The new restaurant will seat 95, and have a private dining room and chef’s table. ‘There are very few buildings that Huw and I have always spoken about as dream Hawksmoors, and this is one,’ says Hawksmoor co-founder Will Beckett of the new opening. ‘As we approach the 20th anniversary of our first Hawksmoor restaurant, it feels perfect to be able to bring everything we’ve learned in London and beyond back to one of the most dramatic and gorgeous buildings in our hometown.’
Co-founder Huw Gott added: ‘I’ve always loved working with incredible architectural heritage, and there are no finer buildings around. This feels perfect. It’s historic and full of life, a place where London and the world pass through every day’.
Hawksmoor will also be taking over the adjoining bar, which was most recently known as The Gothic Bar. The glamorous space will change its name to The Martini Bar.
