JD Wetherspoon has opened a new pub in Brigg - only its second outlet in North Lincolnshire, the other being in Scunthorpe.
The national chain has revamped and extended the 18th century White Horse, in the town centre, to provide value-for-money food and drink.The pub opened yesterday (Tuesday) and welcomed a huge number of customers.
Real ale starts at £1.99 a pint and breakfasts from little more than £3.
The "new" White Horse has a huge beer garden at the back which will be a real sun-trap during the summer.
On Saturdays it is still possible to get a train from Cleethorpes and Grimsby (via Barnetby) to Brigg to take a look at the new Wetherspoon hostelry and the town's market and niche shops.
Passenger trains do not call at Brigg on other days of the week.
However, for those driving over from North East Lincolnshire to sample the White Horse, Brigg has an extensive town centre car park, with concessionary free periods available.
JD Wetherspoon has painted a distinctive White Horse on the side of the building to alert those passing by on the A18 to the pub's location within a one-way system in Wrawby Street.
The pub no longer has customer car parking - spaces having been used for the greatly extended pub.
In keeping with other JD Wetherspoon outlets, the White Horse will be staging regular curry and steak nights, plus Fish Fridays.
