Pub with restaurant and rooms on Mersea Island

02/11/2026

Essex is home to many pretty seaside towns and villages, from Frinton-on-Sea with its long, flat sandy beach, to Leigh-on-Sea, home to a cobbled highstreet and historic pubs

Lovely surprise this morning to be featured in list of 50 Best Pubs with Rooms for Autumn.

Fantastic recognition for our team for all their hard work. Mersea is a great place to visit all year round but when native oyster season begins, it’s hard to beat – brisk walks, massive sunsets and oysters with pints or cocktails before dinner!

Our fifth Island Hootenanny, and this one’s bringing some great musicians — Joanna Eden, vocal mentor to samsmith, and Derek Nash, saxophonist with the Jools Holland Rhythm & Blues Orchestra, joining the Chris Ingham Trio for the night.

Jazz over dinner, then soul and Motown once the dancing shoes come out, island punch in hand from the moment you arrive.

Three courses at the table, or drinks from the counters and sofas — either way, you’re seeing 2027 in properly.

Autumn is upon us and so too delicious, comforting new dishes on our menu.

Mussel rarebit with dill velouté and apple piccalilli; smoked ricotta lasagne with pickled walnut and chanterelle mushroom to start; guinea fowl Kiev with black garlic butter, and skate wing with saffron risotto, among the mains; a new Essex ploughman’s for two; and a chocolate delice with orange liqueur cream to finish.

Back by popular demand (yours, mostly — you keep booking it out), Friday Night Jazz returns with the Denny Ilett Trio. Guitarist Magazine called him “a knock-out player… soulful and jazz-tinged,” which is one of those reviews that does the work for you.

A fantastic evening of top quality live jazz with delicious food and drinks, in a lovely, convivial atmosphere. Come for dinner and stay for the music, or just come for the music and let dinner be someone else’s decision that night – either works. Music runs roughly 7.30pm to 9.45pm, tickets £10.50pp (payable on booking, non-refundable, the usual small print). A shortened five/five/five menu at normal prices, one course or three, or just drinks, your call.

We love our pocket of Mersea Island.

St Peter and St Paul’s Church, standing quietly at the heart of the village and next door, Arthur C**k, the butcher, doing his own kind of Sunday service.

Lose yourself finding something beautiful at the Oyster Gallery or .4_mersea. Eat too at , cakes , coffee for calm.
