What: Foxlow Soho
In a nutshell: Hawksmoor Spinoff comes to Soho
Summing it all up: The people behind Hawksmoor are finally descending on Soho with their spinoff, Foxlow. Expect steak, ribs, chicken and more...
The low-down
Having only just launched Hawksmoor in Borough, their team are at it again - getting ready to unveil their latest Foxlow in Soho, just off Golden Square.
It's a two-floor affair, with lots of counter seating upstairs around a U-shaped bar and apparently "an illuminated canopy inspired by the cinemas of the 1960s and 70s." Downstairs can fit 40 more - and the open kitchen is down there too.
While the menu remains very much a meaty affair, there's a smattering of vegan options too:
- Slow-smoked pork ribs (these are so, so good)
- Five pepper Brixham squid
- Fried Castlemead chicken and steaks sourced from small British farms
- Those vegan options include "Spice roasted cauliflower with chickpeas & spinach" and "Warm lentils with sweet potato and tahini
And on top of that, there's a daily brunch including their "Fried chicken, egg & croissant waffle" and a Sunday roast of either beef with all the trimmings or the new Chicken pot roast with cider braised turnips, parsnips & heritage carrots (that's it above).
And cocktails are clearly a big thing here too. Expect new drinks like Greenpoint (rye, vermouth, yellow chartreuse) and Shaquiri (Manzanilla, lime, Peychaud’s bitters) as well as Foxlow faves like the Miami Dolphin (strawberry-infused rum, lime, pina colada foam).
