The White Hart, Brigg

featured image from the article: Papist Hall Cottages

A unique luxury waterfront celebration venue, The White Hart Pub has been restored and converted into an exclusive self-catering venue for you to hire.

Hire your very own riverside pub and hotel!
Think of a large farmhouse but instead of a living room you have your own bar…… oh and it has a snug, attached cottage rooms, function area, large kitchen, riverside beer garden and of course the 15 + 2 bedrooms with enough beds to sleep 40.

You will have exclusive use of the whole venue.

Established in 1759 and sitting on the banks of the Old River Ancholme, farmers and traders used to leave their horses and carts in the White Hart pub stables that backed onto Sergeants Brewery. Grand houses ran on both sides, the reading room, Springs factory all now long gone….The White Hart has stood the test of time. In 1978 Ray Neall purchased the pub when it was in a state of disrepair. This was the last time it was renovated, until now!

We have retained the original bar area, increased the large function space, added a high-end kitchen, intimate snugs, games area, landscaped the riverside beer garden and added 15 bedrooms with a further 2 cottage bedroom snugs.

We can be anything you need…. from unforgettable family parties, birthdays and anniversaries to spectacular DIY weddings and seriously impressive corporate events and meetings. Perfect for large groups with a flexible space to hold events throughout the year.

This self-catering venue is attractive to people from all over the country with the capacity alone. Why hire a farmhouse when you can hire your own pub!

Cafe Indie is a cafe, music venue and youth work project.

In the day, we’re a relaxed Cafe hosting a wide range of groups, friends and customers – staffed by our youth work team and young volunteers. In the evening, we become an arts venue – hosting live music, poetry and exhibitions. Please see our website or in house promotional material to see what’s coming up. Underpinning all this, the Cafe is a youth work project. We run various programs for young people including the volunteer program, music development, youth clubs, a drop-in and issue-based sessions. We never forget that our young people are our primary reason for being. Sometimes our customers do, so please remember the person serving you is most likely a volunteer, here for their own development and you can play a role in that. There’s more to the Cafe than you see. Up, upstairs, we have a creative youth work and event space, providing an ideas workshop for the development and progression of our young people. Cafe Indie isn’t about indie music, it’s about being independent.
