Thackeray's in Tunbridge Wells

We had a set three course lunch with the wine pairings, which overall was very pleasant and good value for money. The only thing that let it down was the Gipsy Tart which was dry and had a concrete hard crust. Custard might have helped it. Nice surroundings and good service, bright and airy comfortable restaurant in quiet part of town

Nice fine dining establishment at food reasonable prices however can get rather expensive with wine. Charismatic venue with good history. Friendly and attentive staff would definitely visit again.

A lovely evening spent at Thackeray's. A unique experience dining in William Makepeace Thackeray's home in Tunbridge Wells. The ambiance, service and food was exceptional. The extra touches provided completed the evening. Wonderful!

Have been to Thackerays a couple of times and it is always fantastic. My trip on Friday was no exception. We had a private room for our party and we did the tasting menu. The service was faultless- our main waiter Max was efficient, jovial, polite and knowledgeable. And the food was fantastic! The tasting menu was very well judged in all respects (from portion size to balance of flavours/foods etc) and the food was of high quality/fresh.I hope to be able to go to thackerays many many more times!

Love love our anniversary lunch here! Since moving to Tunbridge Wells, I've always dreamt of setting foot to this fabulous restaurant and it did not disappoint. Genuine greetings to start with and upon ordering our food, we just felt very much welcome. The food is stunning, the service is top notch and I am so glad we are just minutes away from Thackeray's which means we can always go back!

Really enjoyed the experience of the 20th anniversary tasting menu. Personal highlights the ox cheek doughnut and the raspberry souffle.

Visited Thackeray's last weekend for the first time, but it will certainly not be the last. We decided to have the tasting menu and the accompanying wine flight. It really was amazing, the whole menu and the wine pairings were so thoughtful and delicious that it was hard to decide which was my favourite. If pushed, I would probably plump for the amazing Hildenborough Pork, which came with a generous slice of spiced pumpkin sausage roll on the side as well as a gorgeous scottish langoustine, atop some pork belly and red lentils with pumpkin puree and a sumptuous marsala sauce. The langoustine was a work of genius, making this my ultimate surf and turf dish with a real autumnal flavour. The desserts were heavenly Making raspberry soufflés so perfectly has to be applauded and the custard and sorbet really set it off beautifully.

We had a lovely Sunday lunch on the terrace. Four nice choices for each course and all the usual extras amuse bouche, bread and petit fours. Beautifully presented and equally tasty. The set Sunday Lunch is extremely good value for money. Love the Pomegranate Royale cocktail. Highly recommend this lovely restaurant with friendly, unobtrusive service from the lovely staff. Great atmosphere 😀

Took friend to Thackeray's for Lunch today. Can't fault the food or service. Staff delightful. Food glorious. Thank you for entertaining us to a wonderful afternoon

Great vegetarian options, appreciated there was a separate meat-free section of the menu. The staff were very attentive and knowledgeable. A lot of little touches that made the visit very enjoyable. Would recommend and would happily visit again!
