| No Harwich Town Ales on my visit :( However, there were 4 ales on with Adnams Lighthouse being the most local and top draw. Also tried was York Terrier Bitter - not all that I'm afraid - the two other were Xmas variety ales. Accommodation - £40 but not en-suite, clean though but on my visit Karaoke until early hours of morning (though to be fair I was pre-warned at booking stage) and very boisterous in the corridor outside room - earplugs ensured some sleep. Had beans on toast for breakfast so not really in a position to comment. Food - vegetarian menu poor (as with most places) - had lasagne which was of low quality - garlic bread was well toasted but I'm sure marge had been used instead of butter. Overall, the staff and locals are very friendly/welcoming and immediately have a crack with you on arrival - looks a fun place and if I was not so tired from walking Essex Way I'm sure Id have got up and done a tune. kernott1 - 29 Dec 2012 10:07 |
| Good to see the Stranger's open again and doing a roaring trade in food and real beer. Having had no real ale for the last year of it's previous incarnation under the witless Tim, new manger Sid is keeping three real ales on in tip-top condition. Adnams beers vie with the superb golden beers from nearby Harwich Town Brewing Co. Blonde citrussy Bathside Battery Bitter, and the golden Phoenix APA were both on on my last visit, and appeared to be going down well with locals and campers alike. Food is unpretentious pubgrub and plenty of it. Well worth a look if you are en route to, or from Harwich yog - 21 Jun 2010 03:09 |
| There was a time when Bradfield boasted three pubs but the closure of the Village Maid means that the Strangers is the only one left. Fortunately it is going to strength-to-strength under new ownership and features superb pub grub, great beer and entertainment. The decent camp site out back provides a great stop for caravaners and campers on the pretty tourist route from Manningtree to Harwich. Sid the friendly manager attends to locals and vistors alike with great efficiency and three handpumps dispense Adnams and provide an outlet for excellent beers from the Harwich Town Brewery - Bathside Battery Bitter and Phoenix on today's visit. Well worth checking out if you're exploring the area or walking the Essex Way. oxo - 28 Apr 2010 21:11 |
