Brigg Restaurant Guide

This “super-friendly” gastroboozer-with-rooms is a “great place to meet and eat”, where “the views of the Humber are excellent”. On the food front, the zero-waste ethos rules, with sorrel and wild garlic foraged from Broughton Woods, and kelp from Robin Hood’s Bay (carnivorous ingredients are dry-aged then finished on the Josper grill). Add in “good prices”, and it’s an ongoing hit.

2022 Review: “Amazing breakfast” and “great coffee” keep the regulars coming back to this all-day café “with gorgeous views of Hull Marina”. “The chairs are a bit on the wonky side, but that definitely adds some quirky charm”. Top tip: “the chorizo ragu with fried eggs”.

2023 Review: “Good food overlooking the marina” is reported in all accounts of this swish contemporary Indian. Even someone who feels its expensive-looking styling is “all a bit too grand for its own good” says “the food is well cooked and comes in generous portions”.

“Situated in the market square almost in the shadow of Holy Trinity Church, now called Hull Minster”, a charming spot in a charming part of town comprising a downstairs bakery (the setting for brunch) and upstairs dining room turning out a “good and imaginative range of small and large plates”. It’s run by a trio of “Northern hipsters with skilled palates, good attitude and a lot of soul”, as a delighted Giles Coren put it in his May 2024 review: chef Ryan Telford, manager Ian Pexton and baker Caitlin Ogden, who previously oversaw afternoon teas at The Ritz.
