Harrison’s Hideaway and Smithy’s Bait and Tackle Shop were established in 2016. Both the café and the shop are family run and based in Brigg, North Lincolnshire.
In 2016, Smithy’s Pond had been open for a few years and whilst the local fishermen enjoyed it, it felt as though there was potential to build and create a place for more people to visit. Brigg Angling Centre had closed its doors for the final time, and we saw it as an opportunity to continue to offer ‘all things fishing’ to the local community, given it is such a
popular activity in North Lincolnshire. Smithy’s Bait and Tackle Shop is open every day for all your angling needs, if there is something specific you want us to stock, let us know and we can look into it for you.
Alongside Smithy’s Tackle and Bait Shop, we decided to open Harrison’s Hideaway for a number of reasons. Firstly, as a family, we thoroughly enjoy cooking and wanted to share some of our traditional family recipes, which find their way onto our ‘Specials Board’ from week to week. Secondly, we wanted to create a welcoming space for the people of Brigg and surrounding areas, to meet up and enjoy good coffee and food. We aimed to make the café a cosy place to visit in the winter and a place to enjoy the sunshine in the warmer months. Finally, it gave us the opportunity to
support small businesses in North Lincolnshire, by creating recipes using locally sourced produce. Newell’s of Brigg are responsible for our tasty Lincolnshire sausage and other high-quality meat, and Booth’s Farm Shop provides our fresh vegetables.
Whilst our savoury menu is popular with all that visit us - we are currently #1 on Trip Advisor for Breakfast in Brigg, our cakes are the real showstopper! We always have a fresh Victoria Sponge, Chocolate Cake, and Coffee and Walnut Cake on the counter, as well as a ‘Cheesecake of
the Week’. Our cake counter is full of treats that change from week to week. You can buy cake by the slice, or pre-order a personalised cake for events and parties, see ‘The Cakeaway’ section of our website for details.
Aside from the café, Harrison’s Hideaway also offers Buffets for special occasions (see our ‘Buffet Blog’ for info), Afternoon Teas (pre-order only at present), and room hire for your meetings and events. Please contact us directly by telephone, email, or social media to discuss further.
