GREAT FOOD, GOOD COMPANY, MERRY Christmas
At Hawksmoor, we love Christmas. Not the tinsel-wrapped, jingle-filled kind, but the one that’s about good food, lovely company and just the right amount of festive spirit.
So, this season we’re inviting you to swerve the cold-turkey set menus and join us for a feast done the Hawksmoor way. Think juicy steaks, super-fresh seafood and seasonal sides with a festive wink in their eye. Food that makes celebrating Christmas with friends and family feel indulgent and effortless. It doesn’t have to be a budget-busting banquet, though. Our express menus (two or three courses, every day save Sunday) and our Monday Wine Club (bring your own bottle, £5 corkage) means there are options for everyone.
No fuss, no clichés – just great food, good times and a warm welcome.
“Creative ideas, flawless execution, terrific delivery.”
FT Weekend, Tim Hayward
Christmas private dining & festive gatherings
If you’re reading this we’re guessing your boss, friend or parent has tasked you with finding a private dining room for Christmas. We know that pinning down the ‘perfect place’ can be tricky, so we try our best to keep things simple.
It starts with group-friendly menus full of Hawksmoor classics, a few festive sides and some hearty veggie/vegan dishes. Good food that’s delivered to your table by a team who know how to put you all at ease. It helps that you’ll have a cliché-free space all to yourself.
Our private dining rooms will happily host a family Christmas dinner, a festive office party or just an overdue reunion with friends. Just know that we’ll host it with the good taste and warm atmosphere you expect from Hawksmoor.
Large Christmas parties & receptions
No tinsel. Minimum fuss. A really good time. That’s our opening gambit for Christmas parties and standing receptions. Of course, we do quality, Hawksmoor-coded canapés and bowl food, too. And cool cocktails. But the bottom line is, Christmas parties at Hawksmoor are tasteful, stress-free events that make you, the organiser, look good. Sound appealing?
For Christmas party venues in London, we often suggest our bar at Hawksmoor Wood Wharf. It’s the biggest we have with space for 250 standing guests in winter and 330 in summer, when you can spill out onto our waterside terrace. Also check out Spitalfields Bar, beneath our first-ever restaurant on Commercial Street, where 70 of you can let loose in a space with a speakeasy feel.
Hawksmoor Gift Cards: The Present They’ll Actually Want!
Let someone else get them socks or a smartspeaker this Christmas and give your favourite foodie something they’ll really enjoy. We like to think of our Christmas gift cards – starting at £50 – as a ‘safe bet’ stocking filler. That’s because you can be certain they’ll open the door to a memorable meal, in a place where the people you care about will be well looked after. You can buy a gift card in any of our restaurants or, if that’s not convenient, grab a digital version online.
Sometimes it’s nice to pair a more tangible prezzie with your gift card, which is where our two hardback recipe books and Hawksmoor Tributes come in (think ‘posh Rolos’ and you’ll be on the right track). Better than a satsuma, right?
Give the gift of Hawksmoor this Christmas.
