The Harbourside Restaurant

For a very different but very special experience you will find it difficult to beat the Pier Hotels Harbourside restaurant, with fishing boats bobbing only feet from the front door you would expect the freshest of fish and you will not be disappointed.

The hotel has a nautical flavour throughout and the kitchen where Chris Oakley has been making the most of all the fresh fish for over twenty years is the heart of the operation.

On the first floor with large windows to make the most of the view, the Harbourside offers a sophisticated atmosphere and a wide ranging seafood menu. Dishes vary from the traditional such as a classic Dover sole to the modern and oriental. There is an extensive wine list centred on white wines with a particularly strong South African section.

The Ha'Penny

On the ground floor the Half penny Pier (named after the Victorian pier outside) is a lively bistro with a nautical atmosphere and a modestly priced menu with an emphasis on seafood.

Typical dishes include the famous Pier at Harwich fish and chips. The Half penny Pier is popular with families and there is a children's’ menu.
