Searcys is a British hospitality company known for its elegant restaurants, Champagne bars, and catering services, especially in prestigious and historic venues. While we are always looking forward, we remain firmly rooted in our rich heritage. Founded in 1847, our story can be traced back to the vision of one man: Victorian entrepreneur and the Duke of Northumberland’s confectioner, John Searcy. He honed his skills catering at private parties for royalty and high society, and word soon spread of his talent. After 10 years of service to the Duke and Duchess, he set up his very own hospitality company in 1847. Before long, he became the most sought-after caterer in the area, renowned for his artistry and attention to detail.

“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
