Amazing place. The steak I ordered was so tender, very well seasoned and tasty. The smell was great. The side salad was also greatly seasoned with a delicious dressing. Staff very helpful and smiling. Great place
Might be the best burger in London. Triple-cooked chips is a great treat. Fabulous. Spitalfields branch has a lovely atmosphere as well.......
Amazing food and great service. The steak is the best steak I've ever had in my life!!! It's so succulent and my partner and I have made this place our regular spot
Hawksmoor Spitalfields is where the Hawksmoor story began, and 10 years after opening its still going strong. A steakhouse first and foremost, Hawksmoor is famous for selling what many, including ourselves, consider to be the best steaks in the UK.
Hawksmoor Spitalfields was the very first Hawksmoor to open back in 2006. Now a successful restaurant group with 6 sites across London, it is regarded as one of the finest steak houses in the capital.With this review, I felt it was best to cut to the chase. Hawksmoor is hands down THE best roast I’ve ever had.

Everyone tell’s a story about a good steak they had or at least they thought they had. But what is a good steak. Is it that thumb thick cut that you got from your butcher? Or perhaps that $89.99 price per kg for a grade 5. Well, those are simply just the beginning. From the ageing process, to the thickness of the pan and even the temperature of the steak prior to cooking, making the perfect steak is an art that can only be improved and never be mastered.
Hawksmoor has been the talk of the town for a while and i was anticipated to come and try it out. However, it was disappointing as I was expecting a lot more quality from them. The steaks are good quality, however it isn’t top notch. The sides were downfall and the bone marrow was disappointing.

Hands down THE best roast I've ever had. Pink slices of beef cooked on charcoal before finishing in the oven, half a roasted garlic bulb - divine, a roasted shallot, sweet and scrumptious. A perfect Yorkshire pud housing three fluffy and crisp duck fat roasted potatoes. The only thing I didn't like and actually left a lot of, was the pile of slightly chewy greens. The carrots on the other hand were honey roasted and mouth-wateringly good. We accompanied our roast with creamed spinach which is insanely good - spiced with nutmeg - I'd love to find out exactly how they prepare it. I'm a macaroni and cheese fan at the moment so I had to get a wee portion on the side as Hawksmoor's is one of the best. For dessert I went for sticky toffee switching the clotted cream for salted caramel ice cream as recommended by the waiter. It was pretty darn good deserving an 8.5 out of 10 (to be persist). The peanut butter shortbread was presentable of worth trying for any PB fan.
If you're put off for the high steak prices then Sunday lunch is your best opportunity to try Hawksmoor. I'm already planning my next trip.

There is just something so satisfying about a quality steak that can't be replicated or replaced by anything else. The thought of looking at a plate while a massive slab of meat stares back is a sight that sends shivers down my primal spine. But it is a risky game; get a bad steak and you'll be regretting your decision till the cows come home. So where does one turn when in need of a steak fix? For me, the search always starts at Hawksmoor.
Numbering 6 strong across the UK (with 5 being in London), Hawksmoor is committed to showcasing the best beef Britain has to offer and is uncompromising in that pursuit. Hawksmoor doesn't take shortcuts and the evidence is in the product.
Sending me off on my steak odyssey was a starter of fillet steak tartare which was a delight. Fresh and tender mince was combined with capers, gherkin and an egg yolk to produce a pure taste which was incredible. Understandably, tartare may not be everyone's bag but if it is, this is a must.
Onto the main event and as a raw beef lover it was the rump steak for me, which at £18 for 400g of protein represented insane value especially considering the quality of the meat and preparation. Dare I say it, it was one of the best steaks I've had in my lifetime; so soft and tender, the beef cooked to utter perfection with a respect to the natural flavours of the beef which shone through. For those with a more refined taste though, a selection of cuts is available from sirloin to ribeye to fillet however don't forgot to check the blackboard of special cuts of the day which for those with a real appetite to satisfy.
But a steak alone does not make a meal and at Hawksmoor, this is understood as sides of triple cooked chips and smoked bone marrow more than hold their own. The mac and cheese however, is something flat entirely and to call it a side almost seems to be disrespectful but such is the quality of the beef that it is stuck on the bench. But to miss this would be a crime.
Struggling to stand, our meal at Hawksmoor stopped here but what a meal it was. If you love steak, this is your holy ground. Come hungry.

My son booked us in for a Sunday Roast for my birthday visit to London. Booking is essential on Sundays I believe! He’s always told us this is the best roast he’s found so we were looking forward to our visit!
The staff, venue and food were great including a surprise birthday finish - photo attached. Such a lovely experience ☺️👌
Really great experience here. We went for Sunday roast for my birthday. Service was great from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave, but there were some points I think they could have been more attentive. For example, when we wanted to order dessert, once we had the menu no one came to take our dessert order, so I ended up changing my mind and didn't order dessert. Also, when we wanted to bill to leave. It took a while to get anyone's attention. While this might be minor, it did dampen the otherwise fantastic service.
The food, wow! It's simple, but to perfection. Every item was spot on, not too busy on the plate, perfect portion. The roasted garlic was a great touch!
It's pricey compared to average Sunday roasts, but honestly you pay a premium for quality, so it's completely worth it. I only wish I had a dessert just to see how good it might have been.
Would highly recommend

This pickle booked the wrong Hawksmoor restaurant but the ladies on the reception were lovely and soon sorted and booked us a table.
We started with some cherry 🍒 sours which were excellent.
The menu offers loads that I would have happily eaten, we settled on the roasted Scallops to start which were divine. For the mains I opted for the fillet which was perfectly cooked and cast iron steak with roasted onions and bone marrow. Sides mash potatoes and spinach in lemon and garlic which were superb.
Service was quick and we enjoyed our meal. The service of our waiter was a little lacking. We would have liked a children’s offering in the menu.

This well-reputed establishment offers a choice between roast beef or a selection of meats roasted to your preference. We opted for the succulent roasted Chateaubriand, a decision we didn't regret!
What truly elevated our meal were the trimmings. We feasted on deliciously roasted carrots, perfectly sautéed greens, and impeccably roasted potatoes. And let's not forget the traditional Yorkshire pudding, the roasted garlic, and, of course, the gravy – each element contributing to a perfectly harmonious dish.
The standout, however, was the meat, which was cooked to absolute perfection. The level of culinary mastery at Hawksmoor was evident in every single bite.
The service was nothing short of excellent – friendly and helpful, enhancing our overall dining experience. A special shoutout to the best Bloody Mary I've ever had - a fiery blend of vodka, green tomato juice, and jalapeño - simply yum!
Set against a backdrop of exposed brick interiors and decked with leather and wood furnishings, Hawksmoor creates a warm, inviting atmosphere, making it the perfect spot for a comforting Sunday roast dinner.
The decor of the restaurant is art decor style, which gave the place slightt retro feel.
Staff is very engaging and gave good suggestions when sought. Always checking in on you while not being intrusive.
Sunday roast was a pleaser with the beef pink and tender with a thin layer of salt. The gravy, whicn was salty on its own yet complement the stuffing. Sides of carrots, vegetables and garlic round up the meal. One of the best Sunday roast in town, in my opinion. Horseradish was slightly sweet and gave the roast beef a fragant aftertaste.
The restaurant lives up to its reputation as a fantastic steak place.
Incredibly good... all around... the bone marrow starter for Ananiya was delicious, and my salmon starter was awesome
The side cesear salad was just sooo good ... complimented the food well...
The steaks were sublime ... a great place to eat!
Read some not so good reviews about the Sunday Roast at this restaurant, but I decided to give it a try anyway. The Sunday Roast with all the trimmings is highly recommended. Triple fried chips were crunchy and tasty as well. Bone marrow was too rich for me, so I recommend skipping that and just ordering the roast. The stuffing tasted delicious as well.
TLDR; This Branch Struggles to Meet the Brands Usual High Standards.
While I usually sing praises about Hawksmoor, I must admit that their Shoreditch branch consistently falls short of the exceptional standards I've come to expect. On my most recent visit, we decided to have a quick / express lunch. The host was delightful as always and the waiting staff showed commendable attentiveness. However, the food took an uncomfortably long time to arrive, definitely not an express lunch.
For the first time, I decided to try their burger, but sadly, it turned out to be a disappointment. The burger patty was dry and the bun, strangely crunchy. It was particularly disheartening because I had introduced two new diners to this underwhelming experience.
If you're considering your first visit to Hawksmoor, I'd highly recommend their branches in this order: Air Street, Canary Wharf, City, and Covent Garden, which consistently deliver the high-quality dining experience that the brand is known for.
Absolutely fantastic Sunday lunch, we chose the chateaubriand and it was cooked perfectly. The trimmings were delicious too. Would highly recommend
Good food, good service. Came at 8:30 Monday night. Busy but got seated quickly, starters came out on time. Extensive wine menu, great steaks.
