| Last reviewed: May 2026 Will Beckett and Huw Gott opened the original Hawksmoor on Commercial Street in 2006 with a single proposition: serve native-breed, longhorn-aged beef from a Yorkshire butcher and stop apologising. Two decades later there are seven London sites and overseas outposts, but the Spitalfields original remains the one with the best room, exposed brick, parquet, a bar that takes the sazerac as seriously as the porterhouse. The bone-in prime rib for two is the dish; the bone-marrow starter and the Sunday roast are the reasons Londoners keep coming back. A fifty-quid lunch deal that's been on the menu for a decade keeps the place honest.
Editor's Tip
Order the porterhouse for two with bone marrow and dripping chips. Sunday roast at lunchtime is the move if you want to see how a steakhouse handles beef on the bone. The express lunch (two courses, fixed price) is the smartest weekday deal in the City fringe.
