Steve C left this review about The Yarborough Hunt
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.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Yarborough Hunt
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.

The Yarborough Hunt is an old pub on the western edge of the main town centre. It's the brewery tap for the local Tom Woods brewery and is a long narrow room with a wider area at the front and the bar on the right. There is a snug at the back left and an enclosed patio garden. It was quiet on my Tuesday afternoon visit.
The bar has nine hand pumps which had one unused Tom Wood's Best, Lincoln Gold & Bomber County, Old Golden Hen, Marston's Old Empire, Directors, Brakspear Oxford Gold and a cider. I went for the Bomber County (£3.30) which was in good nick. This is certainly a good place to come to try Tom Wood's ales. My only slight reservation is that the guest ales were rather mainstream but there may be a good reason for that. It's GBG 2017 listed.

Lovely pub and so far the best for ale in Brigg, it is a lovely old multi room building with excellent and friendly staff, is the brewery Tap for Tom Wood Ales with usually 5 on handpull and varying in the Wood range as many are seasonal, and another 3 handpulls with varying beers on.
Cosy inside and nicely decorated, very comfortable to sit in, smoking/patio/beer garden to the rear. Excellent staff and friendly landlord.
