"If you’re in the mood to go and eat a slab of meat, medium rare, with a stiff drink on the side, then go to Hawksmoor. This outpost has Borough’s traders on its literal doorstep and some great daily specials, so you can argue you’re technically doing the market thing. If you work in the area, even better. Their lunch specials are the perfect excuse for a splurge you’re not going to regret. Until you fall asleep at your desk, that is." - sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, jake missing, daisy meager, heidi lauth beasley
"Can a steakhouse also do a good Sunday roast? The answer is yes. And the best thing about Hawksmoor is that there are enough of them dotted around London that you can probably find one to suit the vast geographical requirements of your friends who want to join you. They also like to keep things simple here—they only do roast beef. But this is a great steakhouse, so you can bet they do it well." - jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley
"Hawksmoor announced their £10 steak, chips, and sauce deal and, somewhat unsurprisingly, people went absolutely bananas and starting booking. It’s available in all London locations, if you can get a booking." - jake missing
"Bovine behemoth Hawksmoor refurbished a warehouse to the rear of the Market with characteristic aplomb. A pioneer of London’s proper steak joints, Hawksmoor gets the job done: British beef, decent sides, great service, excellent cocktails and wine list. [R]" - Ed Smith
"Grass-fed, British cows are the star at Hawksmoor, whose mini steak empire is among the most characterful and consistent in the capital. Large-format cuts, chalked up on a blackboard, are the speciality, but there’s fillet, rib-eye, sirloin, and rump for those going solo. Chips are exemplary and side orders range from the greasy joy of bone marrow to half a lobster. Choose a fighter." - Adam Coghlan
