The menu has many options, including for vegetarians, but the rib-eye is the way to go (especially if you add the bone marrow gravy). Hawksmoor is also known for its massive Sunday roast, available from lunchtime on Sundays, and it's the sort of spot where you can pop in for a burger at the bar or go all out for a special occasion."

It's been transformed into a smart all-day dining destination, inspired by Liam's favourite hangouts in the Lower East Side of Manhattan."
