Hawksmoor is a British steakhouse and cocktail bar chain based in London, England.[5]
Development
The restaurant was founded by Will Beckett and Huw Gott in 2006. They had previously worked in bars and kitchens in London's East End and opened their new bar/restaurant on Commercial Street. Their plan was to offer high-quality well-butchered beef, so they tasted a range of beef from all over the world, until coming to the conclusion that the best-tasting steak was from the UK.[6]
Their second branch, in Seven Dials, opened in 2010.[7] This was especially successful and the turnover of their company, Underdog, increased from £4 million to £11 million.[7]
The company has been ranked three-star in the Sunday Times
