Hawksmoor Manchester

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!

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 thought we’d treat ourselves to a meal out, seeing as it’s Christmas, and we couldn’t have picked a better steakhouse. We started with just sourdough and butter - this set the standard very high, and the following meal did not disappoint. The softest bread, with a nice chew to the crust, and the butter was easily spreadable. We agreed that we could have quite happily had the whole loaf! Our steaks were cooked PERFECTLY (a judgement that doesn’t come lightly). We ordered one medium and one medium-well - both were juicy, tender and well seasoned. The options for sides were varied and tasty, and well worth their money. We ordered two non-alcoholic drinks (I can’t remember the name but they were mango, grapefruit and soda) - these were gorgeous. Light and refreshing, and not overly sweet. For dessert, we shared the sticky toffee pudding. This was simply unctuous, and I almost wished we’d got one each - my belt was glad I kept a level head. The most minute point on this, however, it might have been nice to have the option of clotted cream or ice cream, as this was served with clotted cream, and sometimes it’s nice to have an ice cream to cut through. Having said this there was an option for a sticky toffee sundae, so maybe the choice was poor on our part? From the moment we walked through the door, staff were kind and attentive (but not overbearing - they obviously kept an eye on things but at no point did we feel watched). They worked in harmony with one another and all appeared on the same page, making service efficient but not rushed. Special note for the fact they remembered who ordered what without having to ask us when we were served. Our server, Keegan, deserves a mention. He was so lovely and even gave us some tips on what to see at the Christmas markets! 10/10 experience. Highly recommended. Go, treat yourselves, enjoy!

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.

I recently had the Sunday roast at Hawksmoor Manchester, and I can confidently say it was one of the best dining experiences I had. The beef was perfectly cooked, juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The Yorkshire puddings were towering and crisp, with just the right amount of softness in the middle. Accompanied by rich, savory gravy and roasted vegetables that had the perfect balance of crispiness and tenderness, every bite was a joy. But what truly elevated the meal was the cheese cauliflower. Creamy, decadent, and packed with deep, cheesy flavor, it was the perfect side to complement the roast. The service was impeccable and the ambiance of the restaurant is warm and inviting, making it an ideal place for a leisurely Sunday meal. Highly recommended!
