Hawksmoor Seven Dials

London, Covent Garden - British - Restaurant - £££

Bullish homage to best-in-show grass-fed British beef

Overall Rating: Good

Uniqueness:Does the establishment stand out in the context of the local area? Good

Deliciousness:How delicious is the food? Good

Warmth:How warm is the service and the hospitality in general? Good

Strength of recommendation:How enthusiastically and widely would you recommend the establishment? Good

The sprawling site of the old Watney Combe brewery (once the largest in London) is a fitting spot for this branch of Messrs Beckett and Gott's British steakhouse chain. In Georgian times, annual steakathons were held here which were popular with the great and the good – including royalty. These days hefty slabs of well-aged, British-reared beef, including porterhouse, bone-in prime ribs, ribeyes and other cuts are priced by weight, chargrilled to order and served with a choice of sauces, sides and unmissable accompaniments such as triple-cooked chips, fried eggs, grilled bone marrow and macaroni cheese. A starter portion of Old Spot pork ribs with vinegar slaw is a good way of limbering up, but there are some excellent alternatives including simple crab on toast, roast scallops with white port and garlic butter or spiced heritage carrots with goat’s curd and buckwheat.

A great-value fixed-price menu is an invaluable resource for the local crowd, and Hawksmoor’s Sunday roasts have an enviable reputation (‘they’re the highlight of our trips to London,’ noted one fan). The group is also justly renowned for its beers and its inventive cocktail selection, as well as its list of bold meat-loving wines – although prices take no prisoners.
