Ahh, the perennial question.....
Levington - Ship Inn is resurrected but not seemingly to the old quality standard that milady and I enjoyed a few years back.

A sailing friend visited the Bristol Arms last week and advised it is a lot cleaner than it used to be and the Adnams and food pretty good.
He also advised the Alba (Harwich) was good although I wasn't overly impressed when I visited on Good Friday but it was extremely busy so perhaps I am being a little harsh to judge.

Try Fox`s Marina Yacht Club on Friday / Saturday evenings or any lunchtime, the Sunday roast is popular

If you could do something about this 'no dogs' bollox I might revisit.
Ok to bring my dog then, he's had the chop!

Saify curry restaurant at Harwich and a free night at Halfpenny pier if you leave before 9am, otherwise it's about £8. Dogs welcome.

Presumably dogs are ok outside - but not inside?

But if you sit outside, the risk is from secondary lung disease rather than rabies.

In the summer the shelter only has a roof + many more tables on the terrace too

So, we're welcome as long as it's not cold/dark and it doesn't rain?
And none of our dogs smoke

The Bristol Arms was taken over by a young couple towards the end of last year. I've visited twice since then and the food has been excellent on both occasions, first time as a party of four then as a party of eight. Some items on the menu are on the pricey side but having talked to the chef and his wife on both occasions they are trying to do quality food and not just "pub grub"
I haven't eaten in the Shipwreck for some time but some members of my YC did recently and said the food was "reasonable" for the price............. I believe, from what they said, that prices have reduced from what they were a couple of years ago.

Afraid I see it as dogs not welcome so pretty much rules the place out for in season visits from me, shame really as I quite like the place :ambivalence:
