Win a £400 voucher to spend at Hawksmoor!

Regular visitors to matchingfoodandwine.com will know that over the years I’ve taken shameless advantage of the fact that my son is a founder partner of the Hawksmoor steak restaurant group and this month is no exception

He must have been feeling in a particularly mellow mood as he’s offered a £400 voucher to splurge in any of his nine restaurants in London, Manchester, Edinburgh or - opening later this autumn - their brand new restaurant in Liverpool. A crazy, push-the-boat out meal for two, a slap-up meal for four or spread the love with a feast for six, eight or even 10 by taking advantage of one of the lunch or early evening meal deals.

If you worry that you’re not much of a meat eater - although Hawksmoor is the perfect place to enjoy a great steak* - they also have a fantastic seafood menu.

(*they were recently voted the world’s best steak restaurant and are one of the only UK restaurants to receive a B Corp certification for their high environmental and social standards. Yes, I am a proud mum!)

You can use the voucher any time - just present the card when you settle the bill.

The closing date for the competition is 11.59pm GMT on Monday October 31st 2022 and you must live in the UK and be over 18 to enter.

Win a fantastic Hawksmoor steak box for two

Now I know this month’s prize might be considered unsuitable for January being neither meat-, carb- or alcohol-free but given we’re all in lockdown AGAIN we thought it might be welcome. Especially if you’re a Hawksmoor fan and can’t get to the restaurants currently.

I’ve persuaded my son Will* to offer not just one but two of their fabulous Porterhouse boxes worth £125 each. You can find the exact contents on the Hawksmoor website but here's how they describe it:

"The star of the show is a properly dry-aged giant Porterhouse for 2, from the same traditional breed grass-fed beef served in our restaurants. Along with everything you need to make bone marrow gravy alongside our Executive Chef - Matt Brown's ultimate oven chips and creamed spinach. Finish off the evening with a large sticky toffee pudding to share with our favourite clotted cream to dollop on top.

To get you in the mood? A specially created bottle of Hawksmoor Ultimate Martini you just need to stick in the freezer for a couple of hours, no shaking, no stirring, the perfect martini every time. There’s also a bottle of one of our favourite wines, Rosso Braida, and a couple of Hawksmoor IPAs."

Now you’ll need to be on the ball with this one because the closing date is earlier than usual at 11.59pm GMT on Wednesday January 20th and we will need our winners to accept the prize by return in order to have it out for delivery the following week - the last week when that particular box is going to be available.

You will also need to consume the contents within two days of delivery - they are not suitable for home freezing.
