Hawksmoor Guildhall in City of London

Sadly not the best experience. As we were a table of eleven it had to be a set menu which isn’t a good start. To then be told on arrival that all meat will be cooked medium rare or more was a slight disappointment. After four different members of staff came over to discuss eventually they agreed on cooking one piece of steak rare. In fairness this was delicious! Sadly my wife isn’t much of a steak lover so went for the chicken option. After the restaurant deciding the first piece of chicken wasn’t up to their standards, the second attempt arrived. Sadly and very oddly the breast was bleeding? The waiter instantly agreed this wasn’t right and took it away. Quite rightly it was knocked off the bill but sadly a few shared sides didn’t really suppress my wife’s hunger.Definitely not their best! We’ve eaten at other Hawksmoors which have been delicious! I guess they were just having a bad night!

Absolutely delicious Sunday roast. Probably one of the best I’ve had. Would have rated it a 5 star however I had to send back the roast as I had especially a lot of bone marrow in the gravy that hadn’t melted in (more bone marrow than gravy) however was delicious when this was corrected.

I am giving it 5 stars as food and staff were excellent but there was a large party of very noisy people which spoilt our special meal. However the manager did apologise and that goes a long way with me.

Enjoyed my partners birthday at Hawksmoor In the city and had a fab time. The restaurant has an extensive wine list providing a broad choice, given the occasion we went with a French Vouvray (1997) which turned out to be an outstanding white wine. We had scallops and marrow with onions for starters both delightful! Mains was a Chateaubriand and a Fillet steak with beef dripping fries and creamed spinach. Our pudding was The Ambassador…rich chocolate and hazelnut heaven. All in all both food and dining experience was outstanding, we were very well looked after.

They didn’t have lobster on the menu which was the only thing I wanted. My partner had beef and he said he’s had better elsewhere. The starter was delicious and the sides were okay. The overall vibe was nice inside the restaurant but food is average and nothing to rave about.

Visited for NYE - as always the team go above and beyond to give you a great experience so its no surprise its one of the best restaurants in London. Atmosphere was great - and cocktails were perfect. Been to Hawksmoor more times than I can count but first time having the mash and gravy - will now be a staple every visit alongside the creamed spinach and mac. Very glad they've just opened a restaurant in NYC and can't wait to try it when I'm there!

We held our wedding at Hawksmoor last weekend and couldn't fault the venue. Massive thank you to all staff (bar, kitchen, wait, events) for making everything run so smoothly. Many of our guests commented on the high standard of service - drinks were always topped up, dietary requirements were dealt with seamlessly and the food was absolutely delicious. Everyone working that day was so attentive, efficient and friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we all had a great time.It’s a shame that Hawksmoor Guildhall will no longer be hosting weddings, as I otherwise I would be recommending them as a venue to everyone - but for any events, private dining, special occasions etc. you will definitely be in very safe hands.

Amazing food. The express menu offers good value (currently £20 for 2 courses), but there is a £6 surcharge for the steak. Worth it though.

I can gladly say this is the best experience I have ever had at a restaurant, it was outstanding.My girlfriend and I arrived late in the evening to a welcoming front desk, we were promptly seated in a great seat in the corner of the room.Seating and the tables etc were very clean and comfortable and the room had the most amazing atmosphere! It was quite loud but this did not detract from the experience.We were served by a lovely waitress who gave us plenty of time to settle and read the menu, we did not feel rushed at all.The food itself was magnificent to say the least and very reasonable priced, they have a great range of food and drinks so there is something for everyoneThe portions are quite big so don't get too many sides if you aren't ravenous!The tables are candle lit and the lights are low so it creates a great atmosphere for a romantic meal or a work outing etc.All facilities including the toilets were very clean and sanitised well.I'll be coming back as soon as I can!

One of the best steaks I’ve ever had 😍😍😍 We had a 650g Chateaubriand😍 All the food was absolutely amazing! And the staff were so lovely. Will definitely be going back 😍
