The Priory Menswear, Bar & Cafe

Priory has currently achieved 5 years of business with two shops open now, with the original store located on Manor St. and the newer shop located at Victoria Mill. With two shops at disposal, Priory have divided their contents as the Manor St. shop consists of streetwear, skatewear and novelty accessories, whereas the Mill contains premium menswear and accessories. Since the opening of the second shop in 2014, Priory has developed a refined ambience that is accentuated with the company of a barbers and a bar/coffee shop in the same vicinity of Victoria Mill - providing a well needed combination that hasn’t been seen before.

With Linda114 fed up of looking for coffee shop and on way back to car park when we spotted this place. Absolutely fabulous. Four adults 3 Briards (a little wet as well) and not a complaint from the staff. Welcomed in and very well looked after both the hoomans and the dogs. Fabulous place and we will return whenever in Brid. Really appreciated the welcome when most other places were shut. You must pay it a visit, a licensed bar as well as coffee and cakes, a hairdressers and a clothes shop. Deserves every great review it gets..

if you like nature , you will enjoy this walk . A pleasant easy stroll through the woodland with a designated walkway which takes you out on to the cliff top above south landing where you can sit and admire the sea views.

Flamborough Lighthouse

A lighthouse was first built on the Flamborough Headland in 1669 but was never lit. The current lighthouse was built in 1806 and acts as a waypoint for deep sea vessels and coastal traffic as well as marking the Flamborough Headland for vessels heading for the ports of Scarborough and Bridlington. Tours of Flamborough Lighthouse are organised by East Riding of Yorkshire Council under licence from the Corporation of Trinity House.

Visited in early August, we enjoyed great weather, lovely walks around the area, we spent time watching the seals playing, and following the kayaks around the headland, get there early as the car park gets very busy.

Reviewed By stephg159 - Bridlington, United Kingdom

Well worth a visit , we were lucky when we visited as the organ was being played , superb sound. There is soo much history in these old churches you just need to take 'time out' and just wander around. There are people in the church willing to help and answer any questions you have.

The cow shed is a lovely ( posh upmarket ) little cafe with a very good chef delivering delicious food with friendly staff , its a very safe place during this pandemic as they are taking every precaution on our behalf. Yes the food is expensive compared to other cheap and cheerful seaside cafes , but this one isn’t serving you cheap rubbish!!! you get high end restaurant quality food in a lovely stylish environment, so the food and venue is well worth the extra cost . If you want tea in a crappy mug and a burger with no meat in it try somewhere else .

Reviewed By beno590 - Bury, United Kingdom

First full day of a long weekend away with the family and TA showed this as being just 1.5 miles away. Good reviews and decent weather were on our side so off we went. For a small site this has a lot going on. We arrived to see Redwing, Great Tit and Blue Tit leg ringing and the volunteers explained everything to the kids. A bird watching area with attentive and knowledgable helpers was another great way to spend the time and the gift shop is full of informative guides and quality souvenirs rather than the shelves of cheap plastic generic toys that get played with for 5 minutes before being discarded into an ever growing pile. A walk down the hill to the RNLI station was a good breath of fresh air too. Overall a great little find and very pleased we went.

Family entertainment centre, bowling, grand national horse racing and much more.

Reviewed By TILEE123 - Market Weighton, United Kingdom

Me and my wife (and now 10 month old twin boys) have been coming to brid sea front a few times a month for the last 5/6 years as something to do as we live under 40 minutes away and we always come to play the grand national horse racing game and have got to know mark and Andy quite well. They are really good at chatting to people (especially the kids) making them laugh and telling jokes. When we 1st started playing we used to give our tokens we had won to other children thinking we had to use them that day but we found out we could save them up and use them to get bigger and better prizes so that’s what we have started doing. We would play the games then once we had enough we would trade them in. There are also the 2p push slots and grabber machines to play on, slots to win tickets or slots to win money. There is air hockey games to the back of the arcade along with an adults only section where they have bigger slots and games. I like to have a little flutter to see if I can win enough to pay for the trip and today I won £150. (I hope she (the wife) doesn’t read this or she will want it for new shoes) Now with the virus going about they have been very efficient in making hand sanitizer available for everyone to use and the machines are regularly cleaned down to help stop the spread.
