Hawksmoor is a British steakhouse and cocktail bar. The original establishment is in Spitalfields, near to where the architect Nicholas Hawksmoor built Christ Church. Subsequently there are four other restaurants in London: in Seven Dials, Air Street nearby Piccadilly Circus, Knightsbridge and Guildhall district of the City. Most recently they have opened their first restaurant outside of London: Hawksmoor Manchester on Deansgate (near Spinningfields). ==Development== The restaurant was founded by Will Beckett and Huw Gott in 2006.〔 They had previously worked in bars and kitchens in London's East End and opened their new bar/restaurant on the Commercial Road there.〔 Their plan was to offer high-quality, well-butchered beef and so they tasted the meat of a variety of breeds and suppliers before choosing the longhorn cattle bred and butchered in Yorkshire by Tim Wilson's Ginger Pig company. Their second branch in Seven Dials was opened in 2010. This was especially successful and the turnover of their company, Underdog, increased from £4 million to £11 million.〔 In 2013, the founders sold a majority stake in the chain to the private equity group Graphite Capital — investors in other London businesses such as the Groucho Club and Wagamama. The valuation was £35 million but the founders planned to continue to work and invest in the business.〔 The company has been ranked three star Sunday Times Best Companies for four consecutive years (in 2014 was the best restaurant company to work for), three star Sustainable Restaurant Association award as well as being involved in variety of charity projects (predominantly for Action Against Hunger, for which Hawksmoor raised/donated over £500,000). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hawksmoor (restaurant)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
