The story
Hawksmoor Air Street delivers classic British steakhouse fare in London's Soho, where the group expanded its reputation beyond beef to embrace the sea. This West End location secured a Good Food Guide award for balancing chargrilled cuts with a robust selection of fresh catch inside a venue defined by architectural drama. Ten specially commissioned floor-to-ceiling stained glass windows frame views toward Regent Street, establishing a grand backdrop for the menu. The owners chose this site to introduce seafood to their portfolio, creating a distinct identity that honors British-reared ingredients while celebrating coastal flavors.
The kitchen anchors service around chargrilled porterhouse, bone-in prime ribs, and ribeyes prepared with precise heat. Whole native lobsters, grilled Dover sole, and roast hake with vinegar peppers and fresh basil round out the main courses. Starters shift the pace with bone marrow and onions on sourdough toast, followed by smoked salmon served alongside Guinness bread. Ash-baked beetroots appear with pickled fennel and horseradish crème fraîche for a vegetable-forward option. Sweet endings feature a chocolate and salted caramel tart or a passion-fruit pavlova accompanied by coconut ice cream.
The bar program highlights a range of sub-zero martinis crafted with spirits like Fords gin, Hepple gin, and Grey Goose vodka. Drink selections extend to craft beers and cider, supported by a wine list focused on punchy reds suited to beef. Great-value fixed-price deals run during lunchtimes and early evenings to accommodate different budgets. Sunday lunch draws regular visitors for high-quality meat and wonderful accompaniments served in the vibrant dining room.
