tWill beckett and Huw Gott have launched their first restaurant outside of London, Hawksmoor Manchester. The sixth restaurant in the group echoes the theme with an Edwardian interior and a menu revolving around steaks from ethically-reared native breed cattle along with sustainable seafood from around the British coast.
The interior takes its cue from the landmark Grade II listed Courthouse building the restaurant is located in. Reclaimed materials - including parquet flooring from a courthouse in the Midlands, glazed bricks from a Nottingham factory, oak panelling from Birmingham's Sandwell College and copperlight doors from a 1910 University of the Arts building - are used extensively to create a comfortable lived-in feel, with a touch of glamour coming from a long bar clad in brass and a run of antique Holophane pendant lights shipped over from New Jewsey.
The menu features a number if new dishes created especially for the Manchester restaurant including Shortrib Macaroni, Veal Rum with Fried Oysters, Cottage Pie Potato Skins and Maple Bacon.
