Hawksmoor Manchester

Hawksmoor Manchester is a steakhouse at 184-186 Deansgate in central Manchester, England, part of the Hawksmoor group known for dry-aged British beef cooked over charcoal. The Manchester branch sits on Deansgate, the city's main thoroughfare, within walking distance of St Peter's Square, Spinningfields and the Opera House. The menu is built around British steak and seafood, with sharing cuts such as the Longhorn Feast among the signature items, and a Sunday roast of dry-aged rump with bone-marrow gravy is a weekend feature. Prices vary considerably between lunch and dinner: a set lunch costs roughly £21-30 per person, while à la carte dinner typically runs at about £60-90 per person, making lunch the clearest way to reduce the bill. The dining room is a large, polished and atmospheric space, with a lively, confident feel and moderate to high noise on busy evenings. There is no formal dress code, though many diners dress smartly for dinner. Opening hours are Monday to Thursday 11:45-23:00, Friday and Saturday 11:45-23:30, and Sunday 11:30-22:30. Reservations are recommended and can be made at thehawksmoor.com or by phone on +44 161 836 6980; Friday and Saturday evenings and Sunday lunch fill first, and booking one to two weeks ahead is sensible, longer for large groups. Sharing cuts are the common choice for two or more, with sides ordered separately, and the cocktail list is a popular start to the meal. The wine list is substantial, and a bottle will raise the total well above the quoted dinner range. Dietary requirements should be raised in advance, as the menu is meat-led, though seafood and vegetable options are available. The central location is easy to reach by Metrolink and on foot. For visitors wanting a serious steak dinner in Manchester, Hawksmoor is an established choice, and the set lunch offers good value.
