Nobody does it quite like Hawksmoor
Nowhere does meat quite like the legendary Hawksmoor. Their Sunday roasts are nothing short of divine, having twice earned the title of Best in the UK. It's a true team effort–an entire rump of 35-day dry-aged beef is slow-cooked over charcoal before getting a perfect oven finish. Naturally, it comes with all the essential trimmings: crispy beef-dripping potatoes, buttered greens, carrots, towering Yorkshire puddings, and cauliflower cheese, all drenched in their luscious bone marrow gravy.
