    Absolutely wonderful sunday lunch at Hawksmoor Borough! The staff were attentive, friendly and professional. We had the sirloin roast which was delicious, cooked to perfection, large portions, came out hot...perfect! I would recommend ordering the stuffing and bone marrow as sides. The restaurant was busy but didn't feel overcrowded or too loud, really good atmosphere and we'll definitely be back...well done! 🙂

    A great venue, away from the hustle and bustle of Borough Market. Menu changes every few weeks. My favourite starter is the scotch egg (divine!), sausage and mash always good. Pear crumble dessert is fab. The outstanding thing about the restaurant is its staff who are so professional and knowledgeable.
