Ever since the surprise closure of Victor Garvey at The Midland Grand, there have been rumours about who was going to take over the very impressive dining room next. One of the rumours that we heard most was that Hawksmoor were in talks - and now we have confirmation. Hawksmoor St Pancras will be the group's eighth restaurant in London, and it's coming with something we very much like the sound of: The Martini Bar.
The main restaurant will take over what was The Midland Grand, which was originally redesigned when Patrick Powell first launched that restaurant. Don't expect too much of an overhaul of the overall structure of the space as it already looks incredible. As Hawksmoor's Will Beckett says, "There are very few buildings that Huw and I have always spoken about as dream Hawksmoors, and this is one". Co-founder Huw Gott continues, "I’ve always loved working with incredible architectural heritage, and there are no finer buildings around".
As for the bar, what was The Gothic Bar will become The Martini Bar and again, it's a great-looking room with high vaulted ceilings. In addition to the main bar and terrace, there will also be a DJ stage.
It's early days for news on this, but we're anticipating things to move quickly for a November opening. For the menu, expect the usual great steaks, cocktails and much more. And probably quite a few new martinis. We'll bring you more details as we get them.
