Food/Lodging Bacons Castle Virginia (where our headquarters is currently located) is 12 miles from Smithfield; 7 miles from downtown Surry (with one blinking light) and historic Williamsburg is just 15 miles away. There is a free, enjoyable, 20 minute ferry ride across the James River (it runs about every ½ hour). In Smithfield: There’s always the Econo Lodge 757-357-9057… Then there is the Church Street Inn, a nice, clean modern bed & breakfast 757-357-3176… And then there’s a nice marina & hotel called the Smithfield Station. It’s a bit pricey, but if that’s not an issue call 757-357-7700. GREAT BRUNCH on Sunday morning. Ask for the Corporate discount for the Tactical Shooting Academy… The Smithfield Inn is a very quaint, historic bed & breakfast (great eclectic food & old time tavern) just down the street from the bakery and ice cream parlor at 757-357-1752… For food, I prefer the Battery Park Bar & Grille (really great food with a live bartender nightly). It’s a very quaint little place that used to be an old dairy barn (but it don’t smell too bad since they fixed it up). Neat little poolroom, a very popular hangout for locals, you won’t be disappointed. 757-357-1747. For Italian food Anna’s Italian restaurant has the best pizza and lasagna in town. The food can be taken-out or there is plenty of seating in the building. Beer and wine on premises. 757-357-4676 The #1 Chinese restaurant is a great little, no-nonsense Chinese food place with NO MSG & NO BEER (but otherwise, it’s a very clean and really good place to eat). 757-357-9448. I like the food at the Smithfield Inn very much, and at the Battery Park Grille as well. There are also all the usual, regular fast food places all around Smithfield to eat, too. Williamsburg has too many places to list. Look up Williamsburg on the Internet and see what’s cooking, and for deals on motels… Newport News has a Motel 8 ( and many others) just over the James River Bridge (25 miles from the range)…
