Hawksmoor Guildhall, the much-loved steakhouse Hawksmoor can be found on Basinghall Street in what's rumoured to be the world's first steakhouse in The City. The restaurant is 2 minutes away from Bank Station.
The Sublime Society Room
A room dedicated to the actors, artists and songsmiths who founded the Sublime Society of Beefsteaks back in 18th Century London. Part members’ club, part secret society, this boho group met weekly to consume vast quantities of beefsteak and booze – just punch, port or porter, no fancy French wines allowed. Before long, everyone wanted in. Even the Prince Regent (soon-to-be King George IV).
The Private Dining Room in Hawksmoor Guildhall, a short walk from Bank, boasts a 24 person dining table centered in an elegant wooden panelled room which pays tribute to the medieval history of The City of London, making this a unique space for a range of events; from dinner & lunches to large gatherings of friends and family. The discrete audio visual equipment, including a 80” screen also makes the space suitable for meetings and presentations.
Cocktail receptions are available on arrival, there are three specially designed sharing menus to choose from, which offer a chance to sample a range of Hawksmoor classic dishes, our team can also suggest wine pairings that are tailored to your choice of menu.
This city branch of the much-loved steakhouse Hawksmoor can be found on Basinghall Street in what’s rumoured to be the world’s first steakhouse, which dates back to the early 18th century. Fast forward to the current day where it certifiably serves up high-quality British steaks to a well-heeled clientele amidst suitably glamorous interiors.
Hawksmoor Guildhall is one of the group’s largest operations, boasting a ginormous bar, dining hall and large private dining room decked out in true Hawksmoor attire – think burgundy leather seating and banquets, wood-panelled walls and parquet flooring.
The bar's capacity is 40 seated and 80 standing, whilst the dining room's capacity can accommodate up to 140 seated.
Luxurious surroundings are matched by a just-as-decadent menu. The events group menus are unmistakably Hawksmoor. We have created sharing menus featuring our favourite iconic and seasonal dishes at a range of prices to best suit your occasion.
Menus are all served family-style - with the steaks cooked to order, sliced and served in cast-iron skillets with our legendary sides and sauces. Sharing puddings complete the feast. You can also select additional items to enhance your meal, add a cocktail reception beforehand, after-dinner drinks, or even gifts for your guests to take home.
We also offer a curated selection of incredible wines to perfectly accompany your feast. You can bring your own wines for a corkage fee.
The menu is complimented by carefully selected wines, chosen by their own in-house sommelier.

June 2024Good ambience, good setup, good food, and amazing customer service. I got my reservation on short notice, walked in, and had an amazing dinner experience. The staff were friendly and supportive, especially with exploring the menu options. I had a starter, main and dessert, and everything was on point. I highly recommend this place.

June 2024Lunch was a bit like going back in time to the days where everyone drank at lunchtime - the place was almost the preserve of older men - suited and booted. I could just have well have been in nyc financial district as guildhall. That said the food was good and not over expensive from the lunch menu and the service friendly and efficient
