HAWKSMOOR
Our focus is always to give the best restaurant experience to the most people possible.
On Thursday, a public figure was asked to leave one of our restaurants because guests and staff felt uncomfortable and had complained. The party left peacefully and politely on request.
This was not about politics or beliefs. Hawksmoor is not a political organisation; we're a group of restaurants. We want to welcome as many people as possible, regardless of background or views, to our teams or as our guests.
We're not trying to engage in a public debate. The team has had to deal with a huge amount of fallout from this, some of which is quite concerning. We would like to get back to focussing on looking after those people, and our guests. Thank you to them, and the many of you who have been so supportive.

“Silence is complicity” lacks nuance.
But surely applies to a brand that can spare a few quid to up security.
Kudos on handling the situation as it happened.
But have the balls to say what your values are.
Or does Hawksmoor prefer serving gammon now?
