Fish & Chips, a prominent dish on the cobbles of Britain’s Ocean City; with the aroma of salt and vinegar creating a nautical rumble in your tummy as you pass by! They say a little of what you fancy does you no harm; and by golly are we grateful for this ‘free pass’ to enjoy a battered cod upon a steaming portion of crispy chips!
There are a plethora of amazing restaurants to tantalise your taste-buds in Plymouth, but the odd take-away, eaten upon your lap looking out over the sound makes for the perfect of memories during your stay in our beautifully historic city.
Our top tip to guests visiting Plymouth between now and September 2018 is a visit to Rockfish, who are extending their “£3 local Fish Friday” deal! Here you can enjoy local fish and chips from the Rockfish Takeaway from 5pm each Friday, and although there is closures on the footbridge that leads you to their sensational restaurant and take-away, a discount option is available if parking in Lockyer’s Quay car park or if using the Silverline ferry.
Since the 17th century battered fish has been enjoyed by many; and why try fixing something that isn’t broken! Indulge, enjoy and feel Plymouth in every delicious mouthful!

“Plymouth’s best kept secret”: A peek inside the beautiful apartments on the launch of their new website…
Strathmore House Apartments are situated here on Elliot Street, an area home to some breathtaking Victorian architecture and alive with history; one of the many corridors to the sea, but also an area that provides Plymouth with a calming rhythm, sincere sense of style and everlasting elegance of the era.
Our serviced apartments are stylish one, two, three and four bedroom apartments, offering accommodation from two nights to longer stays; true urban living for those choosing to holiday here in Britain’s Ocean City.
This month, Strathmore House Apartments are celebrating the launch of our new website and Elinor Eaton, our Development Manager for the New Continental Group explains why now is such an important and exciting time to invest in, and visit Plymouth:
“Plymouth is alive with activity and energy on the lead up to 2020 and beyond; you can feel it in every conversation and around each corner that you turn, and for our group, inward investment in our sector and city has always been a really important part of our business planning. Strathmore House Apartments, in my opinion, are one of Plymouth’s best kept accommodation secrets; popular with returning guests from all over the UK, choosing Plymouth as their holiday hot spot.
Our serviced apartments make the perfect base to enjoy the riches on offer here in Plymouth; not only because of their location but because of their style and layout – they really are perfect for professionals, families, friends and couples looking for a modern, clean and stylish place to stay during their time here.
Plymouth is a truly remarkable destination; not only thanks to the exciting times in preparation for the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower in 2020, but the spectacular year-round events programme, including the British Fireworks Championship, Flavour Fest, Seafood Festival, Illuminate and much, much more.
We believe our new website, thanks to Hedgerow Marketing, reflects not only our apartments, but also how we view and feel about our city. I believe that any investment in Plymouth shows a true sense of pride in place, which is also very important to the New Continental Group. Are hope is everyone that visits our site gets a real sense of the riches on offer and the brilliance that shines so brightly – even on a grey day! “
Fun, stylish, creative and incredibly endearing; that’s not us just talking about our apartments but also about the wonderful Stella Parton. Upon meeting Stella, she was everything you would expect and more; kind, authentic, honest and humble – with sincere warmth that radiated even the coldest of days here in Plymouth.
Making time for everyone – from loyal fans to bar staff and intrigued passersby – our time spent getting to know Stella Parton whilst she stayed at Strathmore House Apartments was time that we are extremely grateful to have had.

Welcoming every guest to Plymouth for their first visit to our ocean city is exciting, but when you hear that they loved it so much they will return, it’s always the very best of outcomes.
Stella called Strathmore House Apartments home, whilst staying on one of our four bedroom apartments for three nights this weekend, on a discovery of our historic city after powering through the elements to make it to Plymouth from London through the snow.
When you have the pleasure of hearing someone talk about a place you are proud to call home, a person who has travelled the world and seen some beautiful sights, it makes you realise how very lucky you are to have so much wonder on your doorstep.
In Plymouth, we never take for granted the fine plethora of restaurants, history, culture and beauty; but to hear someone talk so lovingly about their own experience here, and to even be thinking of writing a son about our city, is truly heartening.

Not only did we have the opportunity to welcome Stella to Strathmore House Apartments, we also got to show off one of our sister companies; Kuku Sushi Bar & Robata, where Stella took a turn behind the Sushi Bar before enjoying some Kuku delights and a cocktail!

Everyone has a female role model; someone that influences their journey, their decisions and the shape of the person they become. For many of us, that’s our Mum.
Mum’s play a huge role throughout our lives; from teeth-cleaning and hair brushing when you’re a tot, to poorly snuggles on the sofa when only your Mum will do, to mending your first broken heart with ice-cream and a hankie.
They forgive your piles of dirty laundry on the floor next to the laundry bin, they forgive the empty bottle put back in the fridge and they would climb the largest mountain just to give you your forgotten packed lunch or PE kit!
As we get older our Mums are still on hand! Their job is never done! Our needs may change, but their stability and support remain.
Being the emotional backbone of a family is a tough task, but it’s a task carried out with love. Mums are a constant; they give, they work hard, they make sacrifices and all to make our lives better, fuller and richer. What better time than Mothers Day to say a very special thank you to a very special Mum?
As Plymouth largest independent, family owned hotel the New Continental Hotel know just how important families are, especially Mums, and so they want to help you show your Mum, or your Mum equivalent, just how much you value her and all she has and does do for you.
Throughout the whole of March, they are giving Mum’s a dessert for FREE* in Steve’s Brasserie to help you say ‘Thank you Mum’.
Steve’s Brasserie’s is the perfect choice for Mums, their menu includes varied dishes ranging from traditional classics to unique culinary delights, using only the finest fresh seasonal ingredients sourced from local suppliers, reflecting the rich agricultural and fishing tradition of the West Country.
