Why we point you here
One Michelin star Modern British on the Essex coast — worth the detour to East Mersea.
East Mersea isn't where you'd expect to find one Michelin star Modern British cooking, but that's exactly why Stark is charted here. The Essex coast has always had something quietly exceptional about it, and this is worth building a night around — serious cooking rooted in place and recognition.
