Welcome to Thackeray's Web Site


Set back on a green off the main London Road in the quaint Kentish spa town of Tunbridge Wells, Thackeray's occupies a Grade II-listed building of ancient floorboards and low ceilings.

In 2001 it was subject to a glorious conversion, which has created two dining rooms that are cool and modern whilst remaining sympathetic to the age of the building by its understated elegance.

Ascend the original ancient wooden stairway,  two further private dining rooms, lounge and bar await.  These areas have been imaginatively designed and lavishly decorated to provide experiences ranging from intimacy to spectacular.

Richard Phillips, chef and co-proprietor creates an intelligent Modern French menu which sparkles with flavour.  The meticulous preparation and presentation reflects the elegant atmosphere and surroundings to provide the ultimate dining experience.
