Stark in Thanet

Having second thoughts about booking. Being told how long I have to enjoy my dinner is not how I envisioned spending my time or money at a first class? restaurant.

We tried to book but they are booked up for 60 days ahead.I suggest that they keep one booking for travellers and if it is not taken up by a certain time they then give it to the next person on a waiting list.The arrogance of their response to my review means I wouldn't eat there anyway.

Just what you expect from a Michelin star restaurant. Superb ingredients expertly cooked and presented in a friendly environment

Beautiful food from a humble chef set in a cosy and relaxed atmosphere. It's obvious to see how he earned his star. A must visit

Had the most amazing meal and experience at Stark, Broadstairs, every course beautiful, stunning. Cleo looked after us, attentive welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable, whilst Ben cooked each course to perfection to a great playlist. We went for the wine pairings to match which worked with each course. The attention to detail in every area, the food, wine, decor, the serving plates, everything, fantastic! Please keep doing what you are doing the concept is unique and well worth the wait in booking. Thank you.

Fully deserves its accolades. Inventive delicious food and excellent service. Works on textures as well as flavours. Good value, well chosen wine pairings.

Amazing food. Expect the unexpected when eating here the chef will always surprise

We had such an amazing evening at Stark. The food was to die for, and the service delightful. We had the chance to chat with Ben and Sophie the hard working owners at the end of the night, and they were lovely. One of the most memorable meals I’ve ever had. Quite how they manage to provide food of this standard for ten people per sitting, with just the two of them is beyond me!

Absolutely loved our experience at Stark on Saturday evening, which was filled with outstanding food and the perfect matching wine flight. I have rarely, if ever, eaten food that has been so well prepared and flavoursome. A real treat and hope to be back soon!

Fantastic tiny (12 seat) restaurant. Food is sublime and consists of a tasting menu with matching (optional) wine flight. Owner and chef Ben creates food in a minute kitchen and front of house is overseen by his wife Sophie. You need to book up to 3 months in advance but it's well worth the wait!
