Tatler names Hawksmoor Guildhall Best New Restaurant
The style bible of the many-barrelled-surnamed-set just awarded Hawskmoor Guildhall their Best New Restaurant of 2012 award, beating a shortlist of excellent (and we would have thought far more Tatler-y) restaurants including 34 ,CUT and Downtown Mayfair by Cipriani. We’d like to say that we feel humbled by the honour, but actually after rubbing shoulders with the country’s great and good (and seriously loaded) at the awards ceremony we feel a bit posher than we did a week ago so are going to celebrate by buying a country pad or a Barbour jacket. Or a Corgi.

Spitalfields Bar Launch
Our brand new bar at Hawksmoor Spitalfields is now open.
It has a little more old-school glamour than anything we’ve done before. No chi-chi cocktail bar food though; instead we’ve put together a menu of things we like to eat with a few drinks when we’re not in a big steak kind of a mood, including our Short-Rib French Dip, Chilli Cheese Dog, Bermondsey Frier Sandwich and Poutine, as well as a regularly changing cocktail list.
We’re only taking bookings for people eating although drinkers are welcome to come without a reservation – we’ll do our best to accommodate you if there’s space available. Please give us a call or email spitalfieldsbar@thehawksmoor.com if you’d like to make a booking as we don’t accept online reservations for the bar.
“Flawless. The best steak you’ll find anywhere.”
Giles Coren, The Times
“If it was a person, you’d want to put a big smacker on its lips, possibly even marry it.”
Time Out Best New Restaurant 2011
When we started out we had a simple plan – to open the best steak restaurant in London.
We travelled the world, from steakhouse to steakhouse, searching for the perfect steak, but discovered that beef from traditional breeds reared the old fashioned way right here in Britain and cooked simply over real charcoal, packed more flavour than anything we tried on our travels.
Although we’ve had plenty of ‘best steak in London’ plaudits we’re not resting on our laurels. We want you to have a fantastic meal and most of all to enjoy yourselves while you are with us. We’d love your feedback, which you can leave here, so we can try to keep improving. It will go straight to us and we will always respond as quickly as we can.
