Thomas Straker

29th September – 3rd October

Thomas Straker knows what you want to eat. Honest, uncomplicated and totally produce driven, his Italian-influenced dishes are unabashed crowd pleasers that are guaranteed to put a smile on your face. If ‘Sourdough Pizza Bread with Wild Mushrooms and Truffle’, ‘Crab Ravioli, Vesuvio Tomatoes, Basil and Lemon’ and ‘Doughnuts with Fig Jam, Crème Fraîche and Pistachios’ don’t pique your interest, there’s nothing more we can do for you…

Having spent the best part of a decade perfecting his craft in the kitchens of The Dorchester, Dinner and Elystan Street, Thomas was all set to open his first solo project in London this autumn until you-know-what happened. ACRE’s opening has been pushed back a few months, so Thomas is joining us in the kitchen instead, giving us a tantalising glimpse of what his new restaurant is all about: simplicity, seasonality and conviviality.

Cooking predominantly over wood fire and using the very best produce available right now, this is an end of summer showdown that you won’t want to miss. Guest chefs are back on the menu…
