Hawksmoor have been doing rather well across the pond of late, with successful restaurant openings in New York and Chicago. And while they're not opening any new Hawksmoors in London (just yet), they have just unveiled a brand new lunchtime menu that may well entice you back if you haven't been in a while.
At the top of the list, for us anyway, is the Tunworth Royale patty melt - which as most of you will know is essentially a burger in a toasted sandwich. It's made with the Tunworth cheese that also enhances their mash (along with some extra mozzarella) between "Texas Toast". Essentially it's what happens when Hawksmoor does cheese toasties.
Also new to the menu are:
- Beefsteak pudding - braised short rib, red wine, Somerset cider brandy and winter vegetables in a suet pastry crust
- Flatiron steak with Café de Paris - served with beef dripping fries, a salad of watercress, shaved radishes and cornichons in a mustard dressing.
- Shortrib au poivre - 10-hour slow-cooked short rib, brushed in mustard, dipped in cracked pepper and coated in peppercorn sauce
- Salt-baked celeriac - with Hen of the Woods mushrooms lightly glazed with soy sauce, and whipped ricotta
On top of that, Executive pastry chef Carla Henriques has brought over four new desserts from the US restaurants, including a hot chocolate tart with brown butter ice cream and a rhubarb pavlova that we feel compelled to try.
All those are on the menu now, for lunchtimes only from Monday to Saturday, and expect to see that patty melt on many an Instagram feed.
