“Quite simply the best steak I have ever eaten in this country." Jay Rayner, The Observer When we started out we had a simple plan - to open the best steak restaurant in London. We travelled the world, from steakhouse to steakhouse, searching for the perfect steak, but discovered that beef from carefully reared cattle right here in Britain and cooked simply over real charcoal, packed more flavour than anything we tried on our travels. We opened our first restaurant in Spitalfields in 2006, and after four years of trying to get that one as good as possible we then opened in Seven Dials, Guildhall, Air Street, Knightsbridge and Borough as well our first restaurants outside of London, in other cities that we love – Manchester, Edinburgh and Liverpool. Careers with Hawksmoor are among the best – generous pay and benefits, award-winning restaurants, unrivalled career opportunities and some of the happiest people in the business (as voted by the people who work here). We have been recognised as one of the top companies to work for in the UK by Best Companies every year for the past decade. We’re always on the lookout for talented, passionate people, so please do get in touch if you are interested in joining us. https://harri.com/hawksmoor Best Companies to Work For 2012 – 2023 #WorkSomewhereAwesome

Ottolenghi began in a small shop in Notting Hill, London in 2002. Chefs Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi were at the helm, creating a unique deli, restaurant, and bakery setting, which soon became a clear reflection of our obsessive relationship with food. With a commitment to the championing of vegetables, well-sourced produce, and unusual ingredients, Ottolenghi has become known internationally for food which is full of colour, flavour, bounty, and sunshine. Now a proud family of delis and restaurants, we have four Ottolenghi delis in Notting Hill, Islington, Chelsea, and Marylebone, as well as three restaurants - Ottolenghi Spitalfields, NOPI & ROVI. In all our locations you’ll find vibrant food, low intervention wines, and warm hospitality. Since 2002, the Ottolenghi family has slowly expanded and our scope has grown, but so much, crucially, has remained the same. The people behind our food are a dedicated and enthusiastic team who make Ottolenghi what it is today as we continue to nurture meaningful relationships with our local communities, welcome international guests with excitement, and enjoy sharing beautiful food. Simply put, we are serious about making people happy through our food.
