Lunch at The Hawksmoor

Deansgate, Manchester

Monday 13th July 2015

Lunch at Hawksmoor turned out to be a jolly affair. Spurred on by excellent reports from the London Branch visit to Hawksmoor Guildhall, 38 of our members visited the latest addition to the Manchester gastronomic scene at the refurbished Victorian courthouse. The architectural changes are fascinating and create an ambience of comfort and tradition which like the no fuss menu will appeal to the Manchester business community.

We parted from our usual format and were offered a surprise three course menu with choices. This was produced from excellent ingredients,cooked simply with flare and served with no nonsense.

On this occasion members were invited to take in their own wines. As most were expecting to choose the steak, there was on the table a fine selection of reds ranging from Pillastro Italy 2010 , Tarras Pinot Noir NZ 2009,to Clos du Chateau de Puligny-Montrachet Bourgogne 2007, choices which encouraged much chatter and happy banter. All in all a most enjoyable lunch.
