We looted the Natural History Museum for this place.
Well, not quite…
But when we opened Hawksmoor Guildhall 15 years ago, we did get our hands on a load of its old mahogany display cases and turned them into wall panelling.
And that was just the start:
🪵 Parquet floor, from an old town hall
🧪 Chemistry lab worktops, from some of Britain’s poshest schools
🧱 Glazed bricks, salvaged from the London Underground
All because we wanted it to feel like a proper City institution. Something to match the grandeur of that amazing façade.
And, you know what, we think it worked.
Happy birthday, Hawksmoor Guildhall!

What do you MEAN you’ve not tried one yet?
There’s a decent chance it’s the world’s best burger.
OK, not the most modest statement.
But it was created by supremo burger reviewer and our head – so you’ll forgive us the big talk.
What’s certain is that it’s stop-you-mid-conversation good.
Not least because of the beef: native breed, dry-aged, bone-marrow-mixed...
Get your BURGURR at any Hawksmoor.

Who orders the same cut every time?
We all do it, don’t we? But what if your favourite steak isn’t actually your favourite?
P’raps you’re a rib-eye gal and never knew!
Our new Steak Flight puts four of our best, side by side.
So you and your gang of you play steak critic for the evening.
Here’s the lineup:
🥩 Hawksmoor Farms rump – big, beefy flavour
🐮 Wildfell Wagyu sirloin – rich, marbled and raised in Norfolk
🥩 Longhorn rib-eye – from the breed we started with 20 years ago
🐮 Aberdeen Angus fillet – tender, tender, tender

👇 Why you rest a steak 👇
It’s all about the juice...
When you cook a steak the heat drives those lovely juices to the centre and tightens the fibres.
Cut it too soon and those juices spill out onto the board. Not good.
Resting lets the heat settle and the fibres relax, so those delicious juices can spread back through the meat – where they belong.
A rested steak is a better steak. And no mistake.

The new Hawksmoor red. Here’s the story 👇
Our house tipple has done us proud for years. But it was time for a change.
Still an Argentinian Malbec – one we’ve helped to create – but even better suited to our steaks.
The Kaiken x Hawksmoor.
🍇 High-altitude vineyards in Mendoza
🍒 Dark fruit, a little pepper and spice
🍷 Soft, rounded tannins and a lovely long finish
Our steak’s new BFF, basically.
But it wasn’t just the w**e that drew us in.
Like us, **es is a certified B Corp, with a serious commitment to responsible farming.
We’ve found a w**emaker who shares our values – and made a w**e we think you’re going to love.
Grab a glass and let us know what you think!

🥩 Find your new favourite steak 🥩
We all have our go-to.
Rib-eye, sirloin, fillet... But have you ever put it to the test?
Enter the Hawksmoor Steak Flight.
Four excellent steaks from different breeds and farms, served side by side.
So you and the gang can taste just how much the cut, feed and farming affect the flavour.
You never know, you might be a rump person now!

Our City boy is turning 15!
Happy birthday to Hawksmoor Guildhall.
Mad to think we opened in October 2011.
The world’s changed a bit since then, but we’ve made a point of keeping things constant inside.
As Stef says, it’s always been a bit of a playground.
Client lunches, after-work drinks, full-blown feasts with the gang...
You come here to forget the stress, press the flesh, catch up and have fun.
Happy birthday, Guildhall. 🥂

Where does London sit in the rankings?
’s and ’s choices are great ones (it’s nigh-on impossible to get bad food in Bologna).
But our blessed capital came 4th in this year’s table, don’t you know.
And we’re proud to have made our little mark on it.
Quality British cooking with a very Italian philosophy: buy the best ingredients and cook them simply.
Speaking of which, have you tried Cal’s (not so British) bacon double cheese BURGURR yet?
It is immaculately tasty.

What’s your Christmas party trick?
Opening ch*****ne with a spoon – we need to see this !
Safe to say, we love hosting OOT events over the festive season.
Private dinners with one of everything on the table. Including a magnum of ch*****ne.
And if you really want to push the boat out, there’s the Cook’s Room at Hawksmoor Borough.
Your own private kitchen, chefs cooking the Beef Feasting menu in front of you – and room for 22 gluttons.
Now that’s a Christmas party.
15/10/2026
Got a friend that needs cheering up?
Share this with them and book a table for lunch. We’ll take good care of the pair of you.
It starts with something from the Set Menu:
🥩 1 course: £21
🥩🍨 2 courses: £26
🥗🥩🍨 3 courses: £30
Monday to Saturday, 12-3pm.
They’ll be right as rain in no time.

Get the Steak Flight. Try them side by side.
Pete and the team can talk about how flavour changes across cuts.
But the only way to really get the difference they make is to tuck in!
So that’s what we’ve done:
🥩 Hawksmoor Farms rump
🐮 Wagyu sirloin
🥩 Longhorn rib-eye
🐮 Aberdeen Angus fillet
Share, compare and find a new favourite.

How cheeky is that?
Make your own (nearly) Full English with our Christmas sides.
And when says sausages, he means our seasonal Cows in Blankets, although they’re not on the menu just yet.
Steak and bone-marrow chipolata sausages, wrapped in bacon and glazed maple syrup.
Which reminds us to remind you to remind whoever usually books your CHRISTMAS DO do to call us as soon as possible.
December fills up faster than Matt’s plate at a breakfast buffet.
Speaking of: Matt, you forgot to order a side of sourdough with your cheater’s fry up!
11/10/2026
And the other special thing we do is 👇
To buy the best-of-the-best beef.
Native-breed cows who’ve lived longer, happier lives, grazing grass and wild flowers from pastures tended to by community minded farmers. Their beef just tastes better.
If you’re cooking at home, your best bet for that smoky char is to fire up the barbecue. But if that’s too much faff, come and enjoy a slow Sunday at our place.
10/10/2026
What’s your Hawksmoor hack?
We’ve got a few up our sleeve.
Dipping beef-dripping fries in our creamed spinach is a fave with the team.
Peppercorn sauce, though? That’s new even to us.
And we keep seeing you dipping the actual burger in the boat, too!
Is there nothing you won’t dip? 😂
Order a side of peppercorn sauce with Calfreezy’s BURGURR and get stuck in.

Can you actually taste the difference?
Well, to find out, we’ve created the beef equivalent of a w**e tasting. With less spitting.
Introducing the Hawksmoor Steak Flight.
Four cuts. Four breeds. Four farms. All arriving together for a proper beef-off.
🥩 Rump – Hawksmoor Farms
🥩 Sirloin – Wildfell Wagyu
🥩 Rib-eye – Longhorn
🥩 Fillet – Aberdeen Angus
Which one’s got the biggest beefy punch? Which melts in your mouth? And will the posh Wagyu actually beat the humble rump?
Gather four or five mates, appoint yourself chief beef critic and let the arguments begin.
£200 for the lot. Available now.

There’s no better time to be in Devon.
A Chelsea-tractor-free A303 + seafood season = .
We’re setting up outside our pal Mitch Tonks’s .restaurant for the whole weekend.
Here’s the rub:
🍸 pop up – for frighteningly cold cocktails.
🍔 Calfreezy burgers – serving the new Hawksmoor x BURGURR on the embankment.
👋 Cal & Matt – the BURGURR’s creators will be flipping patties on Friday!
Then on Sunday will be in The Seahorse cooking up a Hawksmoor Sunday Roast. It’s already sold out, though – sorry!
Martinis and burgers? No ticket required.
Who’s coming?

Introducing…the Hawksmoor Steak Flight.
Yep, like w**e or wh**ky, but with four of the best steaks available to humanity.
🥩 Hawksmoor Farms rump
🐮 Wagyu sirloin
🥩 Longhorn rib-eye
🐮 Aberdeen Angus fillet
A proper feast for you (and up to four more) to share, compare and maybe even find a new favourite steak.
Why bother?
Well, we’re pretty particular about where our beef comes from and how it’s raised. But you don’t want to hear us bang on about how breed, feed and farms affect the flavour.
Instead, we thought:
Let’s make it fun by putting four of our finest on the table, so you and your gang can make an occasion of really getting to know our steaks.
Play the steak critic, scratch that “I’ve always wanted to try” itch and hard swerve any “what-if” foodie fomo on the way.
Sounds like a good night to us. You?

Fess up – who still does it the old way?
Hey, some of our guests swear by the rule-of-thumb doneness test.
A probe might seem a bit less charming, but we want to be 100% certain you’re getting the “cuisson” you ordered.
The charcoal fire we cook over is where our grillers’ instincts and artistry come in.
But it’s always signed off by science.

In case you’d like to try this at home.
Simple enough, right? That’s what burger reviewing GOAT wanted.
The burger equivalent of a Hawksmoor martini: a few ultra-quality ingredients, carefully combined.
🥩 Dry-aged beef and bone marrow patties
🥓 Smoked streaky bacon
🧀 American cheese
🧅 Raw white onion
🥫 Cal’s very own burger sauce
🍞 And a home-baked milk bun
Speaking of martinis – they make quite the accompaniment!

A fillet’s best friend.
This French classic take’s a fillet’s tenderness and gives it some bite.
Peppercorn sauce owes its roots to the steak au poivre, where chefs used the browned bits left in the pan, adding cognac, cream and pepper to make a steak-worthy sauce.
Legend has it...
Steak au poivre originated in the late-night bistros of 19th-century Normandy, where pepper’s supposed aphrodisiac powers made it a favourite among courting couples.
Just saying.
