Hawksmoor to open first Liverpool restaurant this year

Hawksmoor, famous for its steaks and cocktails, will launch its first restaurant in Liverpool in the Grade II-listed India Buildings on the corner of Brunswick Street and Fenwick Street later this year.

Co-founder Will Beckett said: "We‘ve spent lots of time in Liverpool over the years, and it's one of the most exciting and dynamic cities in the country. We've found a beautiful, listed building in such a great location. It's an amazing site, we're really excited to do it justice by building something really special.

"We have made lots of friends in Liverpool, many who run and own some of the fantastic independent bars and restaurants that make Liverpool tick, and have been such a key part of the reputation Liverpool has developed in the last few years. We've been talking to them for a long time about how we can build a restaurant that would really fit into this city."

Hawksmoor was founded by Beckett and his childhood friend Huw Gott in London in 2006. The company has since expanded to seven restaurants in the capital, one in Manchester, one in Edinburgh and launched its first international location in New York in 2021.

The group launched Hawksmoor at Home meal kits during the pandemic but announced last week the initiative would be coming to an end on 24 May.

Legal & General, owner of the India Building, said: "L&G are really pleased to welcome Hawksmoor to this truly outstanding Grade II-listed building, and are excited to see the further transformation of India Buildings through the tenant fit out of this and the adjacent Banking Hall unit, where tenant discussions are ongoing."
