This was a lunch visit. The restaurant wasn’t full so was quieter than we have previously experienced. Service was very good. Attentive when needed but not pushy. The food was its usual excellent standard and served at a very nice pace for us. We always like visiting Hawksmoor and will continue to do so.

Great service. Fabulous food. The only downside is the open kitchen and the table set up when they have a nice second floor as well. The wait staff were extremely helpful and understanding when we asked them to move due to noise though.
