We are Hawksmoor

We have a simple idea about work: people do their best when they’re comfortable, looked after and treated like grown-ups. Get that right and the rest follows. In the UK, we’ve been named one of the Sunday Times Best Companies to work for twelve years running, the only restaurant group to manage it. Wherever we open, the deal is the same. You get to come to work and be fully yourself. We just ask two things back: work hard, and be nice to people. That’s it. That’s the whole philosophy. We’d love to hear from people of every background, age and stripe who fancy being part of it.

September 8, on Necco Street

We're opening in Boston. Come build it with us.

We’re putting the team together now, starting with the people who’ll run the place. Great steak is the easy part. The right people are everything.

Boston knows good beef, and it doesn’t suffer fuss. Which is roughly the most Hawksmoor thing a city can be. So we’re coming, opening on September 8, 2026 at 15 Necco Street.

Opening a restaurant is the best and hardest thing we do. The first team sets the tone for everything that comes after, the standards, the feel of the room, the in-jokes that turn into traditions. Our opening teams have a habit of sticking around: friendships, a few weddings, the odd baby. If you want a job, plenty of places are hiring. If you want to help build something from an empty room up, that’s rarer, and that’s this.

Doing things properly

We started out in London in 2006 wanting a business we could be proud of. Doing things with integrity, and leaving things better than we found them. That’s still the job.

We’re a certified B Corp, part of a community of companies audited against high standards on environment, social impact and transparency. We became the world’s first carbon-neutral steak restaurant group, and we’ve been rated one of the most sustainable restaurant groups going, every year since 2010.

And we put our money where our mouth is. As a group we’ve raised over $2 million for Action Against Hunger. Our New York team supports Citymeals on Wheels and the Billion Oyster Project, and our Chicago team works with Pilot Light. Wherever we open, we look for partners who share how we see things.

Why Hawksmoor?

What you get

We don’t think looking after people should be a perk. It’s the job. Here’s what that means in practice, across every US restaurant.

The basics

Reasonable hours, flexibility wherever we can manage it, and a proper staff meal every shift. Front of house wears their own clothes, because you do better work when you feel like yourself. Paid Time Off and Sick Time in accordance with each jurisdiction, plus paid time off for your birthday off, because birthdays are for celebrating, not serving.

Growing here

We’d rather promote than recruit. We aim to fill 50% of our management roles from within, and we back that up: training in your own department, plus access to qualifications like WSET, Food Safety and Health and Work Safety, and tastings, and supplier visits.

Health and the practical stuff

Medical insurance with Hawksmoor covering up to 70% of the cost, dental and vision plans, life insurance, a 401k plan, and the TotalCare Employee Assistance Program for mental health support among other pieces. Pre-tax commuter benefits through Alice, free to enroll, from day one.

The good bit

We want you to know our restaurants from the other side of the table. Book two to four of you and dinner’s half price.

We’ve been named one of the UK’s Best Companies to work for twelve years running, the only restaurant group to manage it. That one means a lot, because it’s voted for by the people who actually work here, not handed out by a panel. So don’t take our word for any of this. If you want to know what working at Hawksmoor is really like, ask someone who already does.
