"Have been here 3 times before and was disappointed with this visitation. We had to ask to put the heating up or to move seats as it was freezing cold inside, ended up wearing my coat inside. We had the tasting menu (which we've had before, hence why we came again) the portions were ridiculously small and even went to have a KFC afterwards as we weren't filled at all. The only two good portions were the beef dish and the rhubarb soufflé.... The rest...... C'mon chef.... What happened? What was most disappointing is the lady in the blazer and jacket who was obviously important,.asked us if there was any allergies or anything in the beginning and we said, please no beetroot...... Guess what appeared on our 2nd dish.... Beetroot. This place had always had a high status in my mind on customer service and attention to detail however the standards have seriously gone down as a simple request was completely ignored. Also the wine paring? Did you guys actually taste the wine with what was being served? Again we used to love the pairings and food it matched with but it's like no one gave it any thought. Now before you slate us completely we have both worked in restaurants ourselves before so understand everything that goes into it, but honestly was so so disappointed with this meal. The only good thing was the servers and their knowledge of the items being offered and with a smile. The rest..... Maybe just revisit the menu as I'm not sure what that haddock and raisin situation was. We got 20% discount which is basically just the servers tip? Correct me if wrong. If anything, I would've happily paid the servers their tip as they did a steller job. The food on the other hand was disappointing for a £400 meal and cheap wine. Won't be back as I was too embarrassed to even show my partner the food and wine it had to offer.... He said he's had better food in Mayfair for a similar price."

We have returned from a lovely lunch today and was served by a lovely girl I believe her name was Faye. Very professional, polite and made us feel very welcome.

We love it here. Photos over a couple of visits. Always fantastic service and attention to detail. The food is consistently a winner and somewhere we’ll be returning to many times in the future!

Really enjoyed the experience of the 20th anniversary tasting menu. Personal highlights the ox cheek doughnut and the raspberry souffle. Edit: It's been a while since we have been here but was still excellent. Food was good and the front of house staff are lovely. Baked Alaska was the highlight of the meal.

My husband and sons surprised me with lunch on Mother’s Day. I’ve been wanting to dine at Thackeray’s so was happily surprised. Overall the food had some hits and misses. All the staff that served us were lovely and polite. I had the crab starter as did my 11-yr old son. It was light with slightly pickled vegetable ribbons and almonds. The sourdough focaccia was good but I found a piece of thin sharp plastic (could have been a fish bone) in my slice. When I told the waitress, she apologized. The main course of sirloin beef roast was delicious, rare and very tender. Unfortunately I couldn’t cut into the roast potatoes because there so hard. The waitress was very accommodating and changed it i...
