A sweeping Art Deco space overlooking Regent Street, complete with 10 specially commissioned floor-to-ceiling stained glass windows, this West End branch of the Hawksmoor steakhouse group is where the owners first added seafood to their repertoire of well-aged, British-reared beef. Chargrilled porterhouse, bone-in prime ribs, ribeyes and other cuts with suitable sauces and sides are still the main contenders, but this outlet also offersthe likes of whole native lobsters, grilled Dover sole and roast hake with vinegar peppers and fresh basil.

Not surprisingly, Sunday lunch is one of Hawksmoor’s dream tickets: ‘consistently high-quality meat and wonderful accompaniments, served with panache in a buzzing room.’ There's also a great-value fixed-price deal (lunchtimes and early evening), and the group is justly renowned for its beers and its fabulous cocktail selection, as well as its list of punchy beef-friendly wines – although prices rise relentlessly to stratospheric four-figure heights.
