Hawksmoor to reopen all sites by September

Hawksmoor has revealed its phased reopening strategy as it plans to have all eight restaurants open by the beginning of September.

Starting with its Borough site on 9 July, the Graphite Capital-backed group will open for weekday dinners and all day at the weekend as part of a learning phase, before reopening its other sites throughout the summer.

Alongside the dine-in relaunch, the business has expanded its Hawksmoor at Home offer nationwide, giving consumers the opportunity to order a delivery box containing fresh ingredients and a cookbook to ‘recreate the Hawksmoor experience at home.’

The boxes will be limited to 500 per week over the next six weeks via the Hawksmoor website, and the business has said there is scope to expand the range if it proves successful.

“Our intention is to work extremely hard behind the scenes to make everything as safe for our staff and customers as possible, so that when you come and sit in our restaurants everything will feel as normal as it can be,” said co-founder Will Beckett.

“We are lucky to have restaurants where social distancing is relatively easy, to have been able to consult with government on the guidance over the last months, and to have the resources to ensure we go above and beyond to ensure we are covid-secure.

“We believe that customers are likely to want Hawksmoor to do what it has always done and offer people a haven from the outside world, where you can be comfortable with the people you’re eating and drinking with. If we learn differently, we will adapt.”
