In a Sentence

Lavish bar food at Hawksmoor’s shiny Air Street location.

Vibe

Classic luxury with a cool edge – all bottle green booths, stain glass windows and brassy hues, it feels very 1920s (as does the cocktail list).

Flavours

Decidedly British. Fried queenies (battered scallops) and seasonal pickles are great to pick at with cocktails, and try the ethically sourced caviar – served on blinis with sour cream and parsley – to step things up. Otherwise, go all out with Mitch Tonk’s simple crab sandwich or the oozing, braised beef, short rib French dip in brioche with bone marrow gravy.

Top Tip

If you’re off alcohol go for the cereal milkshake. David Chang eat your heart out.

Highlight

The cocktail list, arranged as a timetable. Go for the “Anti-Fogmatics” section post-work.
