4 /5 Wandering Fork: recently booked Hawksmoor for a group birthday, and overall it was a great experience but with a few bumps.
Organising it as a large group was honestly quite difficult. We were probably just unlucky with the timing of a menu change, but it made booking more complicated than expected. The original booking link didn’t work, there was a requirement for set menus and pre-orders, and it led to quite a lot of back-and-forth over email. When the bill came, there were multiple revisions as the set menu we’d been sent hadn’t yet been properly costed in their system. So from an organisation perspective, especially for large groups, it felt a bit rough and not as streamlined as you’d hope.
That said - on the day itself, the staff completely turned it around. They were welcoming, friendly, and phenomenal at making the birthday feel special. The service felt warm and genuine, and you could tell they cared about the experience.
And the food? Amazing. Absolutely lived up to expectations.
So while the admin side could use tightening up for group bookings, the atmosphere, staff and food really delivered. Would recommend!
