Thackeray’s in Tunbridge Wells is an absolute gem that delivers an exceptional dining experience. From the moment you arrive, the beautiful venue exudes elegance and charm, making it the perfect setting for any occasion. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with just the right balance of sophistication and comfort.

The food is nothing short of outstanding. We started with the halloumi, which was cooked to perfection – crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside. For the main, the fillet steak was a true masterpiece – tender, juicy, my partner had the ribeye which I must say was bursting with flavour and a bigger portion but both were cooked to perfection medium rare. It was paired with sides that complemented the dish flawlessly a truffle jus. To finish, we shared the tart Tatin dessert, which was nothing short of heavenly. The caramelized apples, buttery pastry, and creamy accompaniment of brand and plain cream made it an unforgettable end to the meal with rum and and raisin ice cream 😋

The service was impeccable throughout, with staff who were attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about ensuring every guest has a fantastic experience.

Thackeray’s is not just a restaurant but an experience, where every detail is considered to perfection. Whether for a special celebration or simply a treat, this is a place that truly stands out. I can’t recommend it highly enough – absolutely five stars!

The food was wonderful, the service was top notch and the location was beautiful. However I give it an overall 4 star as I felt sometimes that the dishes were a tad small for the price tag. We were 2 people and our bill came to £300 and we only had 2 x the chef’s tasting menu and 2 glasses of wine (not even a bottle) as we were driving.
The raspberry soufflé is one of the best I’ve ever tried and definitely the one that will make this visit memorable.

We enjoyed the food at this restaurant, as it was of very good quality. However, we couldn't help but feel that the portion sizes were a bit on the smaller side, considering the price tag. I personally left a bit hungry. The set lunch for 2, along with a bottle of water, all together priced at 99 pounds, felt quite steep. Additionally, finding parking in the area proved to be quite difficult.

We went for lunch for our anniversary, and let me tell you, this is the best food and service in Tunbridge Wells, and it's not even close.
Everything we ate or drank was stunning (3 course menu with wine pairing for £110)
Our server was 1st class also.
100% will be back with friends and family.
