Cambridge, Suffolk and the surrounding Constable country are all within easy striking distance and Historic Harwich a short walk away, there really is a wonderful depth of history and natural beauty on the doorstep. Did you know that The Mayflower was built in Harwich? That it has the oldest working Crane and one of the oldest purpose built Cinemas in the country? With the Napoleonic Redoubt fort and the Low and high Lighthouses, 1,000 years of maritime and local history are on the doorstep!

Why not try our food. our Menu is hearty and healthy British 'home cooked' cuisine at its very best. Award winning, organic local produce of the highest quality, including meat from Willow Hall Organic farm, vegetables from Riverford Farm, and beef from the local butcherJohn Coleman. We cook a full range of International dishes but since our head chef Blossom is a Vegetarian we specialize in Vegatarian + Vegan food filling a gap in the region for house organic.
Our friendly staff are ready to welcome you to the Hotel Continental at any time of the day, where sea views can be enjoyed from the patio or bar which boasts nine draft beers and a very well stocked range of spirits and liqueurs as well as an excellent wine list. (Harwich has been importing wine for 600 years, though our oldest drop is a little more youthful!)
