I agree about the wash. Appears to be present all the time. Would only consider a brief stop there and would definately not stay overnight. I don't think the local pubs are up to much anyway. I would rather pay my money and go into Shotley as I think the bar in the marina is better than those in most marinas. Paul
Yes, I rather like Shotley too, mostly thanks to the Shipwrecked bar - have had excellent food and beer, and charming service, every time I've been there without fail.
To judge by the Harwich Haven Authority annual lunch, wot I have just come back from by pilot launch, not a mode of transport that I usually enjoy, and which has put me in a very good humour, so this may not be a wholly typical example, the new owners can do quite a good job. I fancy they also own "Le Talbooth". There were some complaints amongst the local luminaries (Chief Constable, District Council chairpersons, trucking company owners, etc) that it was a bit "Nouveau" and "Minimalist", but the food got eaten. Who says there is no such thing as a free lunch?
The piers ok for food, but the Three Anchours a short walk away is better ! BUT halfpenny pier is a total waste trying to moor, supposed to be for visiting yachts but IS always full of local fishing boats. the haven authority don't care thats why most visitors pass Harwich /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
