Mistley Thorn, Mistley, Essex Hotel Reviews

Eating

By early evening, the bar at the Thorn usually has a sprinkling of local residents who come for a chat over a glass of prosecco and a plate of oysters (native and Pacific) on the half-shell. We didn’t hesitate to join them and felt rather sophisticated, especially when Sherri came behind the bar and reminisced about her days catering on film sets in L.A. From movies to Mistley…

The restaurant is open for lunch, afternoon tea and dinner; special dining events are often held, too. Emphasis is on locally sourced ingredients and fresh seafood. Our starter of griddled diver scallops with pea puree mint and lemon was spot-on. The Adnams beer battered local fish main was delicious. Non-briney types and vegetarians are not overlooked, and when it comes to the puddings, words cannot describe Sherri’s yummy key lime cake. On Thursdays, the 'Moules Madness' menu is particularly good fun: choose from marinière, Thai-style or mussels in cioppino.

At breakfast, cereals and fresh fruit are laid out buffet-style; you can also choose to order a cooked full English breakfast, kippers or organic smoked salmon with eggs. Homemade muffins and eggs benedict make an appearance at Sunday brunch, which is open to the public.

Sherri also runs popular cookery workshops at the Mistley Kitchen in her own house beside the Thorn. And a short walk away, in Manningtree, is her other restaurant Lucca (an Italian specialising in tasty pizzas). Other options include The Crown at Stoke by Nayland and The Sun Inn in Dedham.

Ken “Bear” Iddins of Buffalo Hats reveals his unique eight-foot custom Six- Pac shell model with an extremely custom, tricked-out, and modified interior.  Are those really stained glass windows ? Many of us have dreamed of designing and building our own truck camper.  One moment you’re sitting in your dinette looking at the kitchen thinking, “Why didn’t they put another cabinet right there?” and the next you’re drawing a truck camper floor plan on a napkin.  We have certainly inked a few ideas this way over the years.  Then the reality the of cost and time involved in such an endeavor hit us.  If truck campers could be built in Photoshop, we would make the world’s greatest truck camper .  Until then, we’re probably just dreaming.
