Hawksmoor Manchester

Hawksmoor Manchester is a steak and seafood restaurant at 186 Deansgate, beside Spinningfields. It occupies a Victorian courthouse, with the building’s history reflected in the interior through reclaimed parquet flooring and timber panelling. The setting gives the dining room a characterful, period feel while keeping the focus on food and drink.

Steak is central to the menu, with beef cooked over live charcoal and dry-aged cuts forming part of the restaurant’s approach. Seafood also features, alongside Sunday roast dining and vegetarian choices. The cooking is suited to relaxed lunches, evening meals and longer dinners built around sharing dishes.

The bar offers a separate way to use the venue, with cocktails and bar snacks available alongside the restaurant service. It can suit a drink before dinner, a more casual meal or an evening centred on the bar rather than a full dining booking.

Private dining is available for groups of up to 14 guests, while a semi-private area can seat up to 30. These spaces make the restaurant suitable for celebrations, business meals and larger gatherings that need a little more separation from the main dining room. Smaller parties can use the standard restaurant or bar areas.

The Deansgate location places the restaurant close to Spinningfields and within walking distance of Salford Central and Manchester Oxford Road stations. The Northern Quarter and Gay Village are also nearby for extending an evening beyond the meal. Hawksmoor’s combination of charcoal-cooked steak, seafood, cocktails and a historic setting gives it a polished but accessible choice for diners looking for a substantial meal in central Manchester.
