Hawksmoor Spitalfields, Spitalfields Bar

About Venue

To Hawksmoor purists and our longest-serving staff, our steak restaurant in Shoreditch is top of the chops. It was the first to open and the general view is that it’s where the ‘Hawksmoor spirit’ is best embodied. Offering great steaks, drinks and an amazing atmosphere, full of people who genuinely care whether you enjoy your meal. It all amounts to being one of the top steak and seafood restaurants in East London – be it for lunch or dinner.
Take your time, and leave with your hearts and bellies full.
We are delighted to offer semi and private dining options for a range of occasions.
The Vesta Tilley Room is the ideal semi private area for groups of 30 - 55, with a versatile layout, ready to be designed to fit your needs.
While our downstairs bar is a more casual affair, with the Hawksmoor touch – we can offer dining for 20-30 guests or cocktail and canape receptions for up to 70 guests.
Whether you're hosting client meals, treating your hardworking team to lunch, or celebrating those milestones – we will host you with the Hawksmoor flare you know and love.
