood and the others from Wadworth, Hopback, Moles and Adnams. My half of Moles Best was in good enough condition but a little warm. As well as the hand pumps there were a number of keg taps protruding from the bar back - I dare say they'd have been cold enough. This was just a flying visit to Brigg, but I will be looking into a possible return as this seems a very pleasant pub and there are a few others that may also be of interest.
