Eating Out, London: Hawksmoor

Looking for the perfect roast? I think I’ve found it. If you ever find yourself in London on a Sunday with no plans, it’s time to get booking (and definitely book as it’s extremely popular).


We visited the Knightsbridge restaurant and without question ordered the slow-roast rump Sunday lunch, yes you read that right, a rump roast. A plate piled high arrived at the table including duck fat roast potatoes, vegetables, onion gravy and a giant Yorkshire pudding. The meat was tender, the potatoes had the perfect amount of crunch and the Yorkshire pudding was a thing of dreams.

For dessert, we shared the sticky toffee pudding with clotted cream as it had been recommended and we didn’t have the capacity for a dessert each. The pudding was moist, had the perfect amount of sauce slathered over and was complimented by the clotted cream. I’d highly recommend it, however Hawksmoor is famous for its Rolo dessert so you may want to give those a try, the table next to us had them and they looked great!
I can’t force you to go but let’s just say I’m already planning my next visit!
