Hawksmoor Boston

We’re Will Beckett and Huw Gott, childhood best friends who started Hawksmoor in London in 2006. At the time, we were two slightly naive twenty-somethings who decided to try opening the steak restaurant we wished existed. Somewhere with brilliant beef, proper drinks and a room that felt warm, lively and welcoming. The kind of place we would be excited to visit on our night off.

From the beginning, we became a bit obsessed with beef. Where it comes from, how cattle are raised, how the meat is aged and what happens when it finally meets salt and charcoal. We work closely with farmers who rear cattle properly and ethically, and we care a lot about sustainability and long-term farming. Great steak starts long before it reaches the grill.

Over time, the little restaurant we had in a cool, up and coming neighborhood in London grew into something bigger than we ever expected. And Boston has long been a dream of ours. Boston felt like the sort of city where Hawksmoor might feel at home. A place that appreciates craft, quality and a good time around the table.

At heart, that is still what we are trying to build. A restaurant you can call your own.

Just as important to us is the kind of company we are. Hawksmoor has been named one of the UK’s Best Companies to Work For for fourteen years running. We became the first restaurant in the UK to be a certified B Corp because we believe businesses should try to be a force for good. Today, we are carbon neutral and constantly working to reduce our impact and do things the right way, not the easy way.

We’re serious about the craft and relaxed about everything else.

The floors aren’t quite down and the bar is still a drawing on someone’s desk. But the diary is open. We’ve been hosting events for the best part of twenty years, and we’d love one of yours to be among the very first at Hawksmoor Boston.

There’s room for around 200 guests, two private dining rooms (seating 14 and 32), flexible spaces for the bigger gatherings, and a terrace on the Fort Point Channel made for long lunches, celebratory dinners and a few too many martinis. Add grass-fed beef, sustainable seafood, award-winning cocktails and a team who genuinely love a good time round a table, and you’ve got the makings of an evening people bring up for years.

So get your inquiry in early. We’ll be in touch to talk dates, and we’d love for one of the first great nights in Boston to be yours.

Just the beginning for us here. Come say hi.

(Bear with us – proper venue shots are on their way.)

Some restaurants have outdoor seating. We have a waterfront terrace on the Fort Point Channel, and the views make it genuinely difficult to go back inside.

Come for al fresco drinks after work. Early evening cocktails on the terrace that stretch into dinner. A summer lunch outdoors with the water in front of you and no particular hurry. Whether it’s weekday drinks, a warm weekend, or outdoor dining with a group who deserve something better than a pub patio, the terrace is set up for all of it.

For private events we can take the whole space: flexible outdoor seating, a dedicated bar and waterfront views that make any occasion feel worth the effort. Or just book a table outside, order something from the bar and let the Channel do the rest.

One thing we are especially excited to bring to Boston is the Sunday roast. In Britain, it is something of a weekly ritual, and has been for centuries. Think of it a bit like Thanksgiving dinner, but every Sunday.

Across the UK, rain or shine, people gather around the table each week for a proper roast. Families, friends, whoever happens to be around. It is the sort of meal that is meant to take its time. Plates piled high, gravy passed around, second helpings encouraged, and the afternoon stretching on longer than expected.

A proper Sunday roast usually means roast beef at the center of the table, served with crisp roast potatoes, towering Yorkshire puddings, seasonal vegetables and plenty of gravy. Simple things done really well, cooked with care and served generously.

It is a tradition we take very seriously at Hawksmoor. Our Sunday roast has twice been named the best in the UK, which is not a title people hand out lightly.

For us, it is about more than just the food. It is about the ritual of it. Slowing down at the end of the week, gathering the people you like best and settling in for a long, relaxed meal.

We cannot wait to introduce Boston to it.

Hawksmoor is about creating something special for the people who come and eat with us; the communities we live and work in; our teams; and the wide-reaching network of people who play a role in making Hawksmoor happen.

We’ve always tried to build the kind of business we would be proud of. Of course, that means serving great food and giving people a brilliant time when they visit, but it also means trying to do things the right way behind the scenes. We look after our teams because we believe that when people feel supported, respected and happy at work, they pass that feeling on to our guests. We work closely with farmers who raise cattle properly and sustainably, focus on responsible sourcing across everything we buy and are proud to be a certified B Corp, which holds us to high social and environmental standards. We are also carbon neutral and constantly looking for ways to reduce our impact further, while supporting charities and community partners doing important work. We know we will never get everything perfect, but the aim is simple. Run great restaurants, look after our people and suppliers and try to leave things a little better than we found them.
