Hawksmoor Manchester

This place is almost perfect. Staff great, polite and efficient. A lovely relaxed but busy atmosphere and the food was fabulous. Only slight moan was the exorbitant cost of larger steaks but it's easy to navigate round that if you wish. Overall outstanding - Well done.

We dined at Hawksmoor for our 4th anniversary and we had a wonderful time, start to finish. Our server for the afternoon was Samson, who I must say is the single best server we have ever had. He was attentive, extremely polite and knowledgeable, and truly amplified our experience - also every recommendation given by him was spot on. We were most impressed by the fact that when we entered we naturally had a conversation with our server, explaining we are celebrating our anniversary, our names, what we are up to etc. The server did not write this information down, however he remembered everything we had said, referenced it later and brought us out a lovely treat post meal for said anniversary - this really meant a lot to us, so thank you. The atmosphere was great, just the right amount of busy inside the restaurant. The decor is beautiful and we loved the architecture of the building. We had the sharing platter between us with all the trimmings and two sides (cauliflower cheese, stuffing) Starting with the platter, the steak was beautifully cooked to our liking (med rare), it was soft and buttery with a rich beef flavor. On the side we had buttered cabbage, carrots and roast potato's, all of which were cooked to perfection. The roast potatoes are arguably the most important thing on a roast, these were golden and crispy on the outside and fluffy inside, the gravy was also very rich and had subtle flavors of rosemary and red wine which paired perfectly with our drinks. Our sides were also spectacular, we've had friends recommend the stuffing to us for a while and it really lived up to our expectations, the marrow adds a lovely flavour and the herb mix is well balanced. We are generally very big eaters, we got through around 80-90% of our meal, giving ourselves the opportunity to try everything - we paired our meal with two separate glasses of red wine, recommended by Samson. They paired perfectly and we thoroughly enjoyed. Overall experience was an 11/10, would strongly recommend, thank you very much Hawksmoor!

Delicious food and lovely service. We had the fillet and ribeye steak, with the bone marrow gravy. The gravy was amazing. The puddings were also great. The sticky toffee pudding was delicious, the clotted cream especially as it wasn’t too sweet. The service was friendly and personable. Would definitely recommend. Expensive but absolutely worth it.
