RichM I’ve been prob every year or two for the past 20 years and very little has changed there. Still same old faux friendly service and a menu that has hardly changed… shit condiments… Roxies of SW London does way better steak. The peanut butter shortbread is a great dessert though.

I should add I got food poisoning there once and they refused to admit culpability even though my mate also went down with it…. And, forgetting we were both on the email, the manager sends an email to the head waiter saying “you smooth talking fucker”…. So yeah tad biased, but i know no one who goes there unless nothing else available.

    Jules72 it’s a steak restaurant you clown. Zero need to fuck about with a winning formula.

        Cankles-McJeggings lol right so you’re basing this on a single visit whilst also claiming Australian beef (half of which is pumped full of growth hormones) is better. From your generic description it sounds like you’ve never been near the place tbh.

            mono-stereo

            Lol yeh I just simply made it up. Where the fuck have you got that all Aussie beef is full of hormones, have you even been? Even the supermarket shite has stickers on it that they don’t. Everything is top notch in restaurants, usually hung in dryers on display. Full description of it’s origin, age and feeding habits.
            And why the fuck can’t I base it on a single visit? Would you go back to somewhere that charged a fortune for average shite? It was toss. Everyone with me said it was toss too. 5 adults. Yeh you know what? Let’s all go back.

                On the basis that Dermo says that The Strokes are the best band he’s ever seen live I think it’s safe to say we can consider his opinion on most matters null and void.

                I never said the best, I said one of the best. You carry on with Kylie Minogue and Robbie Williams you long necked spastic.

                  Jules72 this might sound strange, but if fancy Thai food I go to a thai restaurant, if I fancy tacos I go to a Mexican restaurant, and if I fancy steak I go to a steak restaurant, of which Hawksmoor is consistently up there as one of the better steak restaurants in U.K.

                  Why the need for it to turn into something else is puzzling to me.

                    There are cantinas in Buenos Aires where you sit on plastic Coca Cola chairs that do steaks as good as any on that list. Paying through the nose for a steak in New York or London seems ridiculous to me just because they have leather seats and stack the chips into a fancy cup. Each to their own but I think its a waste of money when you can do it at home yourself with a rib eye from Aldi and add 5 or 6 types of spud as a side.

                      Cankles-McJeggings I never said the best, I said one of the best. You carry on with Kylie Minogue and Robbie Williams you long necked spastic.

                        I think there should be more focus on potato steaks

                        I don’t see how Steak can be done or taste better in certain countries anyway. I’ve had cuts here that are as good as I’ve had anywhere. Its really hard to fuck up a steak unless its the chef’s first time and they’re blind and/or flying off their face. Incidentally, I had Kangaroo in Perth in a red wine sauce. Cost me a fortune. Tasted good. Won’t be back. Cheers.

                        Is there such a thing as an entirely potato-based restaurant? Spud U Like notwithstanding

                          Perhaps a restaurant that just sells drugs as well

                          Millsy Might grate on Jules that. “I’ve been coming here for 20 years and all you have is 27 types of Spud. Could you not add Cauliflower or jazz up the decor a bit?”

                            Dermo is just angry because the eggs and bacon in australia are properly shit. Anyway why would you eat beef when you can have roo or croc steaks instead?

                            Hawksmoor is a winning formula that does not need to change. I like it.

                            Rib eye from aldi. Love it. If you can cook it as well at home, go for it. Personally I’ll splash the cash.

                            Met with one of the founders of the Hawksmoor a few years ago, really sound bloke.

                            I also know of the C-Suite execs there meaning I occasionally get 50% off when I go there.

                            Talk about winning!
