Thomas Straker
Thomas Straker is a classically trained chef, restaurateur and food entrepreneur whose work is rooted in a simple but uncompromising belief: that great food begins long before it reaches the kitchen. Raised in Herefordshire, Straker grew up immersed in the rhythms of farm life, an upbringing that shaped a philosophy built on honesty, seasonality and an obsessive commitment to sourcing.
Across his platforms, he has amassed a following of six million people drawn to his straightforward approach to cooking and his persistent championing of quality ingredients.
In 2022, Thomas opened STRAKER’S in west London to immediate critical and public acclaim, establishing himself as one of the most compelling voices in a new generation of British chefs. The restaurant has since been joined by ACRE and the newly launched STRAKER’S DINING ROOM on Golborne Road and STRAKER’S NYC occupying the iconic former Lucky Strike space in SoHo which is set to open this summer and marking his first step onto the international stage.
Beyond the pass, Straker has built a food business of genuine scale. What began as a viral social media series – All Things Butter that evolved into ALL THINGS, a dairy brand now stocked in over 15,000 stores across the UK and UAE, with a US launch imminent. In an era saturated with food content, his work stands apart for its substance.
