"You’ve probably heard of Hawksmoor. In fact, we’re pretty sure that even the aliens are out there right now, contemplating a trip to Earth to try out Hawksmoor’s huge slabs of sirloin. This ever popular mini-chain of steak restaurants serve every cut of cow that you could imagine, and know how to cook a proper piece of meat. But whether you go for a big Sunday roast or some Thursday night T-bone, be sure to get the sticky toffee pudding. We repeat, get the sticky toffee pudding. It’s excellent. Their moody Spitalfields branch is their OG spot, but the only thing to add is that I once used their accessible bathroom whilst on crutches and there were some high chairs being stored in there - sigh - so it might be worth putting a note on your online booking." - heidi lauth beasley
