Meet Our Local Charity Partner 

When we talk about community at Hawksmoor, we’re not only referring to the lovely people who live and work in the cities we’re lucky to call home but also to our extended community: farmers, growers, the people bringing in the daily catch, our charity partners, landlords, cleaning suppliers, logistics teams, consultants, diversity experts, management trainers, food waste campaigners, energy experts and everyone in between. All are an essential part of making Hawksmoor happen.

Arguably, the most significant players in terms of our for-purpose impact are the charity partners we work with throughout the year. Each time we open a new restaurant, we look for new ways we can support that community. And our Chicago opening is no different, which is why we’re so pleased to be working with Pilot Light as our local charity partner.

For many years in the UK, US and Ireland, we’ve focused on charities that address food poverty, especially for children, and to find someone so aligned to our ethos, and whose roots go so far into the industry that we love, has felt like a meeting of minds.
