"Thackeray's is one of the most charming and stimulating restaurants I have seen outside London. The youth of those involved belies the professionalism with which it is run. The greeting is warm, the atmosphere enchanting whilst the food sparkles with flavour."
Terry Durack The Independent on Sunday

"There is a clear, culinary intelligence at work here that understands how ingredients work together"
